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: All right Richard, do me one simple favor. Come. Come sit.

    Richard Brown: I don't think I can make it to the party, Clarissa.

    Clarissa Vaughn: You don't have to go to the party, you don't have to go to the ceremony, you don't have to do anything you don't want to do. You can do as you like.

    Richard Brown: But I still have to face the hours, don't I? I mean, the hours after the party, and the hours after that...

    Clarissa Vaughn: You do have good days still. You know you do.

    Richard Brown: Not really. I mean, it's kind of you to say so, but it's not really true.

  • Virginia Woolf: You cannot find peace by avoiding life, Leonard.
