Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this is a lavish and gripping movie, beautifully filmed, that commands your attention despite a length of nearly four hours, and a complex lead character. Although tame by modern standards, the battle scenes are still powerful, and could frighten some kids. Because of its complexity and length, this isn't a movie for young children. Mature teens will appreciate this gorgeous production.

Sexual Content

Not applicable

Violence

Several of the battle scenes are intended to horrify viewers with the brutality of war. Lawrence is raped by Turkish captors in a scene that will appear to those unfamiliar with his life that he's merely being beaten.

Language

Not applicable

Social Behavior

Despite some vagueness about the historical background of the events depicted, the movie does inspire some understanding of and respect for Arab cultures.

Consumerism
