Dare I say a perfect movie?

It has become one of my favorite movies.

This film gets increasingly intriguing, the more often you watch it. One fun fact: The motorcyclist shouting "Who are you" was dubbed by David Lean - the director - himself. Can't get any more symbolic.

My favorite movie! Good catch on the fact that he even says "Me" when signing the letter for Auda. I can't pick a favorite scene either. But I _think_ my favorite line is near the end when Ali says, "If I fear him who love him, how must he fear himself who hates himself?" Chills every time.

Good analysis! This movie is a favorite of mine; the desert is quite an underrated expressionistic landscape. Dropping you a like.

You, sir, are the only person that, too, has independently concluded as I had. The depth of this film is boundless. Anybody watching superficially will fail to take anything away from it. This film challenged and changed me, and for that, I am forever indebted.

Stunning movie, greatest ever made.i watched it as a kid in high school on TV.So many great themes,I believe the overriding theme is a man can get so caught up in his purpose,he starts to believe his own lies,and is forced to come to grips with his own humanity.Like bridge on the river kwai, the British officer building the bridge is so caught up in building a great bridge he doesn't realize he is aiding the enemy,until the end of the movie.lawrence is so caught up in trying to help free the Arabs from the Turks,he doesn't realize the British and French just want to drive out the Turks so they can come in take over themselves

Lawrence of Arabia was, I think, a name given to him by Lowell Thomas, on whom the Arthur Kennedy character is based.

I watched this as a kid and didn't like it, but I don't remember the movie at all or why. Maybe I'll try again.

Auda Abu Tayi makes a joke about himself possibly being a bastard-and in a screenplay like this, a joke is never just a joke. About his own viciousness, “My mother mated with a scorpion.” I think the idea there is he (and his name) is entirely his own creation based on his actions.

Auda says: "Thy mother mated with a scorpion", and yes, you are totally right, in this screenplay, there is not a single sentence without a deeper meaning. As is the exchange between Ali and Auda about bastard children.

@@blitzschnitz2032 Did he really say “thy” not “my”? If so it even furthers the idea that Lawrence doesn’t have a “patriarchal” identity
