It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

I didn't hate The English Patient as much as Elaine Benes, but I am questioning why it won Best Picture. This film is long, drawn-out and fairly boring. Yes, it has great production value, but the story isn't as compelling as it thinks it is, and I couldn't identify with any of the characters. I think the 1996 Best Picture award should have gone to Jerry Maguire or Fargo, instead.

I never saw a film where I just wanted to scream out "I AM BORED"! I don't care how many awards this boring film has won it is still a boring film. I am not a person who will love a movies because the Academy awarded it with Best Picture. That's is what they did here.In the final days of the Italian Campaign of World War II, Hana, a French-Canadian nurse working and living in a bombed-out Italian monastery, looks after a critically burned man who speaks English but cannot remember his name. They are joined by Kip, a Sikh sapper in the British Army who defuses bombs and has a love affair with Hana before leaving for Florence, and David Caravaggio, a Canadian Intelligence Corps operative who was questioned by Germans and has had his thumbs cut off during a German interrogation. Caravaggio questions the patient, who gradually reveals his past.This film could of had the same plot and been 1/2 sorter and it would have been 10x better. 20 years after it has won Best Picture it still gets me mad that this film won over "FARGO" and "Sling Blade"
