The Very Confusing Hours

The Hours was a very creative and artistic film. You have three different women who each lived in three different time periods, but were all somehow linked to one another. The film kept switching back and forth from time period to time period. That was where the confusion set in. Now, all three of the women were depressed. They weren't able to live the lives that they desired, and therefore, were confined and restricted. So they lived depressed and confused lives. Maybe what the director was trying to do was have the viewers somewhat feel how the three women felt. I know I left the viewing of the film feeling confused and depressed. If there is one thing I got out of this movie that would be freedom is a desired feeling. Even though all three women were well off, they felt trapped. They wanted to be free, but never really reached that distinction.
