I feel certain that 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 'til 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 thisproperly. 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.

"T H E H O U R S"Dearest,I feel certain, that I'm going mad again.I think we can't go through another of these terrible timesand I shan't recover this time.I begin to hear voicesand can't concentrate.So I'm 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 know that I'm spoiling your lifeand without me you could workand you will.I know.You see I can't even write this properly.What I want to say is that I owe all the happiness of my life to you.You have been entirely patient with meand incredibly good.Everything is gone for 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.Virginia."T H E H O U R S"Morning, doctor! -Mr. Woolf.A little worse, I think. -I see.My thing is to keep her where she is.Good morning, Leonard.Good morning, Virginia.How was your sleep?Uneventful.Headaches? - No, no headaches.Doctor seemed pleased.It's all from this morning? -Yes.This young man has submitted his manuscript.I found three errors of fact and two spelling mistakes and I'm not yet on page four.Had breakfast?Yes.Liar.Virginia, it's not my insistence but the doctor's.I'd better send Nelly up with some fruit in the parlour.Right... lunch then.Proper lunch, husband and wife sitting down together...soup... pudding and all.By force if necessary.Leonard, I believe I may have the first sentence.Work then.Then you must eat.Mrs. Dalloway saidshe would buy the flowers herself.Mrs. Dalloway said that she would buy the flowers herself.Sally, I think I'll buy the flowers myself.What?What flowers?Shit!You're never gonna be a big boy if you don't eat your breakfast.You're gonna be the big brother - it's a very important job.Happy birthday.Good morning, honey.Oh, Dan!Roses on your own birthday - too much, really...Hope he'll eat it now you're here.It is your birthday, you shouldn't be up buying me flowers.Well, you were still sleeping - So...We decided it would be better if we let you to sleep a little, didn't we? Good morning, Bug.You need to rest, Laura. You're only 4 months away.Don't, I'm fine... just tired.I was telling him he's got to eat his breakfast!That's true.So, it's a beautiful day!What are you two going to do?We've got our plans, don't we?What plans?Well, it wouldn't be much of a party,if I told you every detail in advance?I'd better stop asking questions, ahah?!.Look, the time - I'd better get going.Have a good day.You too!Dan, happy birthday.Thank you.You need to finish your breakfast.Well, I'm gonna make a cake.That's what I'm gonna do.I'm gonna make a cake for daddy's birthday.Mommy, can I help?Can I help make the cake?Of course you can, sweetie.I'm not gonna do anything without you.No, of course, you have to come.Of course.Well, I always wanted you... And everybody involved in the ceremony.I don't know it. Around sixty?Well...it will...it'll mean so much.The whole occasion.It's the least I can do - have a nice dinner and say thanks to everybody. You have made so much for him.Oh, take that as a "yes".He'll be thrilled! -Oh, my god!I'm thrilled, oh, good! - What if nobody comes?This is Clarissa Vaughan.Yes, I'm just confirming that you are sending a car to pick up me first. Hi, Clarissa! -Hi, hi, Brenda!And then going over to 679 Hudson at 9:40.Then you will take me uptown and you will wait for us...It'll be over at 7 o'clock.Oh, flowers!What a beautiful morning.Hello, Clarissa.How are you?I'm having a party.My friend Richard has won the "Corroders".Wow, that's just terrific!if I knew what it was...It is a poetry prize...for a life's work.It's the most prestigious.For a poet, it's the best you can do.Oh, very good. So, what do you like? The lilies are perfect.No, too morbid.Hydrangeas, I think.And...oh, oh, let's just have buckets of roses! And...I think I'm gonna take these with me.Rodney.Thank you.I actually tried to read Richard's novel...You did?Oh, I know.It is not easy.I know. It did take him ten years to write.Maybe just takes another ten to read.It's you isn't it?In the novel. Isn't it meant to be you?Oh, I see!Yeah, sort of.I mean...in a way.Richard's a writer that's what he is...He uses things which actually happened. - Yeah... And years ago he and I were students, that's true. But, you know, then he changes things. -Oh, sure!I don't mean in a bad way.It's more like...he makes them his own.A woman's whole life...in a single day.Just one day.And in that day...her whole life.This is what we need, shortening.Mrs. Dalloway.It's you! -Yes.It's me! It's me!Come in.Oh, Richard, is a beautiful morning!We should let in a little more light.Is it still morning?Yes, it is.Have I died?Good morning, my