I decided to write about the reception of the film, Lawrence of Arabia, because it is heralded as one of the greatest movies of all times on nearly all respected list of films and respected by many important filmmakers alike. It was releasesd December 16th 1962 and was nominated for 10 Academy Awards 1963, out of the 10 nominted for Lawrence of Arabia only walked away with 7 wins, including best director and best picture.
The public and critics both viewed the film as amazing and influential to fture films as they do today. Directed by David Lean who is well known for many of his other films such as Dr. Zhivago and many more is mostly renowned for his direction in Lawrence of Arabia.
People would react, in my opinion much different than they did when it came out because it doesn't have a very active, intriguing plotline throughout the first half of the film but for good reason, I feel it shows the agonizing slowness an dread of traveling through the desert, while it works very well in the movie it would not grab people's attention today as it would when it was released.
Truthfully I enjoyed the small little tendencies that made the cinematography what it was and how the character of Lawrence changed throughout the story in a almost comical way were just some of the reasons that this fim was given such a big response and is one of the most critically acclaimed movies of all time.
