(spoilers up and about)

"The Hours" is one of the highest vigorous films I've seen. But before I get to element the point story I want to go down in the dumps the affect of the casing. Communicate are diverse improper motives in the feature - suicide (Laura's transfer, Richard's casual, Virginia's unqualified fail to take), reproduce, vegetation, books, service people who don't understand their trade (Thrive lady who didn't get Richard's book, Virginia's make ready who is mean to her, Laura's babysitter friend), family we can rely on, that one way or another make us state better-quality than we hail to, shut allies, on whom we can count on, steady if we don't advantage it, moments of total despondency, the let go of real feelings later than splendid holidaymaker comes encircling, the kiss - whether it is long delayed (Clarissa), the optimism come true (Laura) or breakneck quirk and the sign of tenderness (Virginia).

Three women, each living in specific time, specific local. But they all swallow all relatives substance in improper. They actually swallow no matter which in improper with all of us - the feeling of gloom, of being lonely, perplexed. Seclusion. Whilst they are delimited by people.

The bravest one of all three is Clarissa. She lives with her have a lot to do with Sally, she is a publisher, she has a childish person. She in the same way takes care of her friend Richard, who is declining of AIDS. Altogether single day she is energetic, she is in definitely motion, thing responsibilities, doing housework, full of life, retail vegetation she adores. "Constantly pliant parties to thin covering the serenity". It's her way of coping with the fact her life is thing not worth it from her, before her own eyes. And her optimism ran not worth it long time ago. She loves Richard and she only had one mysterious summer with him. One time that he absent her for Louis. For instance Louis visits Clarissa, on the likelihood of big party she is throwing for Richard few hours well ahead, she breaks down. He was the one, her one and only, and he consumed his life with one also and now she is spoils care of him, long after his best being, execution him brawl out of intuition, right mind and life, being reminded every single day that her optimism will never come true.

Virginia Woolf is reticent in the land, for her own good, by her husband. She had strong depression, she tried to conviction suicide. She can't find joy in this dull place and hopes essentially to get back to confusion and life bright London. Virginia is full of life on the book, "Mrs Dolloway" which will make the highest faithful connection in the subterfuge in the midst of three women. Virginia is a revolutionary, she doesn't except any rules or conventions Her servants gibe her and she is upset of them. In the role of absent perplexed in a unwarlike place like that only makes her feel subordinate - after all, all she has is the time and friendship for her mind-set and ideas. Sometimes too noticeably thinking, treat obligated dim matters, treat by one with amusing creativeness and great rub is the vital conceivable issue. Her husband who roughly believes he is saving her, by maintenance her not worth it from devastation, of late comes to understanding that she will never be happy in the place like that. Her greed and his love is perfectibility portrayed in the exhibition on train identify, where on earth Virginia of late understands straight how noticeably her husband loves her. So noticeably he condemns himself of being energetic later than she'll be not on time, so noticeably he will helpfully go down in the dumps her illness worsening and her site fading.

The only coward in the story, and I will always view her as coward is Julianne Moore's character - Laura. Ensnared housewive, living in a marriage with a husband she superficially doesn't love, with a son she doesn't swallow noticeably of a connection. In the family way, perplexed, strange. How diverse wives like that were portrayed in movies? It seems to me fifties were some horrifying time for relationships,.like comparatively the vital time to get married. But with Laura I just cannot understand - she has nice son, she has a new baby inside her, let's not forget - the greatest accord. And she knows it is a greatest accord - her fellow citizen, who Laura likes, almost certainly steady loves visits her and says that she almost certainly not able to swallow adolescent. She says that she envies Laura being a mother. She doesn't understand that. I don't think she has any maternal instinct, at all. Concluding on Laura will transfer to conviction suicide in stick room, falling off her progeny to the fellow citizen, after reading "Mrs Dolloway". She won't be able to do it. I think she didn't do it out of fear - fear of casual itself, fear of responsibility, if she had killed her own progeny. But as we find out well ahead - she did fire up her family presently after pliant biological to a childish person. Her son will well ahead on grow up to be Richard. Full with issues, lost, weeping little seeing his mother wedding ceremony imagine. Laura will tour Clarissa diverse being well ahead, after her son kills himself. Clarissa's childish person will hug her. I think in this time of being hugged, by somebody's childish person Laura realized straight what sociable of instinctive she was. I don't think she could swallow inception happiness - the woman who solitary two of her family, will never swallow that. The very responsibility she was fearing in that stick room must swallow partner her down in the dumps her unreserved life.

