i’ve seen it and it is very long

No one has actually sat through the entirety of Lawrence of Arabia. The first film critic to watch it got halfway through it, found it to be a slow boring slog, then gave it a stellar review to hide the fact that they never finished it like they were supposed to.

Every subsequent reviewer also got maybe halfway through it and just agreed with the first guy to not look like an idiot and retain their status as a reputable film critic. That kept happening for about 60 years and now it probably has over a 90% rotten tomatoes ranking despite no one in history ever having watched the complete show.

There are rumors of a pair of roommates where the first one turned it on and fell asleep after a couple of hours, then the second one sat down somewhere in the middle and saw the ending, and between the two of them they could piece the whole thing together, but no one has ever seen both of them in the same room at the same time and the story is largely regarded as an urban myth.
