Richard represents the truth in this movie, whereas Clarissa represents the social mask we choose daily to disguise how we feel inside. We see throughout the movie that Clarissa is the image of a successful woman, but she feels empty, like something is missing . Or in Richard's words "Oh Mrs. Dollaway, always throwing parties, to cover the silence "

The main theme of this work is about the 'absolute emptiness'. A child, who lost his absolute defender mother, is forced to have the 'absolute emptiness' that can't be supplemented by other things. For such the child, the fight against 'absolute emptiness' becomes a life task. And, the fight is extremely difficult. I was also one of such children. So, I can share his heartache and despair more than anyone. Greetings from Japan.
Virginia Woolf's Famous Suicide Note: Dearest, I feel certain that I am going mad again. I feel we can’t go through another of those terrible times. And I shan’t recover this time. I begin to hear voices, and I can’t concentrate. So I am doing what seems the best thing to do. You have given me the greatest possible happiness. You have been in every way all that anyone could be. I don’t think two people could have been happier till this terrible disease came. I can’t fight it any longer. I know that I am spoiling your life, that without me you could work. And you will I know. You see I can’t even write this properly. I can’t read. What I want to say is I owe all the happiness of my life to you. You have been entirely patient with me and incredibly good. I want to say that-everybody knows it. If anybody could have saved me it would have been you. Everything has gone from me but the certainty of your goodness. I can’t go on spoiling your life any longer. I don’t think two people could have been happier than we have been. V.
Ed Harris deserved to win the Oscar for this role. Chris Cooper won the Oscar for Adaptation but Ed should have received it instead. But they both acted with the amazing Meryl Streep.
Mrs. Dolloway s great book! The best scene i ve ever seen, real feelings, real life, no lies and bitter trues "i was 19 years old and i ve never seen anything so beautiful"
@@yinyang8997 Mrs. Dalloway covers one day from morning to night in one woman’s life. it was written with stream of consciousness technique, that is, she wrote all the stimuli inside and outside the character.
@@bilgesemure8850 thank u so much o replaying i am arabic what do u mean by stream of conscious thecnique ijust wach the movie last night and I'm taking by it sorry my English is bad
i always watch this when i am sad to realize there are sadder stories like my live :( and i lve them both in this movie i think this is one of the most emontional movie i have ever seen
Its really sad that Laura (quite rightly) chose to live the life she wanted, but even with the life he wanted Richard still couldn't be happy. Laura had a way out that didn't include death but Richard's only way out (in his mind) was death. It gives new meaning to Laura's words about having no choice. She chose life and Richard chose death, but in Richard's mind there was no choice!
This scene is so profusely effective in its emotion that it makes me angry, with Glass masterfully slowing down the constant motif of his Hours theme to then precipitate everything like rain while Harris jumps over the window. I just wanted to hug Streep after all these rollercoaster minutes.
Sin palabras... Me falta la respiración cada vez que veo esta escena. Cuesta creer que no sea una escena real sino "ficción". Y con todo un equipo de rodaje compartiendo el mismo espacio.
He needed her to see it- the finality of it, so she would know it was real and she could move on. He was seriously unbalanced by suffering and depression.
Omg I cried so bad with this movie. My best friend died from cancer and then saddest thing was that I was not there :/ so it's has haunt me since I found out. I hate cancer!!!!!!!
Wow. This brought tears to my eyes. I've this movie at least 50 times and I know by heart the scene where Meryl has her monologue about happiness. I never had put this together. Thank you.
you are crying because this scene is done so well !!! The way of acting and the total scene is created so great. A few Professionals created this scene.
She's wearing all black in this scene so it's like some part of her knew she would be mourning. Also her amber (I think) earrings reminded me of the saying about flies in amber. She mentioned being "stuck" in a moment in time when they were teenagers. He gave her permission to let him go, in a way. Or, he made it easier for her to move on and start to live in the present.
How many people are not happy and waste their lives because we aren't able to live their real happiness ? It's the great question of our modernity. Fabulous scene, so deep because she touch the human soul.
Je ne l'ai jamais vu et à lire tous les commentaires je crois que j'ai mis de côté un chef-d'œuvre sans l'avoir regardé. Il est dans ma liste de films à voir absolument. Le casting est juste magnifique☺️ déjà un premier bon point.☺️
“You were 18 and, maybe, I was 19. I was 19 years old and I’d never seen anything so beautiful: You, coming out of the glass door in the early morning still sleepy. Isn’t it strange? Most ordinary morning in anybody’s life. I’m afraid I can’t make it to the party, Clarissa. […] You’ve been so good to me, Ms. Dalloway. I love you. I don’t think two people could’ve been happier than we’ve been.”.
That most painful longing when remembering being mere teenagers. And how everything was great back then, versus the stark reality of now. It wasn’t , like she said, the beginning of happiness. It WAS happiness. Life is not a road to anywhere. Life is the destination and, therefore, the end of the “journey”.
I genuinely don't understand how Julianne Moore was nominated for an Oscar for this film and Meryl Streep wasn't!! All three women were amazing (and Ed Harris should've won Best Supporting Actor)
It's because Ms. Streep was nominated for Adaptation. I don't think an actor/actress can be nominated twice in the same category. I believe the actors/actresses get to submit which categories and films they want to be considered for.
Hey, could someone tell me what did he say in the part after he has said: is not strange, like....anybody's life? i don't get it. i don't know so much english. Thanks in advance

'I don't think two people could have been happier than we have been', was the final line from Virginia Woolf's suicide letter to Leonard
I honestly think this scene is one of the best movie scenes that have EVER been made.
I couldn't agree more....
this and virgina wolf's suicide letter.
i agree
Absolutely
Simply masterly
I'm a grown man, but i cried like an infant when i watched this beautiful movie!
Spectacular piece of cinema....
It is okay for men too, crying is natural act. Dont be ashamed of that please. Tears on a man's face, they show the real soul keeped hide inside! :)
me too
I cried too. So good.
You have a golden soul.