dear.Any visitors?Yes.Are they still here?No, they've gone.How do they look? -Today?Sort of like black fire.Sort of light and dark at the same time.There was one that was as an electrified jellyfish.It was singing.May have been Greek.So, the ceremony is at 5.Do you remember?And then...the party is right after.They did bring you breakfast, didn't they?What a question...of course.Richard, you did eat it?Well, can you see it?Is it here?Do you see breakfast lying around?No, I don't see it.Well, then I must have eaten it, mustn't I?I suppose.Does it matter?Of course it matters.You know what the doctors say.Have you been skipping pills?Of course, I can't take this.Take what?To be proud and brave...in front of everybody.Honey, it's not a performance.Of course it is! I got the prize for my performance.That is nonsense.I got the prize for having AIDS and going nuts...and being brave about it!I actually got the prize for having come through! -It's not true. For surviving! -It's not true!That's what I won it for!Do you think they would have given it to me if I were healthy?! Yes, as a matter of fact I do!Is it here somewhere?What?The prize?I'd like to look at it.No, you haven't gotten it yet.It is tonight.Are you sure?I remember the ceremony perfectly.I seem to have fallen out of time.Richard.Richard.It is a party.It's only a party.Populated entirely with people who respect and admire you. Ha, small party, is it?Select party, is it?Your friends.I thought I lost all my friends.I thought I drove my friends crazy.Jesus. -Oh, Mrs. Dalloway...... always giving parties...to cover the silence.Richard...you won't need to do anything - all you have to do is appear... sit on the sofa.And I will be there.This is a group of peoplewho wanna tell you your work is going to live.Will it be this way?Is my work going to live?I can't go through all this.Why do you say that?I can't!Why?Because I wanted to be a writer, that's all.And?I wanted to write about it all.Everything that happens in a moment.The way the flowers look when you carry them in your arms. This towel - how it smells, how it feels...it's thread.All our feelings - yours and mine.The history of it.Who we once were.Everything in the world.Everything mixed up.Like it's all mixed up now.And I failed.I failed.No matter what you start up with, it ends up being so much less. Sheer fucking pride!And stupidity.We want everything, don't we?I suppose we do.You kissed me on a beach.Yeah.Do you remember?How many years ago.Of course I do.What did you wantCome closer.I'm right here.Come closer. Would you please?Take my hand.Would you be angry...Would I be angry if you didn't show up at the party?Would you be angry if I died?If you died?Who is this party for?What do you mean who is it for?Why are you asking? What are you trying to say?I am not trying to say anything.I'm saying I think I'm only staying alive to satisfy you.So that is it we do.That is what people do - they stay alive for each other.The doctors told you - you don't need to die.They told you. You can live this for years.Well, exactly!I don't accept this.I don't accept what you say.Oh, and it is for you to decide, is it?How long have you been doing that?How many years...cleaning for the apartment...What about your own life?What about Sally?Just wait till I die,and you'll have to think of yourself.How are you going to like that?Richard...it would be great if you did come to the party,if you felt well enough to come.Just to let you know that I am making the crab thingnot that I imagine it makes any difference to you.Of course it makes a difference, I love the crab thing.Clarissa.Yes...I'll be back at 3:30and will help you get dressed.Wonderful!Three thirty.Wonderful.It's on this day,this day of all days,her fate becomes clear to her.Excuse me, Mrs. Woolf.Mr. Woolf said I was to come and speak with you.Nearly finished, Nelly. Wait for me in the kitchen. I'll be done very soon. What happens isshe says she wants something then it turns out she doesn't!Well, she never does, does she?She never wants anything!But when she wants something in particular...it's a sure sign.I wish I've been thereI wish I had tone!If you give that look!I said "madam"Yes, Nelly, tell me. How can I help?It's about lunch.I just had to go ahead on my own.I understand.You chose a pie...I chose a lamb pie.That seems suitable.You being so busy with your writing...I'd no instructions.You do remember that my sister is comingat four with the children?Yes, Madam. I had not forgotten.China tea, I think.And ginger.Ginger, Madam...I'd like to give the children a treat.We'll have to go to London for ginger, Madam.I haven't finished this, and there's the rest of lunch to get ready.The 12:30 train, Nelly, will get you into London just after one,if you return