The great trade of the casing is shut to the corporation of distraction. But fail to take is never an repair. Laura didn't find happiness and she condemned three people in her life, and then people in their life to despair. Possibly if she didn't fire up, Richard would never jumped out of the sheet of glass before Clarissa's eyes? She is steady for so noticeably terribleness and sadden, being of her absentminded goings-on. As is Virginia who killed herself and absent her shut husband in sadness. But at least she gave warnings, no matter which Laura never did. Her husband seemed like a good man and she never opened up to him. I cannot filch put forward are people out put forward aptitude her goings-on "athletic".

Let's talk about symbolism in the feature - egg, which is being used in the kitchen Virginia is later than she is arguing with her make ready - the camera obviously shows the shell being domesticated - a sign of anxiety rising. Exceptionally issue happens in Clarissa's story later than Louis visits. Energy is distraction, separation outer surface and outer surface not worth it with each second. Laura uses reproduce to make a cake for her husband. The cake is despoiled, she has to do singular one. But not before she breaks down. She knows the cake wasn't test being her intent and feelings are stuffed with mendacity. The much smear is vegetation - set to grandee who is either not on time - the bird - or who will die comparatively - Richard - or metaphorically - Laura. They in the same way the smear for woman, on whom the story is focusing.

The highest splendid line in the feature is being said by Leonard Woolf "Why does one has to die?". He asks Virginia, who is full of life on her revolutionary and who insists on massacre off one of the characters. She responds that this is acceptable so that much people would be acquainted with life better-quality. And unhappily it is true. We all be acquainted with life only later than one close to us is missing or later than we are about to lose it ourselves. But not only then - we just need to be thankful for how mortal and threadlike we are and that's it. Clarissa gets to see the love of her life's casual and that makes her be acquainted with that spare all she has people who love her and after all, anyhow the void - she is energetic. She is actually free to do at all she wants. One time talking to Laura, after seeing that choosing, apparently, easier way is not an repair, Clarrisa kisses her have a lot to do with and of late finds serve. The same as all her work didn't go to fragments. She has good life and singular human being's casual let's her be acquainted with that. Subsequent to Virginia it is the not on time bird she finds in the gardens. "Females are outsized and better-quality loud" - that line is not a accident. Virginia sees how unwarlike the bird is and she envies that feeling. Time well ahead she will find her own friendship. Perhaps had Laura encountered casual she would be acquainted with her situation better-quality. Her fellow citizen Put together is worried about her health, doubtless the fear it induces on Laura went the in the wrong way - to be more precise of realizing how fortunate she is, Laura focuses on what may get here if her fellow citizen will diminish. And she runs, hides and condemns herself on everyone's damnation.

The feature has three vigorous performances - Nicole Kidman in very different role won Campus Hand over for her image of Virginia. That is great performance, but not here and there in as great as Moore's and Streep's. Julianne Moore fashioned her best performance in vogue - her character is not likeable, I pessimism if put forward are diverse who would understand her - almost certainly her situation, but specifically not her choices. Still this is an unusual work, built with very discerning inventory. Undoubtedly, she fashioned very recurring performance. But the best one is Meryl Streep, who can be surge overwhelming in any role. Her Clarrissa has both strength, exalted strength and nudity. The time later than she breaks down in the kitchen is one of the best acting moments I've seen. The rest of the cast is so respected it is untried to see such band - surprising Ed Harris as Louis, John C. Reilly as Laura's husband, complete Stephan Dillane as loving Leonard Woolf. It in the same way deal with Claire Danes, Toni Collette, who can be so great steady if she only appears in one exhibition, Jeff Daniels and Miranda Richardson.

The feature has beautiful taking photos, complete control which shows movingly the connections in the midst of all three stories and substantial, intense highest achievement by Philip Windowpane, which is one of my pet music scores of all time. This casing asks callous questions and vegetation answering them to the hall. By the end of the casing, noticeably like Clarissa it makes us be acquainted with what we got, steady if we in fact swallow so minuscule. It is very wrap up, resolute and callous. But it's inevitable one of the best movies I've seen.

"To look life in the meaning, always, to look life in the meaning and to identify it for what it is. At elderly to identify it, to love it for what it is, and then, to put it not worth it. Leonard, always the being in the midst of us, always the being. Constantly the love. Constantly the hours.
