Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence
As a woman with multiple disabilities, this captures the constant negotiation with caregivers you must continue to make. Self preservatin versus integrity of self versus what is best for the caregiver versus what the caregiver is able and capable of allowing. I've never seen it so perfectly. Unfortunately nowadays there are not many Leonards in the world.
"well, that's what we do. That's what people do : they stay alive for each other". Her response is so innocent and yet so clever and true at the same time
Art at its finest. The music is on the same plane as the words and the energy; even the ambient sounds are note: The sirens and doors shutting in the building; Must listen with headphones to fully appreciate.
This scene mirrors my very existence. I struggle to understand this profound conundrum, yet I am only left with a fleet of indiscernible questions. The intense veracity of this truth renders me motionless, listless and vacuous in a cloud of unparalled ambiguity!
It's Powerful. It reveals itself over time depending on your perception. Just know that book is actually the middle time period which stars Julian Moore. The movie is the Book. The Book is life story. The book is interpreted by the writer , the reader,.and the publisher. The technician, the manager, and the entrepreneur, inverted. It's Deep. Most haven't scratch the surface of this artwork.
Brilliantly acted by both artists. Nicole gets to the skin of the character and delivers an Oscar worthy performance indeed. A brilliant movie and truly a masterpiece.
8:33 that kiss...so brief, but a faint reminder of what they had when they were young. Sometimes, you never get over someone. I think that was part of the reason he committed suicide. He knew he was holding her back from moving on.
I always thought Richard was the father of Clarrisa's daughter and that the reason why Clarissa didn't reveal that (hence the excuse that she never met him), was because of what Laura did.
Absolutely magnificent acting. Kidman nailed Virgina Woolf's final emotions. Incredible. The Academy awards should present twin Oscars for performances such as this one for the simple fact that they dive into the roll thus virtually becoming
Richard didn't have any reason for fighting, according to him, so in that situation, is really difficult to find a reason for living and enjoy that. People who have VIH could live an almost normal life, of course if they have a good treatment. Apparently Richard didn't take a good treatment in the initial phase or maybe he just decided to die. He had a best real friend, and she loved him even though she was in a relationship with another woman, actually in my opinion, she still was in love with him and he didn't appreciate that, or he thought he didn't deserve this cares of her, because he didn't care why she loved him a lot despite he changed her for another guy.
I have no sympathy for Julian Moore and Nicole Kidman’s characters. Their husbands were loving and tried to give them what they wanted, but they didn’t appreciate it. Evil, ungrateful b!tches.
This, pollock, and in A History of Violence, William Hurt showed up on a weekend and out-weirded him as a mob boss- dude is in the passed over hall of fame
Whenever I feel trapped and unhappy in my own life (which is often), I think of this scene and her powerful words: "This is my right; it is the right of every human being. I choose not the suffocating anesthetic of the suburbs, but the violent jolt of the Capital, that is my choice." And I wish I had her courage, to just walk away and reclaim her agency... But, sadly, obligations (to family, friends, co-workers, and so on) do exist; freedom comes only after paying a high price; and fear is never easily ignored. So I stay in my cage, waiting in vain for the world to change around me...
To offer another perspective, over the final shot of the two of them walking back to Nelly and her lunch, both resigned to the final chapter that will, inevitably, lead to her death, I was thinking that you can really lose yourself chasing after an idea of a more exciting life and miss that your life with your family, with those who love and need you, IS your life. I wish you peace, wherever and however you find it.
The year I saw this move was bad for movies. I never saw three bad movies at the same time one was matrics two and this was one of them. The movie was so terrible. I like the one made in 1997 with Venessa Redgrave. The third one was about the author of this movie Woolf.😝
This movie and the 1997 movie don't even have the same story... Also, just because you don't like or don't understand some movies, doesn't mean that the movie are bad or terrible... And it wasn't a bad year for movies, considering the LOTR trilogy released in the those years, which are considered one of the best movies ever made by many professional critics, filmmakers and polls by reputed film publications/magazines...
They all have issues, and sadly, it all starts with two moms, the reluctant one and the eager one. The only thing I don't get is their description of happiness... which has no relation with mom, but a weird pansexual episode the author fails to clearly crystallise or articulate. It's a good concept, but I think the whole novel is half baked.
Just stellar performances.
"I'm dying in this town"
this scene encapsulates everything I love about cinema. and all I am going through now, this is pure genius

Can't get over that prosthetic nose. Very distracting.

