Virginia sat on the armchair, and with a pen dipped in ink, vigorously wrote the first sentence of the novel on the manuscript paper. She frowned, her eyes focused. It is this novel, "Mrs. Dellovey," that strung together the lives of three women from different eras.
Virginia in 1923, is a very gifted writer. She was mentally troubled, had been emotionally unstable, was unconscious, and attempted suicide twice. She and her husband left London to live in a quiet town to recuperate. The quiet life and the loving care of her husband did not bring peace to Virginia's heart. She felt bound. "My life was taken away by someone else. I was alone in the dark, helpless and struggling. Only I know, only I understand my own condition. Even the most helpless and pitiful patient has the right to decide what kind of life he has. Life." Virginia finally chose to walk into the lake.
Lola in 1951 was a middle-class housewife with a husband who loved her very much and a four- or five-year-old son. Lola endured it hard, and pretended to love this happy life, trying to be enthusiastic about her husband and loving her children. But she finally couldn't bear the feeling that she didn't belong to this world. Facing death and life, she chose life, she chose to abandon her family, bear the blame that no one would forgive, and start her life again from a distance.
In 2001, Clarissa took care of her sick first boyfriend Richard for ten years, encouraged him, and actively prepared a party for the award of his poetry collection. That day, Richard said to her, "I live only for you. When I die, you have to face your life. How will you escape then?" , For so long, he has been unable to let go of the loss of his first love.
One is the author of "Mrs. Delloway", the other is the reader of this novel, and the other is the fond memory of being called "Mrs. Delloway".
Virginia is sensitive and tough. She bravely pondered the meaning of life and endured the loneliness and pain of spirit alone. Her time was shining, the light from the window illuminated her bun, and she walked through the green woods and into the sparkling lake. Her words are always firm, and her figure is always unrestrained.
It was Lola and little Richard who made me cry. After smiling her husband off, Lola turned around and looked at little Richard. All the cover-ups that her husband couldn't see were in plain sight in front of this child who got along with each other day and night. Richard, in his pyjamas, which had shrunk a lot, looked at his mother. He is a sensitive child, and he knows his mother's pain. When Lola left Richard in someone else's house and went to the hotel to commit suicide, Richard frantically chased the car and called his mother. When Laura changed her mind and came back, she said to him, "I love you, you are my baby". Richard smiled sweetly, he could hear that this was different from the usual perfunctory words. The birthday party in the evening was very strange. Husband is content while Lola weeps in the bathroom. Mom still left, becoming Richard forever hurt.
Richard grew up and became a writer. In his autobiographical novel, which was only completed in 10 years, he gave his mother the ending of suicide. Seriously ill, he felt his life was in chaos. He "couldn't restore all the truth." At the moment when he decided to give up his life and no longer live for Clarissa or whatever, he finally understood and forgave his mother.
"A woman's life is concentrated in one day. Only one day, a short day, is her life." On that day, some characters broke into their lives. For example, Virginia's sister, a mother of three, works hard to take care of her children and make them happy. But the tiredness on her face could not be concealed, but she never strayed from the "right track" of life. Laura's neighbor, Kitty, tries to show off her happiness, but her impending surgery leaves her vulnerable and crying. And Clarissa's live-in girlfriend and daughter. These women each lead very different lives. Some people can adapt to this world, some people work hard to endure life, and some people give up bravely.
Some people interpret same-sex kisses in this movie as gay love, but I don't. Those sudden kisses are a special way of understanding between women, a fragile grip.
Everyone's self-understanding is different, and their natural endowments are also different. Maybe, I shouldn't question myself, "why can others bear it", "why am I worth living like that".
Virginia expressed her understanding of life in her last letter to her husband:
"Dear Lena,
if you want to see life thoroughly , you
must face it truthfully.
Understand the essence of life
When you finally understand life ,
you can truly love life
and then be willing to let it go
Remember the years we have been together
Never forget
Always remember our love Never
forget
the moments in life
... "I
really love life, and then I'm willing to let it go.
"I remember getting up one morning at
dawn. The
whole world is full of possibilities
. Do you know that feeling?
That's what I was thinking
. This is the beginning
of happiness. This is happiness. The source
must be happier in the future.
I never thought that it was either the beginning
or the happiness
was in that moment
, in that moment."
Clarissa was finally relieved.
