I saw it when it first came out in the early 60s as a young child. It was the greatest film I'd ever seen and to this day it remains so. Most critics have it rated as one of the top 5 films of all time.
"We left Abd el Main there and rode on past the other bodies, now seen clearly in the sunlight to be men, women, and four babies, toward the village whose loneliness we knew meant that it was full of death and horror. On the outskirts were the low mud walls of some sheep-folds, and on one lay something red and white. 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"; and we turned and rode as fast as we might in the direction of the fading enemy. On our way we shot down those of them fallen out by the roadside who came imploring our pity. - Thomas Edward Lawrence, 1918
He tied down the turkish army that would have bolstered the western front for germany.their absense tilted the war in europe.the brits and france had been bled white.
Great film, I saw it back in 1970 on the big Cinerama screan. Very impressive. Still remember it very well, and the length of the movie. Classical quote from Peter to Omar when he brought back the lost boy,: Nothing has been written. Can still remember it very well. Great movie, classic must see.
I saw it some years ago in a Cinema in Vienna, i knew it from TV but boy, the cinema experience was something different, incredible. Just overall an amazing movie.
'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.' (Seven Pillars of Wisdom)
Thanks. Did Lawerence really do what was shown in this vid? He loved Suadi Arabia - that much is apparent. But did he really extoll the slaughter and participate in it?
I think the moral pivot of the whole scene is Omar Sharif saying, “God. . . God. . . God!!” From “No!” to “Oh no!” to “Here we go!” A helpless slide into the blood fever.
"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.
It's a nice callback to an earlier scene in the movie where Lawrence is admiring his brand new clothes by using his dagger as a mirror. Only now, when he looks his reflection, he is horrified by what he sees.
Apparently Benioff and Weiss told Emilia Clarke Daenerys character arc is that of Lawrence of Arabia, so why didn't they stage this scene in the last season? They could've copied this scene shot by shot, John Snow = Sherif Ali, Tyrion = the reporter Bentley, Grey Worm = Talaal, and Lannister defenders of King's Landing = Turkish army here. It would've made far lot more sense than the mess they ended up with.
@Giganotosaurus1993 I read about the money they spent on each episode of Game of Thrones. It kinda dwarfs the Lawerence of Arabia's budget, and even The Rings trilogy. Apparently, it was worth it; even, as you mention, for 5 seasons.
I didn't think GOT season 1 was all that great either. However my point was season 8 didn't have to be so bad. And they didn't even need more seasons or billions more budget, simply copy this Lawrence of Arabia scene in S8E5 would be a huge improvement.
This encounter was really quite different in the book. T.E. Lawrence could not control the Arabs and he wasn't even in the thick if the massacre. The movie is so different from the Seven Pillars of Wisdom. Lawrence was a diminutive scholarly officer in a horrible situation.
In Islam it is said that you should treat your enemy like they treat you.. since the Turks killed every person in the village the Arabs did the same to them.. here Lawrence declared ‘no prisoners’ but it was probably the Arabs who were seeking vengeance..😏
I recall that Lawrence blew out the brains of his favorite camel with his pistol in a charge by mistake. It has also been noted that he used a 1911 Colt during the Arab uprising.
@artemisp.folglemeyer I recall that part of his story, too. He personally executed a thief or murderer. I can not remember which crime, but it was not the Gassim in the movie. The man he rescued went on to live without being executed by Lawrence.
@@stevechilcoat2353 It was a murderer. The scene played out more or less the same as it did in the film, except it wasn't Gassim who was the perpetrator.
Lawrence did the what he had to do. He was a foreigner among locals, and it was their alliance that was keeping him alive and making it possible to carry out the objectives of his mission. He had to appease them or else he would lose local support.
I haven't rewatched THIS since 2014. How different everything is. Oh, and by the way- Lawrence's torturer is playing by my beloved Uncle figure Jose Ferrer.
