Leonard Woolf was an angelic husband. He hired cooks and maids so Virginia could focus all her energy on writing. He made her a room of her own. "Room of her Own" is one of the greatest feminist writings ever written.
I cried at that part. I relate to her alot. I have bipolar and am a creative mind. always have been. And being so very sensitive causes such very large pain in the soul. I have thought these things about my family many times.... that they would be better without the impingement of me.
I remember when I was at the lowest point of my life and suffering a mental breakdown with panic attacks and phobias and loneliness relating so much to this scene. This truly is one of the most touching and best films of all times!
Totally agree. And I think people with depression can relate to a lot of situations and understand the feelings conveyed by the characters through their body language. Julianne Moore plays a character not all can relate to - her disconfort, her sadness, and restlesness, her struggle inside. It's not something she verbalises, but something she does with her eyes, her body, her actions. I related a lot with that character in particular precisely because she didn't say what she felt... she gave us a "show" of emotions, hidden emotions, even. And yet, one can see through her... if one pays attention, or feels the same. Many people don't get her character. It's not out in the open.
Antonio Cox It's so sad that someone feels so much despair that her or his only option is to take their own life. Could Virginia Wolfe have been helped but probably in those days, clinical depression wasn't something that was as recognized as today
It is maybe THE Movie people not suffering from depression will never fully understand.The suffering,the struggling,that darkness....what a beatiful movie and outstanding performances.
To those who believe suicide a sin and its doers cowards, it definitely doesn't "have to happen" but try to emphasise with the suffering and torment that drove these people to the brink. Terrible things must have happened to make a person give up the hope of living...most of them don't want it too, deep down they know they shouldn't but we all have our limits as we have pain thresholds. So emphasise and help these ppl instead of labelling them. And I don't think this movie is romanticising suicide, it just shows how it can be a very rational decision made on the grounds of guilt and empathy, not selfishness.
Wow that is a powerful statement... everyone has their own views on suicide and its really what is going on with that person and We think we know someone inside and out but to be honest we don't especially when it comes to something like this***
As a child I used to watch this movie over and over again, but I couldn't understand her behavior. Living with the same illness two decades later, I'm sad to say that now I do.
I remember when I was a child my Dad used to play 'Starry Starry Night', a song about Van Gogh, in the car. I asked him about it and he explained the story. I remember how strange and foreign it seemed to me that someone would kill themselves. Years later, it doesn't seem strange anymore.
Dearest, I feel certain I am going mad again. I feel we can't go through another of those terrible times. And I shan't recover this time. I begin to hear voices, and I can't concentrate. So I am doing what seems the best thing to do. You have given me the greatest possible happiness. You have been in every way all that anyone could be. I don't think two people could have been happier till this terrible disease came. I can't fight any longer. I know that I am spoiling your life, that without me you could work. And you will I know. You see I can't even write this properly. I can't read. What I want to say is I owe all the happiness of my life to you. You have been entirely patient with me and incredibly good. I want to say that - everybody knows it. If anybody could have saved me it would have been you. Everything has gone from me but the certainty of your goodness. I can't go on spoiling your life any longer. I don't think two people could have been happier than we have been.
And that is why she is so adorable. She killed herself not for her own selfish reasons, but because she didn' t want to be a burden on the life of her loved ones. Plus, in World War II London suffered greatly from nazi attacks, which broke her heart. Her London home was destroyed! She lived in Sussex, but loved London immensely. And she has so severe moods and hallucinations, and no effective medications, that she wanted to crawl her own eyes out a lot of times. Yet, when she was in control of her own body and emotions, she wrote magnificent, visionary things like The Lighthouse, A Room OF One' s Own and Mrs. Dalloway, among others. I believe we have the right to kill ourself when we are not useful, productive to anyone anymore, including ourselves, and we are just vegetating, despite we have tried everything to better our condition.
Im so sad for all those souls who vanished in mental illness, when treatment wasnt as available. I have an anxiety disorder and live a more stable life now on antideppressants.
Beautifully filmed and magnificently written movie. I read "Mrs. Dalloway", "A Room of One's Own" and "The Hours" afterward. My favorite scene is the final one with Julianne Moore and Meryl Streep.
Many years ago I visited Monks House. My friend was doing a dissertation about the influence of Bloomsbury art on literature and we have just come away from visiting Charleston Farmhouse. We drove up the track to the house and I urged my friend to run up the path the house, because we were late and she needed to see the house more than I. There was one other car in the car park and I parked reasonably close to it (why do we do this?). As I turned to get out of my vehicle I sensed there was somebody in the other car. I turned around and looked into the face of Virginia Woolf, sitting in the car eating an apple. I am not sure whether she noticed me or not! Was it her? Was it an ardent follower or her who liked to dress like her? I shall never know, but the person I saw was the spitting image of Woolf. A couple of years later I telephoned Monks House and told them this story and they replied that other people had purported to see the ghost of Virginia Woolf. So - a mystery to this day.
I think when suicide starts to call to you everything seems extremely detrimental and it consumes you. The pain that people cause you can interfere with your will and thus it starts to deteriorate your heart. That weight of the burden of unjustifiable aches in your chest, chokes your eith tears and all you want is to stop that.
The highest human freedom should be the one allowing to decide if one wants to come into existence. Since we haven't been granted that, at least we are free to decide when to end the game💙
This scene in the hours has taken a few 'artistic' liberties. At the time of her death, Woolf was 59 and greying. She took her life at the end of March when few plants or trees in England are either in leaf or flower. The Ouse at Rodmell is tidal and lined by steep, muddy banks. The landscape here is quite stark and there are few trees or hedges. On her last journey to the river bank, Woolf wore a fur coat and wellington boots and she used a walking stick (which was found on the river bank by Leonard, alongside her footprints in the mud going down to the water).
I agree. I had a good reason to pick on VW though: I'm doing a module on Modernism at uni and so far have enjoyed it, until Mrs Dalloway crossed my path! Still, one must remain objective and at least try!
Thanks - you are right, of course. I had reason to lash out at VW though; I'm doing a module on Modernist writers at uni, and was enjoying it until Mrs Dalloway crossed my path. Still, one must try to be objective about these things!
But suicide ... It doesn't end pain. It just shifts pain. Her pain is going to be his pain now. Do people ever ask before killing themselves, do they ask their parents, siblings, lovers, friends, that can you live without me? Truth is everybody can live on, but can they live on happily? No they don't. A part of them doesn't want to find out. A part of them is too tired. And people say that you should let such people go, people who are caged in their existence. But I've heard it being said, I've rarely seen it being done because the pain shifts before the person can even think. The pain shifts too quickly, bereavement is the first emotion that comes and crashes in waves; understanding is a long long way down. And the path to that understand is the most hellish one.
She could have made a better choice! Why kill herself? Nicole Kidman played her and she won an Oscar for her performance as Virginia Woof. This is her suicide note.
"If anybody could have saved me it would have been you."
Probably the most heart-breaking line from the letter.
in which sense?
@@seeuathebeach imagine youre the husband.
Now you should get it 😊
"i can't go on spoiling your life any longer.''
And there are people who consider suicide selfishness.