on the 2.30, you should be back in Richmond soon after 3.Do I miscalculate?No!Well then, is something detaining you Nelly?I can't think of anything more exhilarating than a trip to London.Good morning, Mrs. Woolf.Good morning.We shall publish no more new authors.I have to tell you I've discovered ten errors in the first proof.Less bad than there are them opposing."Pasandale was a charn錶-house...from which no min return"!Do you think it's possible that bad writing actually attracts a higher incidence of error?If it's all right, I thought I might take a short walk.Not far?No, just over there.Go then.If I could walk mid-morning, I'd be a happy man.She'll die.She's going to die.That's what's going to happen.She'll kill herself.She'll kill herself over something which doesn't seem to matter.Let us think.You greased the pan, mommy.I know I greased the pan, sweetheart, even mommy knows that.This is what we're gonna do.Flour.Bowl.Sifter.Can I do it, mommy?Can I sift the flour?Yes, you can sift the flower,baby, if that's what makes you happy.Isn't it beautiful?Don't you think it looks like snow?OK. Now...the next thing...the next thing I'm gonna show youis to measure up the cuts.Mommy, it isn't that difficult.I know, I know it isn't difficult, it's just that I...just wanna do this for daddy.Because it's his birthday?That's right.Bake him the cake to show him that we love him. Otherwise he won't know we love him?That's right.I got all stuff!I'm going right out again.My God, what a zoo!Why do people have to talk about dry cleaning?What is it there to talk about?I bought you some flowers.Where are you?In here.I got someone at work to cover me. I'll be with you all night. Are you all right?Sure.I guess you saw Richard.That's right.Well, of course...I bet he said: "Oh, by the way, honey, can I skip the party?" Don't worry, he always shows up...Oh, sure!...in the end.What?Richard missing a chance to talk about his work?I don't think so. He'll show up.You did the seating?I did.I don't believe it - Louis Waters! Is Louis coming?!Richard's Louis?He is.You put him next to me...Why do I always have to sit next to the ex-es?Is it some kind of hint, sweetheart?Shouldn't the ex-es have table of their own,where they can all "ex" togetherI'm off.Try not to pass out from excitement.Clarissa, it's going to be beautiful.Thank you.You're welcome.Why is everything wrong?It didn't work!Damn it!It didn't work...Hi, Scott.Hi, Mrs. Barlow.Mommy, mommy, there's someone at the door!Hello?Laura?Hi, Laura, am I interrupting? -Of course not, come in.Are you all right?Why, sure!Hi, Richie!Sit down, I've got coffee on.Would you like some?Please.Oh, look, you made a cake!I know.Didn't work.I thought it was gonna work.I thought it would be better than that.Oh, Laura, I don't understand it why you find it so difficult!I don't know either.Everyone can make a cake - it's ridiculously easy.I bet you didn't grease the pan.I greased the pan.All right.You know, you have other virtues.And Dan loves you so much he won't even notice. Whatever you do, he's gonna say it's wonderful.Well, it's true!Does Ray have a birthday?Sure he does!When is it?September.We go to the country club.We always go to the country club.We drink martinis and spend the day with fifty people. Ray's got a lot of friends.Oh, he does...You both have a lot of friends.You are good at it.How is Ray? I haven't seen him in a while.Ray's fine.These guys are something, aren't they?Oh, yes, you can say that again.They came home from the war... They deserved it, didn't they?After all they've been through. -What...did they deserve?I don't I guess... all this.Oh, you are reading a book. - Yeah.What's this one about?Well, it'a about...This woman is incredibly... Well, she's a hostess, and she's incredibly confidentand she's going to give a party. And maybe because she's confident, everyone thinks she's fine...But she isn't.So?Kitty, what is it? Is there something wrong?I have to go to the hospital for a couple of days.Kitty...I have some kind of...ghost in my uterus and...we're gonna go in and take a look.When?This afternoon.I need you to feed the dog.Of course.Is that what you came here to ask?What did the doctors say exactly?That's probably what the trouble's beenwith not getting pregnant.The thing is...I mean, you know...I've been very happy with Ray.And now it turns out that there was a reason ...a reason I couldn't conceive.You are lucky, Laura.I don't think you can call yourself a woman until you're a mother.And the joke is...all my life I could do everything.I mean, could do anything, really.Except the one thing I wanted.Yes. -That's all.Oh, at least now you will be able to deal with it.That's right.That's what they're doing. - That's right... - I'm not worried.No, it is not