"The English Patient" is a movie that I will keep after switching N computers over the years.
That kind of feeling is stuck in my throat. I always feel like I want to say something but I don't know where to start. After watching it after many years, I can vaguely feel part of the content that the movie wants to express. That kind of feeling is an unspeakable concealment and itching in the relationship that adults who have experienced some world events can experience. It is also a refreshing shot for the wanderer of love, reminding the world that there is still the innocence of love, and it is also for war-weariness. A complete reason for war weariness. This may be a mixed feeling.
The main line of the film tells about the extramarital affair between Earl Amarsh and Lady Catherine Clipton. Earl Amarsh, who is most afraid of having and to be owned, wanders the deserts of North Africa for historical and geographical research. , fell in love at first sight after meeting the married Mrs. Katherine Clipton for the first time. He wrote her into his notebook and named her K. He was afraid of ownership in love, but named her dimple under the ridge "Emarsh Strait" after the love affair. Seeing this, I would feel that there was only desire and possession between them. It was Count Amarsh who overcame his inner fear and dislike and started a period of unrighteous possession.
If it is said that desire, love, and affection are the three levels of emotion, then I only feel that the relationship between Emmasur and Katherine is only at the level of desire, until Emmashu said in the scene of the movie: Katherine, I'm not missing you yet", only then did he realize that their relationship had undergone a qualitative change, this woman had become a thorn in his heart that could not be removed, and he lost his temper during the next banquet, saying that he didn't want to but The body is very honest. After the plane crashed, Emmashu hugged Catherine and suddenly saw the token she was wearing around her neck, the token he gave her. Catherine said "you idiot, I've always wear it, I' ve always worn it, I've always loved you. At this time their feelings go beyond desire, hormones sublime, and without desire it becomes love. When love melts, it becomes love, and this love is the promise to Catherine in the cave: "I promise, i will never leave you".
For this love, in order to return to the cave to save his woman, he was first imprisoned by the British as a German. After escaping, he exchanged valuable maps with the German army in exchange for an airplane. At this time, he had given up all labels, all titles, and all ego attributes, which meant that he gave up ego in exchange for the chance to save Catherine. At this time, in his heart, this love was more than anything else. Their relationship is no longer a simple relationship of possession and being possessed, but a trust and friendship that is bigger than the sky in the midst of war.
Another character that cannot be ignored when the film is told is Hannah. She seems to be a dose of fresh blood in this stale and old topic. The juicy plum, carrying Ai Mashu in the rain, shared his girlish thoughts with Ai Mashu. She said that she had not read many books, but her unpretentiousness was a great consolation and calm to Amarsh, who had extensive burns all over his body and only a small part of his lungs left to breathe. While Amarsh was telling his story, Hannah was also experiencing her own mental journey. The people she loved left her one after another. From her initial tears to her calm acceptance, she completed herself. Inner strength and growth, bravely accept all losses.
When Amarsh looked at her firmly and begged Hannah to end her life with morphine, Hannah seemed to have made a decision to respect her friend. What brought me to tears was when Hannah read Catherine's letter to Emmache, Emmache died peacefully, and Hannah's mouth was smiling and there were tears in her eyes. Because she knows that his "English patient" has gone with his favorite to a place where there is no war and no disturbance. They can have each other. Even if they can't achieve perfection in love, the love generated by love is already there. More than desire and possession, because love and affection help them achieve spiritual acquisition, "I will be happily lost, in the dark".
In the end, Hannah left the castle. Although she lost the person she loved, she took the stories of Emma Shu and Catherine and what she had learned to be inseparable, so she left the castle in the open-mindedness of the rivers and lakes. The sun shone down from the gaps in the leaves and onto her bright face, she smiled, still with tears in her smile. . .
This is more than a movie that makes people smile in tears.
