The English Patient Deteled Scene

[mediterraneo0327]

I wish this scene wasn't deleted...

[TheTeamLiam]

me head is about to explode

[BoomerProduction96]

He looks so much like The blind teacher of little house on the prairie! If your look close two them in Some of the pictures between them!

[TheSnowballEarth]

Sounds like the old Bedouin man called Almasy an ostrich-chaser. ;-] I always suspected that old guy had most of his part chopped from the final film. Great scene.

[hbanana7]

I am looking for a good movie that has desert background. This looks like it has good reference..but please don't tell me it has a sappy romance plot. ;_;

[crayzmarc]

Ralph Fiennes is deliberately doing some kind of accent pre-burns right? He is meant to be Hungarian.

[mamc1986]

Oh the poor ostrage!

[october71777]

Wow, why did they delete this from the movie????? This would have added so much to our understanding of the attraction these two had for one another. This was before the sand storm obviously.

[impamiizgraa]

he is the one who appears not to be moving.........

can somebody describe to me the feelings of Almasy and Katherine when they meet, and when the'yre together in the desert? It's like they both loved from the beginning but felt the other didn't....

[feefers3]

Is Ralph Fiennes not the most handsome man on the planet?  Phowarr!

[christentze]

wow, this must have been painful to cut. the acting is so good.

this film is the visual definition of passion. i love it. it's so, so, so beautiful.

[xyomed]

...

[smashmaster326]

He's so cute...

[eoinroe47]

They shud hav included that. That's one of the best scenes I've ever seen. The forelorn feeling to us wud be immense to her when she can't even undrstand th whole convo

[verdantcrab]

Does anyone have the direct translation for the conversation between Alamasy and the old man? It seems as though Alamasy is filtering it in some places for Katherine's sake.

[eoinroe47]

This is what I thot, does anyone pls hav this?

[Roselily182]

@verdantcrab The old Egyptian guy says at first, "Be careful. a woman and an ostrich, for me, are alike." And later he says, "Be careful. Even if you keep silent and standing still, it might move over and hurt you".. >> this is what I could get from him, because actually he's speaking broken Arabic, although he looks very much like an Arab!!

[youpippo81]

@Roselily182 actually it is somewhere in morocco thats y the old wise man talks that way...but nonetheless ...beautiful! he is an arabian lol not egyptian tho lol. "khud belak from the one that appears not to be moving" lol

[Roselily182]

@youpippo81 really?

I thought he was Egyptian!!! this explains why I couldn't get him totally..

thanx :)

[youpippo81]

@Roselily182 the movie was shot in part in egypt, cairo etc. and in part in marocco, desert scene, caves etc.....but where r u from? am half eritrean half egyptian and a lot more too...lol. and u r welcome! :)

[Roselily182]

@youpippo81 aha..

cool.. It's always the more, the better :)

I'm from Kuwait...

[youpippo81]

@Roselily182 coooool am adding you to my friends i hope u dont mind...would like to chat with u sometimes...great to know u hope to talk very soon! ciao.

[Roselily182]

@youpippo81 ok.. good

great to know you too :)

[felsner1]

Finnes was sensational in this role.

[wilkiecollinsiscool]

Ralph Fiennes reads this book. His voice is simply divine. Get it.

[homerunhitters]

Could one of you whackoffs please post this movie?????

[shay360hatzel]

he is so sexyyyyyyyy

but is was grows when he talks arabic!

[jewelsxtfbmx3D]

Gosh, I could listen to him talk all day =]

[chocowomanpowerwork]

I know right. I melt when he speaks and I hang on to his every word.

[jewelsxtfbmx3D]

Me, too. I am trying to read the book, but it is so temping knowing I can just watch him instead. : )

[MephistaFilth]

@jewelsxtfbmx3D he could talk about dermatophyte or whatever, it would still make me drool.

[darbyddt8]

Well,this is it. Ondaatje frequently repeats the word STILL throughout the book in different context.

[darbyddt8]

I read it long ago but cannot remember this part in Ondaatje's novel.

Doesn't matter-great scene anyway with a thought-provoking clue.

[Agent2454]

Agent2454

I smiply love this movie.Ralph is amazing and his voice , outrageously beautiful.Thank you , youtube .

[VermeersGirl]

At 0:16 Almásy in Arabic says: "I'm telling her your map is poetry."

Great scene by the way:) Thank you so much for sharing!

[RasMajnouni]

He spoke Arabic well, and when the older man told him they shouldn't "mix" he didn't want to translate.

[opalescence84]

My favourite film. He is so hot.

[sigur90]

His voice is beautiful.

[MioneRiddle1926]

i love this movie and i love Ralph Fiennes and the sex was HOT lmao. I liked this deleted scene it foreshadows what will happen between Kathrine and Almsay.

[Spylla]

hmmm meaningful scene even left out....

