Description
The story of three women searching for more potent, meaningful lives. Each is alive at a different time and place, all are linked by their yearnings and their fears. Their stories intertwine, and finally come together in a surprising, transcendent moment of shared recognition.
Clarissa, performed by Meryl Streep, gives such an exhaustive explanation that it cannot be said otherwise. The clock is like waiting for happiness that never comes. Happiness often seems to be something that is always in the future or in the past, but rarely in the present. This reminds us that it is important to appreciate the moments of happiness that we already have and not miss them by chasing after something else. Therefore, the main idea that I would probably take out of this film is that YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE RIGHT MOMENT TO BE HAPPY.
Now ask yourself a question. Are you happy?! It is you. Now or when was the last time you really experienced at least something like happiness?!
"... does someone have to die so that others begin to appreciate life?" (V. Wolf).
Well, actually think about how people can be lonely. Not just lonely, but lonely in the family. How could anything be more terrible? Inner loneliness can turn into a tragedy, and few people talk about it. And how many unhappy people actually live in a state of depression and loneliness, even being among others. You can exist like this for years, but you can realize your life and decide to change it in a matter of hours. This is exactly what happened to the heroines (but each in a different way). They live without the opportunity to have the right to choose for years, but they decide what to do next within one day.
Separately, I want to note how logically and smoothly (not like my muddled review), the frames of the lives of these three central heroines moved. It seems as if they actually live at the same time, only in different dimensions, and death does not exist. All of them, like the heroine of Mrs. Dalloway's novel, are happy at first glance, but in fact everything went wrong with them, and how and when, they themselves did not notice.
