‘The Hours’ is a film that follows the life of three women. Each character is connected by the novel ‘Mrs Dalloway’ by Virginia Woolf (who is featured as one of the characters).
The film is set over three-time periods (the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries), as a result I thought the film would provide a good insight into understanding whether past issues, trends and culture still apply now.
Suppression, mental health and suicide are just a few of the dark issues covered by the film. It becomes evident that all are concerning issues in current society, but were also throughout history. Most problems caused by social expectations, especially amongst women.
As a man it is difficult for me to understand the suppression felt by women, however I feel this film gives a great insight into the struggle felt by women throughout the past few centuries.
