Often when read a book, and later on watch the motion picture, I am greatly disappointed. In most cases a picture or motion picture is not worth a thousand words, because words can most of the times express more that a picture. Words open up your imagination to suggestion and creativity. The motion of the book "The Hours" by Michael Cunningham proved to be one of the few movies that prove me wrong when I say I prefer or enjoyed reading the book.
The cast of the motion picture "The Hours" was perfectly selected except for the actors playing Julia, Clarissa's daughter, and Walter, Richard's old lover in the story of Ms. Dalloway. In the book Julia is described as a tall stern kind of young girl. In the motion picture she is very feminine and small, not as I expected her to be, tall with almost manly structure, or thick but slim. I expected Walter to be a slimmer more youthful man, in a way that he would not have appeared his age. He appeared much more disconnected, emotionally unattached than in the book when Clarissa breaks down.
In the story of Ms. Brown, her husband could not have been selected worse. Being that Julianne Moore is a beautiful woman (which she should not have been); her husband was not very attractive. One of the major points in the beginning of Ms. Brown was the fact that her husband was "too much" for her but in the motion picture it seemed to be the other way around. As Ms. Woolf I feel the casting was perfect in all aspects as well as the portrayal of these characters. I believe that the only difference in the way secrets are revealed is in the story of Ms. Dalloway because many of things that she reveals to herself , she actually reveals to Walter when she breakdowns before him. Other than that everything else was revealed in the same manner as in the book considering that this is a motion picture. .
Most of the stories are not actually dialogue, but inner feelings. The director does cover this aspect very well because in all stories the expressions in the character seem so authentic, that it was almost like you felt what these three women were feeling.
