amazing beauty

I stumbled across the script of "The Moments" today, it's
amazingly beautiful.
I saw the movie in 2002 or early 2003,
didn't know anything about Woolf at the time, and had a very shallow understanding of the movie (and still is),
especially, the translation of the plate was so poor that the original The more difficult movies are even more incomprehensible.
(Even so, I wrote a film review at the time, and now I admire my guts!)
There is this paragraph:
"At that time, she thought that happiness was just beginning, but now, after thirty years,
Clay Lisa is still often shocked when she realizes that that is happiness...
now she knows: happiness is in that moment. There is no other time."

It moved me deeply.
While the writers have repeatedly denied this is a feminist film,
I still don't know why it isn't.

    I don’t like these people who regard their imagination of life as their so-called destiny. Isn’t the life you choose now? Obviously you are escaping from life, and you are "face". If fate makes you die, then it is shit. Do you really worship this shit and die obediently? Cherish life and stay away from Woolf.

    It was death, I chose life. Every sentence is poked in the heart. Especially this sentence: One early morning, I woke up in the morning light, and felt that life had infinite possibilities. I always thought that was the beginning of happiness. That is not just the beginning, but happiness itself. Some people are born unable to experience the happiness of ordinary people, unable to escape, unable to look forward to, and unable to regret. They live in this eternal moment, this moment of sorrow, the prelude to death.

The Hours quotes

  • Virginia Woolf: Did it matter, then, she asked herself, walking toward Bond Street. Did it matter that she must inevitably cease, completely. All this must go on without her. Did she resent it? Or did it not become consoling to believe that death ended absolutely? It is possible to die. It is possible to die.

  • Virginia Woolf: It's on this day. This day of all days. Her fate becomes clear to her.
