Lawrence of Arabia is a sweeping epic that still manages to be a character study of the entirely unique and compelling T.E. Lawrence.
Notwithstanding the writing of Robert Bolt and the performance by Peter O'Toole (was there ever a better break-out role?), David Lean's direction is what moves this movie into the realm of greatness. In the following scene we see Lean's economy with the camera in capturing and framing Lawrence (O'Toole) and Prince Feisal's (Alec Guiness) pivotal conversation that underlines the major themes of the film and sends Lawrence off to find Feisal's "miracle".
If you haven't seen it, go out and rent this movie!

yes our addiction to oil has had some strange consequences- in those places like texas and arabia where it has generated great wealth, the wealth has hindered people having to adapt including clinging to intolerant forms of religion