[Invermitch]

The Old Man of the Desert has seen it all. Every young man should keep a shrewd geezer like that close at hand as a source of wisdom, parable and metaphor - especially when it comes to trying to fathom beautiful women! My grandfather in the Scottish Highlands was solid gold for that sort of thing!

Wonderful scene - thanks very much for posting, spanishghost.

[zmor68]

This scene seems to be the metaphor of the whole movie, doesnt it? Wonder why it was deleted.

[Invermitch]

Damn right, zmor68. Amongst other things, aside from the whole Saharan sequence, Caravaggio is pretty static for much of the time and then suddenly tears Almasy's secrets from him.

Great film, and it's nice to pick up these deleted gems and revisit the DVD....!

[Xilluci]

Do you have more deleted scenes? *.*

[Xilluci]

Ralph here is about 35, now he's 46... but still sexy... :P yumm... :D

[598alamrin]

Does anyone know what Almasy and the old man are saying in Arabic?

[sunkat76]

Only that the old man says Chokran (thank you). Sorry don't know Ralph's bit.

[heavenwants2play]

why , delete this part/

[Aneliavelar]

Thank you very much for uploading this missing part of my favourite movie, though i like the movie without this scene, it is a good one in itself.

[8data]

ralph fienes is the man!

[sodasays]

Anybody knows what the oldman says? Is it exactly as translated?

[javix0]

La mejor pelicula de la historia del cine

[81shovelhd]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. A dull scene ripped from a duller film. A movie made so the middle class can congratulate itself on its highbrow taste without actually reading the book. The time I spent watching this pompous, made-for-the-oscars piece of crap is time I will never recover.

[jugganaut35]

What if you've read the book, and you find both the book and the film fantastic? Does that make you middle-class pretentious?

So tell me, just which Oscar films do YOU endorse? Titanic? Gladiator? :D

[81shovelhd]

Dances with Wolves:

Kicking Bird: "I was just thinking that of all the trails in this life, there are some that matter most. It is the trail of a true human being. I think you are on this trail, and it is good to see."

Or . . . Forest Gump, Driving Miss Daisy

tough call hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[xoxolost]

I've seen this film several times,but this is the first time to see this deleted scene,thx for uploading

[WhiteBoyBob1]

shut the fuck up

[TheVideoElf]

The One That Does Not Move......

ifyouaskmee blogspot - Writing

theElf

[BUBBLEtons]

His voice...

WOW.

:)

xxxx

[fegu]

Glad they cut this out, it was not needed, plus the camera moves funny and I just don't feel Fiennes here. By the way, a very small part of it is still in the movie.

[underthesign1]

I see why it was deleted--it's awfully draggy and mannered, and it doesn't add anything to the characters or the story.

[SureShotDC]

Good scene, but I can understand why they left it out. The motif or theme the director speaks of (the Ostrich and then the foreshadowing) was made pretty explicit throught the film. Great scene though.

[jen25xxx]

What? eh? Sorry Rafe I keep missing the first bit of what you're saying cos I get transfixed on your yummy lips and start drifting... Anyway, maybe they deleted it cos the old lad looks like he's rolling bogies or something.

RF u sxy ******

[ibraheem56]

y the hech did they delete this scene

[thekey76]

Was this scene really not in the original movie? For I seem to remember it ...

[amonem]

no... when he was talking to that man, that about a woman's back...that was in movie, but the scene was like before he met kathereine...

[designgirl27]

I love Ralph Fiennes... I'll marrie him.

[VYLI]

have u ever seen him in theater? I'm not aware of what he does nowadays but I saw him in "Brand" a few years back... and I went to Kristin Scott-Thomas's boarding school :)

[Thessaly]

a pretty good scene, but at this point they're laying the metaphor on a little thick

[zhusong]

The deleted scene, along with other special features are on the special edition DVD.

[ralfeigl]

Great, thanks for posting this, I've just ordered a copy of the special edition DVD

[spanishghost]

I found this video the year 2000 on a web page dedicated to Kristin Scott-Thomas. Probably this scene is from the making-off documentary. And sure, probably there are a lot of deleted scenes because I readed the original screenplay from the film and there are pages and dialogues that aren't in the film, like the scene where Juliette Binoche go down the stairs with a gun. I expect one day they make a DVD with all these scenes.

[ralfeigl]

Thanks a lot for the information, spanishghost. Is the 'Making-of' documentary available somewhere?

[kheldara]

do you still have the screenplay? i'd love to read the original...

[ralfeigl]

Does anyone know whether there are more deleted scenes? And: What documentary was this taken from?

[ralfeigl]

Phantastic!

[gingerr36]

Is this on the widescreen DVD? I have been dying to pick it up but always talk myself out of spending the $20 on a movie I already have on VHS. Oh how I do so love this film...I think I'll pop it in the old VCR...

[quillsarecool]

This would have been very nice in the film - it shows more of the Count's personality. And, of course, it's more Ralph. <3

[monday2]

I wish they had included in the film, I like to hear more speech like from him....so great!
