Inspiration Series: Movies!

[Bridgette]

I don't watch movies too much, and the only one that comes to mind is The Hours. It tells the stories of three women - Virginia Woolf (Nicole Kidman), Laura Brown (Julianne Moore) and Clarissa Vaughn (Meryl Streep). Each one has a connection to the book Mrs. Dalloway - Woolf is writing it, Brown is trying to read it, and Vaugn is living it. This movie is about two and a half hours long, and isn't fast-paced like many movies today, so not everybody is going to like it. But I loved it. I read the book that the movie is based on (The Hours by Michael Cunningham) before watching the movie. It is a very emotional, depressing film. I cried a lot. The Hours made me question my life and helped me to realize that you can't live your life for other people. I love this movie and highly suggest it.
