Depressing but still good at the same time

Rating: 8/10 (29 April 2014)

Anthony Minghella's The English Patient tells the story of when at the close of World War II a horribly burned plane crash victim who has a nurse to care for him and hi memory is shown in flashbacks. The movie stars Ralph Fiennes as Count Laszlo de Almasy the man who got 3rd degree burns all over his body after the crash, the movie co- stars Kristin Scott Thomas, Juliette Binoche, Colin Firth, and Willem Dafoe. This movie compares to drama films such as Kramer vs. Kramer, Mystic River, and many more. Also the sceneries for the locations were just beautiful to see. Director Anthony Minghella really knows how to execute a depressing but great drama film. The English Patient is not a great film it is just a good film that isn't really that memorable to watch over and over again. But the thing is that i would still recommend this for teenagers and adults who haven't watched this movie yet, in which it is one of cinemas greatest drama pictures ever made.
