阿拉伯的勞倫斯1962

What a bold, mad act of genius it was, to make Lawrence of Arabia, or even think that it could be made.

8/10。劳伦斯是映射英国野心的陨落，自我神化的英雄气概颓然崩溃，只能穿起曾烧掉的军装回归身份认同，阿拉伯起义成功后无力发展建设还要靠英国人的帮助，他被同时抛弃成为达成殖民政治协议的棋子，追求功勋的速度最终让其死于超速，在天主教堂的追悼弥撒外被各界名流议论。气势的宏大离不开构图和剪辑技巧的超绝，火柴与朝阳的颜色相似性代表初征的劳伦斯满怀理想，打破他静夜思的少年俩避免了画面单调，表现袭击土耳其铁路的蜿蜒沙丘相拥着蜂拥而下的游击队，劳伦斯举着信号枪跳出战壕仿佛站在世界的中心，在潜入土耳其城市被当作逃兵、纯白肉身受辱，躺入污水的劳伦斯在黑夜的岩石间慢慢前进，身心俱损的内心变得残忍，结尾看到骑骆驼的人，他从吉普车站起又马上坐下，认识到自己不再被阿拉伯需要。美国记者的名片连接大漠、王宫两个地点的转场连贯。

In short, they don't make 'em like this one anymore. Viewing it is like taking a time machine to a movie age that was more naive than our own in some ways, more sophisticated and ambitious in others.
