Sophie is "meh" on
The English Patient
ngl, it was hard to finish. it just didn't hold my attention for long 🤷🏽♀️ also, it's so sexist! like the main dude says "i h8 ownership" right after they fck the 1st time, BUT THEN! after a long affair he says "I WANT THE THINGS WHICH ARE MINE, WHICH BELONG TO ME"

Watched across multiple days which pulled me out of the story
But the story doesn’t hold too much attention

The rich complexity of Minghella's approach finds an incomparable balance between classical storytelling and a modern formal treatment, and therein realizes one of the most enduring, beloved, and unique romances ever to come out of Hollywood.

Good movie. Interesting in general. Incredible acting and nice back and forth. Got a bit boring at some points. Too long, a bit repetitive and predictable. But good in general

Ugh, Netflix, why must you use [speaking arabic] instead of using the existing translation that was included when it was released?
Anyway, I expected some tragic WWII love story, but what type it would be exactly kept me guessing. At first I thought the patient would be Hana’s boyfriend and he’d picked up the accent as a result of damage to his mouth, but that was pretty quickly disproven; next was a generic nurse-and-soldier story, but that didn’t quite fit either. The reveal of him a Hungarian Nazi was… yikes, and the sanitatization of his story even worse. If this were about another war, another man, maybe it would be romantic, but this was the story of a Nazi dressed up in a Gatsby-esque love triangle, and nothing about Nazis can ever be separated from their atrocities.
Even without the Nazism of it all, the whole thing was incredibly tedious and dull. Why did I have to wait three hours to learn the blonde died over something completely unrelated to the war, for a dying man to die, and for two people extremely affected by the war to want to spare his life anyway? For a movie often described as an epic, it’s anything but.
I will admit the cinematography is beautiful though.

My Rating: 9/10
Nominated for 12 Oscar’s and won 9. LOVED the cinematography throughout the film. Ralph Fiennes and Kristin Scott Thomas had AMAZING chemistry. Great storyline as well.
