Why The Latest Remastered Version Of Lawrence of Arabia Is So Stunning
While many movies from the early to mid-2000’s which were shot with 1080p digital video cameras will remain 1080p in their resolution no matter how much technology advances, older films shot in 35mm and 65 mm film can actually be digitized to extraordinarily sharp 4K, 8K and even 12K digital resolutions. This is the case because the actual native resolution of these film reels goes far beyond the limits of normal Full HD digital film and while the display technologies that existed throughout decades of film reel movie production never allowed audiences to truly appreciate the full detail and sharpness of those reel movies in 35mm and 65mm film, modern technology is finally catching up with the past in some spectacular ways.

The Real T.E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia)
One of the explanations for the interest in Lawrence is the controversy that has surrounded him. For the playwright George Bernard Shaw, writing in 1927, Lawrence was among those uncommon “persons who have reached the human limit of literary genius and…who have packed into the forepart of their lives an adventure of epic bulk and intensity.” Yet the Oxford historian Hugh Trevor Roper, writing 50 years later, dismisses Lawrence rather harshly as “one of the least attractive” of the twentieth century’s “charlatans, frauds, and fantasists.”
