Aside from Nicole's outstanding impersonation of Mrs Woolf in the movie, we should never forget how flawless was the interpretation of Stephen Dillane as Leonard in this scene. Magnificent.
@@enricovankeeken1624 No. Has nothing to do with being a movie lover. If one has an inkling of appreciation of pristine acting and an understanding of Virginia Woolf, then one will arrive at the conclusion that this is just the single most brilliant interpretation

The two of these actors were absolutely brilliant. The screenplay was brilliant, the music was brilliant, the make up was brilliant; it was just downright brilliant.
Any actress who has aspirations to to win an academy award should be shown this scene, one of the finest actresses alive at her best with thoughtful and insightful dialogue, one of the few occasions the academy awards got it right, this is the gold standard.
As talented as she is, as unforgetful as she was in The Hours, as deserving as she was to win the Oscar, she didn't win for her talent. She won it because The Hours was championned by Harvey Weinstein, and she won over the actual favorite, which was her co-star Julianne Moore for Far From Heaven. My point is that winning an Oscar should not be an aspiration, because the Oscars are about politics, not talent.
@@adilelnhaily6014Umm, no, she won because of her talent, she had already won the precursors GG and BAFTA... Juilaane Moore wasn't the favourite in that race... If not Nicole, the other favourite to win was Renee Zellweger who was in a film championed by Weinstein and even won the Best Picture...
@@gauravw6948 Actually Nicole Kidman won the major awards, but she didn't win any of the critics awards, which are always won by the actors who are the ultimate favorite. Julianne Moore did win all the regional critics awards across the US (including Critics Choice Award). Major awards (SAG, Golden Globes and Oscars) were won by Nicole Kidman and Renée Zellweger despite of that because of one name : Harvey Weinstein. Because MIRAMAX distributed both CHICAGO and THE HOURS. So yes, Julianne Moore was the absolute favorite leading peformance of 2002 for FAR FROM HEAVEN, she won all almost all the regional critics awards. And don't get me wrong, Nicole Kidman is my favorite performance and I am so happy she won. But it's not only her talent who got her the Oscar, it's the campaigning and the back-up from Harvey Weinstein.
....if I was thinking clearly Leonard .... I would tell you that I wrestle alone In the dark In the deep dark and only I can know.. only I understand my own condition You live with the treath you tell me... You live with the treath of my extinction, Leonard.... I live with it too! (It kills all the times everytime....)

Andrew Rodriguez neither Virginia Woolf nor Moore’s character or Ed Harris’s character are avoiding life. I prefer to think that they chose to take their lives early because of their pain and sparing their loved ones.
I remember when this came out (for some reason i was 12 and my grandma took me to see it ) I broke down during this and the ending. Everyone made jokes that she was winning for the fake nose. It’s truly spectacular performance. Kidman is still one of my favorite actresses and I’m surprised she hasn’t won again.
The film was robbed at the Academy Awards. Aside from Best Actress, it deserved to win Supporting Actress (Moore gave a devastating performance too), Adapted Screenplay (this has one of the greatest ever) and Original Score. It was also robbed at the SAG Awards. They didn’t award the rightful actress to win Best Lead Actor by a Female but that is forgivable but what is unforgivable is how in hell this film did not win Best Ensemble. I can’t think of a film that’s replete of great great performances than this.
Yessss! Speak louder !!! no SAG for Nicole???? (Until today she have no sag for any film contribution, the big little lies award is her only sag) No SAG for THAT cast? I mean MERYL JULIANNE NICOLE MIRANDA RICHARDSON TONI COLETTE ED HARRIS this actor and the actor who played Julianne's husband WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT.!?!?!
Bravo! Absolutely brilliant acting. Would've been so easy to ham it up, but instead both of them played it perfectly, beautifully, striking all the right notes. And the line "I choose not the suffocating anesthetic of the suburbs, but the violent jolt of the capital" is simply delicious, a startling and unforgettable turn of phrase.
Tho movie is masterpiece In All piece, In evrthing. It celebrates 20 years and still wanna cry when I scene this scene. I never forget how I met personally Michael Cunningham in Prague
fortifarse right opinions that involve calling people with mental illness as selfish and inconsiderate. Right now Mr Woolf is doing that, he doesn’t understand his wife’s suffering.
People who are normal are blessed..But we have no CLUE what people go through with MENTAL ILLNESS..they have no CONTROL and meds dont always help..just temporary..
*if that´s rEAlly how you feel ..you absolUtely have my blessing ..+ ~~ somewhere at the end of ´22 my bEAUtifUl 16 yr old ? young cousin chose to tAke his life ...he left a note thAnking his parents for gIving him life ... `funny´ ?Well..not_rEAlly*
I know from my own associated experiences with family and their poor mental health, watching this scene, have seen the Movie It reminds me ( not of their own doing) but how incredibly selfish it is and draining and damaging. We’re so busy trying to help the ones struggling with their affliction we don’t give a minutes thought to the collateral damage done to the ones trying to help the ones caught in the cross-fire. It just reminds me of the existential thinking … We really don’t matter 😔
Leonard Woolf is right, of course; and Virginia is wrong -- at least in terms of anything rational. But the genius of this film is to demonstrate that what is merely rational is not always the very thing we need. Thus, all of our sympathies in this scene are with Virginia. (It helps a great deal, of course, that Virginia is played by perhaps our finest living actress.)
I wish I had such a thoughtful and understanding lover like Leonard. He bear her and her illness with generosity, gentlement and love. Hard to find someone who both love and give such outstanding understanding for you like Leonard
I have lived every word in her dialogue and felt deeply touch to my deepest feelings and desire. I wish I had someone there for me like Leonard did for Virgina
I love Leonard...... Her talent and what she achieved in literature, wouldn't exist, if she did t have her Leonard..... Same with Lou and Rilke..... But that s a different story
This movie was horrible. She was a sad woman who was metally ill. Which is sad because people had a hard time getting better back then. Virginia Woolf. I didn't know she was like this until this movie and I read she ended her life. A lot of woman authors Ended there life back the. Too sad.
Nothing special, just a typical conversation btwn two psychos. Clashing of ideas is a norm in mental illness circumstances. Patience, tolerance, considerate and understanding r d key points in handling cases like this. By the way, good actings for both actors!!!!

One of the best scenes ever filmed. So powerful!
Yes, I agree!
Thís scene helped me understand my mother, myself, and my daughter.
Stephen Dillane deserved an Oscar nom for this movie as much as Ed Harris.
Yes he did.
Yes i agree
This movie is perfect. Even the stationmaster deserved an Oscar nom😄

I’m leading Virginia’s life right now. Holding on …
“If it’s a choice between Richmond and death, I’d choose death.”
Kidman’s subtle moments are stronger than her loud scenes.
Best scene: bird funeral
That nose deserved its own nomination.
You cannot find peace by avoiding life.
Wow!

My favorite scene in any movie
Poor Leonard. He tried so hard with Virginia
Poor Virgina and Leonard. You have no idea how cancerous and violent it is living with a mental illness
Tho movie is masterpiece In All piece, In evrthing. It celebrates 20 years and still wanna cry when I scene this scene. I never forget how I met personally Michael Cunningham in Prague
People who show hate to this movie and the women in it must have no pity for people who suffer from mental illness.
Obviously it couldn't be a matter of a differing opinion, of course...

Oh my godness! Virginia is my alter ego. Im feeling the same way now. If I need to choose between Richmond and death, I choose death...

One person disliked 😟
She's been unfaithful for most of their marriage. She didn't deserve such a husband 😑
Leonard killed Virginia by his unbearable mansplaining of her own condition.
Change my mind.
