I lived in Toketo, Inner Mongolia for a few months, driving through the Loess Plateau every day,
Cross the Yellow River, walk to the edge of the Kubuqi Desert, and watch the sunset quietly.
The desert is like a lifeless sea, in my eyes it is lifeless.
But in the eyes of the British colonists, there was gold buried under the deserts of North Africa.
National liberation and imperialism are enemies
We call for national heroes, and at the same time lament the tragic end of national heroes.
And there is a kind of person, with a colonial heroic spirit in his heart,
He spared no effort to overcome all odds and went to the deserts of North Africa to help the Bedouin fight against foreign enemies.
Incidentally, expanding the sphere of influence of the British was called the earliest railway guerrilla.
The man was a British intelligence agent named Lawrence.
A person who can do such a thing must have a pair of big watery eyes,
As clear as the starlight in the dark night.
During the First World War, Turkey and Germany were allies,
North Africa has always been a British colony.
Thus, Britain and Turkey fought on the soil of North Africa.
In the end Turkey and Germany failed together, losing 70% of their territory.
The Bedouins sought national liberation and ended up being colonized.
The director deliberately added an ascetic march in the film to pay homage to Exodus,
Shows a sense of historical heaviness of the prophet leading the Jews to the Promised Land.
But know that from Egypt to Jerusalem,
But compared to driving from Beijing to Qinhuangdao today,
The only one day and one night ride through the desert in the movie is seen as a death march.
And more than ten years later, on Chinese soil,
There was also a rapid march on foot that raced against time, which was far more difficult than this time.
The war in the film is regarded as a horizontal game, and later films follow his shooting techniques.
In Star Wars, all the missiles of the righteous side are launched from the side of the screen,
It is said to be a tribute to the film.
It's a pity that even though the night is bright and the stars are sparse, the breeze blows over the dunes,
The fountain of national liberation cannot be found in the deserts of imperialism.
Profit-seeking Bedouin
Speaking of Bedouin, the most familiar one is Gaddafi.
These Bedouin railway guerrillas who followed the British to rob the train never thought of it,
His own descendants produced a US-backed dictator,
With oil, education is free and housing is free.
Visited the United Nations, gushed at the General Assembly, and got killed by the Americans.
It is said that the overthrow of Gaddafi only relied on dozens of free wifi in the square.
These people are also very foolish.
In fact, the Bedouin in the film was vilified,
Like killing someone for fighting over a well,
To listen to the protagonist because of money,
The characteristics of Bedouin bravery and righteousness are shown in the film,
However, the constant quarrel and the state of ignorance also permeated the whole film.
The Bedouin have lived on camels since ancient times and lived by water and grass.
Speaking of the main source of income, the first is to be a guide, the second is to collect tolls, and the third is to sell camels.
It can be said that the Bedouin were born mercenaries.
Of course, the Middle East is similar.
The Iraqi garrison commander gave up resistance for only $2 million.
Let the U.S. military drive straight into Baghdad, making Saddam almost reimbursed in advance.
At first, Turkey got a lot of German equipment, including aircraft and tanks,
Britain was losing ground and had to count on the Bedouins.
Bedouin equipment is very poor, an average of five people have a gun,
Still stuck at the level of horse slashing,
And there are not many people, basically only a few hundred people can be launched.
At first, the military advisors sent by the British were not very smart because they did not understand guerrilla warfare.
Lawrence, the originator of the raiding war, made a lot of money by frying the railroad tracks.
However, in order to expand the victory, he disguised himself as a woman and went deep behind the enemy to spy on the military situation, but was discovered by the defenders.
After this incident, Lawrence also learned to be good, and learned to intersperse and raid big cities,
He crossed the desert and built a port, but because he couldn't manage a big city,
When the British executives understood, Lawrence was already a local warlord with a firm foothold.
There is a great tendency to be self-reliant.
The British also did not want to see an independent Bedouin regime, so they quickly recalled Lawrence to the country.
007's story
So what's the story?
This is a 007 who almost became a soil emperor.
The blond and blue-eyed children of British families always want to make achievements,
A handsome gentleman is just a vase who doesn't even dare to kill.
Can't shoot, doesn't kill a single person throughout.
Unreasonable, never explained after being misunderstood by others, but insisted on going his own way.
Not close to women, all the women in the movie have no lines and no close-ups,
It can be said that it is a movie that makes women go away.
There are no sports cars, only camels.
No suits and leather shoes, only dirty robes after the fight.
There are no resourceful assistants, just little followers who are obsessed with asking for more money.
But he can fight guerrilla warfare, and he is also very strategic. He can bring two cavalry troops to conquer big cities, and he really uses cavalry as tanks, and engages in large and deep interspersed.
It's a pity that his boss doesn't care about that, he wants to be a leader,
And his own three views can not guide him to do some useful things.
Lawrence is an idealist.
An Englishman who was beaten and was about to go home,
Take two gangs of bandits who only accept gold coins but not banknotes to attack the big city,
As a result, the bandits will not manage the infighting in the big city,
I ran back to England in despair but became a hero,
Many people want to learn from him, so there is the tomb of the empire.
After Lawrence's death, his book The Seven Pillars of Wisdom was published.
It reads: He has written his will among the stars.
Lawrence left, but American and Russian agents are still on the ground in the Middle East,
All of these people wanted to learn from Lawrence.
It's just that the times are different, find a nerd with a middle school illness and go to the Middle East,
It is better to support a proxy, such as Saddam Laden or something.
These ancestors are the red n-generations of the imperial soldiers, and they are not easier to control than foreigners.
Seemingly blond, blue-eyed, red and professional, he accidentally became Snowden.