in your hands.That's it...It's in the hands of some physician I've never even met!Some surgeon who probably drinks more martinis than Ray and... Oh, Kitty!God, I am so worried about Ray.Come here. - I'm doing fine, really.I know, I know you are.I'm more worried about Ray, if anything isn't that good with this stuff. Forget about Ray...just forget about Ray.You were sweet.You know the routine, right?You have the can in the evening... and check the water now and then... Ray'll feed him in the morning.Kitty, you didn't mind?What?I didn't mind what?Do you want me to drive you?I think I'll be better if I drive myself.Kitty, it's gonna be all right.Of course it is.Bye.What? What do you want?Mr. Woolf, Mrs. Bell has arrived!Not due till 4 o'clock.I can't help that...she is here!You are a perfect angel...Don't allow the boys make fun of you.Fly away.Virginia!Leonard thinks it's the end of civilization.people are invited at 4 ......and arrive at 2:30.Oh, God!Barbarians.Well, we finished lunch sooner than we imagined.I had to send to Nelly to London for sugar ginger.Oh, Virginia.You aren't so frightened of servants, are you?Come on!And how are you, sister?Frantic, it's been ridiculous in London.Ridiculous? How?Busy.Why is busy ridiculous?I would've invited you to our party, but...I knew you wouldn't come.Did you? How did you know that?I thought you never came to town.That's because you no longer ask me.Are you not forbidden to come?Do the doctors not forbid it?Oh, the doctors!Do you not pay heed to your doctors?Not when they are a bunch of contemptible Victorians! So, what do you say? Are you feeling better?Has this fastness made you stronger?I'm saying, Vanessa, that even crazy people like to be asked. Nessa, Nessa, Nessa...Hello cherubs.What have you got?What have you found? - We found a bird.Did you? Where did you find that?I think he must have fallen from a tree.Oh my Goodness! Just look at him.We might be able to save him.Save him?I think you have to be careful, Quentin.There's a time to die, and it may be the bird's time...Let's pick some grass to make a grave.Oh, Julian!I'm just saying, he at least needs a bed to die on.Come on, Nessa, let's make a grave!Nessa, come on!God, very well, I'm coming wait for me there!Angelica, we'll be all right, stay where you are.You're going too fast, ooh!Do you think she'd like roses?Is this a "she"?Yes, the females are largerand less colourful.What happens when we die?What happens?We return to the place that we came from.I don't remember where I came from.Nor do I.She's very small.Yes...yes, that's one of the things that happen...We look smaller.But very peaceful.Is it done? Have you finished?Is the bird funeral complete?Yes.Well then, are we going to be denied altogether for coming so early? No, of course not.Come on, come on, boys, we'll have a cup of tea.Oh, stop it, Julian!Julian, come inside!Hey, Bug, I got this idea.We're gonna make another cake.We're gonna make a better one.What happened to the first one?And after that I think we should go out!Yes?Clarissa? It's Louis.Louis Waters. -Louis?Oh my God, you're early.Do you mind? Is it all right?Oh, why should I mind?I'm delighted! -Well, now!I feel like I'm interrupting.No, why?I know the ceremony isn't until 5,but I flew in this morning.Well, Richard's going to be thrilled.He'll be thrilled to see you!You think so? - Of course.What are we doing? We should go in...Are you all right?Yes. It's nothing.It's just the party. - Oh, right.Oh, wow, it's looking beautiful! - Thanks.Are you still with...? - Yes, I am!Still with her. Ten years.It's crazy. -Why is it crazy?No reason... Would you like something to drink?Some water. - OK.Are you still an editor?Oh, sure. -For the same publisher?Uhum. How's San Francisco?Oh, it's one of those cities people tell you to like.Richard said he thought you were happy up there.Oh, great. This illness makes him psychic.You have to prepare yourself, Louis. He is very changed...I read the book. -Oh God.Exactly! I thought you were meant to do more than just change people's names. Well... -Isn't it meant to be fiction?He even had you living on 10th street.It isn't me. -Isn't it?You know how Richard is... it's a fantasy.A whole chapter on should she buy some nail polishand then guess what - after 50 pages she doesn't.The whole thing seems to go on for eternity; nothing happensand then, wham! For no reason she kills herself.His mother kills herself.Yeah, sure, his mother, but still for no reason.Well, I... -Out of the blue!I know the book is tough, but I liked it. I know.Only one thing upset me -What's that? What upset you?Well, that there wasn't more about you.That's kind.I went back to Wellfleet.You did? -One day. I didn't tell to you?No, but, then, I never see you.You remember the