E. Lawrence. It was directed by David Lean and produced by Sam Spiegel through his British company Horizon Pictures, with the screenplay by Robert Bolt and Michael Wilson. The film stars Peter O&#8217;Toole in the title role. It is widely considered one of the greatest and most influential films in the history of cinema. The dramatic score by Maurice Jarre and the Super Panavision 70 cinematography by Freddie Young are also highly acclaimed. The film was nominated for ten Academy Awards and won seven in total including Best Director, Best Sound Editing, Best Film Editing, and Best Picture.<\/p>\n<p>The film depicts Lawrence&#8217;s experiences in the Arabian peninsula during World War I, in particular his attacks on Aqaba and Damascus and his involvement in the Arab National Council. Its themes include Lawrence&#8217;s emotional struggles with the personal violence inherent in war, his own identity, and his divided allegiance between his native Britain and its army and his new-found comrades within the Arabian desert tribes.<\/p>\n<p>In 1991, <em>Lawrence of Arabia<\/em> was deemed &#8220;culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant&#8221; and selected for preservation in the United States Library of Congress National Film Registry.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Screenshot_2020-03-07-History-Buffs-Lawrence-of-Arabia.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Screenshot_2020-03-07-History-Buffs-Lawrence-of-Arabia-480x270.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-55492\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Screenshot_2020-03-07-History-Buffs-Lawrence-of-Arabia-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Screenshot_2020-03-07-History-Buffs-Lawrence-of-Arabia-853x480.png 853w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Screenshot_2020-03-07-History-Buffs-Lawrence-of-Arabia-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Screenshot_2020-03-07-History-Buffs-Lawrence-of-Arabia-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Screenshot_2020-03-07-History-Buffs-Lawrence-of-Arabia.png 930w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>History Buffs Published 17 Apr 2016 BIG THANK YOU TO THE GREAT WAR CHANNEL FOR COLLABORATING WITH ME AND MAKING AWESOME VIDEOS!
