Lawrence of Arabia/YMMV


Lawrence of Arabia

  • Crazy Awesome: Lawrence. Do we really need to explain this one?
  • Crowning Music of Awesome: Maurice Jarre's sweeping orchestral score (originally recorded by the London Symphony) has long been regarded as one of the best in cinema history.
  • Ensemble Darkhorse: Omar Sharif went on to play Mr. Fanservice as a Russian in Dr. Zhivago.
  • Fridge Brilliance: O'Toole was primarily a stage actor before this, and it shows. But think about the way in which Lawrence is trying to create a larger-than-life persona for himself, and suddenly his grandiose way of carrying himself makes perfect sense.
  • Funny Aneurysm Moment: Daud, Farraj, and Gasim are all introduced as comedic characters. Good luck with that.
  • Ho Yay: Lawrence and Ali, intentionally so.
  • Memetic Outfit: Lawrence's lovely white Arab clothes are the outfit for any hero crossing the desert. Granted, that's the practical outfit for crossing the desert, but still.