There’s great moral ambiguity here. It’s not like the people they’re slaughtering are innocent victims who didn’t deserve punishment. They just massacred a village of people who were fully innocent, and clearly raped the women who lived there. And the Turks in general had tyrannically oppressed the Arabs for years and sided with the Germans, so they were hardly undeserving of some karma. Then again, Lawrence still finds himself covered in human blood, and the question can’t help but be raised, “is he any better than them for doing this?” And yet, when you remember that this man just lost two children he loved because of these people he’s killing, and was raped(!!) by the colleagues of these people he’s killing, and got zero therapy and zero time to heal or process any of that pain and was used like a tool by the officers who just sent him right back into the fray instead of getting him the mental and emotional help he needed, you can’t fully hate or blame him for reaching his breaking point here. Yet he still could’ve gone around and avoided more violence, like Ali begs him to. Layers upon layers of complexity.
Is he doing this out of revenge for the villagers or because he was captured by the Turks and badly abused by them.Some would suggest Lawrence was raped by the Turks.
Lawrence describes the reason for the wrath of the Arabs against the Turks. When they approached the village, a little traumatized child ran towards them. A warrior catched the little one but it died afterwards. The village showed a scene that the Arabs had never seen before. All inhabitants killed and often viciously mutilated. The woman raped and killed. One pregnant woman had a saw knife ruthlessly rammed between her legs. As the Turkish soldiers had been given permission to act like this, Lawrence had to give permission to execute revenge. Otherwise the infuriated Arabs would have gone completely out of control. And no Arab, especially his invented buddy Ali, wouldn't have urged him to go around and avoid these criminals.
This was a time when the Turkish Army was literally trying to wipe "dirty" races off the face of the Earth. Frankly, I always hated this scene for its unrealistic expectations of mercy toward war criminals on the field of battle. Watching the looting and rape of a village SHOULD inspire you not to capture the Army. And from a military perspective, why in the world would you go around them if you can so thoroughly beat them as they did here?
@@CodaMission They had to beat them anyway. It was only a question of time and best opportunity when the Arab army attacked Turkish columns until these gave up and became prisoners. This was normal procedure in this stage of war. But in this case the Turks continuosly went to far. Their fate was even more sealed when after the village the Arab army met some scouts who had been tortured by a handful of Turks nearby. And famous Tallal seeking death to join his people was the final signal. The voice of 'reason' or mercy from Omar Sharif did not exist in real life.
@@Planet_H037 YES they did, and not only Armenians. I am really surprised to see the whole World trying to ignore the Pure Barbarism the turks brought into the region from the Arabian peninsula, to the gates of Vienna. Sooner or later, an eventual Partition of the land now controled by the turkish regime would make the whole region more Peaceful and Just.
So good to see amongst the comments that others have been inspired to familiarise themselves with Lawrence by reading his book “The Seven Pillars of Wisdom”. As a primary/grade school age child I was made aware of the manner in which fear could be used as a motivator but was always troubled by aspects of it, when as a teenager I worked out that I felt far better could be achieved by courage, it was a great thrill to see Lawrence felt the same.
There's all kinds of amazing movies these days, you just have to know what to look for. The Lighthouse (2019) is truly incredible, maybe you can go watch that one and see if you still think all modern movies are garbage.

@@ancientloser They did a lot but I would point you to the early 1900s just around ww1 where they allowed for a famine to occur in Lebanon in which half of its population died from. Ottomans were sadistic people and its no surprised Turks have very selective memories, conveniently forgetting about the genocides they committed and remembering themselves in a more heroic light.
The Arabs massacred Turkish prisoners to satisfy their desire to loot and please the British upon promise of one Arab state. They did not have the strength to attack Turkish army. In the end they got the British promise.
Are youy trying to justify, or hide the turkish massacres and Genocides? Too late, the whole World knows, and the turkic propaganda and/or bribery cannot stop it!
The turks always ruled over the arabs, with a cruel and merciless hand, ironic to call themselves Muslims. The Arabs allied with the British and won their territories back. Win for the arabs.
@@DrStrange234 yeah.....all countries cobbled together to divide the Arab people into different groups so they could be played against each other by their colonial masters(British and French). I'm not a fan of the current regimes in most Arab countries but the seeds of many of today's problems were sown by the Brits and French carving up the Ottoman Empire.
