Lawrence Invades Aqaba | Lawrence of Arabia (1989) | Now Playing
NOBODY makes movies this good anymore - so good... cinematography, massive set coordination, dialogue, perfection!
I know Gregory Peck was excellent in To Kill a Mocking Bird but it was a travesty that Peter O'Toole wasn't awarded the Oscar because his performance in this was one of the greatest acting performances of all time- would easily be in the top 10 with no argument, with a strong case for No. 1.
This is the first truly great movie that I saw and appreciated for what it was.
Much of that appreciation came from O'Toole's performance - watching him act as Lawrence was and is riveting, as much the 20th time I've watched this as the first.
❤❤
I hate people who accuse O’Toole of “overacting” this part. Lawrence was written to be larger than life; the role is almost inherently Shakespearean in the script. He needed to be portrayed by an actor with massive presence, which O’Toole was. I agree that his performance ranks in the top 10 of all time, by a mile.
There was a time when when the Oscar for best acting was awarded, a case for every competitor could be made that he would have deserved the Oscar for brilliant acting. When it was actually hard to choose between them.
Nowdays, Oscars are a joke, and not a funny one, either.
Hollyweird cant get anything right when to comes to the Oscars.
Remember guys: no CGI here. All those people horses and camels were really there...
Not a cellphone in sight. Just people living in the moment.
That's true. It took two people each for the horse and camel costumes.
I saw this movie when I was a kid like 53 years ago. My folks took me to see it at the cinema. I never forgot it and have since watched it many many times over the years, such a great movie. Peter O'toole's performance with Omar's was fantastic. The days or real stunt mean and real action. No amount of cgi can be made to look and feel real. LOL and no, I'm not some crazy anti computer anti cgi pensioner LOL (I work as an freelance editor LOL) but we we all know this even with the best supercomputers running the best software; there is something really organic about such movies as this and it's called real sfx LOL.
...that's because there are probably laws and regulations today, e.g., environmental, animal rights, etc., that would not permit this movie to be made again and trade unions, taxes, IP rights, etc., that would not make such movies economical.
@@bctpcp9546 You must of been aw struck seeing such a movie in on the big screen. I remember when Jaws first came out and our Scout leader took us all along to see it at the cinema !
Although O'Toole was a noted Shakespearean actor and had done some TV and film work, it was this epic picture that brought him world attention. Rightly so. Lean's masterwork here will thankfully survive, through restoration and loving care. This and 2001 are a testament to how movies were made before computers and CGI.
i was thinking the same.watching o toole and sharif here its hard to believe that they were relative novices in movies.they both of course became superstars but its incredible that they appear to be so in this movie.apart from sean connery in dr no for different reasons i cant recall actors who had such star prescence in their debut starring roles.o toole simply gives an uneqaulled performance.he has such screen power that he defines the role.so great is he that he becomes lawrence.nobody ever quibbles that the real man was physically nothing like him its irrelevant such is the greatness pf o toole.
Best scene in one of the best movies ever
i concur
For me Sharif totally steals this scene.
That movie was from 62, not 89 lol. Unless this is a 1:1 remake with a deaged Peter O Toole.
The 60s, the 80s, it's all the same to a millenial
I believe this is from the restored rerelease
I believe it's a reference to the restoration, which was 1988, the year before. That's coming from a knowledgeable millenial.
So great that in 80’s was remastered and in UHD on Amazon.
@@RaidmasterprodYup the year of the restoration was in the end credits.
'It was written, then'
A gut punch of a line. Another one that hits hard is “they’ll be alright with me,” when you know what happens next to those poor sweet boys who deserved so much better.
@@12classics39He probably wished he would have left them with the others and away from the detonator. 😭
The first three and half minutes of this clip is the summary of the entire 4-hour epic.
A beautiful movie...absolutely beautiful.
You know the execution is portraid rather accurately in the movie. According to Peter O' Toole, he had a conversation with a tribesman that was there when it happened. The man that was executed was dumped on a well and Lawrence shot numerous times because he kept on missing him. After that he went for a walk and disappeared for hours. That tribesman went out to look for him and found him behind a rock, crouched in a pseudo-fetal position in, and I'm quoting Peter : "...in a terrible state of emotion.".
This I believe is the begining of Lawrence's downfall. Forced to carry out an execution in order to appease the Arab tribes and try to maintain some sort of union between them.
Part of the reason he developed PTSD.
Maravillosa película "Lawrence de Arabia"con Peter O'Toole,Omar Sharif,Anthony Quin,Alec Guinness,y muchos otros principales actores más!!👍📽️💖
Je connais bien ce film, mais c est dommage qu il ne soit pas en français ou sous titre. Ça n empêche sa valeur.Les acteurs supers. Merci
As of was written! - Lisan Al gaiib
Was security. 2004 -06 loved the people wear a ring they gave me 20 yrs ago
The ride into Aqaba was filmed in Spain. They built the entire town, used real horses, and imported real camels.
The fakery is that they didn't cross the Nefud. They went around it.
Anthony Quinn may have been a fake Arab, but he was dashed impressive.
Thanks for that - I thought Aqaba looked quite green.
1962
restored 1989
I was in the theater as a young girl, every emotion was felt. The movie was “remastered “ in ‘89.
Check out, Goodbye Mister Chips.
My Favorite Year with Mathew Broderick is also good
@@user-sh7yc3sx4o Matthew Broderick? Me thinkst you are mistaken, dear friend.
THE epic movie❤❤
What a legendary hero T.E. Lawrence was
Beautiful scenes! M1919 Browning machine gun = anachronism. Not existing yet.
"You're an ignorant man."
That is a ballsy thing to say. And he's right. Ali could read and write, but he had no sense of context.
