While there is the suggestion that the mysterious English patient has been shot down and fallen from the sky at the start of this movie, there was a more explicit scene at the end of this movie that was cut, depicting Almásy slowly falling to Earth, dangling from a pure white parachute shown against a clear blue sky, the upper part of his body engulfed in flames ("The heart is an organ of fire" is a quote from this movie). The scene is mentioned on the Saul Zaentz Co. website: "Bluescreen work that involved the opening and the closing scenes of the film, in which the unnamed pilot and a lifeless woman are shot out of the sky and fall to Earth, were completed on the main soundstage at Cinecitta, and production wrapped on January 31, 1996." The scene was shown on a CBC broadcast of an interview with writer and director Anthony Minghella, but never appeared in the final cut of the ending of this movie.
