Lawrence of Arabia - Overture - Maurice Jarre

[nv7103]

theintelligent, the world should be easier to live in. Humans are born by the grace of their god and not by any state. Ideologies may seek to convert the minds of many and some by brute force where their logic falls flat but music has a greater power to unite us all. For this posting, i hope it unites a favorable LIKE and pleasure to enjoy. A hearty cheers to everyone listening wherever you are and have a really fun day.

[theintelligent1973]

Although this a romanticized version of the real conflict it should be mandatory for ALL Americans to see this movie, they would learn how the middle eastern fight for their land. They know how to kick ass. Ron Paul 2012!!! He'll get us out of the middle east and stop interfering in other countries' affairs.

LA BESTIA POP!!!

[captainbadd]

No prisoners!! No prisoners!!!

[JakeComeauNotFrench]

I love this song and I just saw the movie

[theintelligent1973]

@JakeComeauNotFrench This is NOT a song, this is a melody.

[Aelia192]

I Play this song at the piano, it s so beautiful :)

[Rockyblu1]

Brano fantastico fuori dagli soliti schemi e sempre attuale. ♥ ♫ ♥

[dogcat126]

i saw this movie when it first came out(i am 63) and i just fell in love with it. the music is beautiful, the man(Peter O'toole of course but i mean the real Lawrence) was beautiful, the scenery was beautiful and i saw it about 3 times and of course bought the album. I was so inspired by the real man that i did a report on him in school. thanks soso much for posting this great music!!!!

[TheGeorge2104]

people who do not appreciate this kind of upper class music don't what they are missing . this has everything pannache decorum , feel sorry for you guys who dont like this music

[yutethebeaute]

Practically, all the US presidents have been "Lawrence". Each one of them had temerity to think that he (no she, so far) could bring peace and prosperity to the foreign place that is Middle East

[TheHasanMurat]

Im a Turk, i dont like it :D (Noot)

[mrsbloomers]

It's the SONG! Leave all the politics out. I heard it when I was a kid and have never forgotten it.

[sofiahaus]

sofiahaus...what a man!!!!!!



[BERWARTG1989]

A chaque fois je vois l'immensité et la majesté du désert !!!

[emiljose15]

however inaccurate this film maybe, its a cinematic masterpiece and it will be long remembered.

[theprettyduke]

3 turks came here and click dislike button

[thearabsword1]

fuck this dirty crusader agent

[Schweinetot]

@thearabsword1 No, fuck you sir.

The British Army considered him to be something of an embarrassment, a reckless knight-errant, and generally considered his Arab guerillas to be a band of ill-controlled thugs.

His popularity in Britain really came after the war, when the story of his exploits became widespread, and he published a memoir of the events, Seven Pillars of Wisdom. His role is certainly exaggerated, and derived in part from the idealised Mighty Whitey.

[fromwilliams]

Lawrence of Arabia is highly overrated both in terms of his role, and the legend surrounding him. His role was a very small one in the Arab revolt, the real movers and shakers behind it were Sharif Husain and Shikh Faisal, Lawrence functioned basically as no more than a British adviser to the Arabs.

Much of his lionization was due to British propaganda and racial biases. Terribly inaccurate movie.I doubt most Arabs even know of him, he was a minor figure inreality.

[Abdallah0822]

God curse this fool who got muslims to fight and kill other muslims(the turks) and divided our ummah. God forgive us, our stupidity for abandoning the principles of our religion.

[dilhoule]

great film, I saw it about 20 years ago but in the end I sitll find me cring like a little child.

[59newlife1]

w palestina free!!!

[chicobond89]

makes me feel brave.

[sauvagetbeau]

Une musique envôutante et fascinante comme les dunes du desert ! Quel beau film et surtout une leçon d'hypocrisie sur les motivations finançiéres de ceux qui ont exploité la foi et la folie de Lawrence ! Des acteurs sublissimes .....

[Levita156]

Sounds very familiar to me...It reminds me of the music of the film "Troy". Maybe James Horner needed a little inspiration!

[musicroman]

Very nice

[SoleilAndalou]

Merveilleux !!! J'ai vu une fois le film à sa sortie, je n'ai jamais oublié cette belle musique de Maurice Jarre. Merci.

[LEOPARDTWO]

Five stars! I am not an Arab. I am an AMERICAN!

[Miram88]

A great British film, by one of the greatest British directors ever! David Lean is phenomenal! As is this music.

[jay1jayf]

wat movie be song was now today?

[1990SuperGeek]

I just saw this film for the first time, and it was entertaining. I thought that there were a few scenes that seemed to have slow pacing, but other then that I enjoyed it.

[RaphaelJ01]

WOW! This is beautiful!!!

