The film "The English Patient" is a novel adaptation of the film, the film co-starring Ralph Fiennes, Kristen Scott Thomas, Juliet Binoche and other co-stars, telling a love that transcends morality to affect the war situation, although the story of the male protagonist falling in love with someone else's wife seems a bit excessive in the sharing of bacteria, but the romance and pain shown in the film is still difficult to forget.
During World War II, a British plane was shot down by the Germans in the Egyptian desert, and the local people sent the seriously wounded and disfigured pilot to the British medical station, where he lost part of his memory and could only be called "English patient", and the story begins with him and a female nurse who volunteered to take care of him, Hanna (Juliet Binoche).
Hanna voluntarily stays in the area to care for the seriously injured and endangered wounded, and the film, along with the memories of the wounded and the exchange of characters who appear later, gives us a special love story of the archaeologist Earl Emmaus during the war years, who was originally a borderless man with no intention of participating in the war, but the arrival of the pilot who mapged Egypt for the British Army and his wife Catherine (Christine Scott Thomas kristin Scott thomas) made everything change. Emmaus fell hopelessly in love with the beautiful intellectual girl, and the girl fell in love with such an elegant gentleman because of her proficiency in literature and music.
But everything developed unexpectedly during the war years, Catherine and her husband crashed in front of Emmaus' eyes, Emmaus traveled through the desert for her lover for three days to find the British base, but because of her name, the British army considered german, had no choice but to escape and trade with the German army with a confidential military map, and finally returned to the desert with German gasoline, and Catherine was already breathing in the cave, but the letters she left behind expressed her endless love for Emmaus.
At the end of the film, when World War II is over and Nurse Hanna should return to his life, Emmaus asks Nurse Hanna to end his life by injecting himself with an overdose of the potion, and before he dies, Hannah reads for him the last love letter that Catherine wrote at the last moment of his life. Hanna is moving towards a new life, and this love of Emmaus will be silent again.
In addition to the plot of the male protagonist and his wife cheating, the highlights of this movie are still many, as for the matter of cheating, foreign views are still slightly different from us, and I will not say it here.
The film's depictions of war and love are excellent, and both Emmaus and Catherine's love and nurse Hanna's love with Captain Minesweeper are frustrating and reveal the characteristics of that period.
In the era when life is not worth much, love is even more precious, some lovers die on the battlefield can not be known, and the captain of the minesweeper even after the end of the war to risk the risk of eliminating the crisis left over from the local area, this feeling is naturally not happy, after all, no one can accept their lovers risking their lives every day to work.
The scene between Emmaus and Catherine is even more complicated, a man who actually gives important military information to the Nazi German army for his lover, what a complicated emotion, braving the world, it cannot be said that he did the right thing, but he is indeed a sentient man.
This is a very controversial movie, the value of the film is not very appropriate in the eyes of the Chinese, coupled with the existence of torture, burns and other restrictive elements in the movie, so this movie is only suitable for adult audiences to watch, originally this kind of love is more suitable for women to watch, but the burns on the face of the male protagonist are really scary, sharing bacteria do not put burns on the map, as for the specific look or not to see this film depends on how everyone considers.
