The Yakuza - Promises To Keep

David Lean

My love for David Lean comes from my mother and her love for Doctor Zhivago. I can't tell you how many times I watched that movie or parts of it growing up. And I always realized this was a great film.

I then remember her one day having me watch Bridge on the River Kwai. Another epic film. And this lead me to discovering Lawrence of Arabia on my own. I believe it was a day when my mom was asleep, and I realized this film was coming on TV. It sucked me in completely.