True. It’s rather irrational of Ali to be upset that Lawrence is going to Cairo, when Lawrence is right: the only way to keep things moving is for the overseeing officials to be aware of the situation. I think Ali’s reaction shows how his relationship with Lawrence is quickly becoming very personal. He sees Lawrence’s quick abandonment of Aqaba as a personal rejection; the fact that he himself gave Lawrence the robes makes him more afraid that Lawrence will just forget about him when he leaves. Lawrence’s response isn’t just about Ali’s lack of context but about what Ali is implying; “you’re an ignorant man if you actually believe I would ever cast you aside like that.”
I would also point out that Lawrence is being ignorant here as well.
Ali is right that if the only way the Arabs are to be taken seriously is through Lawrence putting on trousers and forgetting...than the Arabs will never be taken seriously.
A point which becomes crystal clear to Lawrence by the end of the film.
Nah. He is just being completely ironic in the British sense. And Ali learns what that is, right on the spot. In other scenes, Lawrence learns from Ali the sharp spice of Bedouin irony. That is the nature of their camaraderie throughout the film.
I have to say Lawrence was a bad shot. Although probably for dramatic effect. Goes without saying brilliant movie.
At the actual Battle of Aqaba, Lawrence was nearly killed when accidentally shot his own camel in the back of the head.
@@BadSkeelz wow, I guess I was right. Can’t imagine shooting from on top a camel.
David Lean was a magician of film
Beautiful photograph
The Technicolor Super Cinemascope re-release to theaters in a limited run was in 1989 at 216 minutes.
I saw it in a cinema then.
The original was from 1962.
If Technicolor new prints of any film are ever made and screened again, you MUST go see it in a theater.
So much better than modern tech it is tragic.
Lawrence offers to execute a member of the Harith clan for killing a member of the Howeitat clan to prevent a blood feud between the clans so that they can carry out the attack on Aqaba. However he is distraught to see that the offender is the person that he rescues when got left behind while crossing the desert. The offender accepts to die in the hands of the person who saves his life.
Yes. i think we al understood that. Thank you for understanding it too
Having watched O'Toole's interviews where he tells that he and Omar Sharif were drunk and tied down to their camels so as not to fall makes me see this scene in a whole new light.
I enjoyed it.
I am Turkish. In 1900, my grandfather served in the military in Yemen for 5 years. We Turks have fought from front to front for the Ummah for 1000 years. But now the situation has changed. We don't have a drop of blood to shed for traitors. They have lawrence
Really sir?? What division your grandfather service in ottoman army??
I am really want know about your grandfather story, sir? 😊
Not to make too much light of the scene, but it is a pretty good metaphor for corporate layoffs. Managers are given their nonsensical reasons, then supress their sense of morality in order to do what is pragmatic.
Such a powerful meaningful scene. Unfortunately Lawrence did not use his own gun. Or was it Lawrence's gun given to Tavis and appropriated by Ali?
Asoon as the murderer was killed, notice thathe men relaxed their weapons to their sides.
1989? It was released in 1962...
5:10 is that an M1917 Browning machine gun? The barrel looks rather modern for the time this movie is based on. Shouldn't the barrel be big and bulky? That has the same diameter as the German WW2 Panzerschreck?
I'm pretty sure you are correct. Went scrolling to see if anyone noticed it.
Barrel aside, why would the turks even have Browing MG's?
@@Prodrentjet I'm guessing the director/producers were hoping nobody would notice, if the Turks didn't having Brownings at the time.
@@sundriedplatypus think it's quiet easy to miss.
The lead actor of this movie was also in Troy
Don’t hold that against him!
Movie is from 1962 what is 1989?
1989 is when the restored director’s cut was made.
@@Shadow-gm9ct Right of course forgot! thanks
Rectification - ça n empêche pas sa valeur.merci
1989? What?
Better check your dates as this movie did not come out in 1989.
Restoration rerelease
@@gijoe508 👍
1989 ???
@2:34 he gets the hang of it
1989??
bruh Lawrence of Arabia was created in 1962
That nose prosthetic is ridiculous lmao.
I won't say it's "racist," cuz it was a very different time, but it would certainly be if this film was released today lol
Auda actually looked like that.
That beach scene isn't even subtle about the turn that Ali and Lawrence's relationship is taking. The sunset, the waves, the FLOWERS, the exchange of smiles … I mean come on! More romantic than any moment in modern-day romance films.
(go read about David Lean's intentions for this film's subtext if you think I'm crazy.)
I've watched that scene a dozen times and never even got the hint it had homosexual undertones. In other words, your interpretation says much more about you than the scene.
You're most probably homosexual or suppressing your own homosexuality.
Why ruin a perfectly good scene like this
@@NoName-xc6cg there's no such things as comradery or friendship in these people's minds
@@andreyandreiko8553David Lean said himself in an interview with the Washington Post in 1989:
As to the suggestion that the film is pervasively homoerotic, [Lean] says: "Yes. Of course it is. Throughout. I'll never forget standing there in the desert once, with some of these tough Arab buggers, some of the toughest we had, and I suddenly thought, 'He's making eyes at me!' And he was! "So it does pervade it, the whole story, and certainly Lawrence was very if not entirely homosexual. We thought we were being very daring at the time: Lawrence and Omar, Lawrence and the Arab boys."
So OP’s observations are quite valid.
@@NoName-xc6cgit ain’t ruined. It’s David Lean’s intention.
Silly Arabs digging there own grave

@@phyllisfager6689 True, but they were fools to put their trust in an empire stemming from a Tiny Island. It wasn't military power that made Britain the strongest empire in the world, it was how they divided nations and pitted tribes against each other.
