Lawrence of Arabia - The Battle for the Arab World
Truly excellent service. Arrived as advertised and quickly.
DVD Review: Brilliant
Summary: 5 Stars
Beautiful cinematography and I loved all the original newsreel footage dotted amongst the reenactments and interview snippets. It brought the whole story to life for me. Saw it years ago on television in Canada and really enjoyed it. Recently bought a copy for a friend of mine who thought it was excellent too.DVD Review: Wonderful enlightening documentary
Summary: 5 Stars
Wonderful documentary. Presented the sad story of how the Arabs were tricked into fighting for the British then usurped by the rich Zionists to create the state of Israel.DVD Review: Lawrencemania!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great & quite long documentary about Lawrence detailing his activities when he helped the Arabs create an uprising against the Turks during WWI. It was shown nearly 10 years ago on The History Channel for those lucky enough to have seen it.
It covers pretty much of his known life in detail from when he was a boy & then was assigned as a map clerk in Cario as a Captain & later of course his tragic death on his motor cycle.
From the asking price it looks as if it's becomming quite rare & who knows when they'll shown it on TV again for free?
DVD Review: Nothing New Here.
Summary: 2 Stars
This is a poorly produced program and looks like it was made on a very low budget. I'm very surprised that PBS would put their name to this shoddy piece of work. After seeing Ken Burns Civil War and Mark Twain, was this the best they could come up with for Lawrence Of Arabia? Ken Burns, where are you? We need you to do a proper program on Lawrence. What really amused me was the two phoney "Tribal Historians" they had commenting on Lawrence's activities over 80 years ago. They sit there with their head garb on and mumble away while we get a voice-over..Where did they get these two jokers from? How much did they get paid to sit there? Another let down is the lack of actual film footage of T.E. Lawrence. It does exist and more of it should have been put in. Instead we get some modern day actor who looks like Lawrence riding along on a camel and with many closeups of his face as he ponders his situation. I'd much rather watch Peter O'Toole. Anyway, if your interested in the real facts of Lawrence Of Arabia, suggest you read some of the excellent web sites on the subject. I sat (fell asleep) through this only to learn that Lawrence was an excellent military leader who told the Arabs anything they wanted to hear as long as it benefited Britain in their quest to control Arabia. Too much of the program is devoted to Lawrence being a homosexual. His sexuality is a curiosity to many I suppose but why go on and on about it? Unfortunately as far as television documentaries on Lawrence Of Arabia go, apparantly there is only this one. After seeing this I will stick to watching the excellent movies about him..
Description of Lawrence of Arabia - The Battle for the Arab World
An exploration into the man behind the film-inspired myth, from both Western and Arab perspectives. Thomas Edward Lawrence, a 24-year-old British spy, was a figurehead in the Arab struggle for independence. In 1916, he united Arab tribes and led them in a war against the Turks who ruled over them for 400 years. The consequences of his successes and failures sowed the seeds of conflict that continue to plague the troubled region even today.General DVDs
