It's the scene with the aged Julianne Moore character explaining to the Meryl Street character, It's what you can bare". There are times you don't belong and you want to kill yourself. She is just stating what she did, with what she could bare. It's so exquisitely heartbreaking.

@@miriamchalmovianska863 no - it doesnt. unless the person is doing it because they know they will commit awful crimes - it is never good for the family EVER. I have battled suicide ideation my whole life - it will come for me again and I will fight it again. Its a demon. Be GRATEFUL for your life. For your Vitality. Those final moments when you think it is too late to turn back are agony, I couldnt possibly describe, so I have to say NO.
I love this movie but i hesitate to share it with others. If I shared it with another and they were bored or otherwise didn't love this movie I would think so much less of them.
Beautifully put together, who ever did this. One of my favourite films of all time. Absolutely sublime. It makes me ache every time...the perfect combination of pain, and yet beauty and the struggle of human existence.
هذا الفيلم يسكنني،مرت سنوات وفي كل مرة أشاهده بإندهاش لروعة الممثلين والقصة والأحداث والاخراج والموسيقى،كل شئ في هذا الفيلم يفوق العادة ،أروع ما انتجته السينما.
YES this scene is etched in my mind. A mother trying to explain why she didn't really want to be a mother and in our society that's usually a social crime but the Streep character is desperate to understand and Moore's character is so heartbreaking and she's so beautifully bare when she says that line, "it;s' what you can bare." I chose life. There it is. No one will forgive me. And, there are times you don't belong and you want to kill yourself...I once went to a hotel....Then I got on a bus ...I will never forget this scene.
@seonfox| clinetube It was life or death... She chose life. Maybe she could just leave her husband, but she didn't know how to even take care of herself. She got caught in the middle of a life she never desired and felt like she was dead. Is it unforgivable to leave her children? It sure is and she knows it. She chose to pay the price and to live with the guilty. She said nobody will ever forgive her - that is her burden. Maybe it is easy to judge, but it was life or death, she chose life in a selfish and desperate act of survival. I wonder if her other choice would be better for her children: suicide. Would be better for them to have the memory of a mother who took away her life? It is complex. But the choice you would like her to take didn't exist. When Laura sits on a chair in the bathroom and suffers in silence you know she doesn't have too many options available.
Ulla Uhlmann I agree. And even if she didn't leave, didn't kill herself and just sleepwalked through the rest of her life feeling numb, the children wouldn't have been better off. They would have grown up with an unhappy, removed mother.
Nicole Kidman deserved an oscar for this she played Virginia Woolf and this was her suicide note to her husband Leonard and he didn't want her to kill herself. She could have made a better choice. Nicole Kidman threw herself into work and it paid off. She was very sad in 2001 and then her career took off in 2001 and she won her first oscar for The Hours... That's called Karma
I didn't half feel the most sorry for Richard 😔 always abandoned except for meryl. In a way because his mother chose life she passed on the death to her son. Any life he could have loved to live was taken the day she left. I understand why she thought she had to but she was wrong.
Erwin Woodedge - what a horrible comment from you. As for ourselves we don’t have Netflix but our mortgage is down to 35k. We’re rich because we don’t waste our earnings. You probably rent.
I saw the film, the acting is superb. The only nitpick I have with the film is the 50s storyline with Julianne Moore. Not in terms of performances or anything like that. I have noticed lately that films of the 2000s tend to have a social commentary about the 50s while movies from the late 70s to the 90s tend to have a nostalgic view of the 50s. Not saying that the 50s was perfect, it wasn't. But at the same time, I'm not going say that the 50s was the worst evil time in history for Americans. And I feel that the 50s segments kind of show the dullness of 50s mom's lives and sort making it look like it was EVERY mom's life in the 50s. And that's not so. I knew a lot of women who grew up in the 50s that had fond memories. I'm not saying people like Julianne Moore's character did not exist in the 50s but it wasn't the whole female population either.
Well most people are just gonna remember their fond memories... But it was only about her because she was bi or les and was trapped in a straight marriage. Or maybe she just didn't love her husband and had depression. But it qas mainly about her personal struggles.
A dra who talk about book of Virginia Woolf ,her madness ,non understood of society ,servers ,surround doctors who informe he how must live her life not understand her disease !!! Good movie excellent play ,acting ,writing the script and also music which is divine !!!

