Honestly I didn't find it that great. The poster looked great, the Bedouin clothes looked great, the desert looked great. That's why I wanted to see it. In the end it was alright, a bit long, but doesn't deserve the hype it gets I find
True story, excellently acted by Peter O'Toole. He was a great guy whose mother lived across from us in Leeds, west Yorkshire. He visited her regularly and had no edge with himself in chatting with the locals. Sadly missed.
@@triggerfish999 well, duh. I didn’t say Peter O’Toole blew that kid’s mind. I am aware it’s a movie, moron. But if this incident did happen, Lawrence did in fact blow that kid’s mind.
Goodness what are you saying? That what we’re seeing here is just some sort of partially fictionalised representation of events, put together for mere entertainment?? And that these people are all actors? How on earth did you discover this?
@@jerrycornelius3466 Lucky you. I had the pleasure of seeing the 4K remaster of the 70 mm print in theaters during the 50th anniversary but not an original 70 mm print.

the boy, michel ray here in this scene would later on marry the daughter or some member of the president of HEINIKEN BEER,making him a very wealthy man.
Slight historical inaccuracy, the British military knew that Lawrence and the rebels were going to take Aqaba and they gave him support in the form of artillery and naval support.
Bloody prejudice - sad to say - still in existence. Those stuck up bastards had no idea what TE did, or went through, and the man beside him, to achieve what they did- and what and who they lost on the way. And all for the sake of a bit of paper called a map, drawn up in Paris and London. Yes, they recognised TE's achievements, but they never 'accepted him into the club' - so to say. Well I say long live the mavericks, and the exceptions - and down with ' the status quo' - because when times are tough - that's when the mavericks truly SHINE ! xx
"We've taken Aqaba - we have, the wogs have" xx And hey - since we're doomed to repeat the mistakes of history if we don't learn from them ... we'll do it again, by God !
The “man” beside him is so obviously a child and yet they STILL try to deny him a cold drink in the middle of the desert because of his skin color. Revolting.
And that is the great irony of the scene. All these great officers of the great empire with their high-bourne pedigree are just sitting in the club drinking luxury spirits and getting their shoes polished while pontificating about how impossible about "impenetrable" the fort is. Meanwhile, the club reject and his band of "inferiors" did quick work of it for less than a quarter of the cost, showing that their snubbing was for naught. It was the movie damming them with faint praise. Interestingly, as the movie progresses Lawrence becomes more ghost-like and distant. This is when the legend takes over the actual Lawrence. In that instance, the officers and gentlemen all want to affiliate with the idea of Lawrence rather than the quirky 20 year old man himself. It is thus fitting that the final scene of the movie shows Lawrence through a dirty windshield; fuzzy, non-defined and grey/brown.
In reality the Brits were quite aware of what happened in Aqabar . The Royal Navy helped by attacking from the gulf of Aqabar. I've read T E Lawrence's book and I don't recall a scene like this happening.
truly great acting here ,peter o'toole should have gotten an oscar but lost to another great,gregory peck who should have gotten it either for TWELVE O'CLOCK HIGH 1949 or THE GUNFIGHTER 1950.
O'Toole was one of the greats. "Lawrence of Arabia" is still my favorite movie of all time, and I can recite quite a bit of the script whenever I have the good fortune to see it again. I also enjoyed the interplay between O'Toole and Burton in "Becket".
For one thing, this scene is not set in the desert but in Cairo, a large city with a lot of cafés and hotels that would've needed ice for their customers. For another, while the ice trade was still a thing in the 1910s, it's around the time it was superseded by artificially produced ice. I just don't think the presence of ice in this scene is all that remarkable.
Most desert cultures, including the Bedouins and the Arabs, believe that water is life. Guests are always offered water as a matter of course, since to do otherwise would be the same as telling them you wish them dead. Food is only slightly less important. It is why the custom of bread and salt is important; once you have been offered bread and salt, and consumed them, you are an honored guest and may not be harmed in any fashion, or the host's honor is forfeit. One reason why Lawrence was so determined to get him lemonade in the officer's club. As to why he sucked it down? Well, he was thirsty!
A shame that British TV censors this film these days and cuts out certain words such as one in this scene (W@gs)and half of the confrontation in the Damascus hospital.
even though the Arabs fought and died for the British they would still not be allowed drink in the same place! nothing changes the rioters are saying the same today in 2024.
The glory days of the British Empire. Check out Modern London now. "We want Tikka Masala, Hyderabadi mutton Biryani, Samosas with mango chutney. Also don't forget the Gulab Jamun and Lassi .." 😄
"That's all right, we're not particular." Lol
“He likes your lemonade” beautifully delivered line.
Whole movie is beautifully delivered.
Lawrence in this scene is just like a starving father demanding that his son be given first priority for food, drink, and shelter.
Not only was that boy thirsty that lemonade was most likely the best thing he ever drank in his life
I saw this film decades ago. The story was so magnificent that I didn't see how great the acting was.
What's the name of the move?