And for those who want to complain about how stereotyped the Arabs were portrayed in another attempt to rewrite history, if it wasn't for a movie like this, in the West there is a good chance you would have to go to a museum to even get a hint of what occurred. In all wars, there is barbarity on every side, no matter how noble the cause and no matter who is on what side.
I did 2 tours in Vietnam in the Marine Corps. I didn’t see any American “barbarity” but of course if you say it’s in all wars on both sides it must be true.
In Islam it is said that you should treat your enemy like they treat you.. since the Turks killed every person in the village the Arabs did the same to them.. here Lawrence declared ‘no prisoners’ but it was probably the Arabs who were seeking vengeance..😏
But if they repent, then know God is all merciful most beneficent. And if they persist, then fight them as they fight you. Stop taking words out of context in Quran. Christians are notorious for this. Lawrence of Arabia is a kafir and his abode will be hellfire. What more can you expect for a British spy?
Far from home, a man with a mission In the heat of the glistening sun In the heart of ancient tradition This man's journey has only begun A raider has entered the battlefield (Sabotage) The game is about to unfold As the darkness falls and Arabia calls One man spreads his wings, as the battle begins May the land lay claim on to Lawrence name Seven pillars of wisdom lights the flame
@@DrStrange234 There is a difference between Arabs and Bedouins Educate yourself on Google. Arabs are a huge nation whose number exceeds 500 million people
My father and me wondered how mad O'Toole seemed before the attack. I can't imagine that the real Lawrence was so weak in this moment in front of his arab warriors.
The film company couldn't find enough Mausers. You might have thought, though, they would use the Mausers for the close ups and the Lee Enfields for the long shots.
Nothing to do with his rape at the hands of the Turks.. In Islam it is said that you should treat your enemy like they treat you.. since the Turks killed every person in the village the Arabs did the same to them.. here Lawrence declared ‘no prisoners’ but it was probably the Arabs who were seeking vengeance..😏
Lawrence operated on his own and told stories his own way. He was injured. It was likely not in Dera'a as shown in the film. His version of it read like a Gay S&M Stroke Book.
Well, Victoria Bondarenko Tsareva is 1/4 Turkish but I also know what torture and rape can do to a person's moral compass. Mine has been broken since the 2014 Ukrainian Coup.
Do you've seen on the front of turkish column how fast some men (surely officers) on horseback are fleeing? First they allowed their men to massacre innocents, then, when the s**t hit the fan, run away. This scene, without our modern gore, show how brutal could became a war when both parts, well, at least one, thrown away any humanity's regard, don't forget how the turks had behaved f.e. against the Armenians.
Obviously a classic epic film, but the filmmakers apparent disregard for accurate weapons kinda taints the film a tad. You see the Turks here trying to set up a French 1900 Hotchkiss machine gun, which is at least period correct (they probably should have German Maxims but whatevs), but in the Aqaba scene you see them using a WWII era 30 Cal. Why didn't they just use that damn Hotchkiss prop in that scene as well?! Also why aren't the Turks using Mausers? Surely the production could have found plenty of them for this? I know people keep bringing this up but it's so glaring.
The terrible thing where you have to win the war, you do the most awful things. One simple example, RAF bomber command, World War II, carpet, bombing towns and cities in Germany. Sometimes the only thing that matters is victory against our enemies. Got a problem with that and are you offended good, I hope you are?🇬🇧🏴🇺🇦
Hiroshima and nagasaki were not justified under your logic or realities. Although it would be, because you just defended the same strategy because the winners write the history books
@@cenktuneygok8986 For a turk to comment here and try to defend countless massacres and Genocides, is a little too much , don't you think ? Try to educate yourself from History for a change, and I mean Real History, NOT the turkic State Propaganda.

If this is what Turks did to other Muslim people, imagine what they did to non-Muslims... What goes around comes around, and karma is a bitch... probably one of the few times in world history in which war criminals were fairly judged.

Lawrence was weak, letting himself b influenced by th less capable judge. Sharif clearly disagreed w that other dude, th aggressor, and pleaded with Lawrence to stick to th bigger picture. Sharifs character wz, himself, an Arab, and there would've been no shame in going AROUND those people on foot. Instead, he gave in to the impulse to kill. This theme is highlighted, in th film, for no small reason.
