Peter O'Toole on the set of Lawrence of Arabia

Lawrence of Arabia (1962) directed by David Lean

Peter O'Toole as T. E. Lawrence

Omar Sharif as Sherif Ali

Anthony Quinn as Auda Abu Tayi

Gamil Ratib as Majid

[orlaite]

One aspect of Lean's filmmaking in particular I'm soo obessed with are how he has characters enter and leave the story; Ali's entrance into the movie through the mirage and his vanishing into the dark after his goodbye with Lawrence and quarrel with Auda, the panning shot to Colonel Brighton in the gorge, the panning shot that reveals Auda's back when Lawrence is running around in his sherif robes, Pasha's "death", the last shot of Lara's back, "yes, that's Strelnikov", Dr. Aziz rising out of the dust; even Ryan's Daughter which was mid had Major Doryan's introduction (his only good scene). His sense for conveying the most amount of emotion and character through photography and editing instead of relying on spoken word to alert the audience to the importance of what's happening ("people don't remember words, they remember pictures") just makes for the most insane introductions and goodbyes it's sickeninggggg.

Auda abu Tayi : [Grabs Ali's arm] He is your friend?

Sherif Ali : Take your hand away.

Auda abu Tayi : You love him.

Sherif Ali : No, I fear him.

Auda abu Tayi : Then why do you weep?

Sherif Ali : If I fear him, who love him, how must he fear himself who hates himself?

Ugh I love this movie so much. I need Omar to win so bad

Propaganda

Omar Sharif (Funny Girl, Lawrence of Arabia)—Dark and thrilling, strange and sweet, honey in your ear, spice in your mouth, he was Sherif Ali the Arab, Yuri Zhivago the Russian, Colonel Grau the German and much much much more, here's to the one and only Omar Sharif---- Pharaoh of romance!!! (I'm sorry Im stealing lyrics from the song "Omar Sharif" but it ain't lying!)

Buster Keaton (The General, The Navigator, Sherlock Jr.)—For me Buster’s hotness comes not just from his physical beauty but in the constant surprise and contradictions of the man, he’s simultaneously delicate/rough, feminine/masculine, confident/vulnerable, 5foot5 pretty face with an unexpectedly deep voice, at first glance you think oh he’s a cute little thing and then he takes his top off and it’s Superman abs underneath. He was intensely shy in social situations but had no hesitation in jumping off the top of a building. He famously never smiled on screen* but he exudes warmth and joy and laughter. He created some of the most beautiful, intelligent movies ever made but refused to acknowledge his own genius and talent as an artist, instead maintaining that all he wanted to do was make people laugh. If he was here in reality competing in this poll he would give it 100% but he would not be at all bothered if he didn’t win. And that’s why he’s the hottest vintage man. A vote for Buster is a vote for all that is good and decent in the world 💕 (*he did smile on camera occasionally despite his own assertions to the contrary 😄)

This is one of four polls in the tournament quarterfinals. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage man.

Lawrence da Arábia (1962)

Direção: David Lean

"Por um momento desconsidere os fatos históricos retratados neste filme: o embrião da Revolução Árabe, a derrota do Império Otomano, a unificação das tribos de beduínos, a 1ª Guerra Mundial.

Esqueça também o caráter épico da fotografia de Freddie Young e da arrebatadora trilha de Maurice Jarre, a direção cirúrgica de David Lean e foquemos em Peter O’Toole, que construiu um personagem absolutamente fascinante. Seu olhos profundamente azuis, seu cabelo pastoso loiro, seu físico magérrimo de pele muito branca tomam a tela de tal maneira que é literalmente impossível desviar o olhar ou não se interessar de primeira por aquela figura peculiar.

Seu começo é pacato, idealista, usando de seu conhecimento profundo sobre “as arábias” para iniciar um inédito – e completamente desacreditado – projeto de arrebanhamento dos nômades beligerantes entre si em prol de um objetivo em comum, a derrota dos turcos que, por sua vez, beneficia a Coroa Britânica.

Vemos, vagarosamente, Lawrence construir amizades, concretizar planos, tornar-se um herói, converter-se em um assassino e um sádico em uma espiral de loucura causada pelos horrores da guerra que ele não esperava.

