They were real people. “[Farraj and Daud] were an instance of the eastern boy and boy affection which the segregation of women made inevitable. Such friendships often led to manly loves of a depth and force beyond our flesh-steeped conceit. When innocent they were hot and unashamed. If sexuality entered, they passed into a give and take, unspiritual relation, like marriage.” - Seven Pillars of Wisdom by T. E. Lawrence; p. 237 I don't know if the quick sand or exploding blasting cap stories are accurate? I don't think so. There are some references to them being around during peace time. It's been many years since I read the SPW.

Even after Daud’s death, Farraj doesn’t blame Lawrence at all and still looks up to him and turns to him for a sense of safety in Cairo. It’s an important fact that they’re orphans because they see Lawrence as a surrogate father figure, a role he naturally fits into and doesn’t mind filling. And he clearly grieves their deaths long after the fact; killing Farraj makes him act more unstable. And I think he blamed the Turks for their deaths and was trying to avenge them (as well as his own rape) during the Damascus massacre.

What makes this scene so moving is its context. After Lawrence and the Arabs had taken Aqaba, he decided to cross the Sinai with his two Arab boy-servants to personally notify General HQ in Cairo of the victory. On the way, one of the two boys, Daud, fell into quicksand and died, much to Lawrence's distress. The decision to bring Farraj into the officers' club reflects his guilt over this (to him) unnecessary death -- and his hatred of his fellow officers' racism.

the other important thing here is that as much as this is a triumphant moment for lawrence it also heightens his egotism -- he brings farraj in there because he wants to stick it in the eye of the british officers, but he thinks nothing about how humiliated and embarrassed this kid must feel at being surrounded by older jeering foreign men, especially after having just been through the trauma of watching his best friend die

Well that may be true but Lawrence knew that Farraj was extremely hungry, thirsty, and in need of a comfortable place to sleep after what he went through. So in this scene he’s prioritizing Farraj’s needs over his own reputation amongst the officers. The very reason he is sticking it to the officers is because they are prejudiced toward the Arabs and Lawrence wants to show them, by taking care of Farraj, that the Arabs are just as human as anyone else.

@@kyeo77 well considering they were in a place Farraj had likely never been to before, perhaps Farraj wanted to stay by Lawrence’s side regardless of where Lawrence went, and of course Lawrence had to go in there to report to Brighton. We don’t hear what they said to each other while riding into town before they drifted off to sleep. Farraj clearly feels safe with Lawrence and Lawrence keeps a protective arm around him.

Sept. 17, 2019---Remember reading some years ago that back in the mid 1930's, early 40's in India, there was a sign on the grass outside the officers club. It read no dogs or enlisted allowed on the grass. And notice it said dogs first.

Amazing scene this, on so many levels (disclaimer, im english).. we have many faults, arrogance, sticklers for rules & silly non written regulations but what the film managed to encapture at 2 min 33 pure essence of being english... we have taken Akabar... the generals dawning realisation that this bedraggled scamp of an Officer has achieved the unthinkable... the ability to as we say ‘forget about all that’ about the rules and so forth, this is one of the English character traits i still look up to, guy puts his back out, does the unthinkable, saves hundreds if not thousands of uk troops lives and now, despite the rules.. he wants a bed.. for his friend, the General respects that, admires it even, the only thing i think that could have improved this scene is if the General said (after hearing the news) s ‘put it on my tab’ (uk speak for put it on my bill). Either this or.. the General saying make it ‘three’ as the General takes a sip also.. great scene and great acting from all. Peter O toole, god how i wish i could have gone for a beer with this man...

A remarkable scene, A REMARKABLE film, and unlike most epic films of that era, there is never anything added for cinematic effect. Sir David lean followed the narrative of TE Lawrence's epic adventure in Arabia "Seven Pillars of Wisdom" almost to the letter. There has been nothing added in the film, that probably didn't happen during the life of Lawrence, whilst he was amongst the bedouin tribesmen. Maybe he didn't sip lemonade in the Officers bar here in Cairo, but it was here, that he did meet with General Allenby, and went on to continue the fight against the Turkish empire. Truly one of the classic films, just magnificent to watch and behold

Shot onto 65mm film the quality is the standard set 50 years ago and still unequalled even today. When transferring onto blu ray Sony struggled immensely and had to lower the quality before encoding to accommodate the blu ray technology. There has been no television built to do the film justice and only a handful of cinemas around the world which have the equipment to show such a high resolution film. Still the envy of Hollywood over 50 years after release.

You need to see 70 mm print Avatar put on two or shot onto IMAX film stock. Avatar and Lawrence of Arabia are two completely different films however stunning beauty of IMAX film stock I believe is better than the 65 m m they use for Lawrence of Arabia.

The irony is that Lawrence (or Orrens if you like) - have seen more death and blood and guts and shown more true soldiery than those desk clerks will probably ever see. They should be saluting Lawrence and Faraj, not belittling them and treating them with scorn and derision... but such is life, I'm afraid, and such is the military. But we know who the real heroes are, God bless them ! xx