For your information, this is a movie where Arabs and their gaylord Lawrence are heroes while Turks are bad guys. In real history, Turks beat the shit out of multiple nations in their worst.
@@Samet-fi3ke turks got Exactly what they deserved. Too bad they are still not punished for the other Massacres and Genocides, but their hated and barbaric empire is GONE forever !
These are the Arabs who, as infidels, attacked the Muslim Turks, on the orders of the Englishman Lawrence, who wanted to fight the Ottomans and destroy the Caliphate. The Arabs betrayed Islam and therefore Allah humiliated them.😢😢😢😢
He got gang-raped and the guys he’s killing here were in cahoots with his rapists. Calling him a psychopath is victim-blaming, especially considering he got no therapy, no support, and no chance to process his trauma in a healthy way; he was just thrust back into the violence.
The Arabs today were not the Arabs that were with Lawrence. If you are going to paint Lawrence and a psychopath, then you should say the same for the Arabs who were with him. Stop trying to make every westerner look like the bad guy while pretending all non-westerners are angels.
Disgusting traitor to our nation that enabled a foul regime to become. I hate TH Lawrence to the bottom of my heart but admire Peter O'Toole playing this role
Don’t see how he was traitorous to the British? He rallied the Arab’s to support the British to fight the Turks. In the grand scheme of the Middle East conflict he was very instrumental to the protection of the Suez Canal and advancement of British interest in the region. Britain was losing hold of its colonies worldwide and was in decline as an empire. The first world and the second saw to this as they crippled the economy of the superpower. It wouldn’t have mattered if Lawrence supporter the Arab state or not. They eventually would have had it irregardless.

Scenes like this makes me think that Peter O'Toole lost his mind during making this movie.
What a ridiculous thing to say. You have no idea
In Islam it is said that you should treat your enemy like they treat you.. since the Turks killed every person in the village the Arabs did the same to them.. here Lawrence declared ‘no prisoners’ but it was probably the Arabs who were seeking vengeance..😏
Pure bullshit and fantasy
But if they repent, then know God is all merciful most beneficent. And if they persist, then fight them as they fight you. Stop taking words out of context in Quran. Christians are notorious for this. Lawrence of Arabia is a kafir and his abode will be hellfire. What more can you expect for a British spy?
It's also better to forgive
Don't forget what those Turks did to him. He wanted to revenge too.
You carry the soul of the crusaders. Killing everything. Turks do not kill normal people ör villagers. Turks just fight with enemy armies
God, God, GOD!!!!!!!!!
poor Lawrence of arabia he probably thought to himself what have i done 😢😢😢😢😢😢
war is HELL!!
War is Hell
If you wish to stay out of Hell
Do not start War
Unless you have to?
The day when Arabs won but Muslims lost.
Islam lost.muslim kill each other😢
The Turks were notoriously disgusting and cruel...not an ounce of Islam within them.
when your sufies lost and the sunnies win
Agreed salam
Why are they running though. May be square formation? They even have artillery and MGs
Far from home, a man with a mission
In the heat of the glistening sun
In the heart of ancient tradition
This man's journey has only begun
A raider has entered the battlefield
(Sabotage)
The game is about to unfold
As the darkness falls and Arabia calls
One man spreads his wings, as the battle begins
May the land lay claim on to Lawrence name
Seven pillars of wisdom lights the flame

Love it!! I don't llike turuku people and I love how the bedouins treated them in this scene!!
Now look At bedouins in Palestine iraq they are suffering and dying for their crimes and greed
@@DrStrange234 There is a difference between Arabs and Bedouins Educate yourself on Google. Arabs are a huge nation whose number exceeds 500 million people
My father and me wondered how mad O'Toole seemed before the attack. I can't imagine that the real Lawrence was so weak in this moment in front of his arab warriors.
What you mean by weak?
The real Lawrence was complicated, but I wouldn’t say weak
The Arabs were out for blood and there was nothing Lawrence could do to stop it
Any man can act in any way when first witnessing the carnage of battle
The Turks had it coming.
