The definition of "lector" is "1. A person who reads aloud certain of the scriptural passages used in a church service. 2. A public lecturer or reader in certain universities." A rare word, but not one to avoid. I assume (not having read or seen said book or movie) that "lector" was used appropriately, and will reinstate it. Jwrosenzweig 20:04 23 Jul 2003 (UTC)
I'm currently reading "The Hours". I'm only a little more than half-way through the book, but it's not obvious to me (at least yet) how "lector" is appropriate for this character. Perhaps the movie differs. Perhaps it will become clearer in the second half of the book. Bill 20:25 23 Jul 2003 (UTC)
Suspected copyvio from IMDb.
The story of how the novel Mrs. Dalloway affects three generations of women (Virginia Woolf writes the story, Laura Brown reads it, and Clarissa Vaughn lives it), all of whom, in one way or another, have had to deal with suicide in their lives.
Will put up copyvio warning. Thorns Among Our Leaves 03:35, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
I removed the Halle Berry reference in this sentence, "Kidman won both the Golden Globe and the Oscar for Best Actress. Kidman's portrayal in the film, in which she wore a prosthetic nose, highlighted the Hollywood rumor that beautiful actresses can only receive the best dramatic roles once they diminish their physical attributes in a role. Other examples are Halle Berry's and Charlize Theron's wins in 2002 and 2004 respectfuly."

The book is marked by a fairly unusual "stream of conciousness" style. Shouldn't we comment on how the film deals with that ? -- Beardo 15:26, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
This article needs to clarify how the action is set "within the span of one day" while apparently being set in different eras. I haven't seen the film so I can't amend the article, but as a reader of the article, it has left me baffled and needs to be rectified. Yeanold Viskersenn ( talk) 03:08, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
Why is the critical response text almost entirely full of negative reviews, yet the Metacritic score is a very positive 81%. It seems unbalanced that the reviews listed are all negative, needs to be rectified. Seems like an author with a negative agenda wrote it. - Connor 5612, 13 September 2010

I'm going tom take this one, however I feel I'm likely going to autofail. Rusted AutoParts 00:56, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
Yeah I'm going to auto-fail. Biggest problem is a lack of production history. Too few sources, all of them are for Critical Response. The Plot section far exceeds the 700 word limit (it currently sits at 975 words). Really for me the biggest thing holding this article back are these things. Put some more meat on it's bone and it should eventually qualify. Rusted AutoParts 01:01, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
WP:FILMPLOT states: "The summary should not exceed the range unless the film's structure is unconventional, such as Pulp Fiction or Memento's non-linear storylines, or unless the plot is too complicated to summarize in this range." I feel this film's (The Hours) structure is unconventional, non-linear, and relies a lot on the visuals and dialogue which is why it's quite detailed. It would take away from the plot summary to not include what's been written. If you've seen the film, you'll know what I'm talking about. Does anyone agree or disagree? And if you disagree, how would you go about decreasing the plot summary size for this film? Factfanatic1 ( talk) 03:00, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
@ Rusted AutoParts: Could you assist me with trimming and rewording the plot summary please? Factfanatic1 ( talk) 21:21, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
The guidelines mention Pulp Fiction and Memento as examples because they used to have much longer plot summaries but editors took that as a challenge and even those articles now have relatively short plot summaries compared to what they used to be. As RustedAutoparts said, there is a lot that can be done to slim down a plot summary while still retaining the most important details. It wouldn't surprise me if determined editors were able to trim another 100-200 words off the current 975 words (or 972, if you don't count the year subheadings, and that include first paragraph explaining the structure too) but personally I wouldn't be too worried about getting it down to exactly 700 words or less. -- 109.78.217.4 ( talk) 05:18, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
