With competition like Fargo the year it won Best Picture, there was a lot of upset over The English Patient winning. It has caused a huge divide in how people perceive it as well. While some love it others actually hate it. If you're a fan of tragedies and romance then this is one of the most epic ones of the past almost twenty years. A very long story, and lots of sexy scenes make this one that lives up to the hype. The movie is led by great acting from the main cast though who seems to embrace the chemistry and story of their characters, and in a way that is the best thing about the movie.
