Seventh art was created for films like this

Rating: 10/10 (21 September 2000)

When a movie has a good story, or some superb character, or even a great soundtrack, it is a good movie. But when everything comes together, is about a piece of art what we're talking about. I think this is the case. From the first glance, this film is breathtaking. The mesmerizing soundtrack and the beautiful and evocative images bring an atmosphere so sugestive that you will fall in love in a moment. Let's be honest: what do we look for when we go to a theater to see a movie? One good story, the one we should have live, and some images to be remembered at the end of the day... or for a lifetime. I am by no means romantic, at least I dont go to cinema "looking for a movie to cry with", but believe me, the English Patient turns you into a state of sensibility that makes you realize the beauty of feelings, not only the happy ones, but the sad ones too. I mean, true great stories are the ones that contain a mix of feelings and facts (adventure, romanticism, sadness, action) that makes you breathe deeply and say that's life, and that's beautiful.
