CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Laura (Julianne Moore) returns upon Richard's death, and confesses her story to Clarissa (Meryl Streep).
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Three women, separated by a span of nearly 80 years, find themselves weathering similar crises, all linked by a single work of literature in this film adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Michael Cunningham. In 1923, Virginia Woolf (Nicole Kidman) is attempting to start work on her novel Mrs. Dalloway, in which she chronicles one day in the life of a troubled woman. But Virginia has demons of her own, and she struggles to overcome the depression and suicidal impulses that have followed her throughout her life, as her husband Leonard (Stephen Dillane) ineffectually tries to help. In 1951, Laura Brown (Julianne Moore) is a housewife living in suburban Los Angeles, where she looks after her son Richie (Jack Rovello) and husband Dan (John C. Reilly). Laura is also an avid reader who is currently making her way through Mrs. Dalloway. The farther she gets into the novel, the more Laura discovers that it reflects a dissatisfaction she feels in her own life, and she finds herself pondering the notion of leaving her life behind. Finally, in 2000, Clarissa Vaughn (Meryl Streep) is a literary editor who is caring for Richard Brown (Ed Harris), a former boyfriend and noted author, who is slowly losing his fight with AIDS. Clarissa is trying to arrange a party to celebrate the fact that Richard has won a prestigious literary award, but is getting little help from Richard's ex-lover, Louis (Jeff Daniels). As she labors to help Richard through another day, he wonders if his life is worth the unending struggle. The Hours also features Toni Collette, Miranda Richardson, Allison Janney, and Claire Danes.

Julianne Moore's performance is perfect as the movie itself.
"What does it mean to regret when you have no choice.... "
Meryl and Julianne in 1 movie... and it was amazing!
I don't know how Julianne doesn't get the Oscar for this role. One of the Academy's failure.
Julianne is amazing, but Catherine is Superior!!!
@@viantzpradz4771 you could say that in 2002 but not in general.
I think Nicole Kidman won that year.
@@hazelrae4555 Kidman won for leading role, while Moore was nominated as supporting actress, and lost (outrageously, in my opinion) to Zeta-Jones. One of the controversies of that edition is that actually both Kidman and Moore could have been nominated in the leading role, since both of them had similar running time in the film
@@MrMartinportnoy moore was nominated for "Far from heaven "
Julianne Moore played this role to perfection! She's incredible!
The hours - her explanation of why she had to abandon her children - very powerful moment in the film
love it
This is my all time favorite movie. Can't express how much I love this...
PV Donitsi oh my god me too! I love this movie. Julianne Moore's performance, Meryl Streep's, Kidman's, Harris', I mean 😍😍😍
Me too
I learned so much about soundtracks when I saw the movie…. and I heard for the first time Jessey Norman and the Strauß
Every time I see this film, I suffer so horribly that I promise myself never to see it again. After a few months I do it again. This is sublime. This scene is absolutely perfect.
it is a profound moment, solving many things and entangling the narrative even further... she "chose life" when it was "death"
On the other side virginia wants to choose death than Richmond! There is Contradiction between writer and reader .
And her chosing of "life" signified the death for all her family.
She chose life... And everything changed. Those eyes. Beautiful. 🖤
How the hell haven't she won a goddamn Oscar for this performance? I mean, she and meryl had a common scene and she was way better........ Such a deep movie.....
Teljes mertekben egyet ertek.
Well, Meryl did not say a thing in that scene.
Meryl Streep's performance in this film was really unsung. Kidman and Moore deservedly got praise for their performances, but Streep really knocked it out of the park as well as Clarissa. She made her so layered and vulnerable, like she leaves me in awe.
"It was death. I chose life."
Just for that "it was death" phrase with Julianne Moore staring to the side, the movie is worth watching. The perfect movie. 1:54
Nice observation on her gaze, adds a different meaning once you notice that
It was death I chose life ! Words can’t describe this scene .
Julian Moore is extraordinary in this role and movie. It's extraordinary movie. Each detail of it
Having these two in a scene together is just perfect. I love this movie.
Meryl says so, so much with her eyes at 0:47. She wouldn't have planned that, either...that would have been one take of several different reactions.
She says in a very profund way, I was a lesbian too and i maried and had children buscase those were diferente times, i was unhappy and had to scape.
Meryl and Julianne two of the most amazing actors. Great movie thank you for clip
such a perfect scene, i love them both
Movie known for the performances.. This best scene of the movie.. Crux
Yea they left one of the finest scenes for last ,what a spectacular job done by Juliena Moore , absolutely stunning
Best performance in the film.
My argument would be it would be better to abandon a family than stay with one if miserable, thus making them miserable. Of course, her son was miserable in her absence because she never explained to him why she left. Complicated. In a weird way if she had killed herself it would have at least allowed her son to understand that she could not bear her life. Is it cowardice? Lack of responsibility? This film has no easy answers, and that is why it was great.
It was selfishness and unwillingness/inability to sacrifice for something she did not find contentment with, her choice though impacted her child, and while understandable, she needs to take stock of that.
@@valeria-militiamessalina5672
You make it sound too easy.
When you’re at a point of being suicidal, is not that you can just put up with the situation. She even says it “it’s what you can bear, it was death, I chose life”.
I feel your comment lacks any sense of empathy.
@@danielchalabi658 sorry for my bad english. But I a good part of my life I be like the son of Laura, I know the situation. But a explanation its necesary to bring a little peace, I never had I explanation. I only can live and wait something good. Its my only hope.
