This one isn&#8217;t about pain. Not at all. It&#8217;s about perfection. This one is about the fire that burns inside each of us. Well, maybe there&#8217;s a little pain.

In a film rife with extraordinary storytelling and wisdom, it remains my favourite. In hindsight perhaps it&#8217;s the spiritual undertone of Lawrence&#8217;s statement that&#8217;s always intrigued me most because, of course, Lawrence isn&#8217;t only talking about physical pain here. There&#8217;s plenty [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.MyMuseMoviesMusicAndBooks.com/2010/07/21/the-trick-is-not-minding-that-it-hurts-lawrence-of-arabia/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>2</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Jason Bourne and identity — who am I?</title><link>http://www.MyMuseMoviesMusicAndBooks.com/2010/05/30/jason-bourne-and-identity-who-am-i/</link> <comments>http://www.MyMuseMoviesMusicAndBooks.com/2010/05/30/jason-bourne-and-identity-who-am-i/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 30 May 2010 14:00:57 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Patrick</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Action]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Books]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Fiction]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Insight]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Literary]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Movies]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Spy]]></category> <category><![CDATA[being]]></category> <category><![CDATA[goodness]]></category> <category><![CDATA[identity]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Jason Bourne]]></category> <category><![CDATA[love]]></category> <category><![CDATA[memories]]></category> <category><![CDATA[mercy]]></category> <category><![CDATA[redemption]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Robert Ludlum]]></category> <category><![CDATA[The Bourne Identity]]></category> <category><![CDATA[who am i?]]></category><guid

In a veritable symphony of cinematic elements &#8212; cinematography, script, production design, soundtrack, direction, acting &#8212; it doesn&#8217;t miss a note.
