not so good

Rating: Null/10 (12 November 1998)

i may say the 'english patient' is a good film, but not a good adaption of the original novel. compare to the original masterpiece, the film is too short and it's like the 'lost world'. These two films both lost the spirit of the novels and did not describe the characters as well as their original authors. despite the above reasons, the whole movie is pretty good, especially the art direction, cinematography and ralph fiennes. i wonder why this movie won the editing oscar, it sucked.(well, compare to 'schindler's list'.
