Some people say that the joy of rereading a book is that you can re-understand yourself at that time and relive the mental journey at that time. Then, re-reading a movie and listening to a song are the same.
"The English Patient" is adapted from the famous author Michael Ondagi's masterpiece of the same name, which has won various Pulitzer Prizes and other literary awards. The film has won 9 Oscars and has become an immortal classic in film history.
Watched it for the first time in junior high and was not impressed. After watching it more than ten years later, I felt the human nature and the washing of ethics and morality hidden in this film. The heavy feeling made me unable to let go for a long time. There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, at least in my heart, this is an epic masterpiece. Personally, I think the experience of watching a movie is a very personal thing, and it is related to the mood, situation and experience at the time, so I respond to the sentiment of "I don't know what the song is about when I first hear it, but it is the person in the song when I hear it again."
The scene is magnificent and emotionally delicate. The main line is Emma Shu's intermittent recollection of his love affair with Catherine, the second line is the love between the female nurse Hannah and Kip, and Caravaggio's quest for revenge, constantly interspersed. staggered. It excavates and displays war, peace, emotion, betrayal, as well as deep nationalism, human morality, etc. This real power lasts for a long time, enough to touch the uncastrated hinterland of a person's soul.
Like Catherine's last writing, I don't want to talk about war at the moment, don't care about moral constraints, don't pay attention to what the world thinks, I just want to write to my lover and tell him at the end of my life:
My darling,
I'm waiting for you.
I have always loved you deeply,
I ask for nothing,
I just want to walk in heaven with you...
When Emma Shu worked so hard to sell the map in exchange for the plane just for the promise of "I will come back", it was Catherine's icy corpse. Fiennes performed this painful crying scene. Extremely explosive. Who said that men don't cry easily, but they haven't reached the point of sadness.
Someone once said to me, what is the most precious and beautiful thing in this world? It's emotion! But love is Emma's life-long terminal illness, which cannot be cured, but can only die with life. Compared to the trauma of the war, the emotion plundered and possessed him like a storm. A love that is outside of morality and is not recognized by the world is difficult to survive, but in the cruel age of war, when everyone is as insignificant as an ant, it seems that everything can be forgiven, forgiven...