Yes!
Well she loves him but knows she will never have him... she had only one night

I don't really know why, but when she says ''the party doesn't matter.'' I always get teary-eyed.
For me it’s like a last effort to hold on to somebody you love that you know already made the decision to go…
This scene (as the entire movie btw) is so well acted that gives me goosebumps!
Look what this "monster" of acting is achieving in 5 seconds 1.50-1.55 .... She is the greatest actress.Period.
I've stayed alive for you, but ah you have to let me go. HEARTBROKEN
Touching. Emotional. You smiled with them. You feeled their sadness, despair and
deep blue...movies like this,they keep the flame of art alive! :)
Lisergic Queen well said
This movie is so meaningful.A real art!should have won best picture!
Very true!!
Yes! It's a masterpiece.

Thank you so much for your emotional comment.
@@hitoshiyokoo2157 Does that fight lead anywhere?
Earlier in the movie Clarissa said that morning on the beach she was happy.
The most beautiful thing he ever saw was her happiness.
Ed Harris. Best actor in the world!
How Ed Harris didn't get an Oscar for this scene is beyond me.
Ed Harris deserved to win the Oscar for this role. Chris Cooper won the Oscar for Adaptation but Ed should have received it instead. But they both acted with the amazing Meryl Streep.
+Richie Daniel Actually Chris is a front-runner ! Ed lost almost every awards to him :3
She is the GOAT
That moment always makes my heart stop. What a sad life he lived.

Wow - listening to the words and then I hear this familiar tune.... I'm like "My god! Philip Glass' Metamorphosis!!" Man, that composer is a genius.
The Hours truly timeless deep in each of us
i always watch this when i am sad to realize there are sadder stories like my live :( and i lve them both in this movie i think this is one of the most emontional movie i have ever seen

Richard only chose death because of his mother's selfishness.
Richard is a textbook story of what happens to a child when one or both of their parents are not in their life.
@@fs5866you have to choose to love yourself if nobody else loves you. You have a choice

her reaction to his fall is just...divine
absolute perfection
amazing acting from both of them.

this scene tears me to pieces everytime
He is just appeared 10 mins and got an Oscar Nomination 🔥
Ed Harris wrecks me in that scene. What an actor.
He needed her to see it- the finality of it, so she would know it was real and she could move on. He was seriously unbalanced by suffering and depression.
Omg I cried so bad with this movie. My best friend died from cancer and then saddest thing was that I was not there :/ so it's has haunt me since I found out. I hate cancer!!!!!!!
One of the best scences ever made!!!
" I don't think two people could've been happier than we've been. " - Richard Brown
I like Ed Harris better when he is toned down, as he did for The Truman Show and Pollock. His real talent relies on restraint.
The most beautiful thing he ever saw was her hapiness.
Wow. This brought tears to my eyes. I've this movie at least 50 times and I know by heart the scene where Meryl has her monologue about happiness. I never had put this together. Thank you.
i camt stop crying
we watched this in class for our study in English and I was so moved by the film
he is at peace, so content, it's beautiful.
This scene is so sad...😭😭😭
you are crying because this scene is done so well !!! The way of acting and the total scene is created so great. A few Professionals created this scene.

She could sense it back at her apartment when she broke out crying when their friend visited her. That gut feeling
She knew it...
Meryl Streep looks so much as an older Kate Winslet in this scene, how crazy.
How many people are not happy and waste their lives because we aren't able to live their real happiness ? It's the great question of our modernity. Fabulous scene, so deep because she touch the human soul.
Moments of Being... Virginia Woolf 🖤
ed was outstanding in this
That poor guy. He had enough of suffering.
Are u alive
It's 'Metamorphosis Two', by Philip Glass (from 'Solo Piano', 1989).

oh god how does this scene not destroy anyone.

Tenhle film má v sobě tak obrovskou krásu, kterou ale každý nedokáže pochopit.
Voices are always here
music is by philip glass
i’ve stayed alive for you
but now you have to let me go
It's because Ms. Streep was nominated for Adaptation. I don't think an actor/actress can be nominated twice in the same category. I believe the actors/actresses get to submit which categories and films they want to be considered for.
People who commented this scene are beautiful
So emotional
i wennt ous like ms.dollaway....i cant stop crying he felt :(((
The Love and Vulnerability in her face is soo beautiful 1:46 1:50
Great act
It's so sad
It’s intense sooo intense 💔
EXCELENTE PELICULAAAAAA.
Quelle merveille ! 💕

Not exactly, more like "Viginia Wolf". It was written in the letter she wrote to say good bye.

Oh wait, wrong show... :p
excellent
De verdad que ésta escena no tiene MADRE :´(
what is the song playing in the background?
Ed Harris made this movie.
I identify
Sorry this scene is very emotional but the VFX of Richard falling is so bad it took me out of it
Couldn't he have just waited for her to go away??!
Came back to watch it 8 years afterwards. Still brings tears to my eyes.
@@PaperadiGomma123 are u alive
WOW
M15+ adult themes low level coarse language
Pero.. ¿Has visto la película? Porque la escena está del carajo, o no se que querrás decir con que no tiene MADRE
Sorry but her acting is not up to par here. She did not show barely any panic when he was speaking
Nicoula non fare pazzie
Yeah, Ed Harris is a great actor but this film is so boring that it should come with a health warning. MAY LEAVE VIEWERS COMATOSE!
It depends on the person watching. I loved it. I have seen it several times and I am never bored by it. It depends on the person, I guess.
