Certain great points but....BORING!!

Rating: 5/10 (12 October 2007)

The cinematography was excellent and the acting (mainly Juliette Binoche) was very good but this movie holds the record of being the ONLY movie I ever fell asleep during.
The English Patient has its supporters and haters evenly divided and I am obviously more of a hater than a supporter. I remember being so glad to see the Seinfeld episode where Elaine stood up and actually said "That movie stunk!".
I personally find it sad that this film swept the Oscars when the much more superior Fargo and Secrets & Lies were among the nominees.
However, I will say that I can support the Binoche and Cinematography wins but everything else....uh....NO I CAN'T!! Here is another example of the Academy going for the big, overblown epic (and Miramax probably bought it) and it is one of the worst BP choices ever!!