One of the best films ever made. It has been over a decade and I still come back to these scenes. ❤
I agree. I watch the film at least once a year. It’s perfect
The scene with the older Julianne Moore character explaining why she left, saying "it's what you can bare". always haunts me to this day.
This movie is pure poetry.
one of the most beautiful works of Cinema.
Julianne Moore is so breathtaking... one feels for her and sees her importance hidden within her silence..

The best drama of the history.
Phenomenal actress. The entire cast was just amazing. Chicago doesn't have shit on this film.
sometimes leaving people whom we love all of the sudden , causes less pain than what shall happen if we stay .
That is sooo true.
no
No it doesn't, nobody is better off after a loved one's suicide

Che film meraviglioso, non bastano le parole per descriverne significato e profondità.
Just my opinion, but I think you missed the hotel room scene...
Where J. Moore gets drown...
That was so beautifully done.
I love this movie but i hesitate to share it with others. If I shared it with another and they were bored or otherwise didn't love this movie I would think so much less of them.
I chose not the suffocating anesthetic of The Hours but the violent jolt of Marvel movies and this is my choice.
I love this post ! True
I choose not the suffocating anesthetic of this scene, but the violent jolt of that scene. and this is my choice.
Beautifully put together, who ever did this. One of my favourite films of all time. Absolutely sublime. It makes me ache every time...the perfect combination of pain, and yet beauty and the struggle of human existence.
Hauntingly beautiful......and, I must admit: self-revelatory
This script and the Philip Glass music make it a masterpiece.

Im crying over and over again. 😢 omg
My all time favorite movie.
Great scenes but I would also choose the train station scene: "...My life has been stolen from me....."
This movie is masterpiece in all details
I prefer the novel, but the film is a smashing adaptation with some really stunning acting. Thanks for posting.
One of the last scenes with Maryl and Julian......a master piece

Un film spécial, difficile d'accès mais profondément beau.
OMG I LOVE THIS THE HOURS IS MY OBSESSION

@@reggieho6321 you should always do whats best for you. Otherwise nobody is happy.
The scene with neighbor Kitty…Toni Collette.
Nicole Kidman deserved an oscar for this she played Virginia Woolf and this was her suicide note to her husband Leonard and he didn't want her to kill herself. She could have made a better choice. Nicole Kidman threw herself into work and it paid off. She was very sad in 2001 and then her career took off in 2001 and she won her first oscar for The Hours... That's called Karma
Nicole won the Oscar just to look ugly... best performance of a great actress.
You should have added the train station scene👍
I didn't half feel the most sorry for Richard 😔 always abandoned except for meryl. In a way because his mother chose life she passed on the death to her son. Any life he could have loved to live was taken the day she left. I understand why she thought she had to but she was wrong.
Yes his life was tragic because he felt unworthy. But lots of therapy could have made him suffer less. Maybe enjoy it. At times.
I totally agree with you. I felt the most sorry for Richard because of the weight he carried from that abandonment.
best forever !!!!!!
Where i can watch a full movie of this film?thanks :-)
Anyone still alive...
I would rather watch Meryl listen than hear any other actor speak.
where can i watch it for free ? :'(
You'all have to download it through a P2P software. I recommend Ares
Why? Are you so poor?

I think it is just about Laura. She had her own issues.
Well most people are just gonna remember their fond memories...
But it was only about her because she was bi or les and was trapped in a straight marriage. Or maybe she just didn't love her husband and had depression. But it qas mainly about her personal struggles.