house... it's still there.I think you're courageous.Courageous? Why?To dare go visit...What I mean is, to face the factthat we have lost those feelings forever.Shit! -Clarissa?I don't know what's happening. I'm sorry.I seem to be in some strange sort of mood.I'm sorry - it's very rude of me.I seem to be unravelling.I shouldn't have come. -No, it's not you, it's not you!It's more like having a presentiment, do you know what I'm saying?Oh, God, it's probably just nerves about the party.You know...bad hostess.Clarissa, what's happening?Jesus! -What is it?Do you want me to go? -No, don't go!Don't go...explain to me why this is happening.Don't! Don't touch me.Jesus, is better if you don't.It's just too much. You flying from San Francisco...and I've been nursing Richard for years!And all the time I held myself togetherNo problem. -I know.One morning in Wellfleet... you were therewe were all there...I was sleeping with him and I was out on the porch.He came behind me and put his arm on my shoulder. Good morning, Mrs. Dalloway.From then on...I've been stuck.Stuck?With the name, I mean.And now you walk in.to see you walk in...'cause I never see you...look at you! Anyway, it doesn't matter. It was you he stayed with... And I had the summer.The day I left him...I got on a train and made my way across Europe.I felt free for the first time in years.So, tell me about San Francisco.What's to tell?They still teach drama to idiots.They can't all be idiots.In fact I shouldn't tell you this...I've fallen in love.Really? -Yes.With a student. -With a student?Exactly. I know...you thinkAm I still up for this? All this intensity, all those arguments, doors being slammed.But, you know, what it's like.Are you feeling better?A little.Thank you.Do you think I am ridiculous?Ridiculous?Fortunate, too.I'm gonna leave you at Mrs. Latch's.I have to do something.Mommy, I don't wanna go.You have to, I'm sorry. I have something to do before daddy gets home. Hello.Hi, Mrs. Latch. My boy is not very happy.Mommy, I don't wanna do this.I have to go, honey.Your mommy has things she has to do.Come in, I got cookies!So, baby...You have to be brave now.Don't worry. lt's gonna be fine.Honey!Come on, come on, darling!Mommy! -Stop it!No! Mommy! -Allright, you have to stop it!Mommy, mommy, mommy...Mommy, mommy, no!Breakfast is served between 7 and 11 in the regency room.And room service is available 24 hours.Thank you, madam.Is there anything else you need?Yes, hum...No...not to be disturbed."Did it matter then, she asked herself, walking toward Bond Street." "Did it matter that she must inevitably cease completely?""All this must go on without her...""Did she resent it...or did it not become consolingto believe that death ended absolutely?""It is possible to die.""It is possible to die."There was a lovely coat for Angelica at Harrods...then nothing for the boys. It seems unfair. Only Angelica is favored. Virginia?Virginia.Virginia!What are you thinking about?Are you still with us?Your aunt is very lucky, Angelica.She has two lives...she has the life she's leadingand also of the book she's writing.This makes her very fortunate indeed.What were you thinking about?I was going to kill my heroine.But I've changed my mind.I can't.And then I'll have to kill someone else instead.A fascinating visit.We enjoyed it thoroughly.You have to go already?I wish you wouldn't go.Oh, Virginia, the last thing you want is our noisyness!My hopeless, clumsy boys!Say goodbye, boys! -Bye! Bye!You return to Walt? -Tonight.To some insufferable dinner!Not even you could envy it, Virginia.But I do.Say something, Nessa! Didn't you think I seemed better?!

We can take it to the bedroom.I bumped into Louis Waters.Oh, you did? Where? -In the street.They're all here, aren't they? All the ghosts...All the ghosts are assembling for the party!He is... so weird.Oh, what? You can't see that?You can't see that Louis Waters is weird?I can see that he's sad.Mum, all your friends are sad.You've been crying. What's happening?All the day I looked around this room and thoughtI'm giving a party...all I wanna do is give a party!And?I know why he does it, he does it deliberately.Oh, is this Richard! -Of course.He did it this morning...he gives me that look.What look?To say...your life is trivial.You...are so...trivial.Just daily stuff, you know, schedules and parties, and...details - that's what he means.That is what he's saying.Mum, it only matters if you think it's true.Well? Do you? Tell me.When I am with him, I feelYes, I am living...and when I am not with him,yes, everything does seem sort of...silly.I don't mean with you, right! God!Never with you.Just all the rest of it.Sally?The rest of it.False comfort.Because?If you say to me when were you happiest. -Mum...Tell me the moment you were happiest.I know! I know, it was years ago.。
