Jon and I have decided to educate ourselves by watching famous movies we haven't seen yet. We're starting with Lawrence of Arabia. Jon liked it, but I didn't get it. It was just some egotistical guy going bat-shit insane as he lead armies. Later I read some papers written on it, so maybe I understand it more. Lawrence saw a problem and wanted to fix it, he wanted to create something great (a united, self-ruling Arabia). He was very egotistical, and his ego was fed by early victories. But in the end he proved to be only human, like the rest of us, and failed. He did go bat-shit insane though. That part was obvious.