OMG, he's losing it!
ortadoğu bugünkü halini fazlasıyla hak ediyor filistin olmamalı yaşasın israil
God. God… GOD!!!!!!!!!
A target rich environment...
Why are the Turks using Lee Enfields. :)
The film company couldn't find enough Mausers. You might have thought, though, they would use the Mausers for the close ups and the Lee Enfields for the long shots.
Ümmetçiler burda mı?
Guessed it was pay back time. Remember Lawrence was tortured by the Turk.
Nothing to do with his rape at the hands of the Turks.. In Islam it is said that you should treat your enemy like they treat you.. since the Turks killed every person in the village the Arabs did the same to them.. here Lawrence declared ‘no prisoners’ but it was probably the Arabs who were seeking vengeance..😏
Lawrence operated on his own and told stories his own way.
He was injured. It was likely not in Dera'a as shown in the film. His version of it read like a Gay S&M Stroke Book.
I think it's been suggested he was sexualy assaulted during that interrogation .
@@jameshudkins2210 Read a lot of gay S&M stroke books, do you?
@@rogueriderhood1862 You just made me laugh.
"For the rotten bloody newspapers"
Poor horses, poor animals!!
Lawrence wanted blood so bad
Can you really blame him after what he went through? No one in his situation would be thinking clearly.
I wonder if everyone actually got paid. The children in Pink Floyd's "The Wall" weren't.
Waaah
Well, Victoria Bondarenko Tsareva is 1/4 Turkish but I also know what torture and rape can do to a person's moral compass. Mine has been broken since the 2014 Ukrainian Coup.
Do you've seen on the front of turkish column how fast some men (surely officers) on horseback are fleeing? First they allowed their men to massacre innocents, then, when the s**t hit the fan, run away. This scene, without our modern gore, show how brutal could became a war when both parts, well, at least one, thrown away any humanity's regard, don't forget how the turks had behaved f.e. against the Armenians.
Obviously a classic epic film, but the filmmakers apparent disregard for accurate weapons kinda taints the film a tad.
You see the Turks here trying to set up a French 1900 Hotchkiss machine gun, which is at least period correct (they probably should have German Maxims but whatevs), but in the Aqaba scene you see them using a WWII era 30 Cal. Why didn't they just use that damn Hotchkiss prop in that scene as well?! Also why aren't the Turks using Mausers? Surely the production could have found plenty of them for this?
I know people keep bringing this up but it's so glaring.
The army of Saudi Wahhabis massacred Muslims and attacked the Turks, but never fought with the infidels and the British. 😂
that is it when hollywood writes your history.
Lawrence avenged the Armenian people 😊
Alia of Arabia...
The terrible thing where you have to win the war, you do the most awful things. One simple example, RAF bomber command, World War II, carpet, bombing towns and cities in Germany. Sometimes the only thing that matters is victory against our enemies. Got a problem with that and are you offended good, I hope you are?🇬🇧🏴🇺🇦
“War is cruelty and you cannot refine it”.
Hiroshima and nagasaki were not justified under your logic or realities. Although it would be, because you just defended the same strategy because the winners write the history books
Divide and rule.....
Good. Give the Ottomans the same measure of mercy they showed others for centuries. In reality, Turkey got off way too easy in that war.
@@cenktuneygok8986 For a turk to comment here and try to defend countless massacres and Genocides, is a little too much , don't you think ?
Try to educate yourself from History for a change, and I mean Real History, NOT the turkic State Propaganda.
Sizin de yaptığınız sanal propaganda değil mi sizinde geçmişiniz yazıyor ama tabiki size anlatıldığı gibi eksik anlatılmıyor siz yalan yazan tarihinizi okumaya devam edin@@BringBacktheGreeks

Lol! Dream on, as usual you Turks behaved horribly and payed a price.
WOW, you wrote:

which means you want to return, flay your "enemies", and salt their skin...
you are speaking like the barbaric turk you are. I am Glad, and the whole World is Glad your hated Empire is GONE !
