VHS Movie Reviews of English Patient [VHS]
Movie Review: Love this movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this movie and got it at a great price -- great service - thanks!Movie Review: The English Patient
Summary: 5 Stars
Ralph Fiennes should have won the Oscar for his performance. Heartbreaking. An incredible film. Superb score by Gabriel Yared.Movie Review: Great movie, not so great DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
I love this movie and all the extras. However the quality of the DVD wasn't so great. It's like a copy of a copy, there are lines and dots that show up throughout the movie that are a little distracting. I'm disappointed with that.Movie Review: Outstanding
Summary: 5 Stars
There is no weak link in this film. For my money, Scott Thomas and Fiennes give two of the most powerful performances in motion picture history. Every gesture, every word of every exchange, feels perfect and more importantly, natural. It's amazing chemistry coupled with amazing talent. The other performances are just as strong. The score is brilliant, as is the directing, and cinematography. I often complain about films not living up to Oscar hype. This film lives up to the hype. Movie Review: From someone who adores the book..
Summary: 4 Stars
The movie really isn't that bad. It surprises me how many people have ripped the movie about, because it's honestly well made. It follows the plot of the book pretty closely but at the same time is very very different: It's poetic, but in a different way the book was.
The acting in the movie is excellent, and the flashbacks going from past to present blend together very well. If you haven't seen it, you should. If you've read the book and are afraid, like I was, hopefully this will help you. It's really not too bad.
*For those who've read the book (don't read if you haven't)*
Some things I found interesting that were different in the movie than the book were some of the twists: where you don't find out until towards the end of the book the true identity of the English Patient, you find out relatively fast in the movie. And while you know on the second page of the book the English patient's going to die, you don't know until the very end of the movie. And much as I hate to admit it, I liked Kip's exit in the movie better than in the book. I thought the reason he left in the book was sort of irrational and didn't seem like him. I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.
Summary of English Patient [VHS]
Winner of 9 Academy Awards(R), including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Supporting Actress (Juliette Binoche), this unforgettable story is the motion picture event of the year! During World War II, when a mysterious stranger (Ralph Fiennes -- SCHINDLER'S LIST) is rescued from a fiery plane crash, he is cared for by American allies unaware of the dangerous secrets of his past. Yet, as the mystery of his identity is slowly revealed, an incredible tale of passion, intrigue, and adventure unfolds! Also starring Kristin Scott Thomas (FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL) and Willem Dafoe (CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER), THE ENGLISH PATIENT is a powerful cinematic triumph sure to entertain you!Winner of nine Academy Awards and almost every critic's heart, The English Patient (based on Michael Ondaatje's prizewinning novel of love and loss during World War?II) is one of the most acclaimed films of modern times. Hana, a nurse (Juliette Binoche), tends to an archaeologist (Ralph Fiennes) who has been burnt to a crisp in a plane crash. As their relationship intensifies, he flashes back to his overwhelming passion for a married woman (Kristin Scott Thomas). Meanwhile, Hana begins a new romance with a man who defuses bombs (Naveen Andrews) and Willem Dafoe almost steals the show as the thumbless thief Caravaggio. The intricately layered flashback narrative, sounding the depths of the lovers' hearts, improves with repeated viewings--especially with the sharp picture and digital sound of the digital video disc.
