Lawrence of Arabia - Conversation with Stephen Spielberg.VOB

[Mi436]

It s incredible to see a great name of cinema talking about one of the greatest films of all time.Spielberg is such a great guy and a brilhant filmmaker :)

[aeopmusic]

AWESOME.

Any filmmaker who admires David Lean is a great filmmaker. With Spielberg, it's obvious.

[ElderSaiyan2]

Spielberg is my HERO!

[leebdough]

"People know. They can tell the difference between a real wave and a digital wave. A real twister from a digital twister. People know this."

Too bad he didn't take that into account while making Indy 4.

[Igotangry]

I could not get it. the intelligent man(?) try to find a way to enter Turkish army office, told ali I am invisible and after got fucked by soldiers, got mad and wanted to leave arabs that could made one who did not see the full movie think actually it was not Turks the arabs had fucked him!the writer who think and audiunce who thought Turkish people can't diffirance blond man in desert from arab men are actually the real stupids. so steven spielberg is stupid too.

[Igotangry]

it is so funny-must be a joke- that a Turkish Pasha is shown as he did  felt himself like he was on a moon because during those times lack of social life and women in streets were same in arabia and anatolia. and during those times people are fighting for muslim lands, in jerusalem Turkish commander and his soldiers even ate grasshoppers to defend the city!I wonder what the fuck was thinking the writer while he was writing these ugly and stupid lies!only a dumb would believe these.

[Igotangry]

what a stupid movie. the Ottoman Turks who brought blonde slav women with coloured eyes to their harem for 600 years would not know what a foreign person is and thought to ask if a person is caucasian because eyes are blue and skin is white!after the stupid scene where liar had so called raped and acclaimed he was about 27-he talked about turning jerusalem captured by allenby. but jerusalem was captured at 1917 and lawrence born in 1888-he even said himself 2 years younger!

[ElTuco84]

He's like a little kid with a new toy when he talks about movies.

[strong1423]

LOL the title say Stephen Spielberg

[botticelligal]

I had the same experience as Spielberg, when I first saw LOA I couldn't quite believe how much it had affected me.

[puppeteye]

i think spielberg is one of the greatest!!! i like him much better that lukas.

[salinagrrrl69]

'Dances with Wolves' vastness scenes was taken right from 'Lawrence of Arabia'.

[Lomito]

And for some reason Spielberg doesn't like to make commentary about his movies, I guess he didn't enjoyed the David Lean live commentary enough, lol.

[fmulder1989]

first of all STEVEN spielberg :D

[23WhiteFlag]

Thumbs up if you're pissed this is "Stephen" instead of "Steven".

[MajCinematic]

Let it go. :)

[23WhiteFlag]

@MajCinematic oh come on...where and when was it EVER spelled "Stephen" in any of his movies or interviews...but,"Stephen,yes,­that sounds right to me."

[MajCinematic]

@23WhiteFlag It's a harmless typo. :)

[IrisMG]

Truly a different era. I have it checked out from the library right now and am watching for the first time, and I'm 50 years old. Unfortunately the library DVD doesn't have a director's narration, and also unfortunately I still have a tube TV. This film, if it were made today, wouldn't work because there is no picture for the 1st 4.5 minutes, and young people just aren't that patient with a developing story, never mind being able to sit thru a 4 hour movie. Here's to old-fashioned filmmaking!

[hunkatiel]

@IrisMG Agreed. Plus there's an intermission 2 hours 19 minutes in. I wonder which was the last film with an intermission.

[IrisMG]

@hunkatiel Dances with Wolves, I thought? Heh, I don't remember now!

[bonzoforlife]

@hunkatiel peter jacksons king kong had an intermission. at least in my cinema ;)

[link64lol]

XD i guess spielberg didnt like Inglorious Bastards (he doesnt like inacurate films about the halocaust)

[tf424]

Watching this film is always a transcendental experience. The story? The accuracy? No matter. The visual experience is everything with this movie.

[Grissha]

Spielberg was once a romantic. Schindler's List deals with a terrifying theme but with a romantic view, you know, "a man can make difference", with a positive conclusion, it's not a desparating movie like, say, Paths of Glory or Full Metal Jacket.

Now, Minority Report, Saving Pr. Ryan and Munich are a quite different phase of Spielberg, there's nothing romantic about these bleak and sort of deluded films, these are much more about Man's failures.

[17iamgod]

Rather pay 285 milion dollars than use CGI

[AllenbysEyes]

The only problem I have with this comment is Spielberg talking about historical accuracy. Lawrence of Arabia DID get attacked, rather viciously, by certain people when it came out, especially Lawrence's family and associates. Plus the Lawrence story wasn't exactly obscure in the US, if you recall Lowell Thomas's shenanigans.

Otherwise, it's a wonderful video and it's neat to hear Spielberg explain his love for it. This is definitely my own favorite movie.

[Igotangry]

@AllenbysEyes looking at his femine looking is enough for what he is, a homosexual faggot. I think it was not a without reason british dismissed him from army when they realized he joined army in a different name. zionist ugly homo.

[Igotangry]

lawrence is an faggot. he slept with faisal son and an arab boy called as dahoum. the pasha/bey he talked about gone bald at the age of 23, did not had brushy hair like lawrence stated. that great arabist was an also an ardent zionist, the telegarph and independent, martin gilbert says so.what a disgusting homo, liar

[abdiyaniman]

@Igotangry in order to state the alike weirdfreakery one must be 100 percent sure of it and have a 100 percent proof. If you have none, better shut up and hold your peace. Or it can be understood of such ill-sttitched craps to be made just out of the perspective of envy. Because the man really gained a great success and also was a blessing to the whole Arab nation.

