"Love is always a bitch"
Isobel 2022-03-20 09:01:22
For a film like The English Patient about love at war, a tragic ending was almost doomed from the start. It's like falling in love with a married man, just like falling in love with a husband's friend. Love is always impacting your heart door all the time, until you open the heart door, only to find that another door has been permanently closed. It is like the lingering patient, which is pitiful and unbearable, but in the end it will die. The little Indian guy in the movie is very handsome, and I think the poor breast archaeologist is not as good-looking as the nurse.

Katharine Clifton: [dancing] Why did you follow me yesterday?
Almásy: I'm sorry, what?
Katharine Clifton: After the market, you followed me to the hotel.
Almásy: I was concerned. A woman in that part of Cairo, a European woman, I felt obliged to.
Katharine Clifton: [amused] You felt obliged to?
Almásy: As the wife of one of our party.
Katharine Clifton: So why follow me? Escort me, by all means, but following me is predatory, isn't it?

Hana: [reads Almásy's note on the firecracker] "Betrayals in war are childlike compared with our betrayals during peace. New lovers are nervous and tender, but smash everything. For the heart is an organ of fire." For the heart is an organ of fire.I love that. I believe that. K? Who is K?
Almásy: K is for Katharine.
