The trick, William Potter, is not minding that it hurts.

Ten Lawrence of Arabia icons in honour of the film's fiftieth anniversary.

These are gorgeous.
LoA is one of those films that makes me misty-eyed weak and at the knees just to think about it.
It makes me very happy to know that there are others who love it as much as it deserves :)

I ABSOLUTELY 100% SHARE YOUR LOA FEELS

ALSO IF THEY DO END UP SHOWING LOA AT THE IMAX IN LONDON THIS AUTUMN

WANT TO GO DOWN ON THE OXFORD TUBE AND SEE IT? :D

[rachel2205]

YES YES YES

I keep googling about the potential release in November but no cinemas are showing info about it yet... I NEED TO SEE ITTTTT

[teh_elb]

It'll be the BFI IMAX I think - last thing I saw was that they're gunning for it but it's not confirmed yet.

IT WOULD BE THE MOST AMAZING

PS I was thinking about you the other day and wondering how you are because you haven't posted in AGES!

I need to rewatch LoA, I was very much enjoying a bit of 40s David Lean not so long ago...

Argh I love this film. Not in the way you do, with the connection to the land of your birth, but it's been one of my favourite films since first I saw it. It's, well, one of those that made a connection with a world I had almost no knowledge of, being neither British nor Arabian (oh really) nor knowing much about the era of history (I was like fifteen when I first saw it, maybe?). But yeah. I appreciate your icons!

And I just realised I didn't really finish that comment - erm, what I mean to say is that despite my lack of setting knowledge, it got into my core in a way. It made me care, brought the place to my heart. It's a hallmark of good, in my books!
