Looking at it now, the perception is different again.
First of all, the big screen appreciates the charm of on-site photography. The exquisite presentation of wind, sand, sky, light and shadow cannot be replaced by computer special effects.
The second is the many Christian images inside, the "pillar of fire" Lawrence saw when he crossed the Sinai Peninsula like Moses, and the so-called "walking on water." He meditated in the desert about his plan to attack Aqaba all night, reminiscent of the legend that Jesus was tried in the desert. In addition, the colonel’s contemplative figure with his back hand really looks like a leader...
The third is Lawrence’s narcissism and sensitivity. The boyhood who only understood personal heroism could not notice this, and did not understand why he was arrested once. It would make him so discouraged. Precisely because of this, when he gritted his teeth and shouted "Don't take prisoners", the tragic sense of the saint's depravity was particularly painful. People who were once shaken even to kill one person have finally become revenge angels and hell butchers.
The fourth is the scene of bandit tribes singing and reconciliation with their wives scattered on the cliff during the march. A strange custom mixed with cruelty and tenderness, it is difficult to be judged by a single morality, and it is impressive. .
Finally, the British who love the desert are adventurers, and the local people who love the oasis truly understand their needs, and only they can set a timetable for themselves. In the face of their perseverance, all foreigners are passers-by.
Finally, watch this movie again. Are the black and white duo of Lawrence and Ali not the predecessors of King Baldwin and Saladin in "The Kingdom of Heaven"? Isn't the part of the well murdered exactly the same? Think again about the tribute in "Prometheus." "Scott of Arabia" is the real fan of this film!
