i saw this film at school and absolutely love it . base on a true story and this be an absolutely splendid masterpiece of a film . seriously and i couldn not find anything wrong with it . one definite plus be how it be film . set in morrocco in 1904 and the wind and the lion be fill with stir image like the great raisuli on horseback especially . the cinematography be faultless and the editing be crisp and the costume be gorgeous and the scenery be breathtaking . and i have to mention the music from jerry goldsmith and it be phenomenal . i have use this phrase a lot recently and but goldsmith ain not my favourite film composer for nothing . his score here be so rousing and exciting and it show the man true musical genius and and this gem of a score should be up there with goldsmith best score with legend and rambo representfirst blood and patton and the secret of nimh . the action be exhilarate and the screenplay be intelligent and sophisticated . the direction be sensitively handle too . the performance be astound as well and with sean connery and ever the picture of charisma and suavity and magnificent a the great raisuli and he almost dominate the entire picture on his own . he be join by a feisty candice bergen and a wily john huston and a captivating brian keith in one of his more understated performance . the history be fairly accurate and perhaps flimsy in some area and but with the acting and music and visuals so good i be past caring . positive bethany cox .
