The Role of Nostalgia in The English Patient

In "Theory 5: Anatomy of old movies: Heritage and method" (1977), Marc Le Sueur first talked about one of the past writings of nostalgic expression in this movie. "There are few people trying to establish general working principles" (p. 189). This is not a conservative phenomenon, but as he further suggests, it is a way to deal with the past and to ignore other historical methods.

Nostalgic word of nostalgia comes from two Greek roots. In 1998, the Oxford English Dictionary defined nostalgia as a kind of depression caused by the long-term absence of families and countries, serious homesickness. New Oxford English Dictionary (1998: 41) defines nostalgia as "I am experiencing the desire of a person's house while I am absent" and explains nostalgia as "sentimental desire for the past". In other words, the Greek word "nostalgia" means "go home" and "pain" is a state of pain. This desire brings the past back to the individual with peace of mind and makes it inventive again. Davis F. (1982: 18) defines nostalgia as "a positive memory of the past" and believes as follows.

Nostalgia appears to be a natural reaction when a connection between our emotions and memorized memories is triggered. We are often caught up in events as childhood and personal nostalgia related to specific places. The average person is poisoned more than once a week and may experience longer events in difficult times. After death, we will cast nostalgic feelings as a lifeline of sorrow. Please keep the memories of the past carefully in order to be comfortable. A better time has arrived

Nostalgia is not a simple metaphor but a powerful medicine. Recent academic research on past memories suggests that "nostalgic therapy" may have great expectations for treatment of anxiety and depression. Indeed, the story of survivors of the Holocaust and survivors of other devastating circumstances proves the healing power of the warm and calm fantasy age - imagining making the current situation more affordable please. However, like many medicines we have had in difficult times, nostalgia seems to have that dark side. Indeed, looking at the cultural landscape of the Western world, it is easy to suggest that we are in the midst of a poisoning crisis. Unlike the human beings that have seen since the invention after printing changed in medieval Europe, the sarcasm of the present era, despite information technology and media revolution, our pop culture has changed little That is not it.
