"Lawrence of Arabia" Critique

Lawrence of Arabia was a good movie, However this is not about the movie but about the cinematography. The color scheme from the movie was mostly yellow, This helped to give the movie the effect of wandering a desert. Then The fact that the camera was always moving from left to right gave the movie a feel of progression. This was helped by psychology in the western world because we are used to reading from left to right. Another interesting thing about the movie was the costumes. The Costumes are supposed to look like historical figures from that time period. This was actually considered to be very true by many of the people who were reviewing the movie. The location of the camera for the fight scenes being shot from the bottom was a really good effect to give it a feel of pride and honor for the combatants.In the end the movie was very interesting.
