Lawrence of Arabia

Konu

Due to his knowledge of the native Bedouin tribes, British Lieutenant T.E. Lawrence is sent to Arabia to find Prince Faisal and serve as a liaison between the Arabs and the British in their fight against the Turks. With the aid of native Sherif Ali, Lawrence rebels against the orders of his superior officer and strikes out on a daring camel journey across the harsh desert to attack a well-guarded Turkish port.

Yorumum

Prince Feisal: But you know, Lieutenant, in the Arab city of Cordoba were two miles of public lighting in the streets when London was a village?

T.E. Lawrence: Yes, you were great.

Prince Feisal: Nine centuries ago.

T.E. Lawrence: Time to be great again, my lord.

Why is there no electricity?

I have been to that electrical house, Aurens.

There are three large machines.

He means generators!

So.

One of them is burning.

They are of an incredible size, but helpless.

It is so of all machines.

Let them burn. What need of telephones?

The need is absolute.

Then we need the English engineers.

No. Take English engineers

 

and you take English government.

Gasim's time is come, Aurens. It is written.

Nothing is written!

Go back, then!

 

…

 

Truly, for some men nothing is written unless they write it.

Günümüz filmlerine nazaran daha ağır işleyen ve tam 3.5 saat süren, 7 oscarlı, zamanına göre gerçektenden de çok görkemli fakat günümüz filmleri ile karşılaştırıldığında doğal olarak geride kalan bir film.

Filmde Anthony Quinn'i saymazsak Lawrance karakterini canlandıran Peter O'toole başta olmak üzere abartı bir oyunculuk var. Aklıma The Dark Knight Rises filminde Marion Cotillard'ın öldüğü sahne geldi. 

Filmin en etkileyici sahneleri ise Kral Faysal'a bağlı Arap Birliğinin İngiliz Subayı Lawrance önderliğinde Şam'ı ele geçirmesinin ardından, Arapların yetersizlikleri sebebiyle Şam'da ortaya çıkan idari ve teknik kaosun gösterildiği sahneler.
