(no subject)
love story subplot/text in Lawrence of Arabia (best picture 1963), Lawrence + Ali
notice: leaning in. barrier between. hand on pole. how hard lawrence is trying to impress ali. how much ali wants lawrence to kiss him. the intensity of their love.
ali slays this other dude. love at first sight.
Ali: "Is this your cup."
Lawrence: "Yes."
Ali: "Then I will drink from it."
Lawrence calls ali a murderer because he's playing hard to get. we know how Ali knows, and what is (basically) explicitly stated later, that Lawrence has no problem with some death now and then.
it is hard for these two men to articulate their emotions. Flirtation ensues. Ali steals Lawrence's compass and threatens to take it away FOREVER.
Ali: "Have you no fear, English?"
Lawrence: "My fear is none of your concern."
cold shoulder, heated loins. Ali grips his whip and suppresses a grin. And rides off. Will they meet again?
Lawrence is compelled to see who's behind him.
It's Ali.
The situation is tense because they haven't fucked yet.
Yes their elbows touch throughout the scene, despite Lawrence's "hatred."
coming to terms with their attraction.
lawrence also has a pair of boy toys, though they are not the subject of this analysis.
except to say that Ali is jealous of them (he's whipping them in this shot.)
So then Lawrence rides off into the desert and it seems likely he'll die. Ali screams and comes near tears, trying to stop him. The scene is day-for-nighty/underexposy though. The best I can offer in this setting is Ali's distraught face.
Ali stays distraught. He hopes against hope that Lawrence will come back. He feels alone, unloved.
Here comes Lawrence, lookin for Ali. Many offer him water but he does not accept.
Ali walks toward Lawrence. They lock eyes.
Lawrence responds to no one. He only stares at Ali.
Ali feels good enough to show he feels good.
Lawrence drinks Ali's water.
Lawrence sleeps in Ali's bed, though other beds where offered.
Lawrence later wakes up, wearing different clothes. what im suggesting is, they fucked.
Ali tells Lawrence with his eyes that Lawrence can trust him.
Lawrence is all, my father's a Lord and he didn't marry my mom. He comes near tears and rolls over into the fetal position.
Ali is all, shhh go to sleep baby. I'll name you a better name.
please notice: Ali dressing Lawrence. Lawrence in white and Ali in black.(IM SAYING YES A WEDDING VIBE) Ali's lingering hands and stares.
END OF PART ONE. UPCOMING SCENES (may) INCLUDE (if i feel like it): killing peeps, imploring looks, Lawrence's rape, Ali's real tears and confession of love.
