Rescuing Gasim From The Desert - Peter O'Toole | Lawrence Of Arabia | Silver Scenes

[@lauracorriss9538]

Thank you for posting this. One of my favorite scenes from my favorite movie, and most definitely my favorite soundtrack.

[@20PhantoM07]

This is I think the most wholesome thing I’ve ever watched.

[@marysueeasteregg]

The movie as a whole certainly isn't.

[@DaytonaRoadster]

well dont think too hard, he kills him later

[@katyevans5658]

The best film ever made❤

[@answerman9933]

It should always be viewed on the big screen.

[@gregcosta6965]

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES truuue:)

[@gerardtuxen5069]

When they made great movies. This is one of the best

[@a.w.1906]

I'm from Germany and some Years ago I flew to Sri Lanka. We flew over Saudi Arabia and it was incredible. Even from 11km height you saw nothing than hundreds of kilometers desert in every direction. I never saw anything more impressive.

I believe this was filmed in Jordan

I respect all arab people very much because they don't leave their country because of vaste deserts, nothing , only sand. They live in their country, love it. ❤❤❤

[@gregcosta6965]

I lived there in the 1980s. It's not all just desert, Saudi Arabia has grasslands too and coastal areas with beautiful sunset and sunrise vistas of the Red Sea.

[@Rozsaphile]

The angles, the editing, the light, the music . . . and the way Lean piles climax upon climax by omitting the actual rescue. Even after the great long shot of two camels meeting, we get another revelation with Daoud and then finally a quiet ending with Ali. One of the greatest sequences of pure cinema ever.

[@CodaMission]

Gasim walks knowing full well his chances are slim. Basically zero. He walks in the hope that there will be a miracle.

[@kidd_gallahad2512]

It was this action that made Lawrence appear like a god to these men. The saving of a life written off made him larger than life in their eyes. The movie creates an almost demi-god out of Lawrence at least at the beginning and through the middle, for instance after witnessing the two German planes that strafe Faisal's camp as Faisal himself draws his sword then chases the planes in a pathetic show of impotence against modern technology, Faisal knows his cause is doomed. He sheathes his sword in despair and bows his head to pray while still on his horse, when he opens his eyes, the answer to his prayers is standing right in front of him, it is Lawrence to whom he asks, "Who are you?"

[@gregcosta6965]

All he needed was an icebox full of glass coke or pepsi:))

[@fernandkessler2855]

Une scène monumental et la musique en plus. Waouh

[@12classics39]

Ali‘s big rant calling him a blasphemer - “Aqaba? WAS IT AQABA???!!!” - and ending with that over-the-top yell *“ENGLIIIIIIISSSHHH!!!!!”* is just one of the best movie moments ever. Omar Sharif just dials it up to 11 and it's serious and yet so funny at the same time.

[@adrianpoesiat]

Yes lol. My favourite dialogue too

[@adrianpoesiat]

Why did you come here with your blasphemous conceit? Was it Aqaba?

[@stevenmarler5154]

Every shot, like a painting.

[@sanghoonlee5171]

You watch this, and you realize Arabian desert is more terrifying than anything in the recent Dune films. You can practically feel your skin sizzle and blister under the sun. See how hard the ground is baked? As Ali says, this is "the sun's anvil."

[@gregcosta6965]

haha your skin sizzle i like that description. Bbqued human flesh:))

[@StudSupreme]

8:50 - a truly parched man would NOT drink water like that. I know from personal experience. You have to be very careful with that first sip, because it will seem as if it explodes in your mouth like a grenade. It's an event impossible to describe, but your body has such a craving for water that your reaction to water can be uncontrollable.

[@Nobodyneedsabodyanymore]

I have heard this. That's so insane to think about

[@gregcosta6965]

" gassem's time has come orans... it is written" " NOTHING IS WRITTEN" . Lawrence here demonstrated that the English way of thinking is much more flexible than the middle eastern and southern european way of thinking... I loved that.

[@adrianpoesiat]

Love the music score. Lightly tapping snare and kettle drum bass notes

[@32ModB]

Back to life❤

[@landochabod7]

5:32 the best shot in movie-making history

[@KhoaHoVoang]

How did David Lean and Freddie Young shoot that shot?

[@JeffLynnesBeard]

100% agree

[@JohnWesleyDowney]

A scene for the ages.

