THE HOURS

What is the movie about? For me it is difficult to define this because every time that I have seen this movie I felt that is very complexe and deep. But anyway I will say that for me, the movie is about happiness with life, because the main characters feel they live an incorrect life as if they were born in the wrong time. This style of life that each one has makes them feel dead, so they always live in a depressed mood and for that reason each one chooses an option of "life" that in some cases ironically is death. No one of them is worried about the consequences and the feelings of their relatives, the only want to find the peace that they want.

About The Hours



At this moment, I have no idea. I guess it is how people live a life is not theirs. Sometimes, when we love someone we think love will give us happiness but, the problem is happiness is just a moment and life is more than that; it is days, years and hours, as the movie said. Loving someone doesn’t mean to be forbidden to love someone or something else. If we get to the point of living imprisoned in our own body, mind and time, we should then, desire death, because death will give us freedom.

Rosa H: Word Cloud Glossary


Word-Cloud Glossary:


1. Didactics:  Didactics is a theory of teaching, and in a wider sense, a theory and practical application of teaching and learning. It is a teaching method that follows a consistent scientific approach or educational style to engage the student. The didactic method of instruction is often contrasted with dialectics and the Socratic Method; the term can also be used to refer to a specific didactic method, as for instance constructivist didactics. The theory of Didactic Learning methods focuses on the baseline knowledge students possess and seeks to improve upon and convey this information. It also refers to the foundation or starting point in a lesson plan, where the overall goal is knowledge. A teacher or educator functions in this role as an authoritative figure, but also as both a guide and a resource for students.

2. Sequence: A sequence is a set of related events, movements, or items that follow each other in a particular order. The word becomes from the late Middle English: from Latin sequentia, from Latin sequent- 'following', from the verb sequi 'follow'.

3. English: The West Germanic language of England, now widely used in many varieties throughout the world. English is the principal language of Great Britain, the US, Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and many other countries. There are some 400 million native speakers, and it is the medium of communication for many millions more; it is the most widely used second language in the world. It belongs to the West Germanic group of Indo-European languages though its vocabulary has been much influenced by Old Norse, Norman French, and Latin.

4. Methodology: Is usually a guideline system for solving a problem, with specific components such as phases, tasks, methods, techniques and tools.

5. Student: Is a person engaged in study; one who is devoted to learning; a pupil; a scholar; especially one who attends a school, or who seeks knowledge from professional teachers or from books; as, the student of an academy, a college, or an university.