Ver O’Toole, com poeira dos pés a cabeça, sentado em seu dromedário com olhar fixo no horizonte, pensando na morte de Daud, um rapaz nômade que o serve e, depois, no terço final, vê-lo liderar um sanguinário ataque a turcos em fuga que acabaram de massacrar uma vila é de cortar o coração, mas é um caminho perfeitamente crível e lógico, ainda que, de certa forma, o caráter puramente heroico de seus atos acabe se dissipando.

Omar Sharif, vivendo Sherif Ali, o beduíno da tribo Harita e primeiro verdadeiro amigo e admirador de Lawrence é igualmente impressionante em seu papel.

É o selvagem que ele odeia, mas em quem acaba se transformando ao ponto de Sherif passar a temer Lawrence e o monstro em que se tornou. A transformação de Omar Sharif, seria possível dizer, é inversamente proporcional à de Peter O’Toole, cada um caminhando em direções opostas e nunca realmente se encontrando, mas sempre se respeitando.

Há, ainda, Anthony Quinn como o espalhafatoso Auda abu Tayi, líder da tribo Howeitat, inimiga da Harita. Quinn, mexicano de origem, é camaleônico em seu papel, ainda que a marca do “tipo de personagem” que sempre fez – forte, esbravejador, bárbaro – esteja lá bem presente.

No espectro oposto, há Alec Guiness como o Príncipe Faisal, aliado dos britânicos e que se tornaria rei da Síria. Guiness o constrói de maneira reservada, discreta, mas extremamente astuta, exatamente como um político costuma ser.

Confesso ter sentido estranheza com o ator britânico no papel do príncipe árabe, mas, no final das contas, ele acaba funcionando, talvez por sua presença ser pontual.

Lawrence da Arábia é conhecido por suas várias inexatidões tanto históricas como em relação aos personagens. Seria um erro fatal esperar um documentário de um filme de ficção e, mesmo que o viés imperialista dos britânicos esteja presente e Lawrence seja apresentado como um salvador, o espectador precisa olhar além desses aspectos e focar no que Peter O’Toole fez ali.

Este filme é uma obra-prima, um feito único, tão amplo quanto intimista que moverá o espectador que estiver disposto a seguir Al Lawrence pelas arábias."

Auda abu Tayi: He is your friend? [...] You love him.

Sherif Ali: No, I fear him.

Auda abu Tayi: Then why do you weep?

Sherif Ali: If I fear him, who love him, how must he fear himself who hates himself?

Haha I knew the book was somewhat inspired by T.E. Lawrence's book, but I just watched this little clip of Denis Villeneuve talking abt it, and I'm really happy to hear him talk about the film being an inspiration, bcs man, they feel soooo similar to me. Not copying or anything, but there's a lot of scenes in Dune Pt 2 where I'm like, wow this really feels like a nod to Lawrence of Arabia. Just the cinematography itself even!

//spoilers a bit, but yeah the scenes where they ambush the spice harvesters really reminds me of the scenes in LoA where they ambush trains. The scene where Paul is giving a hype speech to the Fremen before the big part at the end reminds me of some scene in LoA. Paul's duel with Jamis kinda reminds of Lawrence having to kill the one guy after a dispute between the tribes. Paul wearing the stillsuit and Fremen robes just like Lawrence wears the Sherif robes. The Fremen rallying around Paul, just like the Arabs with Lawrence. The whole deconstuction of the white savior narrative. Paul and the Fremen taking over Arrakis like Lawrence and the Arabs taking over Damascus, albeit probably more successfully in Dune. Lawrence riding the camels is kinda like Paul and the sand worm. Lmfao does this mean Chani would be Ali since LoA doesn't have a romance plot? The person who's closest to the protag but becomes disillusioned with them after they go too far. Who would Stilgar be? I guess maybe Auda Abu Tayi???

Wow now that I'm writing them out, they really do feel so similar 😭😭 but it honestly just strengthens my love for both and makes me want to rewatch both. Like Denis Villeneuve said in the vid, LoA is a very foundational film, and it's also about the same topic Dune is inspired by, so it does make a lot of sense why they feel so similar. And its nice as well bcs I thought LoA was a very impressive film, so it's nice to see a movie in the modern day that feels just as impressive! Also man now I really wish I could see Lawrence in theaters :( I would love to see it in 70mm, it sounds so cool

Paul Atreides is sooooo T.E. Lawrence coded
