DIEGO CUERO " THE HOURS"




 “The Hours” Here in this film we can find three women: Virginia Woolf ( the writer)  Clarissa ( a publisher) and Laura (the  mother). The characters are from different  chronological time, but they are linked in the movie for  the love, happiness, tragedies, Sadness, loneliness, suicide and lesbianism which are developed all along the movie and Mrs. Dalloway (Virginia Woolf’s book). The movie try to tell us why we make a decision to live or die?.

Woolf’s struggle with mental illness led her to commit suicide, every scene is colored by the knowledge that she will ultimately decide to take her own life. She is so sensitive to the world around her and unusually receptive to small details of her environment, which she believes have incredible significance. Her sensitivity makes her a great writer.

Laura Brown feels surprised by the direction of  her life has taken. She thinks that she should be happy, because her husband is kind, her son loves her, and they live in a nice home. Laura feels that something is wrong with her but tries to convince herself that she is normal. Laura attempted suicide. Like many women of her generation, married young and has the roles of wife and mother at a relatively young age.

Clarissa takes great pleasure in the day-to-day details of life, she questions the choices that she has made and has doubts about what her life has come to. Nostalgia for her love .She loves the small domestic details of her life, and she enjoys the simple acts of buying flowers and keeping a beautiful apartment.
