My uncle is named Lawrence after TE Lawrence, since my great-grandfather was Syriac/Lebanese and our family used to control a couple of villages in Turkey, Lebanon, and Syria back then. My great-grandfather actually befriended TE Lawrence and my grandfather named his first son (my eldest uncle on my fathers side) after him. I wish I knew more of the story, and more details of my family's history from back then, but my grandfather passed when I was still young, and my uncles don't know all the details of the story either. My great-grandfather was notoriously straightforward and didn't like to talk a lot, and when he did he spoke modestly.

I had similar 1st viewing exp.: @St.James cinema, Castlereagh St Syd. Aug 1971! My young brother & elderly mother were muttering in anguished boredom about the lengthened of the film & awaiting impatiently for the impending intermission; whereas I too had fallen in love. As an introverted 14yr old, I totally identified with the Lawrence psychological make-up. 54yrs later I still deem it the best movie ever made, David Leans' best. Re the blood-lust evinced by Lawrence though, I believe the show of joy as he leads his Arabs on camel-back is not blood-lust, but a camaraderie that T.E. wrote of in Seven Pillars of Wisdom. Lawrences' hatred of violence is expressed in the post-battle scene when Sherif Ali approaches Lawrence gazing manically at his own bloodied reflection in his dagger. As for O'toole...arguably his finest performance in film. Maurice Jarres' film score makes an enormous contribution to the success of the film. But the greatest honour must be accorded to director David Lean. This film made me fall in love with film-making.

[@Last555555555]

Joshua .Perez When the British and French ended World War 1, they had promised the Middle East to the arab rebels to create a united Arabian nation. When the war ended however, they just divided the territory between the two nations. Then when World War 2 ended, they gave Palestine to the jews, disregarding the arabs that lived there and what they wanted, and seeing how the Israelis are now taking land from palestinians to settle more israelis, it's no wonder why the Palestinians are mad. As for the rest, when Britain and France pulled out, they basically created countries, disregarding ethnic, cultural, religious, or really any kind of boundaries. They just drew random lines in the sand and arbitrarily called a plot of land Iraq, and another Syria, and so forth. Iraq, for example, has a large Sunni population in its borders, but has a Shiite dominated government because of the large density of Shiites in the capital area, which causes conflicts between the two, not to mention the Kurds in the north who want to break away entirely. The Syrians are fighting right now because some wanted more freedoms but their dictator wouldn't allow it and the ensuing power vacuum allowed for terrorist groups to take power on all sides. As for why the terrorists themselves tend to be popular, it falls back to the hatred of Westernization that many have because of the treatment of the arabs, first by the Ottomans who had taken them over, then by the British and French who generally didn't keep their word when they made promises to the arab populations, and then when the US started getting involved in the Middle East, starting with a coup in Iran in 1953 and doing anything and everything in its power to keep control of the oil in the Middle East.

Well, they did get Omar Sharif, a native of Egypt who was a big star there and had been making Arabic-language movies for some time. Guinness was great in the role. Just sayin'. In those days, they weren't as fanatical about the accuracy of details as now, so Guinness had no coaching in the accent an Arabic speaker would have when speaking English. Instead, Guinness got Sharif to talk to him for a couple of hours, and then mimicked Sharif. O'Toole had nicknamed Sharif "Fred."

[@mikeforester3963]

+jigilo I'd like to see that, although it would be rather short because the film (better yet, the TV miniseries!) and the novel it's based on are _very_ accurate. Why ? Lothar Günther Buchheim, the author, _actually was_ a war reporter on _U96_ (depicted as "Lt. Werner"). He and U-96 commander stayed in touch after the war and were friends until Lehmann-Willenbrock passed in 1986. The few things the perfectionistic Buchheim ranted about the film adaption was 1) the actors playing the non-coms and sailors were too old (in reality those were often 19-20 y/o boys !), 2) that "Josephine Baker- style" dancing scene in the film/series _would've never taken place_ on a German submarine and neither in any branch of the Army. That's why the 3 part miniseries "Das Boot" is pretty much the best WW II picture out there.

