" BECAUSE I HAD THE WRONG NAME" - The English Patient
I absolutely love this beautiful film. I saw it many years ago and was too young to really appreciate everything it has going for it I guess. So, if you happen to be one of those who have not watched this since the first time, or one of those who seem to have such negative feelings about it, please do yourself a favor and rewatch this. If you have never watched it, DO SO NOW. No one can really miss what a beautiful film this is, can they? I have read every review here because even that brings back so much of the intense beauty of this film. This cast could not have been better chosen. Everyone seems like the "real character" and of course Fiennes is always great. It never even occurred to me to find anything offensive about the fact that, especially during a war, people had affairs. This is just plain truth. However, maybe the real problem with those who find this offensive is that you want this couple to have it all. You don't care that this affair is illicit. You understand the affair. You want these lovers to be able to be together. This couple should be together. (She's married to a man who is so emotionally frail he would rather see her dead than allow her to be happy with another man. So this marriage was in trouble anyway.) But this film is about far more than just this affair. There is so much pain and suffering involved in all this. At times it is hard to watch....you feel so desperate for these people. Even so, this is one of the greatest tragic romances in film, I think. I watch this over and over in any given year. Don't take anybody's word for it....watch it for your own benefit. You won't be sorry if you do.

BEST MOVIE EVER!
I love this movie! Ralph Fiennes is amazing, and the story very compelling. Beware though, it is known to cause welling of the eyes.
