Review of The Hours (2002) by Sophia W — 30 Dec 2009
"Dear Leonard. To look life in the face, always, to look life in the face and to know it for what it is. At last to know it, to love it for what it is, and then, to put it away. Leonard, always the years between us, always the years. Always the love. Always the hours. - Virginia Woolf".
One of the most honest film I've seen. It is real and simple that could give a big impact to everyone who will watch this film. It will shake your principles and mindsets. It teaches the pursuit of happiness. Wherever our happiness may lead us we may follow it whatever it will take. Whether to change our own life or to end it itself.
This should win best picture not Chicago. This film is definitely one of the best. The idea of 3 women with interconnected life was great! The direction was flawless. The cast was great. The concept was so original. The way how Virginia Woolf's life affected Clarissa's and Laura's life. I think the pullback of the film is the film having no charm at all. It was a great film but forgettable. About the cast, I don't agree with Nicole Kidman being the lead actress. I would rather choose Julianne Moore. She was great in this film but she didn't "stand out" out of the three of them. Any way, The ending was nice. Everything is good about this film. I hope to see more quality films.
