The Hours

This is, by far, my favorite movie of all time. I think I may be the only one in the world who loves it to this depth. To me, the more pain I'm in, the more confused I am, the more lonely I feel, the more I need to watch this movie.

There is so much honesty. I can relate to each of the three women equally at any given time. I only watch it alone (or sometimes with Livia) because I feel so vulnerable. It's not something I was take to a party to watch after dinner... it's a processing film. It helps me reach emotions that I normally keep quite close. It's dark, and it lets me be dark, if only for a few hours.

The depth of honesty that the characters portray makes me feel like I'm not the only sad one in the world, and that they know exactly what I'm going through. Like my earlier post, I believe you don't need to experience the same thing, to feel the same emotions. These women feel the same as me, and that's a comforting thing sometimes.

I'm not going to end this post by suggesting that you watch it, because you'll probably be disappointed, like everyone else was who watched it on my recommendation. I'm just saying, for me, it helps, and if you're grieving, it might help you.

But don't get your hopes up. I think I'm the only one.