It was too much to handle : offspring she didn't want to ; not being able to work since it's the 50s ; it is implied she is bisexual / lesbian because of the scene with Kitty...
No wonder she wanted to kill herself. She chose life, instead
Sadly, most people don’t understand and empathise with others having suicidal tendencies…
Julianne Moore was outstanding as well as Meryl. We don’t see these type of movies anymore.
A MASTER CLASS BETWEEN 2 LEGENDS!! THEIR TECNIQUE IS BEYOND THIS WORLD
This is like Meryl talking to an older version of the character she played in Kramer vs Kramer.
This is my favorite scene. I wonder if Clarissa forgives her at the end?
I think Julianne Moore > Nicole Kidman > Meryl Streep in this movie
amazing! two brilliant actors for all time!!!
It's difficult to me sympathize with Laura, when many scenes of the movie shows that her choice of leaving her family to "live" probably was the cause of the death of her husband and children - including Richard, that seems to became a fragile man because he loosed her mother's presence at a very early age. And the worst is that she talks about it in a very cold way, without any trace of remorse or sadness.
The movie was about different kinds of depression
Incidentally, some enterprising writer ought to write that in-movie novel "by Richard Brown," essentially fill in the gaps of the somehow foundational back story of the Wellfleet summer rental(?) in the 1960s, Richard's ultimately killing off his mother figure in the novel, his private Mrs. Dalloway, and barely anything about "the weird" Louis Walters. I'd love to read it, if only for the pleasure of seeing how the author's creative mind has managed to bridge the many in the movie alluded-to narrative crumbs…
You have to wait 10 years.
One of the best movie !
Excellent cast
I love it, is perfect
Are you sure that Meryl Streep is the greatest actress ever ???!!!
We are. Greatest LIVING ACTOR at least.
Elijah Stevenson I believe many great actresses are as good as Meryl and sometimes they’re better just like Julianne Moore in this movie, she was much better than Meryl Streep!
@@muhanadmuhanad7019 yeah IN THIS movie in particular.
@@muhanadmuhanad7019 Well she had a juicier part than Meryl in this film. Just think if Meryl had played that role.
@@muhanadmuhanad7019 Well if Meryl had Julianne's part I am sure she would have done just as good of a job if not better than Julianne
One of the best 💯
I don't know what to think of Laura. I'd be lying if I said I couldn't relate to her because I absolutely could. I've always been the girl content to sit by herself and read, but I don't understand why she had to abandon her children? Couldn't she have become a librarian in her own town? Maybe she thought she was helping her family by not letting them see her anguish. I do feel sorry for Richard though, Laura too.
It's obvious that Laura was ''forced'' into her marriage and life out of conformity. She felt like there was a certain social role she had to fulfill, something which a lot of people do and/or struggle with. At a certain point, she probably realized that it wasn't the life she should be living and decided to escape. How she did it was terrible for everyone involved but you only live one life and you go to live it to the fullest.
I also think Laura most probably could have been a lesbian. She felt a romantic/sexual desire towards her female friend and she didn't care much for her husband, especially when he wanted to have sex with her.
yes !! after the war, women were kind of expected to marry servicemen by society and when dan proposed to Laura, there was the social pressure to accept that and it's not what she truly wanted, and that's why she gets really embarrassed when Dan talks about her because to her, it's a reminder that she's living a life she never wanted in the first place. The kiss was more a motif throughout the whole film that symbolises the need and desire for understanding and is used to represent reaching out to connect and be understood :-)
I assume she discovered she was a lesbian, and leading a lesbian life was not an option at the time, that's why she says 'it was death, I chose life'
@@OpheliaNL I think it is easy to say she was a lesbian, she was just a woman struggling with life...be it a lesbian, a heterosexual, and whatever...it could be the story of so many people...
The fact was that her choice of "life" meant the death of all her family, including Richard, that became a very fragile adult. And the worst of all was that she told it in a very cold way, without any trace of remorse or sadness.
This movie is practically my biography.
What happened to you?
Catherine Zeta-Jones deserved the oscar win but I wouldn’t be surprised if Moore have won it instead.
Meryl Streep deserved to win for Adaptation. One of her best performances to date.
Moore should have won outright
Zeta-Jones did not deserve the Oscar. Her role was showing not acting. It is like Jolie in Girl Interrupted. The supporting actress winners are full of that. Just doing a lot of ridiculousness to be noticed
😔😔😔😔 sad scentences talk mother guess🙄🙄

Why does Laura Brown leave?
She chose to live the life she always wanted.
As a Canadian librarian assistant? o_O
Even in 1950 women were expected to stay at home, produce children, wait for their husbands, cook and play with the kids, then be all smiley and happy so their tired husbands would feel better after a long day at work.
Laura was already 40 so there probably weren't many opportunities for women in her age. Her being a librarian assistant doesn't sound as a "dream job" to us now, but for her it was a big step and the point was that she started to lead the life she always wanted. For once in her life she decided for herself, not her husband or society. She wanted to be an independent woman and playing wifey was making her depressed. (It's also hinted that she might have been a homosexual because she kissed Kitty but it might also be that she was trying to console her). Anyway, the point is that after leaving her family she was finally happy because she was in control of her life. She had no choice... "It [her life] was death. I chose life"
Ah, good point! :)
Some Curiosities It's just my interpretation but I love this film so I had to express my opinion ! :)
I left both my children. I abandoned them 💔💔❤️🩹❤️🩹😭😭😭😭😭 I’m crying over this over and over. Cuz I understand her but the pain of her kids too
It was death. I chose life.
