Hannibal (2013-2015)

tbh I’m never not thinking about how lawrence of arabia tricked the audience into thinking the white dude would be the moral heart and center of the movie, but nope! it’s ali!!! he literally becomes the audience surrogate by the end of act 1, and he’s definitely the moral and heart of the movie by act 2. our heart breaks because his heart breaks. lawrence is the main character, but ali is the sympathetic figure of the film in the end.

Basically Sherif Ali and Lawrence