[ExtraCommunitaro1]

He was a Brit....and the Brits took Arabia from him..his own people, the Brits, treated him like shit...he should have fought against the Brits, his own motherfucked people..and not against the Turkish..the Brits in Egypt were traitors...and he believed in the help of these fucking traitors...he wanted a FREE ARABIA! Free vom Brit or US influence!

[TheAnti3mo]

You deceived the British and thus the state of Israel was established. Stupid Arabs.

[Eliiii93]

great soundtrack

best part starts at 1:49

[Kamasutraschorsch]

great actors, movie and soundtrack

[devildogjosh1942]

gotta love the Arabs. fighting for freedom from the jerk Turks

[jay1jayf]

i wat movie is dis song?

[cb43569]

@jay1jayf Lawrence of Arabia, you genius.

[VanSisean]

An adequate mix of Arabian and British Overtones...blended together perfectly into the best theme to ever don a film.

[degree7]

Has this film been remastered yet?

[batallonzepita]

Excelente banda sonora.

Excelente película.

[AspiringPotato]

Too bad none of the new films have overtures. And it seems like only 5 seconds of each song on a soundtrack is actually in a film nowadays.

[DarthBias]

Then again, based on some of their qualities, if they deserve an overture ...

[101282162]

هذا الفيلم اساءة للعرب لأنه يوضوح المخرج والكاتب كيف الأوربي صاحب العيون الزرقاء والشعر الأصفر ومحتسي الخمر كيف يحب الصحراء و يستطيع العيش فيها وينقض العرب

[parisami01]

@101282162: it shows how AL SAOUD are stupid to fight against the Khalifa and the Hashimit to dominate the Hidjaz with the collaboration of the britans and the West !

[ngabcle]

The movie is majestic and very evocative of Middle Eastern/oriental music. Love it!

[zeekwolfe]

In what way does your comment allow us to better appreciate the music? If you wish to make a political statement, why must you use the scatalogical term for sexual intercourse in a place that might be viewed by children. Only Arabs and Moslems would do such a thing ...du bist ein Narr, einen Obszonitat.

[toasega]

what does "du bist ein Narr, einen Obszonitat" mean?

[zeekwolfe]

It means..."you are a fool, an obscenity."

[toasega]

oh, ok. thank you for telling me! ^-^

[ESeskisehirsporTR]

long live Israel and Turkey!!!

[gladio4ever]

The film and everything around it are masterpieces all in their own right - Its easily on the Top 5, and the music is also in that class.

[tawngee]

I saw the film in Cinerama in NYC in 1962 and was totally blown away by everything, sound, visual, thought. My first date with my future husband. Marriage lasted 45 years; the film will be remembered far longer. My thanks to all those who contributed to the film. I will love it forever.

[5308675309]

it has that great old Arabian feel to it

[prettyboy682]

turks are not strong to defeat arabs but i hope no war will break out cause i believe we are brothers

[KhalSyr]

I love the song that is

[TurkishWarrior80]

You love it !?

They didn't give you prosperity but Israel.Still not became wiser.Fool arabs.If there were Turks today ; no one could dare to set up a hebrew teocratical country on arabic land.

[kaptugan]

orospu çocuklarına cevap vermeye değmez kardeş israille helal olsun analarını sikiyo araptan dost olmaz islamın yüz karaları bunlar nasıl müslüman anlamıyorum

[clintoncristiani]

1x lamacun + 1x ayran please...danke =:]

[staalhaan87]

@KhalSyr I'm an Arab too, and agreed 100%.

[getlikemc]

@KhalSyr what difference does that make?

[Djinnelgahib]

@KhalSyr LOL ! Sorry...

[abogadomanzano]

Maurice Jarre, un verdadero genio, Lawrence de Arabia es una obra maestra que nunca se olvidará, entre otras por sus excelentes actores, director David Lean, cinematografía, guión y ....especialmente la música del maestro: Maurice Jarre, muchas gracias por regalarnos tan bonita creación!

[Ammanah121]

great music with arabic themes

ahhhh...loveeee love lovee the violins

we rock violins

[Webrider101]

Violins are nice but the piano is the king of instruments. Awesome soundtrack!

[ttlms]

Jarre immediately switches gears from the bombastic, angular drums of the opening to the lush violins of the opening theme. First thing I thought of when I heard of his death this morning.

RIP.

[ross10045]

Agreed. Maurice Jarre was one of the finest film score composers of all time.

[planestrains96]

The best movie of all time! Absolutely stunning music, too!

[crysiseternity]

An epic film! No wonder Spielberg loved it and it's soundtrack!

[zaranine]

thanks for posting!

[zaranine]

one of the most wonderful soundtrack ever made !!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm speechless when i heard that !
