Is there any important lessons people in the {CURRENT YEAR} can take away from Lawrence of Arabia?

Turks are faggots and do buttsex with other men.

Arabs literally did nothing wrong
arabs will continue to kill one another forever and there is nothing you can do about it
Arabs were a series of tribal non-state entities less than a century ago and expecting them to behave like a normal country is naive and dangerous.

There is one....
Use inter-Arab/Muslim tribal rivalries to take down an Islamic caliph
And always remember:
>NO PRISONERS!
>NO PRISONERS!
Just kill them all

How to actually make a good film

Sykes Picot did nothing wrong

Mr Hashemite got three Kingdoms out of it, Hedjaz, Iraq & Transjordan. Not bad for a local mayor, even if the French wouldn't give him Syria.

I mean shit, yeah it's rough that the line was drawn with a ruler but what did the arabs want? How do we divvy up land, when those fuckers would say anything for an extra meter of desert? How do we decide which nomadic bedouin tribe would be better at ruling than another?
I've never had a good explanation of a better way they could have done it. An arbitrary boundary for the convenience of the colonial powers is as good as you can hope for.

NOTHING IS WRITTEN!!!
Fuck, I love this movie so much. I am going to watch it now.
I'm reading Seven Pillars of Wisdom right now, actually. It's a good book and you should read it. It's his autobiographcal account of what happened.

I've read about half of it, but that fucking british cadence pisses me off.

>English as written by the English pisses me off.
As expected of an American; a shame then, but what of it, says I; regardless you are a fool.

Wasn't prepared for that, almost choked on coffee

I know picking on roaches is all the rage here, but dismantling the Ottoman Empire was a mistake.
