Lawrence, who had just arrived in Arabia, was told that his mission was not to give military advice to Arab princes because of his non-military background. At the beginning of the period, he also acted like a little white-collar worker who followed his middle-level leaders to report to the company's big boss, obediently not saying a word, even though he had already labeled the suggestions of the middle-level leaders as stupid. However, when the prince asked to hear his thoughts, he boldly seized the opportunity to clarify his views to the real decision-makers, which not only fit the prince's mind but also conformed to the characteristics of the Arab war. He believed that man will conquer the sky, and with the help of God, he achieved a miracle. He crossed the endless desert of death, which is the kind of hot and hot desert that goes forward no matter which direction he went. He killed the enemy's back and let him Fight to fame. It makes Lawrence, the bastard son of a British nobleman, an adventurous practitioner, who seems to have found his own mission and dignity as a human being. As a relatively pure person, he thought too simplistically about leading Arab brothers to seek independence and freedom. The wrestling of various forces in the Arab region and the contradictions between the Arab nations led him to finally lose his support and always support him. belief. The one-man hero fell to the other side of humanity and became a bloodthirsty slayer. Therefore, the movie does not portray us a hero as defined in our cognition, but presents a real hero, a hero with both positive and negative sides, and he is a relatively pure character, which may be most walking The reason why mortals in the grey area are not given the roots of legendary life. This life is to be a person who is charged with a firm belief, no matter whether the belief is worth holding on, or a speculative egoist who can grasp any belief at the right time. I think the lives of most people on the surface are in the two. Stumbling and bumping in between.
