It was extremely interesting how the movie The Hours supported Clarissa's ideas about how people were connected. The most obvious connection is when Richard's mother comes to present day Clarissa's house. Through Richard's mother, Virginia Woolf is connected to the Clarissa living in NYC even though their lives are on separate continents in different time periods. Clarissa (from the novel) marvels at how the most unlikely people are connected by a fine mist of connections.
The music in the hours has received much acclaim. I think the acclaim is well deserved. With such a vast library of possible compositions and the original works of the movie's composer, the time needed to pull together and write a program that is so well-rounded and appropriate for each scene of the movie is extensive. The underlying musical motif that is repeated is appropriately manipulated and powerfully utilized to connect the characters and their downfalls.
Seriously? Leaving your family and running away to being a librarian in Canada is hardly choosing life... Through this choice she is essentially dead to everyone that matters to her and so, its really hard to say that she's choosing life. Like imagine if everyone that you know pretended you were dead and didn't exist.... would you be alive? I guess, technically, but what is life without anyone else. Seriously, she might've just died. Her choice of "life" was necessary for the connections between the plots, so I guess I forgive her.
