Timmarna

I slutet av filmen blir Virginia Woolfs avskedsbrev uppläst av Nicole Kidman som spelar författarinnan.

"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 'til this terrible disease came. I can't fight 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."

Oh!
Heartbreaking...
minns till och med rösten i mitt huvud, medan det läses upp...
på en gammal brun bänk som hon satt.

Mycket vacker film, som fångat "författarsjukan" så fint.
[det är en författarsjuka enligt mig då] ;)

Timmarna är en film jag kan se många gånger och vältra mig i melankolin, utan att för den delen bli nere själv. Den är so bedövande vacker att man gråter med ett leende på läpparna.
Speciellt scenen på tågstation när hon skriker "I'm dying in this town!". Väl förtjänt Oscar, in deed!