'The Hours," released in 2002. That's Nicole Kidman as Virginia (she won the Oscar and Golden Globe for it)

Hey note proved how talented her words were. How unfortunate that she was such a tortured writer. To suffer for her talents. So sad :(
when someone can feel your pain genuinely and worry too is a great blessing not everyone can have that
An absolutely gorgeous piece of writing.
very beautyful, but sad, depression and sadness is a nigthmare.
not a nightmare...but a daymare :) depression loves night and sleep. it is a little bit closer to death.

I agree. Just because some things are ''a part of life" and "it happens" doesn't mean it should be that way.
Espetacular! Um dos melhores filmes já feitos, a trilha sonora então nem se fala!
Brilliant reading.

Oh my God.. This is just awesome. This is not in the movie, is it? I had never seen this scene before! Really incredible.. Wow wow wow.
Respect - going out like a boss.

Failure wrote a song called Wet Gravity, which is about her.

'The best thing to do...'
What's the name of the song??
The Poet Acts????
"Never Let Me Go" is also about her sucide...
That's good, and it's probably healthier not to take our aggressions out on the dead.

The tragedy is that he would have stood by her regardless.

It is the very first scene of the film..you must have been getting popcorn.

such a good video m8

This was Nicole Kidman. Moore played the 1950s housewife.
😥😥😥

allways!!!!!!!!!!!

yep, Swampy.
I don't really enjoy her writing that much (maybe one day I will), so I can sympathize.

Should someone live in suffer forever only for avoiding other people to suffer?

Yes.
No debate.
She could have made a better choice! Why kill herself? Nicole Kidman played her and she won an Oscar for her performance as Virginia Woof. This is her suicide note.
Why did she kill herself even though she was going to go back to London with Leonard?
however, her attempt at sylvia plath was a desecration.
Wasn't that Gwyneth Paltrow?
What a shit film. Nice letter, but holy moly cliches abound.
