The_Hours

The Hours The film The Hours deals with distinct social welfare issues, as the plot spans across various time periods in the 20th Century. It is a drama that revolves around three very different women: two of whom have been profoundly affected by the works of Virginia Woolf; the other woman is Woolf, herself. As the story unfolds, they are going through different depressive states: Virginia Woolf is struggling to write her novel Mrs. Dalloway in 1923, as she recovers from depression; Laura Brown is a depressed and pregnant Los Angeles housewife who reads Woolf's novel in 1949, as she plans her husband's birthday party; and Clarissa Vaughn is a book editor in modern-day New York, who is planning a farewell party for her AIDS-inflicted former lover, Richard - a famous author who had nicknamed her Mrs. Dalloway. The issue of depression is a central theme that weaves its way through the entire film. Each of these three women is faced with her own struggle for identity and her place in the world. During this battle, depression arises and has a distinct effect on each of the women who experience the same life demands.