The Hours
文化传播学院新闻二班沈艺敏201100610187《The Hours》：我为的是我的心“要我选择留下来或者死亡，我选择死亡。
”维吉尼亚在她欲逃回伦敦的车站对伍尔芙先生说的这句话，让我顿悟了很多。
选择屈服于现实生活，或选择遵从于自己的心，我们每个人无时无刻处在这样的选择当中。
看《红楼梦》时，看到黛玉不顾贾宝玉的劝诫，对贾宝玉：“我为的是我的心。
”当时肤浅的以为这心指的是对宝玉的感情。
反复看了几遍之后，才明白这心是指一片冰心，即我所言所行之所以和别人不同，只是因为我所言所行都是从我的心而发，并不管他人那么多想法。
因此得罪了别人，那是因为我为的是我的心。
我想维吉尼亚为的也是自己的这份心吧。
《The Hours》探讨的便是女性的自我抗争。
三位女主人公来自不同的时代和地区。
维吉尼亚是生活在二十世纪二十年代英国里奇蒙小镇的天才女作家，正在完成她的一部小说《戴洛维夫人》，由于常年都游走在虚构与现实中，以及对于现实的思考，导致维吉尼亚出于精神濒临于崩溃的状态。
劳拉布朗生活在二战后的美国。
她是一名家庭主妇，且对《戴洛维夫人》有深深的共鸣，不满于生活的现状，思考生活的意义，让她萌生自杀的想法。
克拉丽莎是生活在21世纪的纽约。
《戴洛维夫人》一书，描绘戴洛维夫人从清晨为准备举行一场宴会而外出买花，到宴会行将结束。
而克拉丽莎正过着和戴洛维夫人一样的生活。
举办宴会掩饰内心的孤独，只为他人活着。
这部电影一个重要的特点便是对于蒙太奇手法作为艺术手段的灵活使用，它通过镜头场面、段落的分切与组接，创造出独特的电影时间和空间。
它用时空交叉的方式将三个不同时空的故事结合在一起。
并且由于“戴洛维夫人”这一本书及称呼，使得整部影片并不分散，而是紧紧将三个人物结合在一起。
且影片大多都是单个人物的近景或特写，使得整部影片对人物的心理表现得十分细腻。
影片一个独特的地方便是常常在维吉尼亚构思小说《戴洛维夫人》时所言成为另两个故事的话外音。
如维吉尼亚在说“一个女人的一生，都浓缩在一天中，只有一天，短短的一天，就是她的一生”时，影片的画面便是劳拉布朗在家里试着为丈夫做蛋糕、克拉丽莎买了花正要去照顾理查德的路上。

电影介绍 the hours (时时刻刻)
Laura Brown
Laura Brown, like many women of her generation, married young and has settled into the roles of wife and mother at a relatively young age. Although her husband -Dan is kind, her son loves her, and they live in a nice home. Laura is unhappy, because she feels as though she has woken up in someone else’s life.
Clarissa’s character is closely based on the title character of Virginia Woolf’s novel Mrs. Dalloway. Like the character in Woolf’s book, she has a wondrous outlook toward the world around her. Though she takes great pleasure in the day-to-day details of life, she questions the choices that she has made and has doubts about what her life has come to. She has strong feelings of nostalgia for her love affair with Richard and the sense of unchecked possibility that she had in her youth. Clarissa compares this period of wild, unabashed freedom to the domesticity of her present life. She loves the small domestic details of her life, and she enjoys the simple acts of buying flowers and keeping a beautiful apartment. At the same time, she wonders if all of it is enough and has doubts about whether she feels fulfilled by her life and her relationship with Sally. Even though she questions some of her choices, at the end of the day she takes comfort in the idea that the life has meaning because of those hours that are filled with supreme, wonderful pleasure.

the hours英文原著资源
the hours英文原著资源Title: "The Hours"In the pages of "The Hours," Michael Cunningham masterfully crafts a narrative that explores the intersection of three distinct lives, each woman grappling with her own version of "The Hours," a 1951 novel by Virginia Woolf. This profound exploration of female themes, identity, and the complexities of existence is both a celebration of the female spirit and a profound commentary on the challenges and triumphs of being a woman.The novel opens with Clarissa Vaughan, a fifty-two-year-old woman living in Los Angeles in 1999. She is a college professor and a divorced mother of two adult children. Her life, once vibrant and full of promise, has become increasingly isolated and hollow. As she preparesfor a party she is hosting, Clarissa reflects on her life, her choices, and the regrets that haunt her. She finds herself drawn to "The Hours," a book she has read manytimes before, each reading revealing new meanings and resonances.In parallel to Clarissa's story, we are introduced to Laura Brown, a housewife in 1950s suburban Connecticut. Laura's life is circumscribed by the roles and expectations of her time: wife, mother, and homemaker. She finds solace and escape in the pages of "The Hours," a book that allows her to imagine a different life, a life where she can be more than just a vessel for her husband's ambitions and her children's needs.The third strand of the narrative is the story of Virginia Woolf herself, as she struggles with her own mental illness and the demands of creating "The Hours." Her life, like the lives of Clarissa and Laura, is a constant struggle between the demands of society, the expectations of others, and the yearning to be true to oneself.Throughout the novel, Cunningham masterfully interweaves these three narratives, allowing the reader to see the connections and parallels between the lives ofthese women. He explores themes of female identity, therole of society in shaping that identity, and the power of literature to transform and启发.Clarissa's struggle to find meaning and purpose in her life is a microcosm of the challenges faced by many women. She is caught between the demands of her professional life and the expectations of her personal life. She longs for connection and understanding, but finds herselfincreasingly alone. Her relationship with her daughter, a struggling