I felt so bad for the two. Those guys had no idea what Lawrence had to go through. The least they can do is make lemonade with their given lemons. 😉🍋
When Aqaba gives you lemons, make lemonade.

That kid had drank nothing but warm goat’s milk and dusty water his entire life. Lawrence just BLEW HIS MIND.
…it's a movie…so maybe in the actor's back story….but not in real life.

I think of this scene whenever I drink lemonade.
Same! I've having lemonade now.
This is an officers bar
drinking lemonade now and looked this scene up
I think of Eddie Murphy impersonating Elvis Presley: lemonade, that cool refreshing drink.
And I think of lemonade each time I am in Akaba.
Saw this 70mm yesterday
Simply one of the greatest films ever.

The boy drinking that lemonaid was no act, he was really thirsty.
Fabulous movie. Seven Pillars of Wisdom, by T.E. Lawrence, is also magnificent.
"He likes your lemonade". So british.
And tasty irony on the side, of course. Sardonic, even.
How is that so British?
@@rustincohle2135 I believe it's called "understatement".

He was also in THE BRAVE ONE in 1956 and THE SPACE CHILDREN in 1958.
Graduated from UC Berkeley too.
Everyone ought to read his book.
“Seven Pillars of Wisdom” is one of the best books I ever read.
agree 100%
It is quite a read. I ought to pick up a new copy.
One of the best films ever!
I always found it strange that Lawrence asked for "lemonade." Wouldn't it have been more appropriate to ask for "Orance" juice ?? 😆
NICE!
Very funny! “He likes your lemonade.”
Slight historical inaccuracy, the British military knew that Lawrence and the rebels were going to take Aqaba and they gave him support in the form of artillery and naval support.
And furrowed English eyebrows aplenty
What do you want in here? Lemonade! We want it here and we want it now. Bring us the finest lemonade available to humanity.
I was thinking of the scene in the pub with the irish fecker
@@TransoceanicOutreachmaybe this was the inspiration? Was Lawrence a perfumed ponce?
That lemonade does look delicious!
It does. Looks nothing like the clear fizzy stuff in the UK.
On a par with the bar scene at the end of ‘Ice Cold in Alex’ but with lager beer.
Anthony Quayle again.
We've taken two large glasses of lemonade & also btw, Aquaba.
More videos with tremendous quality like this please...
Brilliant! Just brilliant.
Awesome movie, one of my favourites 👍👍👍

Obviously not the same as the lemonade you get today😂
Hard to imagine the scale of epic productions movies used to have 50 years ago, wha happened
Lemonade was a popular drink and it still is, i get more props and stunts then bruce willis.
Nice quote. 👍
It’s not evident, but when the officer threatened him TE reached for his blade. That’s why the officer backed off
Oh wow I think you're right. I don't think you can see his hand behind the bar but you definitely noticed the officer looked down like "oh no."
truly great acting here ,peter o'toole should have gotten an oscar but lost to another great,gregory peck who should have gotten it either for TWELVE O'CLOCK HIGH 1949 or THE GUNFIGHTER 1950.

It's mind boggling the logistics required to have ice at that time period in the desert.
I have seen it, one of Harrison Ford's more complex characters.
Sums up the British Empire really, the power and might to bring ice to the desert as a reward to officer's in a bar in Cairo for their lemonade.

Although Lawrence stretched the truth a bit in his book. He couldn’t have crossed the Sinai in the way he describes.
Maybe stretched the truth all over but made it a great story