It is telling that , even now, you do not recognize your most Horrible of Crimes, the Armenian Genocide. For Historical Justice, your leftover of a country must be Dismembered !
you lost the war mongol
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Savage and genuinely demonic and antichrist rhetoric. Youll “crucify us?” You do serve your father the devil after all

If this is what Turks did to other Muslim people, imagine what they did to non-Muslims...
What goes around comes around, and karma is a bitch...
probably one of the few times in world history in which war criminals were fairly judged.
Bu filmi batı stüdyolarında çekilmiş tatbiki Kendi halkına ne sunuyorsa halkın bunu yemesini istiyor Osmanlı ve Türkleri filmde kötü göstererek Kendi yaptıkları katliamları gizlemeye çalışıyorlar Türkler gayet medeni ve insancıl bir toplumdur bence başınızı sınırlarınızdan kaldırın ve dışarıya bakın derim her sunulanı yemeyin
Lawrence was weak, letting himself b influenced by th less capable judge.
Sharif clearly disagreed w that other dude, th aggressor, and pleaded with Lawrence to stick to th bigger picture.
Sharifs character wz, himself, an Arab, and there would've been no shame in going AROUND those people on foot.
Instead, he gave in to the impulse to kill. This theme is highlighted, in th film, for no small reason.
Lawrence of Islam - better movie title
Oui Will Gleason Miss. Church to spend $37-53
Anti Ottoman and anti Turkish politic film
Amazing Masterpiece based on Historical FACTS !
Hi. Turkish at his best. Poor guys
For your information, this is a movie where Arabs and their gaylord Lawrence are heroes while Turks are bad guys. In real history, Turks beat the shit out of multiple nations in their worst.
@@Samet-fi3ke turks got Exactly what they deserved. Too bad they are still not punished for the other Massacres and Genocides, but their hated and barbaric empire is GONE forever !
" They are fighting for a lie " Free Palestine !
These are the Arabs who, as infidels, attacked the Muslim Turks, on the orders of the Englishman Lawrence, who wanted to fight the Ottomans and destroy the Caliphate. The Arabs betrayed Islam and therefore Allah humiliated them.😢😢😢😢
yes, lawrence was a psychopath as portrayed in this scene, and many Arabs regret today what happened
He got gang-raped and the guys he’s killing here were in cahoots with his rapists. Calling him a psychopath is victim-blaming, especially considering he got no therapy, no support, and no chance to process his trauma in a healthy way; he was just thrust back into the violence.
The Arabs today were not the Arabs that were with Lawrence. If you are going to paint Lawrence and a psychopath, then you should say the same for the Arabs who were with him. Stop trying to make every westerner look like the bad guy while pretending all non-westerners are angels.
I'm Arab, and I tell you that most of Arabs doesn’t regret about the Arab Revolt, better than being ruled by mongoloid dogs 😂
Strange, the turks on the other hand, do not regret nor admit any massacre or genocide !!!
@@BringBacktheGreeks Turks is spelled with a capital T.
ISN'T THAT JOE BIDEN AND CORN POP
Nope
Lawrence s famous lie ,u can trust me
Disgusting traitor to our nation that enabled a foul regime to become. I hate TH Lawrence to the bottom of my heart but admire Peter O'Toole playing this role
Eeee?? You cannot even string an English sentence together so how was he a ‘traitor’ to you… he was as British as they come… which you are not..😏
@@franceleeparis37 shut your mouth napoleon's hand job
You’re the traitor
Don’t see how he was traitorous to the British? He rallied the Arab’s to support the British to fight the Turks. In the grand scheme of the Middle East conflict he was very instrumental to the protection of the Suez Canal and advancement of British interest in the region. Britain was losing hold of its colonies worldwide and was in decline as an empire. The first world and the second saw to this as they crippled the economy of the superpower. It wouldn’t have mattered if Lawrence supporter the Arab state or not. They eventually would have had it irregardless.
He was not a traitor... he could not stop the british and french governments!

And then the british gave the Land to the jews😅😅😅😅😅😅
The British weren’t interested in it. They knew it wasn’t worth the effort to hold that piece of the defunct Ottoman Empire.