addict, is fraught with misunderstandings and unresolved hurts. Her friendships, once vibrant and supportive, have become superficial and transactional.Laura, on the other hand, is a prisoner of her time and circumstances. She yearns for a life beyond the confines of her home and the expectations of her role as a wife and mother. She finds solace in the pages of "The Hours," where she can escape the monotony of her existence and imagine a different life for herself. Her relationship with her husband is one of obligation and duty, lacking the intimacy and affection that she craves. Her children, though loving,are unable to fulfill the emotional void in her life.Virginia Woolf's struggle with mental illness and the demands of her craft is a poignant reminder of the tollthat creativity can take on the individual. Her life was a constant battle between the demands of her writing and the pull of her own internal demons. Her relationship with her husband, Leonard, was both a source of support and a burden. His love for her and his understanding of her illness were balm to her soul, but his expectations and needs also added to the pressure she felt to produce.The intersection of these three lives is both a testament to the power of literature and a commentary onthe challenges faced by women. "The Hours" is not just a book about female themes and identities; it is a book about the human condition, the struggle to find meaning and purpose in a world that often seems indifferent to ourneeds and desires. Cunningham reminds us that, despite the differences in our lives and circumstances, we all share a common yearning for connection, understanding, and the freedom to be who we truly are.In the end, "The Hours" is not just a book; it is an experience. It is a journey through the lives of three remarkable women, each grappling with her own version of "The Hours." It is a celebration of the female spirit and a powerful reminder of the power of literature to transform and inspire. It is a book that will stay with you longafter you turn the last page, a book that will resonate with you on every level.。

电影《the hours》 Lara人物分析
如果逃避生活本身，你永远也找不到和平。
"You cannot find peace by avoiding life, Leonard."
布朗夫人，是典型的中产阶级的家庭妇女，丈夫在外工作，生活富足，除了照顾孩子，她的生活非常无趣与单调。在丈夫生日这一天，她努力地想做些事情，可是花丈夫已经买好了，这时候我们想到《达洛卫夫人》中的那句话：我要自己去买花。自己，意味着独立的个体，一种自我意识，布朗的丈夫剥夺了她自主的机会，看似为她安排好一切，实际上是把她定位于家庭的角色，认为她不应该去参与公众生活，相夫教子就是她的工作。因而，布朗夫人才会感到莫大的悲哀与无措，意识到自己整日呆在家里，不能做任何有意义的事情，生活变得如此僵化与无趣，她的潜意识里开始期待逃离。看看布朗夫人家里的布置，暖色调为主，温馨舒适，我们可以看出她结婚后一直是个好妻子和好母亲，她曾经无私地把青春把热情奉献给家庭，可是年复一年，疲倦，无聊，郁闷终于纠缠上她，她的女性意识开始觉醒。特别是当她读了《达洛卫夫人》后，她渐渐明晰生活的压抑，丈夫无形中对她的限制，她遗失已久的自主，于是她迫切地想做些什么，来证明自己，来摆脱苦闷。但是，她发现自己只能为丈夫准备一个蛋糕，别的事都无能为力，这时候她感到异常悲观，她急需一条道路，去释放自己，去寻找自己。她想到了自杀，她果断地离开了家庭，听着孩子的哀鸣声，我们都被深深触动了，然而她却开着车勇往直前，是什么力量在驱使着她，是强烈的自我觉醒吗，抑或一种暂时的冲动和失去理智。钢琴声急促地流淌着，布朗夫人在床上抚摸着自己的肚子，新生命的灵动通过触摸传达给她，她突然改变了主意，要活下去，以另一种方式开始自己的新生活，她意识到死亡并不是唯一的方式，面对自己的内心，过自己想要的生活或许会更好。女性主义发展到这个时期正如快要分娩的胎儿，已经渐渐饱满起来，布朗夫人选择了独立的，与家庭分离的生活，这属于文化女权主义，她们要求对女性内在精神的需求给予更多的关注，女性应当摆脱不利于个人发展的束缚，过自由的生活。布朗夫人抛夫弃子的抉择可能不被世人理解，甚至被指责，但是她勇敢地面对了自己的天性，她过上了期待已久的生活，这样的冒险也是值得的。任何决定都不会是无缘由的，在事情的背后必然有着常人所不能理解的尖锐的根源。

灵活的工作时间英语小作文
灵活的工作时间英语小作文Flexible Working Hours: A Modern Work Arrangement。
In today's fast-paced world, the traditional 9-to-5 work schedule is gradually becoming outdated. With advancements in technology and a growing emphasis on work-life balance, more and more companies are embracingflexible working hours as a means to enhance productivity and employee satisfaction. In this essay, we will delveinto the concept of flexible working hours, its benefits, and its implications for both employers and employees.Flexible working hours, also known as flextime orflexi-hours, refer to a work schedule that allows employees to choose their starting and ending times within certain parameters established by the employer. This means that instead of adhering to a rigid 9-to-5 schedule, employees have the autonomy to adjust their work hours to better suit their personal needs and preferences.One of the primary benefits of flexible working hours is increased employee satisfaction. By giving employees the freedom to manage their own schedules, employers demonstrate trust and respect for their staff's personal lives. This autonomy can lead to higher levels of job satisfaction and morale, ultimately resulting in improved retention rates and reduced turnover costs for companies.Moreover, flexible working hours can enhance productivity and efficiency. Not all employees are at their peak performance during traditional office hours. Some individuals may be more productive in the early morning, while others may excel late at night. By allowing employees to work during their most productive hours, companies can capitalize on their strengths and optimize overall