The English Patient - Maybe I Did ... Read Me to Sleep

[@BernhardRottweiler]

"I know you will come and carry me out into the palace of winds.
That's all I've wanted - to walk in such a place with you, with friends, on earth without maps...”
Perhaps the most beautiful line I've heard in a film.
While she knows she'll die in that cave, she also knows he'll come back to get her.

I must say I watched this film at theatre when it was released in 1997. At that point, I was too young and I didn't know anything about love and loss. However, I perfectly understood how deeply love towards another human being can be. It's truly a masterpiece.

[@kristinayates1]

Beautifully put. Same with me. As they say .... youth is wasted on the young.

[@lucyclink9163]

I was so moved and transfixed when I first saw this film. It still moves me to tears.

[@christianjohnson3061]

One of the best movies ever made. The ending is so sad.

[@svetlanadegtyareva5]

The ending is beautiful and awful at the same time...a masterpiece..

You must be doing it wrong

@@NotQuiteFirst 🤣 quote from The English Patient.

[@jelena7440]

It's a quote that perfectly describes love for someone who we are not supposed to love.

[@gwo-roaglee7698]

This is such a powerful and romantic movie. I am hoping more people would watch this movie again given the situation we have today.

[@NotQuiteFirst]

Damn, this is so moving. I can't believe I used to think this was boring when I was young!

[@ionutzamfir5794]

maybe one of the best movies ever made...along with a river runs through it etc......

Watching this movie is like entering a gallery of Masterpieces, a long promenade of paintings; as you pass by each scene, you fall under a spell, as you pause because of wonder, stopping for a moment, but long enough to examine each image, and acknowledging the mystery - how can such beauty be so profoundly expressed; why are we so captured, caged almost, by the need to adopt the world we are seeing; a feeling of total appreciation for the simple stunning reality of our existence - that we are moved most by the power & beauty of Love. Each scene, no, each still of this film is painted with such care, with such precision, that the canvass invariably blossoms before our eyes like a field of bright flowers, a carpet of colour that seems to never end. Against the aesthetic, the story of this movie incorporates a profound understanding & knowledge of the complexity & fragility of human love. And through it all, it never judges the characters - their flaws, their failings, their betrayals, their losses, their search for love - it just keeps moving us along a road of many twists & turns & asks you to remember them, to know that underlying all, they wanted to Love & be loved. This Movie, simply put, is a Masterpiece and any serious student of Cinema should study this work, as one would study a Rembrandt or Monet. As we watch, it surely will find us wanting, reaching, longing to go back to a place in our very own existence, where we felt love as profound as the love portrayed in the English Patient. As the movie concludes, many of us will be struck by the need to continue searching the very depths of our emotions, and from that search, perhaps it is what we will find, through those most fundamental of human qualities - love, compassion, kindness, forgiveness, freedom, hope, perfection, understanding, patience - a desire to embrace & accept the source of these human qualities: GOD.

"We are the real countries."
Oh oh oh... 30 years passed since that was written, and I wonder what we collectively remember.
I remember that as true, and the keeping of that as wise.

[@user-xv1gn7yk3t]

Masterpiece,
Labelled as a chick flick - how very wrong, I swerved it for a long time, now with regrets I wish I had seen at the cinema,
Music, cinematography, dialogue, for shame i have never seen it on the big screen.
Previous comment about; youth is wasted on the young,- what a true a statement as ever passed anyone's lips.
My days.

[@CDcooper3876]

The way I see it is Katherine killed the Clifton’s . Almashy and Geoffrey were just fools in her web

[@jakedrago7805]

The only complaint I have about this movie is I wish they took more time to develop Geoffrey Clifton’s character a bit more .They certainly had the right man to do it . He was a key character in the plot and much more than just a jealous husband whose wife was getting railed by the titular main character . He was sent on assignment to Africa on a intel gathering mission under the guise being a tourist exploring the desert he only took Katherine (who he adored )along because he wanted to spend time with her since they were newly wed . The only reason he left them alone in the desert was that he was ordered to by the crown. He never wanted to go to Africa any more than she did .

I love this film but cant stand the end. This film is about Almasy, who was really a spy for Germany. He actually died in the 1950s

[@phillipproussier3723]

Did you read the novel?

@@phillipproussier3723 No l did not read the novel. l researched him on Google.
