In "The English Patient", Catherine said to Emmache, "If I give my life to you, you will not cherish it." (It's just a pity that this line impressed me the most in the book, in the movie But no) after passion, modern women still have such calm insight. It's just, how sad it sounds to say this after their first love when they were deeply in love! So, at that time Catherine asked Emmaus, when are you happiest? He said now. When are you the saddest, he still answered, now. Maybe they should be thankful for that war. If it weren't for the death and separation of the lovers, if it weren't for the war, Aimashu would use his life to fulfill the "wait for me to come back" The promise of such a love that was not blessed by the world in the first place will never have such a poignant ending. Is death the most beautiful ending of love? Maybe! Death is the most beautiful scene in The English Patient. Catherine's wounded body lay in the icy cave. The light of the portable lamp gradually dimmed, the temperature in the cave gradually disappeared, Catherine's breathing gradually weakened, and the pain in her body gradually became stronger. She was looking forward to, afraid, she wanted to see the sunshine outside, she wanted to hear the footsteps of his return, she wanted him to hold her body and give her a warm feeling. Honey, maybe I can't wait for you to come back... Amarsh keeps walking in the desert... It's dark, it's dawn. Lips are getting dry, my body is getting tired, my feet are getting heavy... I don't care about the Germans or the Allies, I don't care about justice or betrayal, I don't care about war or country. I just want to save my love, I just want to be with her forever, I just want to give my all in exchange for her life... He flew back to the desert in a plane full of German gasoline. There was no light in the cave, only icy air. My love lies quietly. I hold her and stand against the wind in the vast Gobi... Look dear, how warm the sun is, the wind is so soft, and you are so beautiful, your body is so light... I just want to fly freely in the sky with you, you are white The silk scarf caressing the cabin, you are alive, you are still alive, you are so beautiful... At that moment, for Amarsh, it is eternity. So Emma, ​​who has regained his memory, pushes a shot of morphine at nurse Hannah. For students, he no longer has any attachment. Is love really the most hopeless and most beautiful thing in this world?
