nothing is doomed

For this film, I have heard the name for a long time. I didn't have the courage to watch it until today. After the feature film started, I was constantly amazed at the use of the director's lens. The endless desert flows with the wind, and the black rocks next to it are silently accompanied. In the distance, there is a wind column leading to the sky, and the sun is high above. Only with the blessing of God can we find an oasis of life. As an old film shot in 1962, the composition, lines, plot, and performance have all reached a level of near perfection, not to mention that Lawrence's own experience is very legendary.

While the length may seem scary, once you start the film, trust me, you'll be praying that this fantastical journey can be a little longer. Lawrence stuck to his ideals from start to finish, and finally handed Damascus into the hands of the Arabs. Difficult to hand over, even more difficult to manage. However, the Arab princes and the British government can't wait to carve up the Turks' political heritage. Lawrence has become a symbolic figure, and his political views do not belong to any party, and it is inevitable to be marginalized.

If you look at this film in detail, you will feel a lot. Just like the officer who rushed out of the negotiation scene, this situation can be remembered, but it was already lost at the time.

Lawrence of Arabia quotes

  • Sherif Ali: I do not understand this. Your father's name is Chapman...

    T.E. Lawrence: Ali, he didn't marry my mother.

    Sherif Ali: I see.

    T.E. Lawrence: I'm sorry.

    Sherif Ali: It seems to me that you are free to choose your own name, then.

  • Mr. Dryden: Well. It seems we're to have a British waterworks with an Arab flag on it. Do you think it was worth it?

    General Allenby: Not my business. Thank God I'm a soldier.

    Mr. Dryden: Yes, sir. So you keep saying.
