Composition 2
17th November 2008

Hi John,
You already know what a film buff I am, so let me tell you about The Hours, a stunning film I’ve seen recently, starring Nicole Kidman, Meryl Streep and Ed Harris. The film, which is based on a novel, is about British writer Virginia Woolf’s literary career and her influence on successive generations of readers. I found the story a bit confusing at first. The Australian actress is absolutely fantastic in the part of Virginia Woolf; she puts on quite a beautiful British accent. The window scene between Streep and Harris —when he jumps off the window ledge— is quite touching. (I remember first seeing this American actor in the unforgettable The Truman Show, did you see that one? What a brillant script that was! The sets in that film were superb, too.) This one is a must-see film!
Email me back and tell me if you have seen any good films that I shouldn’t miss.
Cheers,
Tom
