Perhaps a better book to read would be T.E. Lawrence's autobiography The Seven Pillars of Wisdom.
That is a book I much rather want to get my hands on Smile

Horse With No Name has perhaps one of the most ungainly phrases ever in lyrical history: "Cos' there ain't no one for to give you no pain". Ummm...huh?
 
Back on subject, Lawrence of Arabia is better than Dr. Zhivago, although the cinematography in both is splendid. Lean's direction of two Dickens' classics, Great Expectations and Oliver Twist, are also superb.
Lawrence Of Arabia but I`ve enjoyed Dr. Zhivago...LOL

Thanks for the link.  I will be able to enjoy the Russian Revolution again.  Smile

I enjoyed A Passage To India.  I don't know who got hurt on that one.

^That's easy to answer. E.M. Forster got hurt by David Lean (he was also the screenwriter) changing the book's ending into a charming let's forget all about the injustices I just suffered through and be good friends from now on type of ending.
A tragedy to mess with one of the world's great novelist's stories.

^Absolutely agree on LoA and Zhivago being widescreen wonders. I wanted to be a cinematographer when I was a young teen after seeing both these movies and the widescreen racing epic Grand Prix that was out about the same time, until I saw Hendrix in concert and it all went strange from there! And it's been a bit strange ever since. Fun but strange! I'm presently in Japan on business, (and dying of jet lag) so how strange is that!

i have later seen Dr Zhivago and I found it highly remarkable, strong cinematic experience, full of psychological intreaguing scenes and things that were thought provoking, in a large way.

i bet they are the equals, of films they share the legacy of greates and has inspired not only films, but also music and literature, the films has, such in a very large way.
