Review of The Hours (2002) by Ching L — 31 Aug 2012
"The time to hide is over. The time to regret is gone. The time to live in now.".
That pretty much sums up the movie.
True, the movie is sort of depressing and morbid in its own intoxicating way. Nearly everyone in the movie has a suicidal tendency. But it carries a positive message. To LIVE the hours. The choice of life or death. The lines are beautiful and the performances are superb. The music puts the movie together perfectly, quietly bringing shivers down your spine.
The plot is clever and timelines are meshed in small, exquisite accents. The river which engulfed Virginia Woolf flooding over Laura, "Mrs Dalloway", minute details carefully sew the story together like an entwining thread.
Great movie. Great lines.
