CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Lawrence (Peter O'Toole) shows no mercy when ordering an attack on a column of retreating Turkish soldiers.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
This sweeping, highly literate historical epic covers the Allies' mideastern campaign during World War I as seen through the eyes of the enigmatic T. E. Lawrence (Peter O'Toole, in the role that made him a star). After a prologue showing us Lawrence's ultimate fate, we flash back to Cairo in 1917. A bored general staffer, Lawrence talks his way into a transfer to Arabia. Once in the desert, he befriends Sherif Ali Ben El Kharish (Omar Sharif, making one of the most spectacular entrances in movie history) and draws up plans to aid the Arabs in their rebellion against the Turks. No one is ever able to discern Lawrence's motives in this matter: Prince Feisal (Alec Guinness) dismisses him as yet another "desert-loving Englishman," and his British superiors assume that he's either arrogant or mad. Using a combination of diplomacy and bribery, Lawrence unites the rival Arab factions of Feisal and Auda Abu Tayi (Anthony Quinn). After successfully completing his mission, Lawrence becomes an unwitting pawn of the Allies, as represented by Gen. Allenby (Jack Hawkins) and Dryden (Claude Rains), who decide to keep using Lawrence to secure Arab cooperation against the Imperial Powers. While on a spying mission to Deraa, Lawrence is captured and tortured by a sadistic Turkish Bey (Jose Ferrer). In the heat of the next battle, a wild-eyed Lawrence screams "No prisoners!" and fights more ruthlessly than ever. Screenwriters Robert Bolt and Michael Wilson used T. E. Lawrence's own self-published memoir The Seven Pillars of Wisdom as their principal source, although some of the characters are composites, and many of the "historical" incidents are of unconfirmed origin. Two years in the making (you can see O'Toole's weight fluctuate from scene to scene), the movie, lensed in Spain and Jordan, ended up costing a then-staggering $13 million and won seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. The 1962 Royal Premiere in London was virtually the last time that David Lean's director's cut was seen: 20 minutes were edited from the film's general release, and 15 more from the 1971 reissue. This abbreviated version was all that was available for public exhibition until a massive 1989 restoration, at 216 minutes that returned several of Lean's favorite scenes while removing others with which he had never been satisfied.

What's interesting about Lawrence in this scene is that his face isn't just contorted with fury, but also fear. He can feel his sense of control is about to break, but he desperately doesn't want it to.

[@jonnnyren6245]

Actually, the truth behind this scene is that Omar Sharif was thinking the camels might fall off or the riders might fall off the camels because they were about to charge down a slope or something, so Omar thought of tying himself down on the camel so he won't fall off. And Peter being the Irishman he was said he didn't want to get tied down to a camel so he decided to get drunk and Omar also agreed. So both idiots drank a bottle of brandy and milk and got really knackered to the heavens after. So this glorious and amazing scene is in fact, a scene where two of modern history's greatest actors, were actually bloody drunk. 🤣 Peter relayed this story to David Letterman, I don't know which year though.

This is very interesting. I wonder why he killed himself like this. Was it because of some honor code? He couldn't live without his fellow villagers? Wouldn't it have been better to wait to see if the others would attack with him? When he died, did the other arabs cheer for him? Cheered because they knew it meant they would attack?

[@yibtstill]

@@alexgiorev7252 he sacrificed himself as a martyr. So stricken by grief at the destruction of his home, he chose to end his own life at the hands of the Turks, urging his comrades to ride down the enemy and avenge his slaughtered people. He saw that Lawrence's will was wavering, that he did not in fact, want to massacre the ottomans wholesale. So he rode out and martyred himself in full view of his comrades. In my mind theres question as to if Lawrence would have even been able to prevent the slaughter at all after seeing that. They may have all along for the ride at that point. Theres a lesson to be learned here, for Arab/Western relations. Hopefully we can learn it before we create a million more Talals.

