The English Patient is one of those movies that people either love or hate, not much in between. I'm in the former category. At the time, and over the years since, I've noticed that people who hate it also seem to be angry about it. Very odd, really. It is only a movie after all, unless for some people at least it perhaps presses some buttons they would rather not have pushed.

My mother had me watch the English Patient with her. I agree, one of the most boring movies ever made.

That's when I stopped paying much attention to the Oscars. -- JR Richard Halegua Comic Art wrote: the answer is simple.... the awards are not entirely accomplishment based. They are frequently an emotional response by the members of the Academy who are unable to compartmentalize their emotions from their intellect, and so you get results that are not necessarily in line with truly award-caliber films.
