The hours' topics
I think the film "The hours" develops
several topics.
There is life Vs death, regret; absurdism; love and
happiness.
The film shows how life is conceived by some people
(the female protagonist) and how it goes into a monotone chain of
events. Those women are looking for something that makes their lives
remarkable, something that not only makes them feel happy but free
and complete. Surely they regret the way their lives have passed. In
that way, they can identify how absurd is living a life like anyone
else and pretend to be happy.
It is possible to realize absurdism in some scenes
when the characters look depressed and they want to be different, to
do things in a different way. One example of it is Laura Brown when
she makes the decision of leaving her children.
There is also regret . The character of Clarissa, for
example, regrets how her life has no sense without Richard and she
believes he is right when he call her Mrs. Dallo-way because of what
that name represents.
