Sleep inducing chicks' movie

Rating: 1/10 (14 January 2004)

'The English Patient' starts promising enough: we see a plane crash in the desert, the badly burned pilot is saved by nomads. Then we see Juliette Binoche playing a nurse in the British Army in France, providing personal care to the burn victim played by Ralph Fiennes. In the last good scene, a friend of Binoche drives ahead of the convoy and her jeep is blown up by a landmine. After some trivial matters, Binoche decides to get her patient, who is clearly terminal, into a nearby abandoned mansion as his last station. After having installed herself and her patient, while the convoy moves on, Binoche cuts her hair.
And things start to go horribly wrong for most male viewers...
Four Hours Later, the movie ends and I wake up.
If watching this thing in the presence of any spouse of girlfriend, just comment it was 'excellent,' 'tragic,' 'romantic' etc. etc. Avoid at all cost.
