Movie Review
The all-around winner of the 1996 Academy Awards, "The English Patient" is a timeless love story set against the bleak conditions of World War II.

February 24, 2004This movie has made such an emotinal impact on me.I liked the war part,but the love encounters where something else.The actors were suprisingly so charismatic.There is a scene in the tub,no special hairstyles,an old piece of a bathrobe,and a taste of forbidden love.It gives you an incredible amount of reality,and there are not many movies of these days like that.I can't belive some other peoples reviews.The movie has all the elements of a "true passion soul-mates".
