Two Arabian Knights (1927)

It's been sung that "You can't hurry love . . . "

[6/10 · 20 February 2019]

. . . but in some parts of the World there's no penalty for cutting it up into 10,000 little pieces and burying it, reveals TWO ARABIAN KNIGHTS. "Shevket" behaves just as falsely, cruelly, and sadistically as a Saudi Crown Prince throughout TWO ARABIAN KNIGHTS, but avoids the short arms of the regional "Law" just as easily. (It's a known fact that when an Arm of Justice reaches for a renegade mutinous scoff-law in this particular Earthly sector, the perfidious miscreant simply lops it off!) Even though "Mizra" makes it clear that she has no inkling of love for Shevket, it takes TWO ARABIAN KNIGHTS from outside her "religion" to rescue her. "Turkish Delight" is locally defined as forcing unwilling young females to make your babies. How can so-called "nations" which serve as regional hosts for the shrines of counter-intuitive parochial cults be allowed to turn their global network of "embassies" into FARGO-like "chop shops"? you might ask. TWO ARABIAN KNIGHTS goes a long way toward revealing a solution to this still-relevant conundrum, as it details Shevket's duplicity, brutish instincts, and ultimate cowardice in the face of the triumphant Progressive Values displayed by TWO ARABIAN KNIGHTS.