'Tallal had seen what we had seen. He gave one moan like a hurt animal; then rode to the upper ground and sat there awhile on his mare, shivering and looking fixedly after the Turks. I moved near to speak to him, but Auda caught my rein and stayed me. Very slowly Tallal drew his head-cloth about his face; and then he seemed suddenly to take hold of himself, for he dashed his stirrups into the mare's flanks and galloped headlong, bending low and swaying in the saddle, right at the main body of the enemy. It was a long ride down a gentle slope and across a hollow. We sat there like a stone while he rushed forward, the drumming of his hoofs unnaturally loud in our ears, for we had stopped shooting, and the Turks had stopped. Both armies waited for him; and he rocked on in the hushed evening till only a few lengths from the enemy. Then he sat up in the saddle and cried his war-cry, 'Tallal, Tallal', twice in a tremendous shout. Instantly their rifles and machine-guns crashed out, and he and his mare, riddled through and through with bullets, fell dead among the lance points. Auda looked very cold and grim. 'God give him mercy; we will take his price.''

[@dogevitale]

'...By nightfall the horses were laden, and the rich plain was scattered over with dead men and animals. In a madness born of the horror of Tafas we killed and killed, even blowing in the heads of the fallen and of the animals; as though their death and running blood could slake our agony... [W]hat with wounds and aches and weariness I could not rest from thinking of Tallal, the splendid leader, the fine horseman, the courteous and strong companion of the road; and after a while I had my other camel brought, and with one of my bodyguard rode out into the night to join our men hunting the [second] column.' - Seven Pillars of Wisdom

[@MartiansChronicle]

You'll be surprised how fast it goes in the cinema. I've seen it in the cinema, along with Zhivago. David Lean would time the scenes and I don't think the actors liked that too much! This meant the scenes would zip along. Brilliant script, dialogue, acting, photography, locations, sets... meant that you're never bored. The other thing you notice on the big screen are the details. These are lost on the small screen. Nothing was there by chance. It's the benchmark for epic filmmaking.

[@gregcosta6965]

[@morqwal]

This scene sparks some controversy, as does the historical event it was based on. Lawrence is shown as sadistically insane. Later, Lawrence and others feel some regret over this. That shows some great humanity, but I root for this massacre every time I watch it. Those retreating troops had raped and burned a village to the ground, and the real village massacre was worse than the film from what I've read. Yes, Lawrence is gunning down men who are surrendering, but they had just raped and murdered a whole village, mainly women and children. They have the gall to expect mercy? I respect Lawrence for his sense of regret or remorse afterward, but I sympathize with the kind of self righteous glee at slaughtering these animals. Well, as far as seeing it as a movie, I enjoy seeing the bastards cut down, even with their arms raised up in surrender.

[@robertclifford8527]

+degree7 Remember that even without the village massacre, they were at war. The Turks had shot one of Lawrence's men. They would have likely attacked anyway, but because of the village they were pretty pissed off and weren't in a prisoner taking mood. It wasn't necessarily right, but I think most people would do the same in that position.

[@morqwal]

Good point Mr. Clifford. I like how you examine it from a logical perspective as well as a moral perspective. And I like how Lawrence later regrets this part. It shows he's not a blood thirsty maniac... Or at least that that's not all he is.

[@morqwal]

Oscar Drew Strokosz Yes, History Buffs talked about the inaccuracies of sadism in the film. And while I am gratified to understand that the real Lawrence did not enjoy killing, the characters in the film enjoying don't bother me so much. Let me put it this way: that whole idea of "if we do this, we're no better than them," I find it fallacious. If you have two groups of people, and one starts a fight, and the other joins only afterward, the second is better because they fought after circumstances changed. So, here, Lawrence and his men, in the movie, are sadists, they are still better than the Turk soldiers because they are acting as a response to changed circumstances. They were provoked to enjoying sadism. The Turkish soldiers were sadistic to the village without provocation. QED, even as represented in the film, Lawrence et al are still better.

Timothy Wood sorry thats plainly wrong, agressors arent the ottoman garrison troops, but Saud and his atrocious, brutal terror-gang equipped and supported by the british agent Lawrence. Today they live in the country they killed for: Saudi Arabia. The utopian wahabbi islamic heaven, thanks to the brits. So no, I would not applaud the killings of the soldiers. At least not if you see the grand scale and the historical frame around the picture.

