The English Patient/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Actor Allusion: This isn't the only time Ralph Fiennes played a Hungarian.
    • Neither it is the first time his character wound up in a desert during a major war, as he also played T.E.Lawrence in a TV-movie A Dangerous Man: Lawrence after Arabia.
  • Fake Nationality: In the movie, Juliet Binoche (French) plays Hana (French-Canadian); Willem Dafoe (US American) plays Caravaggio (Canadian); and Naveen Andrews (English) plays Kip (Indian). Ralph Fiennes, who plays the title character, actually is English. His character isn't.
  • Hey, It's That Guy!: The Green Goblin and Sayid meet in a villa where a nurse cares for Lord Voldemort.
