I saw this movie when I was a kid like 53 years ago. My folks took me to see it at the cinema. I never forgot it and have since watched it many many times over the years, such a great movie. Peter O'toole's performance with Omar's was fantastic. The days or real stunt mean and real action. No amount of cgi can be made to look and feel real. LOL and no, I'm not some crazy anti computer anti cgi pensioner LOL (I work as an freelance editor LOL) but we we all know this even with the best supercomputers running the best software; there is something really organic about such movies as this and it's called real sfx LOL.

I know Gregory Peck was excellent in To Kill a Mocking Bird but it was a travesty that Peter O'Toole wasn't awarded the Oscar because his performance in this was one of the greatest acting performances of all time- would easily be in the top 10 with no argument, with a strong case for No. 1.

@MrBrachiatingApe Ай бұрын

This is the first truly great movie that I saw and appreciated for what it was. Much of that appreciation came from O'Toole's performance - watching him act as Lawrence was and is riveting, as much the 20th time I've watched this as the first.

I hate people who accuse O’Toole of “overacting” this part. Lawrence was written to be larger than life; the role is almost inherently Shakespearean in the script. He needed to be portrayed by an actor with massive presence, which O’Toole was. I agree that his performance ranks in the top 10 of all time, by a mile.

@steiner554 Ай бұрын

Back when they still made great movies.

@jamesdrynan Ай бұрын

Although O'Toole was a noted Shakespearean actor and had done some TV and film work, it was this epic picture that brought him world attention. Rightly so. Lean's masterwork here will thankfully survive, through restoration and loving care. This and 2001 are a testament to how movies were made before computers and CGI.

i was thinking the same.watching o toole and sharif here its hard to believe that they were relative novices in movies.they both of course became superstars but its incredible that they appear to be so in this movie.apart from sean connery in dr no for different reasons i cant recall actors who had such star prescence in their debut starring roles.o toole simply gives an uneqaulled performance.he has such screen power that he defines the role.so great is he that he becomes lawrence.nobody ever quibbles that the real man was physically nothing like him its irrelevant such is the greatness pf o toole.

"You're an ignorant man." That is a ballsy thing to say. And he's right. Ali could read and write, but he had no sense of context.

@12classics39 Ай бұрын

True. It’s rather irrational of Ali to be upset that Lawrence is going to Cairo, when Lawrence is right: the only way to keep things moving is for the overseeing officials to be aware of the situation. I think Ali’s reaction shows how his relationship with Lawrence is quickly becoming very personal. He sees Lawrence’s quick abandonment of Aqaba as a personal rejection; the fact that he himself gave Lawrence the robes makes him more afraid that Lawrence will just forget about him when he leaves. Lawrence’s response isn’t just about Ali’s lack of context but about what Ali is implying; “you’re an ignorant man if you actually believe I would ever cast you aside like that.”

@dclark142002 Ай бұрын

I would also point out that Lawrence is being ignorant here as well. Ali is right that if the only way the Arabs are to be taken seriously is through Lawrence putting on trousers and forgetting...than the Arabs will never be taken seriously. A point which becomes crystal clear to Lawrence by the end of the film.

The Technicolor Super Cinemascope re-release to theaters in a limited run was in 1989 at 216 minutes. I saw it in a cinema then. The original was from 1962. If Technicolor new prints of any film are ever made and screened again, you MUST go see it in a theater. So much better than modern tech it is tragic.

Lawrence offers to execute a member of the Harith clan for killing a member of the Howeitat clan to prevent a blood feud between the clans so that they can carry out the attack on Aqaba. However he is distraught to see that the offender is the person that he rescues when got left behind while crossing the desert. The offender accepts to die in the hands of the person who saves his life.

You know the execution is portraid rather accurately in the movie. According to Peter O' Toole, he had a conversation with a tribesman that was there when it happened. The man that was executed was dumped on a well and Lawrence shot numerous times because he kept on missing him. After that he went for a walk and disappeared for hours. That tribesman went out to look for him and found him behind a rock, crouched in a pseudo-fetal position in, and I'm quoting Peter : "...in a terrible state of emotion.". This I believe is the begining of Lawrence's downfall. Forced to carry out an execution in order to appease the Arab tribes and try to maintain some sort of union between them.

The ride into Aqaba was filmed in Spain. They built the entire town, used real horses, and imported real camels. The fakery is that they didn't cross the Nefud. They went around it. Anthony Quinn may have been a fake Arab, but he was dashed impressive.

That beach scene isn't even subtle about the turn that Ali and Lawrence's relationship is taking. The sunset, the waves, the FLOWERS, the exchange of smiles … I mean come on! More romantic than any moment in modern-day romance films. (go read about David Lean's intentions for this film's subtext if you think I'm crazy.)

I've watched that scene a dozen times and never even got the hint it had homosexual undertones. In other words, your interpretation says much more about you than the scene. You're most probably homosexual or suppressing your own homosexuality.

@@andreyandreiko8553David Lean said himself in an interview with the Washington Post in 1989: As to the suggestion that the film is pervasively homoerotic, [Lean] says: "Yes. Of course it is. Throughout. I'll never forget standing there in the desert once, with some of these tough Arab buggers, some of the toughest we had, and I suddenly thought, 'He's making eyes at me!' And he was! "So it does pervade it, the whole story, and certainly Lawrence was very if not entirely homosexual. We thought we were being very daring at the time: Lawrence and Omar, Lawrence and the Arab boys."
