The "Lawrence"/"Zhivago" crossover we need

Lawrence and his thoughts

inspired by conversation with @theevilunderthesun

Because I must be a river to my gay friends people

Auda Abu Tayi

Man of the desert should have known better than to fall for a mirage.

One of the cleverest things in Lawrence I think - I’m not sure whose idea it was, probably John Box - as you know Peter is given these robes fairly early on when he’s accepted by the Arabs, and then the rot starts to set in. And what they did was they gradually changed the material of which his Arab clothes were made, and they made it thinner and thinner until it was just muslin. At the end, he looked almost ghost-like, because the clothes he was wearing were the exact copies of the rich silk he wore at the beginning but they were almost transparent. It gave a kind of faded look which worked a treat. Nobody ever spots it. - David Lean
