| Great film, great love.
--Comment on the film English Patient A love story free from vulgarity, three hours’ film which makes me never bored. It is in such a complex feeling that I enter the distant world of the romantic love fifty years ago. The story happens with the World War Two as its background. There is no hero or saint. All the people in the film are the victims of the war. When they face the danger of death, they have little ability to decide their behavior. From ultra-marriage love to giving NAZI the map of the city, even the revenge of the peers. Nation, moralities seem to have the least effect on the people in the film. The truth of humanity shows up. I think this is just what the film moves us so much. When we say the World War Two is the disaster of the world and the human, we usually mean there are so many innocent people killed during the war. We seldom realize what the war did is more than killing people, in fact, the war completely change the life of all people in the same time, even for those scholars in the film. For example, in a peaceful world like today, Amatsu and Katherine’s love will lead to family problems at most, but during the war, it leads to death, betrayal and misunderstanding, and revenge after several years. Also because of the war, Amastu is considered a German, so he couldn’t lend a car even if he wants to rescue his lover from the dark cave. Which is more important, the punishment to a German captive (in fact, he is English), or the life of a woman? With war as its background, the film gives me deep impression that love is the most important in people’s life. For love, Amatsu gave his map to NAZI in order to rescue his lover as soon as possible; for love, Hanna and Jip came together and departed. Comparing with the modern world, I can’t help wondering whether it is only in a world lack of materialization that love can be true and pure. For the film itself, I think the most successful part is its music, which has great influence on the audiences’ feeling. In the film, one part is a quiet courtyard, while the other is the wild Sahara desert; one part is the monastery crowded with trees, while the other is the desert full of sands. With the scene varying among all these parts, the music plays an important role in compounding them together. Some people call the film the modern edition of Gone With The Wind. In my personal opinion, I don’t think the two films have much common, but as both classical films deliver love story, the English Patient seems to be better than Gone With The Wind. In the world filled with action films and war films, it is a precious love experience for all the audiences in the world. ----  欢迎来我的主页
