After watching this film and then going to the film review, I have an instinctive perception of myself. A film can have countless understandings, as long as you believe it. I have always believed that the conquest of Aqaba or Damascus is for the ultimate goal: to civilize this stupid, barbaric people. It is a pity that in the process of realizing civilization, Lawrence had to do things that went against his heart. He killed people, and he almost didn't kill them. On the way north, he finally decided not to do it anymore. This is the way to realize his dream. The retreat is also a kind of rest. In the end, he still tried to change, and his unwilling efforts made him revive and attack Damascus, but in the face of the operation of a new city, he was powerless. This is not something a genius leader can do, and ignorance to civilization is not overnight. The electricity was not supplied and the water was cut off, and he realized that all this could not be done, and he lost.
Think about it, the film probably focuses on the collision of ignorance and civilization, which is blunt and painful but has to be. After watching the film, the only thing I want to understand is, in the process of Lawrence's efforts to realize it, is there a hidden selfishness, or is it really pure freedom of belief?