[@veljkostevanovic7597]

+jigilo I would really like to know whether the Gibraltar dash, getting sunk to the bottom but than miraculously repairing the sub and resurfacing really took place or were just creative licenses. I know for a fact that the ending (getting sunk in the harbor with half the crew killed) was (probably added to add symbolism on the whole Nazi Germany in the war. Bit too much anti-Nazism in the movie also I'd say (probably to fulfill political standards requirements for filming). Also as explained in the wiki - a single bolt of the pressure hull under pressure giving way would start the runaway reaction resulting in total collapse of the whole hull in a matter of seconds akin a bubble burst, so that is just Hollywood-like crap. Also the crew shouting when submerged and under attack was nonsense as turning stealthy was by far the best way out of trouble yet the entire crew knew very well that the sound was the main enemy's means to detect the sub.

[@mikeforester3963]

Veljko Stevanovic If I may jump in here. All major plot scenes are adaptions from Buchheim's novel. Buchheim himself made the U-96 journey up until Vigo/Spain where he left the crew (he was a war reporter after all). So the rest of the plot might be a melange of several reports of other submarine crews. Buchheim had no love for the High Command of the submarine fleet (the "BDU"). Many years later when "Das Boot" became a hit he recorded an interview in which he was appalled about the rate of casualties and conditions inside a Typ VII submarine for the boys that literally were barely 18 at times. So his ending of the novel "Das Boot" (1st of a two novel set, 2nd being "Die Festung") is a vivid depiction of how the submarine fleet was outnumbered and outgunned (by R.A.F.) and how futile and frustrating this fight was -- going through all that struggle just to simply get bombed out on the finishing line. Yea, and they had to put in the "anti-Nazi" criticism but many cynical lines were common in the Wehrmacht, a.k.a. "Landser Jargon". "Shouting crew": yes, that was a point Buchheim criticised on the film adaptation. As well as the often too casual conversations between non-coms and officers and crew. He said to the effect that _even under most extreme depth charge attacks the crew had to keep their shit together and make accurate assessments and decisions, and mostly they did_. So, as you said, the shouting is Hollywood.

Thanks for another excellent review. In The Seven Pillars of Wisdom, Lawrence explains that it was Faisal who suggested that he don Arab dress when working with the bedouin, who mostly associated khaki with the Turks, and would accept Lawrence more willingly if he wore garb consistent with that of Faisal's Meccan family. So Faisal had Lawrence fitted out in "splendid white silk and gold embroidered wedding garments" , a gift to Faisal ("perhaps a hint" says Lawrence) from his great-aunt in Mecca. Thus proving that any eligible bachelor, of any era, of any culture, at any point on the globe, be he ever so humble or even a Prince of Mecca, will always be pestered by his aunts to get married.

At the outbreak of the war minimum height was 5'3", but it was quickly realised that many men below that height would still make excellent soldiers. Thus arose 'The Bantams", down to 5 feet in height, which eventually comprised two infantry divisions. They came from industrial and mining areas so very strong for their size. Eventually heavy losses, transfers and normal sized replacements diminished their peculiarities.

Due to the bad conditions of English working class accommodations, food and working conditions, especially in the mines, there were many children around the turn of the century that were badly malnourished and sickly, which grew up rather short.

Lawrence of Arabia owned a Brough Superior motorcycle too. That alone makes him cool in my book. For those who don't know it's a highly treasured and respected motorcycle all wanted but few could afford back in the 1920's. Today it's a highly sought classic. While the motorcycles were sold with "100mph guaranteed top speed", they later models and lightly modified ones could reach 120mph and some were clocked at racing tracks doing 130mph. Now, that was a serious speed for a motorcycle before WW2 and very few road cars could hit a genuine 120mph in the 1930's.

Thank you for this excellent review! This movie came out in 1962 which was around the time I was born, and I grew up with an awareness that it was a highly acclaimed movie. I’ve watched it several times since, and although the film/entertainment experience is wonderful, I always found the plot to be a bit confusing since I wasn’t very familiar with the historical context. The conflicts in Arabia may indeed have been “a sideshow of a sideshow” from a western/European perspective, and thus less familiar to the general audience, but a review such as this helps place the conflict in context and results in greater understanding and appreciation of what was at stake. This is a great channel - keep doing what you do!

There are some movies best seen in the old WIDESCREENS of those legacy movie houses built in the 1950s and 60s. I fell blessed that I got to see Lawrence of Arabia in a movie theater that does justice to the grandeur of the time and place where the movie was set. The scene where he and his band start to cross that huge desert is lacking even with today's large TV screens. In that old cinema house, I felt like I was standing on top of that hill looking over that desert. And Peter O'Toole was the exact person to play the role. I don't think he ever got to play an equally challenging role and he mastered it to the hilt. He certainly was one of the best actors of my generation.
