Lawrence and Che Guevara

The character of Lawrence reminds me of Che Guevara, who also pursues perfection, is idealistic, takes risks, hopes to liberate the oppressed and establish a new country. The difference is that Lawrence is a humanitarian, while Che Guevara is ruthless and ruthless to the enemy, revolution, violence, bloodshed, sacrifice, and ultimately he himself gave his life for the revolution. And Lawrence is a bit like Chu Liuxiang, elegant violence, minimal violence to achieve the goal. But both idealists failed in the end.

Suddenly I thought, did Gu Long have seen the movie "Lawrence of Arabia", so he has some shadows in "Chu Liuxiang"?

Damascus, this "garden on earth", "heaven on earth", "city of roses", the urban water supply and drainage system left in the 12th century is still the basis of the urban water system in the old city, which is a miracle. This paradise-like city has experienced the changes of many Eastern and Western empires. Today, the Syrian capital is reeling from the civil war, and the country is riddled with grief.

From the Syrian civil war, it can also be seen that the Arab region has always been full of contradictions. Even if there is a common belief, it is impossible to achieve the unity of people's hearts, just because of the existence of national interests. Blue Turkey remains a less friendly Arab neighbor. And the world powers are coveting the fast-fat meat of the Middle East, and they don't want to fall into the mouths of others.

The desert in the movie is incomparably magnificent and dangerous everywhere, but Lawrence is like a spring breeze. Hua Wuque's sense of sight in "Peerless Double Pride". It really is an epic.

Epics like Chinese movies are really hard to come up with.

Those legends of SM etc. are no longer relevant.

By the way, the attack on the train reminded me of Westerns. Very not "Railway Guerrilla".

Lawrence of Arabia quotes

  • Bartender: [Lawrence enters the British officers' club with a Bedouin companion after capturing Aqaba, both men utterly exhausted and disheveled, and wearing Arab clothing] This is a bar for British officers!

    T.E. Lawrence: That's all right. We're not particular.

  • T.E. Lawrence: A thousand Arabs means a thousand knives, delivered anywhere day or night. It means a thousand camels. That means a thousand packs of high explosives and a thousand crack rifles. We can cross Arabia while Johnny Turk is still turning round, and smash his railways. And while he's mending them, I'll smash them somewhere else. In thirteen weeks, I can have Arabia in chaos.
