Go in expecting historical Indiana Jones-esque type film

did you finally get hold of how long the runtime was?

>Lawrence
>Arab

me in the back

>Sykes-Picot I am prince Faisal.

That's every hollywood adaption ever made. I think the casting was pretty spot on.

>trusting gay historians

If I took Damascus would you die?

he was also a manlet, whereas the actor was like 6'6

Officially he was "asexual", which was what you would call yourself if you were gay at a time when gay sex was a felony. He might even have been celibate but I find it very unlikely that we wasn't attracted to men at all.

It would be extremely haram.

You're a big shariff?

He didn’t. If you read the autobio, the Turk wanted to rayp but after the goons finished bashing him, he was too bloody to bother raping. People see the movie and assume that the movie is hinting he was raped without being explicit because of 60s cultural mores. In truth the movie is just showing that there was a homomasochistic element (when you see the Turk standing and watching).

He allegedly used to get young guys to come to his house and beat him up.

Sadistic I mean, although Lawrence was into homomasochism.

"A man can be what he wants, but he can't want what he wants." is probably the best piece of advice in cinema.

This simple truth goes over the heads of lots of autists who listen way to much to what society tells them they're supposed to do with their lives and forget that they either naturally like something or they don't, they can't 'decide' to like doing something just because it would be convenient to. Seriously, think this over hard if you haven't already. You will live an awful and unsatisfying life if you fight against this reality.

He hired an actual retired british army guy to beat him with a cane or something bdsm style, im not even sure why there was a guy trained to do this when they had long abandoned corporal punishment but whatever lol

he wrote a lot of letters about some egyptian guy he worked with

>that one creepy passagein his book
You don’t know that though. He could have just been weird.
I hate how people think every weird guy in history was secretly gay. Not saying he was put gay, just saying you don’t know.
I get it a lot Becuase I’m weird but 100% pussy man, but I have to /convince/ random guy men that I am straight.
It’s fucking annoying. You fags don’t know the government trade rights to fashion and weird habits

Of course he denied being butt raped in his bio, would you want the world to know that about you?

We have some other reports that suggest he confessed to his close friends later that he did actually get raped, there's still some grounds for doubt but it is the general consensus that he probably was raped.

I read the first few pages of his book (I was like 12, I lost interest okay) and right off the bat there was a passage about the arab soldiers violently butt fucking each other and he defends them "destroying each other's bodies" by claiming that the women of the area were diseased and disgusting. Sounds like gay logic to me.

From the 7 pillars of wisdom:

The Arab was by nature continent; and the use of universal marriage had nearly abolished irregular courses in his tribes. The public women of the rare settlements we encountered in our months of wandering would have been nothing to our numbers, even had their raddled meat been palatable to a man of healthy parts. In horror of such sordid commerce our youths began indifferently to slake one another's few needs in their own clean bodies a cold convenience that, by comparison, seemed sexless and even pure. Later, some began to justify this sterile process, and swore that friends quivering together in the yielding sand with intimate hot limbs in supreme embrace, found there hidden in the darkness a sensual co−efficient of the mental passion which was welding our souls and spirits in one flaming effort.

Of course he was gay. So what? You can be gay and still lead a revolt.

Damn, poor Lawrence. I always thought it was just people taking implied subtext from the movie.

holy fuck, that's the one I was talking about!

>watch movie
>open scene shows him dying
Ruined the entire movie. I turned it off after that.
