you weren’t being told shit, ronald. you were WATCHING
"When [Lawrence of Arabia] was in production, screenwriter Michael Wilson was not paying much attention to Lawrence's sexuality. Wilson was more concerned with the theme of colonialism versus nationalism, and Lawrence's scholastic pursuits. This clearly displeased Lean, who wanted to paint more of a controversial character study, albeit on a large canvas, than Wilson had so far achieved. As far as one can judge from Wilson's notes, Lean had two overriding concerns - Lawrence's sexual make-up, and the scene that he would film in Petra. As far as the former is concerned, Wilson noted that Lean had, revealingly, compared the Lawrence-Ali relationship to Brief Encounter, his 1945 film about an unconsummated love affair starring Trevor Howard and Celia Johnson." - Brief Encounters: Lesbians and Gays in British Cinema 1930 – 1971 by Stephen Bourne

UPDATED!:
Reblogs are back on! Turned them off briefly so I could update. I kept working on this last night after posting it and refreshed the post so all the pages are new and updated to add some things i missed/fixed formatting/added page numbers to lessen confusion. Part 2 coming soon. Thanks for all the love on this!! This has been my obsession for the past two and a half weeks, does it show?

THIS IS IMPERFECT! I know I'm probably missing a lot of stuff so if you catch something please let me know and I'll fix and either reupload or just switch the pages out as I go! Some parts are paraphrased for instances where the guys go off on tandems in the middle of a speech (which is....often.) This is crazy long already and there's still 10+ pages left so I figured I'd do this in chunks. Of course, this is still ongoing so I'll be cataloguing more events as they come. I only just reached the Royal Rumble 25 entry today but I'm so tired i need a break. Feel free to use this or print it out if you want but like I said there may be errors within, so maybe wait until part 2 is out in full.
aye aye, captain @froggerland
