Offering Hospitality | Lawrence of Arabia (1989) | Now Playing

not a wrong line in the whole movie,a true masterpiece in story telling

[@Belano1911]

Anthony Quinn totally dominates this is scene and is 100% believable . A truly great actor in many movies. R.I.P.

[@NESig]

He stood out in an already stellar cast. Just a tremendous actor.

[@hectorbravo6862]

Antonio Quintana entiendo que era su nombre real. Un actorazo como pocos. Podía ser un griego, o un árabe, o un recluta norteamericano, o un esclavo, o un seudo soldado modelo nazi (la hora 25). Por ahora no recuerdo otros roles. Pero sin duda un actor como pocos. La generación de un David Niven, Alec Guinnes, y otros más que por ahora no recuerdo.

[@DavidAndreaBernhard]

I also thought "Ouch! That's something you don't tell a crazy guy like Auda!".

[@Kalah_]

For those who aren't following: hospitality is very important in Arab culture. Asking for it should generally be met with it being given, and once given, a holy pact exists between host and guest. It is a great dishonour to mistreat a guest to whom you have given hospitality, even if they are your enemies. Lawrence knew this, and managed to delay the conflict between the two clans by simply asking to be treated as a guest.

[@quantumx9924]

Thanks!

[@theusher2893]

Unless, of course, the other party is a kafir, in which case taquiyya is not only acceptable, but required. Therefore, their "hospitality" is one sided and, for most, lethal.

[@Bill308A10]

As one in business with such people from this area you are very correct it’s even like this still. Once you gain the trust they are very hospitable and it’s quite nice how friendly they can be. I’m just a dude from South Georgia USA and figured this out. Idk but I loved seeing that world and I thoroughly enjoyed the guys and girls I met over there.

[@alanroe1020]

On hospitality among the Bedouin: I once met a man in a Bedouin Sheiks tent. For days was always sat at the Sheikhs fire pit drinking coffee and eating ravenously at every meal. The Sheikhs called him ‘the Sheikh miskeen’ (the wretched Sheikh). I later heard the story of this man. He was a man who he claimed the Sheikh owned money. The Sheikh disputed this and refused to pay. But the man arrived at his family tents expecting hospitality and the Sheikh was honour bound to give this. The man stated that he would remain in the Sheiks tent eating his food until he had made good the sum of money he claimed he was owed. And the Sheikh could do nothing to prevent this. But during conversations he was generally ignored other than occaisional enquiries after his well-being (tongue in cheek!) I saw him in the Sheikhs tent for nearly a month, but the Sheikh could not refuse him hospitality…

[@orangefox1231]

Thank you. I always wondered if it was just the eccentricities of Auda. Now I understand it’s deeply cultural

[@cshubs]

@@mathiaskjeldgaardpetersen5926 I agree with Eric. Putting 89 in the title will make many audience members assume the movie was originally released in 89. The other versions are just that, versions of a 1962 movie.

[@cosy1914]

1989 makes it sound like a remake - not remaster. It is 1962 to be precise.

The title should indicate the original release date then add in any additional information.

I would rather that than being out of my mind with Dementia and shitting myself on some hospital bed. There are many worse way's to die than to die doing something you love I think.

This (the 1982version) is the re-mastered version. This film originally came out in 1962.

[@NESig]

[@Paddymayne4738]

Incorrect. Quinn was American son of an Irish father and Mexican mother. O’Toole was English with an Irish Great Grandfather. The English paid the Arabs Massive amounts in Gold to fight against the Turks and the Germans. Yet, the Jewish Legion fought with distinction against the Turks as the 58th Fusiliers in Gallipoli and drove them out of Judea, which the Turks called Palestine, the name given to them by the Romans.

[@jimihendrix991]

Manuel Antonio Rodolfo Quinn Oaxaca was born April 21, 1915, in Chihuahua, Mexico, during the Mexican Revolution to Manuela "Nellie" (née Oaxaca) and Francisco "Frank" Quinn. Frank Quinn was born to an Irish immigrant father from County Cork and a Mexican mother. Peter Seamus O'Toole was born on 2 August 1932, the son of Constance Jane Eliot (née Ferguson), a Scottish nurse, and Patrick Joseph "Spats" O'Toole, an Irish metal plater, football player, and bookmaker.

[@peterblum613]

I think I saw somewhere that O’Toole ad libbed pulling out the dagger. Lean supposedly said something like, “Brilliant boy.”

[@hoilst265]

Which is absolutely brilliant, because Lawrence was using it as a mirror to look at his transformation - to see if he recognises himself, perhaps, or see what his new identity is. And later in the movie, after he orders the massacre of the train, and gleefully takes part in the killing, covered in blood, he's staring into the blade again, seeing what he's turned into now... Good actors will say their lines and hit their marks. Great actors will create their characters. O'Toole was definitely the latter.

[@johnc2438]

@@Ghostpepper720 Great question! You're watching the almost miraculous restoration released early in 1989. This restoration project was a work of love that employed some of the people involved in the original production, including Peter O'Toole who re-recorded some of the voice passages that had been lost or reduced to intelligibility over the years. Various other tricks and sources were used to patch together sounds and scenes to remaster the film in an amazing theatrical re-release in 1989. I saw the film in Century City on a great wide-screen theater in 1989 on this second release. It was a fabulous experience to see what the artists did to put the film back together for the large, wide-screen theater (with great sound, too!), including additional footage that had been cut for theatrical showings back in 1962. I had to see the film this way, again, as I had spent time in southern Jordan back in summer 1977 --- including having my first camel ride at Wadi Rum (no Anthony Quinn around, of course).
