Rescuing Gasim From The Desert - Peter O'Toole | Lawrence Of Arabia | Silver Scenes

[PhantoM]

This is I think the most wholesome thing I’ve ever watched.

[freddie-fucknmercury]

The vast emptiness of the desert at sunrise when gasim is walking by himself is just beyond words.

I'm from Germany and some Years ago I flew to Sri Lanka. We flew over Saudi Arabia and it was incredible. Even from 11km height you saw nothing than hundreds of kilometers desert in every direction. I never saw anything more impressive.

Gasim walks knowing full well his chances are slim. Basically zero. He walks in the hope that there will be a miracle.

Thank you for posting this. One of my favorite scenes from my favorite movie, and most definitely my favorite soundtrack.

This is one of the best

[JamesLaserpimpWalsh]

The trick is to not to care if it hurts.

Une scène monumental et la musique en plus. Waouh

[worldofhunter]

5:09 The amount of goosebumps I got when the triumph of the music comes in. Greatest film of all time.

Ali‘s big rant calling him a blasphemer - “Aqaba? WAS IT AQABA???!!!” - and ending with that over-the-top yell is just one of the best movie moments ever. Omar Sharif just dials it up to 11 and it's serious and yet so funny at the same time.

O'Toole was a gigantic talent. Brian Blessed berated him in the strongest language (to his face, in later life) for effectively pissing his talent against the wall.

Love the music score. Lightly tapping snare and kettle drum bass notes

[ifuknjk]

[markberman]

[florenciagondra-izol]

Impresionante película "Lawrence de Arabia"!!👍💖

[KeithWickliffe]

Aqaba...oh Aqaba. It's not a place.. it's a promise.

[landochabod]

5:32 the best shot in movie-making history

[rejmons]

This desert is a beautiful, magnificent place, but that's a very deadly beauty. You feel it in every moment! Walking through it is the kind of hazard game: One mistake and you will be certain dead. The desert in "Duna II" movie is huge and magnificent, but it's just a huge sandbox for kids. And that's what makes the difference between those two films...

[gerardjones]

read his book, the 7 pillars of wisdom, it makes the movie seem like disneyland.

Geoffrey Moorhouse who wrote the Fearful Void describes the misery to the body, spirit, and mind of riding on a Camel over great distances. Tea being essential as a restorative. He was not able to complete his transit of the Sahara. He prepared well, even acquiring a special sextant for navigation. Yet it was the chafing, sweat, and boils that did him in.
