Even better, when Greta explains how the first pairing we see in the beginning is the couple we expect to see at the end (love story format) ... Jo is at the door of the publisher in the beginning and seeing her book made at the end. It is the love story of a woman and her career!

It reminded me of the way the industry and media, and therefore the people treated Megan Fox.

LOOK i know people say shes overrated and of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion but GOD i think shes such a genuis. I love the way she talks about writing and the overwhelming passion she has. This adaptation (to me) is something special and will stay with me forever.

I didn't know a thing about Greta Gerwig. When I first watched Lady Bird it shook me to my core. Often I've found people writing women as "women" (with all the baggage they associate with womanhood) or as "men but not men" (stripping them of pathos and female trauma completely). Greta shows womanhood so differently. LB made me an instant fan and she is the only reason why I rushed to watch this film. It was really nice to hear her take on the technicality of writing!

What's she's saying about the fixation on a romantic interest based on the order in which the characters are introduced is so true, yet I haven't really noticed it before Greta pointed it out. Amazing.

This movie is great. Greta is a great filmmaker with a long future ahead of her.

I love her idea of seeing life as a point just moving forward and how it feels as if you could live your younger days in a mere reminiscence.

I never hated Amy, I just disliked her because she burned Jo's book 😂 I love her now though

She is so extraordinarily good at this. It makes me proud???

The delivery of the lines was something I especially noticed! The other movies had them all delivery it the same way but this was so real and genuine, the sisters acted like sisters and argued and screamed and interrupted each other. It felt so special.

It's so great to hear Greta talk about the slash! Oh, the mighty slash! Kevin Kerr and Sarah Delappe also use the slash and other techniques to make dialogue feel more natural and fast paced - asterisks and multiple columns also help. I think movie and tv writers could learn so much from playwrights, and I'm so glad Greta Gerwig is borrowing techniques like these

I mean, my hatred for Professor B is as much a part of me as my love for writing (thanks to Jo!) is a part of me ...so I'm *never* going to not hate that character but Greta Gerwig's retelling of him did make him less awful for me. I also love the technique used for updating the dialogue and the framing of the story around Beth's death and everything else basically!

She is very dedicated to narratives. Is very rare to find an actor/writer/director. Usually, a filmmaker is two of them, or even one. But she is great at all of them, she is a genius of representation :)

This movie took my breath away... It made me nostalgic in a way that broke my heart. I cried at so many of the themes in this movie! It was also GORGEOUS i mean i wanna live there! The way it ended was so brilliant :) Greta is a GEM !

going to need a 2 hour version of greta talking about her process and this film

Thank you, this is really helpful for learning more about structuring narratives.

Greta is a genius; I really respect her work and her creativity! Definitely my role model!! One of the best directors 100%

The ending was so satisfying to watch as a viewer. I was so overjoyed when she had her book published..it was such a feel-good moment.

Both of her films have absolutely inspired me, broke me down, made me cry. I have long loved the 90's version of Little Woman as a family favorite, as well as the book. But holy shit her version. I watched it near christmas with my mom and younger sister and while I held my tears in as best I could, I sobbed later that night not out of sadness but out of just pure elation at how beautiful it felt to have emotions I've felt explained on screen in a way I hadn't experience before. I think she is a genius, people can say what they wanna say but she is literally leading the way for female filmmakers.

As an aspiring young screenwriter, I must say that your channel is very helpful. Thank you for posting such interesting and informative content!

that was so inspiring. i want to write a screenplay now.

GG! Slow clap!!! Hence, every reviewer of the film who spoke with authority about the timeline of TLW she made is so confusing simply did not understand and observed how it’s splices of events moving forward. She may or may not won many awards but I hope she keeps doing her craft.

I love Little Women so much and am always so impressed whenever I watch a BTS or scene breakdown or conversation with Greta about it. UGH! Loved this!

The genius of this version is the non linear timeline. The difference really is in meeting Laurie with Amy because it does validate their eventual marriage as it not only adheres to that rule of film that the first boy or girl that meet are the one they should end up with, even if that isn't at all how real life goes, but one of the very first things Laurie says is that he is not sorry Jo turned him down so that also validates him marrying Amy. Every aspect of this film fixed or addressed the problems I've had with other adaptions and if another wants to outdo this one then it will have to do something pretty damn impressive because as it stands right now, Greta Gerwig's Little Women is the definitive version.

I've learned so much, listening to her, and they way she approached the text, wow what a great filmmaker you are Greta Gerwing.

She is so wise, I can listen to her speak all day. She makes art that you can feel and allows me to see the world more clearly.

greta is my icon i love her so much oMG

thanks for making this! Love your and Gretas work

i love her voice so much

Gerwig, my favorite film maker, one of the best artists. Period.

Gerwig very quickly became one of my favorite favorite directors. Lady Bird is my favorite film of all time and Little Women was my favorite film of 2019 and listening to her talk about how she made this is very insightful

Aaron Sorkin and David Mamet do it too, but they use parentheses, which I like more since the slash is used in poetry to indicate a new line.

I loved this movie so much, because when they announced they were making it I had gotten the book a month ago and already read it two times. It's still my favorite book and I think this version captured it perfectly

This is without question the most beautiful and perfect movie I have ever seen.

Almost all girls in my era felt that this was her book. I have loved all the movie variants every made. It motivated me to read all of Alcott's writings and her biography as her father's daughter.

The part where she talked about the over lapping conversations really amazed me

I loved this movie so much.. absolutely amazing

greta is a gift to people who love cinema

Beautiful. Thank you

she is so fucking smart and this film is extremely special to me, you don't even understand, she really inspires me to get into writing and film. smth about gerwig, her amazing awkwardness and spewing out words yet somehow coming out with the perfect intelligible answer makes her so endearing and fun to be around, she has this warmth and is truly smth special. its because of her and this film that made me interested in film and movies; and I owe it all to greta geriwg and little women,.

In this times this movie really touches me..

This resonates, especially about not losing your creative ideas during the writing process. I wish Greta's intent had come through more clearly in the film, or perhaps, I wish I understood the intent before watching the film, because I would have enjoyed it even more (and probably cried more). How? I don't yet know - battling the same issue.

this is my favorite video on youtube

"it's not girl gets boy - it's girl gets book" love that.

i adore her so 💙

Thank you Greta Gerwig you are so good amazing actress and rolemodel and director ❤❤ Love both lady bird and little women of Greta Gerwig from 2019❤❤

Greta's version of Little Women is my therapy. I've lost count of all the times I've watched this film❤ it's my comfort movie

Yep she's become one of my favourite people

She is so, so smart!!! Thank you, Greta, for breaking the stereotype that suggests screenwriting needs to be done methodically and you should always go through outlines, beat sheets, treatments, etc. The truth is - every artist has a different process. I completely relate to what Greta says - outlining for me is the fastest way to kill a story and all of my enthusiasm along with it.

Best so far.
