Love can't be wrong, what's wrong is human desire

The 1996 love war drama, adapted from the novel of the same name by the famous writer Michael Ondajie. The movie takes war and desert as the background and interprets a love tragedy that spans time and space.

During World War II, a British plane was shot down by the Germans while flying over the Sahara Desert. All the pilots on the plane were burned to the face. The locals rescued him and sent him to the Allied Field Hospital. Because of the injury, the pilot lost his memory and couldn't remember who he was, so he was only called the "British Patient".

Love can’t be wrong. What’s wrong is human desire. If I really love you, then I will allow you to do everything. This is also a transformation of my feelings. To be honest, the film is a bit boring.

    Absolute artwork, the characters, stories, pictures, music, and lines are all seamlessly and beautifully combined. Fifteen years ago, I only saw the beginning and was intimidated by the bloody scenes of the war, but I don't think this movie is destined to be understood by teenage children.

The English Patient quotes

  • 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.