That is what I love about this scene and why it's empowering. People call this film depressing, but it's really life-affirming.

Stephen Dillane was wonderful in this movie.
does anyone know the name of the song that starts around minute 3:00
The music of this movie and the piece at 3.00 min is given by Philip glass...you may listen to it on youtube just search 'the hours soundtrack '
Some tracks didn't make it to the official cut of the soundtrack record.
The best
0:32 whoo boy as someone that struggles with mental illness do NOT talk to us like we’re children
He just cares so much about her though...the part that will always get me is at 5:29 when he let it all go in silence...brillant acting.
This scene is a master class in acting.

this movie changed me at such a young age. saved Me at an older age

What did Kidman ever write.
oh my god Kidman is Incredible!
Just watched this scene again for the zillionth time
So good
This scene won her the Oscar
I wish they showed flashbacks of Richard and Clarrissa's *perfect love*
I’m glad they didn’t, leave it to our imagination
@@RsAriarch good point. That's the strength of The Hours. It never paints it all before our eyes. Such an intelligent and touching movie.
I'm in love with this scene
Brilliantly acted by both artists. Nicole gets to the skin of the character and delivers an Oscar worthy performance indeed. A brilliant movie and truly a masterpiece.
3:18 THIS is the Nicole I want to see. Or Big Little Lies or The Others. Not as Lucy Ricardo.
8:33 that kiss...so brief, but a faint reminder of what they had when they were young. Sometimes, you never get over someone. I think that was part of the reason he committed suicide. He knew he was holding her back from moving on.
I think that’s he kissed her… he knew then he was going to.
Mery streep is beautiful on here
No matter what you start with it ends up being so much less
Nicole deserved best actress
I always thought Richard was the father of Clarrisa's daughter and that the reason why Clarissa didn't reveal that (hence the excuse that she never met him), was because of what Laura did.
Nice theory!
3:15 - 3:21 “and the Oscar goes to...”
Chills
I wouldn't have answered him. What im not here

There were no treatments back then.
OMG this scene was everything! I love this movie. "I'm dying in this town!"
This Actor is Superb.
I feel this way every day of my life. There is no escape from it.
I pray you are doing better !
May you be free from suffering.

Oh god she never shuts up. I’d push in her in the river myself. Talk about the life of the party. Lighten up Francis.
Edd Harris deserved Oscar for his role, definitely
This, pollock, and in A History of Violence, William Hurt showed up on a weekend and out-weirded him as a mob boss- dude is in the passed over hall of fame
I agree
@@sistergrimace1567 He was robbed for this, and BRAZENLY robbed for POLLOCK (his masterpiece).
@@stevenconifer2676 Currently watching him in Westworld. I'm just in awe of his incredible range. So talented 😎. Looking forward to Pollock.

Wow. What a remarkable response. I felt that. 👊
you have my compassion...

"I've endured this custody. Endured this imprisonment." Amazing lines
Poor Leonard he doesn't understand her illness no matter how hard to try.
In those days, they automatically assumed the person is just crazy.

@@Sebastian37s Even Mulholland Drive, which is considered to be one of the greatest films made in 21st century thus far...
So, is she codependent?
Ryder E I’ve seen it like a hundred times.
she's in love with him
@@stephaniesunderland1974 In a different way, though.

@@JK-xz6mj Clarissa and Richard are bisexual, and were/are with different people now. What's the weird pansexual episode?
Had to watch this after Vita an Virginia. Nicloe Kidman is still the best at playing VW.
