¡°The English Patient,¡± winner of nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best supporting Actress was indeed a masterpiece. ...
The badly burnt English patient, Almasy is then introduced, who is placed in the care of army nurses. ... The patient¡¯s memory slowly comes back to him. From this scene on, therefore, the lives of both past and present of the patient is constantly altered. ... The monastery scenes were always calm yet painful to watch the burnt, leather-skinned patient, whereas the desert scenes were full of socializing parties and beautiful bronze sand. The charismatic (the English patient) actor and the elegant and extremely beautiful (Katherine) actress were also conspicuously contrasting from the all-dying, depressing scenes of the monastery.
The patient¡¯s memory is dominated by Katherine, the wife of a fellow explorer. ...
Of course the physical pain of war is saturated throughout the movie by the badly burnt, almost faceless English patient and a mysterious visitor called Caravaggio.
