Wow!

Rating: Null/10 (25 June 1999)

I had never seen The English Patient before and expected little more than something that, all things considered, would be a good movie however much it might drag. The desert scenes from the trailer along with the two tapes on which the movies were on brought back memories of falling asleep during Lawrence of Arabia in film class. Nevertheless I was enthralled with the incredible acting. The cast fully utilized the wonderful script and did a terrific job all around. I was glued to the set because of this and wonderful cinematography, which I suppose I had not paid near close enough attention to while watching Lawrence of Arabia in film class. In fact, I don't think that I could truly appreciate the film or write a review that could do it justice because of my relative illiteracy as far as film viewing is concerned. The bottom line, however, is this, great film.
