This is the full 3hr 46 min version of Mr. David Lean's epic production of Lawrence of Arabia Won Best Picture, Best Director and Best actor (Peter O'Toole) along with other Oscars at the Academy awards.

converted from a WEBDL x265 format source file to exact same size file with same res and bitrates for audio and video to H.264 as it runs at normal speed while x265 or HEVC requires much more processing power to run normally despite being of no benefit in size efficiency or whatever I would say from experience thus far.

3840 X 1744 video res @approx 6,000k video bitrate
Audio files for English French and Italian were  from bluray disc sources @640k 6ch Dolby AC3 along with a chapters file from bluray disc import, and most subs here converted from sup files from bluray disc. many subs included 

This is mainly a poor display of the beginnings of civil societal ideas of the more modern genre around some parts of the Arabian desert locales and surrounding parts I gather. Hollywood never did do the Arabs much justice in this regards, I'm not even referring to Peter O'Tooles character making the comment in this movie that he thought in a moment of dismay at seeing an arab man executed for drawing water from a well owned by a different tribe, he described such a culture as that of  "a small people, a silly people - greedy barbarous and cruel!" In fact by the end of the movie he decides "I do not wish any Arab friends at all!" - his experiment in assimilating amongs't them albeit as supreme leader - a dismal failure to his in his own mind and to his own spirit ultimately. 

I have to protest in this regards, given my own experience with some of the greatest, nicest warmest and most civil and downright truly most caring folks I've met along the way have been from Lebanon and maybe one or two even from Palestine and elsewhere around the region too, certainly I say. We surely shouldn't lump all together despite different merits in this regard  with respect of the issues raised in this movie and in everyday viewing. Having misguided ideas which taint all could again result in needless and costly wars that lack fundamental justice when the wrong folks are also targeted in what is included for such acts of aggression it seems, against folks in the broader area I would suppose.

enjoy this great classic and please seed