performance.Furthermore, flexible working hours contribute to a healthier work-life balance. In today's interconnected world, the boundary between work and personal life has become increasingly blurred. Flexible schedules enable employees to better juggle their professionalresponsibilities with family commitments, personal interests, and other obligations. This balance is essential for employee well-being and can reduce stress and burnout in the long run.From an employer's perspective, implementing flexible working hours can also yield financial benefits. By adopting a flexible work policy, companies can reduce overhead costs associated with maintaining a traditional office space. With fewer employees occupying the office at any given time, companies may downsize their physical workspace or adopt hot-desking arrangements, leading to significant cost savings.However, despite the numerous advantages of flexible working hours, there are also challenges and considerations to address. One potential concern is maintaining effective communication and collaboration among team members, especially when employees have varying schedules. To mitigate this challenge, companies can leverage communication technologies such as instant messaging, video conferencing, and project management tools to facilitateremote collaboration and keep teams connected.Additionally, ensuring fairness and equity in workload distribution is crucial when implementing flexible working hours. Employers must establish clear guidelines and expectations to prevent disparities in work assignments and opportunities for advancement. Transparency and open communication are essential to address any concerns or grievances related to flexible work arrangements.In conclusion, flexible working hours represent a progressive approach to modernizing the workplace and accommodating the diverse needs of today's workforce. By offering employees greater autonomy and flexibility in managing their schedules, companies can foster a more positive work environment, enhance productivity, and promote employee well-being. However, successful implementation requires careful planning, effective communication, and a commitment to addressing potential challenges. With the right strategies in place, flexible working hours can be a win-win solution for both employers and employees alike.。
The hours影评
Review on the hoursThe hours isa movie showing us three separatebut parallel stories of three women in different times,each story focusing on figure‘s inner world activities.The film is well worth watching because of itsingenious techniques in structure as well as itssignificance brought to audience.because she spends most of the day doing trivialthings, just as Mrs. Dalloway did in her novel. Laurais reading that novel which makes her contemplatehow to escape her trivial life.Correlation of time and spaceThe film deftly builds a sense of synchronicityand connectedness using quick cuts of small eventsthat happen in each figure. There are also somedeep details which skillfully weave the threewomen’slife together to be a whole. At the film'sopening, we meet a day of the three women:Virginia, on a day in 1925; Laura Brown, on a day in1951; Clarissa, on a day inChoice of life and deathThis movie mainly talks about women’s choiceof life and death and tells us some details that seemtrivial but in fact every detail is pivotal for thefollowing plot. They lived in the way to seek for ameaningful life. Faced with torture of pains andsuffocating life, Virginia Woolf chose to die for thesake of dignity, freedom and her husband’s love.Although Laura had a seemingly cozy family andample material things, she just did monotonoushousehold chores, at last she chose to liveThe meaning of lifeThis film set a thought-provoking question foraudience:what is the real meaning of life? There aretwo suicides in the course of the film, but both ofthem are not out of despair but of release. AsVirginia Woolfput it“somebody has to die for therest of others”. From the perspective of the film, this an ingenious device to keep the audience insuspense. Who has to die? Why should they chooseto die? In the wake of this chapter, both Richard andVirginia had someone to love, and they finally choseto die for their lovers and the rest of others.The essence of lifeThe essence of this film lies in the significanceof life. As it is said in the ending of the movie:to looklife in the face and always to look life in the face, andto know it what it is and last to know it, to love it forwhat it is and then to put it aw ay.” The movie revealsthat women began to realize that Life should be forthemselves, but notjust living for the other’ love andobligation, and they has to find their own way torelease themselves from it.。
