      time

      "It's not like that. Birds, people can survive in real life. Birds, there are people who do frog jumping from deception to deception, and jump to death," the professor said.
                           ——Oe Kenzaburo's "Personal Experience"

      The world I face is actually countless worlds. But there is also such a world: people voluntarily merge their own world with other people's, and continue to devour more people, so this mixed world expands more and more, diluting the real individuals...

      Always, the love. Always, the hours.

      Obscure literature and art always easily afflict the soul with unsolvable depression.

           After the movie ended, I was still immersed in a very strong emotion that I could not escape for a long time. I spent a whole night thinking about the meaning of death and the value of life .
      I don't think there will be another film for a long time to surpass its attack and invasion of me.
                                  
         I like movies that revolve around emotions, like short and...

      The good movies I love are choked in my throat but can't flow out of my eyes

      I can't tell what it's like to watch a film like this at 10,000 feet, typing on the keyboard.
      I can only say in general terms that as soon as I start watching it, I know right away that it's what I've always wanted.
      I piece it together and hide in space.
      Through the streets, rivers and boundless years, looking at the souls of three women "

      Hours" - " every hour"
      you may laugh softly, oh, it turns out that
      no one around me has said that they like
      me Never...

      powerlessness

      The beginning of the film, light, shadow, river. The dark floral dress that gives a mild and comfortable feeling, the gray cotton stockings and the wooden mid-heel leather shoes are immersed in the cold river water in the warm light. in front of the audience. Although Woolf's way of death is a well-known fact, and the lack of depth at the beginning makes the audience unable to have too many emotions about it, this kind of overt or dark struggle and conflict set the tone of the entire film ....

      The eight sufferings of life are not available

      I watched this movie over and over again, and all three women were in deep pain of "getting nothing" and trying to find a way out. Virginia has a husband who understands her, tolerates her, is patient and talented, but in her heart, the relationship with her husband may be more like a confidant. The movie shows Virginia's attachment to her sister with a kiss, but the sister finally chose her own family and children and did not respond to Virginia. Virginia realizes that what she wants...

      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...

      It's a really hard movie to understand, but I tried my best. The three women who pursue life and the essence of life are unwilling to succumb to life, but what is the life they long for? The answer that life can't give is stuck in one's own heart after...

      They all say that people who commit suicide are cowardly, but this is not true. It takes a lot of courage to put a knife on one's neck. If you die at this moment, then you will be happy before this moment, or you can say that death is life. a contrast. This is how life is, the more you try to find some meaning for it, the more meaningless it becomes, every day I wake up repeating the behavior of yesterday, should I endure it, should I pretend, should I not praise death, but after all, there is...

      Understand Woolf's impatience and madness, understand Laura's "chosen life" and "I don't belong here", and understand Clarissa's mediocrity. It may be a doom or a good thing to have a bottleneck in living to an age. Every ordinary person will experience the superposition of these three states. Don't cut a boat and ask for a sword, dare to face life and bear the conscience torture that comes with it. Am I the only one who thinks Julianne Moore's role is more suitable for the...

    Behind the scenes gags

    To play the role of Virginia Woolf, Nicole Kidman has changed a lot, especially the nose. But it seems that she puts too much emphasis on acting as a pioneer of feminism wandering on the fringe of madness and sobriety, so she is still not like the very important position in the history of literature, and she is beautiful and literary.
    In order to perform this role well, Kidman read a lot of her diary and even began to practice writing...