[Igotangry]

@abdiyaniman no, daily telegraph has written it. he loved to be whipped by young boys when he was listening bethoven's romantic musics. whatever they tried to tell that s.a refers to sarah aaronsohn, it is pure that it refers to a boy called dahoum, lawrence was an absolute faggot, the faggot never had been in deraa in the time he mentions and teared the pages of that time that came into that he was infact had been in azrak those times. absolute faggot, absolute liar, a sharlatan

[Igotangry]

@abdiyaniman then today you have no right to cry about palestine, ıraq etc... oh do you really have a sense or are you a munafıq who is doing a taqiyye. you even would sold your mum for in sake of zionist british. oh sorry, I could not get it.

[abdiyaniman]

@Igotangry Who are you to instruct me on my rights?I see you are an ignorant fellow. You mix people with dirty politics.Dirty policy is dirty policy and an personal approach to a person is a PERSONAL affair. There are faithful and kafirs IN EVERY nation, not just Britain.I hope God Almighty, will help YOU to realise this some day, if you still have that reasonable attitude left in you. Peace be with you.

[jojojames1995]

beautiful movie

[Leonardoeditor37]

Why does Spielberg has to put his nose on everything, even about movies he has nothing to do about it?

Appart from that, Imagine how great it would be if Artificial Inteligence had been made by Stanley Kubrick, and if Impire of The Sun was made by David Lean?

[warriorprince1010]

@Leonardoeditor37 Spielberg is a great director and loves film. He has every right to his view, they are important.

[Leonardoeditor37]

@warriorprince1010 Most people would be surprised if was aware about how many people don't like his style. Ok, he has the right to talk about movies and like them or not just as everybody else. But, in my (and many people's) opinion his view about movies he had nothing to do with it, is not important for the filmakers who made the masterpieces which speaks for them selves.

[Zingerphile]

@Leonardoeditor37 he is not speaking as the director, he's speaking as a fan.

[harvie9999]

Totally agree w/ Steven: probably the greatest screenplay ever written!

[ConcreteSurfer420]

"it was a Miracle  That picture was"

[landenrud]

well spielberg u r a rapist of indiana jones...you dont put aliens in the friggin movie u dumbass!

[Iamnopicasso]

@landenrud That was Lucas, not Spielberg.

[warriorprince1010]

Steven and David are both brilliant. They tell a story with characters in, and it grabs the worlds attention.

[bazadata]

Can't wait to watch a re-make. Hey, do you think he could make Ringworld believable circa 1970 by Larry Niven?

[tomes55moon]

it annoys me that he'd 'rail' against anything which wasn't accurate about the holocaust but if it's in other areas of political/war history, which isn't about the suffering of jews...it's ok to make things up. Why is this?

[JordanPerrier]

@tomes55moon cause he's a jew?

[tomes55moon]

@JordanPerrier good point :-)

[nomibhai2]

@tomes55moon

same thoughts... I wonder WHY???

[tomes55moon]

@nomibhai2 yeah i believe it's because he's a jew im afraid, which is understandable. I still love him though ! genius filmmaker - wanna be him

[nomibhai2]

@tomes55moon

I know that too.. but that cannot be something which can justify this kind of thinking. Its OK to have a perspective of your own but what if u r presenting things on camera which will be viewed by million (most of who usually dont know the actual facts about it)... Can it be said that the movies which he directs will have a Jewish perspective?

Though I agree.. he is a great director.. u have to give that to him

[tomes55moon]

@nomibhai2 - i guess it's an individual jews perspective, but i think your right with the notion that he, and all storytellers, have some kind of responsibility to tell things truthfully, every time, and not pick and choose which areas of history deserve to be told accurately and which can be turned into fictitious fantasies.

[shawry86]

what a nice man

[pretzelberg]

I always liked Spielberg as a person. This stuff only backs up my opinion of him.

[spacepatrolman]

@pretzelberg spielburg is a murderer as a person he killed vic morrow and 2 children as a director the only thing he ever did that was any good was the night gallery episode and he tresspased on a movie lot to get the job and he had rod serling looking over his shoulder telling him what to do david lean is one of the immortals speilburg is going to hell .

[shire2005]

@spacepatrolman

You idiot Landis was the director of the Twighlight zone. He was responsible. Spielberg was the producer.

[spacepatrolman]

@shire2005 who are you calling an idiot im older than you spielburg was the producer hired those children off the books had them working late at night off hours against child labor laws spielburg and landis were both culpable [ i dont like useing the term culpable because robert culp was great and he was in roots2 and vic morrow was in roots 1] they movie biz kept speilburg out of trouble and covered up for him .

[botticelligal]

@pretzelberg Yeah, he seems really down-to-earth and not full of himself at all.

[alfriendo2008]

Paul Thomas Anderson is not quite in the same class as Lean and Spielberg but it's just a matter of time. For the moment however it's such a pleasure to hear Spielberg sincere remarks regarding his mentor.

[nergvol]

Spielberg and Lean, in a class of their own. 6 stars

[NeroBlack2200]

Simply amazing film.

[shire2005]

@NeroBlack2200

People love hyperbole when it comes to their fav films. Even moderately good films are called the best. This one can honestly be called the best film ever made and nobody can really argue.