[@ifuknjk]

my best movie n peter my idol....no flying thru.thr air...no iron man bo hulk,,,just good movie making

[@rejmons1]

This desert is a beautiful, magnificent place, but that's a very deadly beauty. You feel it in every moment! Walking through it is the kind of hazard game: One mistake and you will be certain dead. The desert in "Duna II" movie is huge and magnificent, but it's just a huge sandbox for kids. And that's what makes the difference between those two films...

[@marysueeasteregg]

I think Lawrence of Arabia did a better job portraying the beauty of the desert. And yes, the lack of sandworms aside, a better job portraying the danger.

[@matteovasta5952]

Sempre superbe le scene nel deserto

[@stephenl7048]

O'Toole was a gigantic talent. Brian Blessed berated him in the strongest language (to his face, in later life) for effectively pissing his talent against the wall.

[@richtea615]

'Nothing is written.'

[@answerman9933]

But soon afterward, Lawrence is forced to kill Gasim. Gasim may not have died in the desert, but he died.

[@PeteDavidson-yl3ps]

I didn't know this, but, Camel's poop is totally dry, in that their digestive system doesn't waste any water, they are the best at absorbing ALL moisture from either food or water. They are designed to live for up to 25 days without water.....so I beg the question...what GOD or what creature or creation created such an incredible animal ??

[@lulutileguy]

saw rhe 4k remake spectacular true epic

[@WhocaresWhy44]

Geoffrey Moorhouse who wrote the Fearful Void describes the misery to the body, spirit, and mind of riding on a Camel over great distances. Tea being essential as a restorative. He was not able to complete his transit of the Sahara. He prepared well, even acquiring a special sextant for navigation. Yet it was the chafing, sweat, and boils that did him in.

Love this movie and the book(s) from then and about then. Want to understand ME politics start with this and the Balfour declaration...

[@Setmose]

Note Daud and Faraj holding hands as Lawrence dismounts and walks to Ali's campsite. In "Seven Pillars of Wisdom" they are indeed lovers, and Lawrence, being the counter-culture type, made a show of brushing away all British Victorian prudishness to portray that as wholesome within its own context. David Lean is also making a 1960s statement, agreeing with Lawrence on that account. And yes, it's clear, that Lawrence does want the "shock value" of his honest description. That's a part of the convoluted T.E. Lawrence, caught up in his own coils, knowingly. It was an excruciatingly self-aware, lonely, painful life for him -- oscillating between a showy yearning for acceptance / recognition / love, and a forced, showy embarrassed withdrawal at the same time. Danger-Safe. As many walking wounded are.

[@gerardjones7881]

read his book, the 7 pillars of wisdom, it makes the movie seem like disneyland.

[@rustincohle2135]

Such as?

[@RK-um9tu]

Charles Hill has called Seven Pillars "a novel traveling under the cover of autobiography", capturing Lawrence's highly personal version of the historical events described in the book.

[@Setmose]

@gerardjones7881 Disagree. "Seven Pillars of Wisdom" is a highly-stylized piece of literature, stating Lawrence's self-conception in an almost Nietzschean scale. He was aware that he was using the Desert Revolt as a canvas for his life's work. The movie has to convey that, and succeeds completely in my opinion. The portrayal by Peter O'Tool. The cinematography, the location choices (many of which, such as Wadi Rumm, are the actual historic places), and the Oscar-winning music by Maurice Jarre that perfectly cues the emotional pitch we are supposed to be feeling at each moment.

[@Setmose]

@@RK-um9tu Thanks for the quote. Agree with that assessment completely. And I think Lawrence himself would agree as well.

Back when movies were based on the real thing, BEFORE artistic license!

[@351cleavland]

There is TONS of artistic license in this movie. Even biographical movies have it. Otherwise people would be bored by the mundanity.

[@underarmbowlingincidentof1981]

Lawrence of Arabia is a perfect example of a movie that takes a lot of artistic liberties and even overlooks certain historical events and important moments in Lawrence life to make it a better movie over all. That IS artistic license.

Marvelous cinema. The desert and the sun and the people. Again, Lawrence is imposing his British views instead of accepting the Arab. He is brave and strong, but it is indeed written. I understand that in real life, they went around that flatland. But dang.
