Allah means God. Islam has a common ancestry with Christianity and Judaism and their are lots of commonalities between them

2023-12-12 23:06:58 +0000 UTCJust finished watching your reaction, so glad you appreciated the film. On accuracy, it's about as accurate as a biopic gets...which is to say, it's about 85% on. It follows "Seven Pillars of Wisdom" very closely, which is Lawrence's own memoirs. It's a little off on the depiction of the Arab warriors (many were uniformed, disciplined soldiers..and Faisal was far more cosmopolitan than in the film). That, and the Arab council remained in power for a few years, rather than falling apart after a few weeks. But the events in the movie are pretty close to reality, including the "no prisoners!" scene, the crossing of the Nefud desert, and Lawrence's death.

2023-12-12 00:39:22 +0000 UTCYou are correct. This is absolutely the greatest film ever made. Based on the real events of T. E. Lawrence during his exploits in Arabia. This is a filmmaker's film.

2023-12-11 22:34:45 +0000 UTCThank you. I'd included this in a few past months (I've always given them options to choose from) but this time I sort of forced the selection. It's always been one of my favorite films (enough that I did a study on it for one of my degrees) and, for my money, sits as the greatest film ever made. I could have easily recommended a few other David Lean movies, but, in the end, had to go with the big one. (although I haven't been 'young lady' for quite some time)

Sorry I didn't give a choice this time, but simply had to include this! :) Although I'm noticing the runtime is a touch shorter than the movie itself...I'm going to assume they've cut out a 'reaction' to the intermission...heh