[@morqwal]

I hope you wouldn't applaud the soldiers for massacring the non-combatants of the village. I am speaking from the human emotional aspect that what the Ottoman troops did was unprovoked, whereas whereas what the Lawrence troops did was directly provoked by the Ottoman's brutality. Not the whole war, just this scenario involving the village. In fact, had the Ottoman's left the village alone, I believe Lawrence and the Arabs would have not attacked them.

Peter O'Toole mix of Fear, Madness, Bloodlust and Depravity is something out of this world in this scene

[@Gkm-]

Greatest historical movie/film i have ever seen! The scenes are breathtaking and the story is so well written that it is most definitely worth watching through the 4hours that it runs in! You will never lose focus or become bored during this film even though it runs as long as it does!

This movie should be shown again in theaters in its original 70mm format.

[@GoatLuffy_97]

I really appreciate how deftly this film captures both the sweeping landscapes of the desert and the intimate nuances of character acting. In every sense of it, this film is a cinematography masterpiece.

I do like a movie with a strong plot, and loa is 10/10. I’ve read 7pow 4 times, and found something new each time. What history, and what a story!

[@novocaineboy1979]

Amazing performance. What a great actor O'Toole was!

[@maulporphy4399]

The clanging of the soup ladles in this scene echos the bible's statement "If I can speak in the tongues of men and angels, but do not have love, I am nothing more than a clanging of cymbals." The writer concludes Lawrence was a man of outstanding abilities, but lacking in love.

[@iconocast]

if that was the case would he realy have declared "no prisoners" then?

[@maulporphy4399]

iconocast Of course, since "no prisoners" means kill everyone.

[@maulporphy4399]

iconocast Is not mercy a necessary component of love?

[@wovfm]

The soup ladles are very crucial in emphasizing the rag tag beaten nature of the retreating Turks perfectly juxtaposed with the pounding hooves and war cries of Lawrence's force - there's going to be a massacre alright.

[@borinakoune1803]

Don't say clanging. It reminds me of that Band Aid song "Feed the world" lol.

[@nedpoines8104]

"Is this a dagger which I see before me, The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee." Fear and compulsion for Lawrence, a psychological battle for control.

“I looked nearer, and saw the body of a woman folded across it, face downward, nailed there by a saw-bayonet whose half stuck hideously into the air from between her naked legs. She had been pregnant, and about her were others, perhaps twenty in all, variously killed, but laid out to accord with an obscene taste. The Zaggi burst out into wild peals of laughter, in which some of those who were not sick joined hysterically. It was a sight near madness, the more desolate for the warm sunshine and the clean air of this upland afternoon. I said: "The best of you brings me the most Turkish dead.” - T.E. Lawrence

[@ulinegron1831]

True classic seen it a thousand time every time like first time 😊

[@GossamerWaits]

I kind of wanted someone’s input on Omar Sharif’s last scene in the movie...he was crying and Anthony Quinn’s character confronted him. Sharif said something about loving and fearing Lawerence and fearing a man who hated himself, idk I couldn’t understand it. He disappeared and the very last scene of the movie of Lawrence look back at the camels was he looking Ali’s face? I would love a better explanation of this, Omar Sharif’s character was my favorite.

O'Toole was a master of his craft.

As a film buff, I’ve always wanted to see this, but was always difficult to try to invest nearly 4 hours with how hectic my schedules been last few years. Then over the first week of this month, I was in Japan and all places my friend wanted to see a 4K restoration at the movie theater, which had a big screen, so I thought it was a perfect opportunity to watch LOA for the first time in Japan of all places . It was a packed house and it was a great experience. Don’t think I would’ve appreciated the film as much without seeing it on the big screen the way it was meant to.

I saw this movie as a kid at Radio City Music Hall in N.Y.C. One of the greatest movies to see on the big screen in a majestic theater.

Don't see the dilemma here; your enemy just slaughtered an innocent village of families. The enemy was lucky they didn't suffer more.

[@greathelmm]

both agony and ecstasy in Lawrence's face

There is an intermission. Worth the long time.

Emilia Clark said the writers told her Daenerys’s arc is that of Lawrence of Arabia. I immediately thought of this scene. Why didn't they shot the sack of Kings Landing similar to this, Jon can be Omar Sharif and Grey Worm could be the guy who yelled "no prisoner".
