I was blown away

Rating: 10/10 (19 February 2005)

Truly amazing. One of the BEST love stories I have ever seen. Heart-wrenching, tear-jerking, and joy-inducing. I have never seen another movie with a similar after-effect as the English Patient. It leaves your mind in stunned stillness, trying to grasp the power of the story and themes you just watched. It is a classy, flawless, excellent quality film- one of those that truly help to define the process of movie-making as "art." Each cast member was fully enveloped in his/her character, and I felt as if I was observing a real occurrence from a hidden place. The chemistry between each and every character on the screen was incredible; most of the time, dialogue was not even needed- the expressions on the actors' faces showed exactly what was happening within themselves, and between one another. Words aren't enough to describe this cinematographic masterpiece; if you haven't seen it yet, pull out your Blockbuster card tonight.
