amazing beauty

I stumbled across the script of "The Moments" today, it's
amazingly beautiful.
I saw the movie in 2002 or early 2003,
didn't know anything about Woolf at the time, and had a very shallow understanding of the movie (and still is),
especially, the translation of the plate was so poor that the original The more difficult movies are even more incomprehensible.
(Even so, I wrote a film review at the time, and now I admire my guts!)
There is this paragraph:
"At that time, she thought that happiness was just beginning, but now, after thirty years,
Clay Lisa is still often shocked when she realizes that that is happiness...
now she knows: happiness is in that moment. There is no other time."

It moved me deeply.
While the writers have repeatedly denied this is a feminist film,
I still don't know why it isn't.

The Hours quotes

  • Clarissa Vaughn: I remember one morning getting up at dawn, there was such a sense of possibility. You know, that feeling? And I remember thinking to myself: So, this is the beginning of happiness. This is where it starts. And of course there will always be more. It never occurred to me it wasn't the beginning. It was happiness. It was the moment. Right then.

  • Virginia Woolf: Say something, Nessa! Didn't you think I seemed better?
