    > To be filming for months in the desert - with 65mm cameras, at that - couldn't have been an easy thing. But it turned out to be such a magnificent film - nowadays they'd just shoot in a soundstage with green-screen and add CGI effects in the background. :P

     

    That's what makes it so authentic.

  2. I don't like the fact that it was done in such a documentary style way. Frankly it bores me half the time. And also how, for lack of a better word, "different" it is. Compared to practically every film of its day, it's very unorthodox, and that's what I don't want to see in a classic film. I sure do have respect for it, but as you said, is very overrated.

     

    It also doesn't have enough of anything in it. Not enough comedy, drama, romance, or suspense...it pretty much makes it's own genre!

  3. Yes, it was a good intro. And also he brought up how committed you had to be to work with David Lean. That's why Finney turned it down, and I believe Brando for the same reason. Even when it came to Doctor Zhivago, Rod Steiger was on the set for 12 months! But, in the end, it all payed off with each film, and as you can see, with this one, everybody worked their heart out.
