To answer your question, yes. Little Women was semi-autobiographical. Jo was written as a more idealized version of herself (the author). All of the characters in the March family were based on her real-life family members. You can visit Orchard House in Concord Massachusetts and she described it perfectly in the book. Louisa May Alcott never married and Jo in the book stated she never wanted to marry. The jumping back and forth was created by Greta Gerwig. The book goes in chronological order, starting at Christmas. "Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents." Her published in real life wanted Jo to be married so she created Professor Bhear. But she really didn't want to marry Jo off.

Yes, unfortunately women in novels had to be either married or their downfall explicity stated by the end of any novel. They didin't want to encourage woman to be single and happpy in anywhere.

Jo adressing the love letter to "Laurie" despite her calling him "Teddy" through out the whole movie feels like the story signaling that the love confession isn't really true. Jo even goes right back to calling him Teddy the moment they're face to face when he wakes her up, like the moment he is real again and not just a fantasy the romantic love goes away

I never noticed that! Very insightful take ❤

The scene of Amy burning Jo's novel that this movie doesn't make quite clear is that Amy is only 12 years old in that scene. (Florence Pugh was 23, so she had the difficult task of playing a literal child in the flashbacks.) Amy is jealous because all of the attention her big sister used to give to her, is now going toward Jo's new bestie. Plays, skating parties, dances, all fun things that she isn't old enough for, or just isn't invited to. Meg and Jo are growing up, developing other interests and making new friends, and Amy feels pushed out and left behind. The reason she burns Jo's book is not just because she's being a brat (tho she 100% is) but because she feels like Jo no longer pays any attention to her unless she's mad about something.

Yeah, this was one of my issues with this version... I don't quite understand the decision not to cast a younger actress to play young Amy like other versions did.

Also in the adaptation from the 90s Amy grabs the novel and throws it into the fireplace instead of burning it page after page which gives the scene a different vipe to. And the image of Jo trieing to pull some of the pages out of the fire stuck in my memory especially because I am a writer too and I almost burned one of my very early stories after I recieved negative feed back for something else I wrote. (I don't know how accurat that adaptation is though.)

I really appreciated how Laura's Marmie showed fear and a sense of being overwhelmed at times. As a character who is consistently depicted as the backbone and strength of her girls and family, she is still human.

24:16 the look on Mr. Laurence's face was him thinking about his deceased daughter who loved to play the piano, just like Beth. Beth reminded him of her quite a lot, that's why he'd felt such a connection very early on. But I'm sure you've learnt that later on in the movie 😊

I know everyone is praising the 90s version etc and I love it too since it's the one I grew up on but this one is such a unique masterpiece. Playing with the timelines, the relqtionship between the sisters and fleshing out of all of them is excellent here. The incorporation of the author's life/thoughts and the duality of the ending brings it to one of my top films. I think it's the best directed film by GG (so far).

​@@Angelicwings1I disagree that modernising it was a bad thing. I think the whole reason Greta chose to make this version was because she thought the story had something to say to our modern audience. There would be no reason to remake it if she wasn't going to make some changes and editorial choices. I love the way this version sort of gives Louisa May Alcott the ending she actually wanted but didn't get to have. And Jo ending up with the professor and Amy ending up with Laurie doesn't seem as jarring and random as it does in the original because of how they pieced together the timeline. This way we see each with the person they actually end up with first so that we have time to get used to the idea.

​@@Angelicwings1I agree with both of the comments here, but there is so much truth to what you're saying about the "modernizing" of classic stories now. It's to the point that I've become leery and wary of anything made now that seeks to "update" a tale already told through the lens of modernity. Mostly because the modern elements are so writ large, it almost always undermines the original story, it's characters, and concepts to serve a purpose meant for the updater rather than the author. I understand that it's blasphemy for people who love it, but "Anne With An E" tv series is a model for what I'm saying -- along with other titles I'll not mention here. I spent money on the three seasons, but my interest waned after the first. I just stopped caring because again, modernity overwrites the spirit of the the originals and completely changes everything it was meant to be. And I realize why this is being done, though again, this isn't what I wish to do in this post. I only wanted to state that I very much understand and appreciate what you're saying. And wasn't the professor there at the family gathering at the end? It's been so long since I've seen the older versions of this novel, or read it, so I simply don't remember it. I believe Jo and the professor end up together, but the way it's presented in this movie, he's in the background and Jo doesn't seem to interact with him the way her sisters are interacting with the men they love

I love the way this movie tells the story through colouring. The childhood scenes are all tinted with this warm orange/yellow colour, it feels familiar and safe and carefree just like reminiscing on your childhood can feel. All scenes of adulthood are plain and cold blue, reflecting how the world has lost its magic as the girls have grown up. It also helps to keep track of when in the story we are. An absolute favourite of mine, this movie

Yes and I love how it's also about emotion rather than the time period. For example, Amy's scenes in Paris are bright, colorful, and even have the same childhood warmth such as the one of her painting at the beginning. This shows how Amy has never clung onto childhood the way Jo has and she embraces her adulthood because she can get the chance to paint, travel, marry rich etc.

Laurie's grandfather had a more liking to Beth because she remembered him of his daughter who died. You can tell in the scene where he listens to Beth playing the piano that he was moved, I think because she played the piano similar or the same as his daughter 🥺

The book did not go back and forth from past to future, but i love the way greta did it

This is the best reaction I've seen about this movie so far, I'm impressed how thoroughly you analyze the characters and understand their nature and where they are coming from. Meg and John seem to be such an underrated couple, so it was wonderful to see you appreciating them. I agree with you so much, especially when it comes to Amy and Laurie both as the individuals and together. I had to delete my original comment, because I wanted to add my thoughts on Amy, Laurie and Jo-situation: Jo and Laurie have this deep, unique bond and understanding, humor and inside jokes that they couldn’t have with anyone else. In my eyes, they are platonic soulmates, but a little too similar to work as a couple in the long run. In that way, I think Jo was right: eventually, they would have started to resent each other. I believe that Jo always loved Teddy in her own way, but it wasn’t equal to the romantic way Teddy felt for her. She ponders the important question: Do we love someone for who they are or do we just want to be loved? She was constantly shown to long for her childhood and something familiar and to wish that things wouldn't change, which is probably why she was hesitant if she made the right decision when she rejected Laurie. But like she said, the second time she would’ve agreed to marry him because she was lonely. When it comes to Amy, it was different. Amy had to love Laurie from the sidelines for a long time, while Laurie’s love for her grew gradually. They bickered, fought, even (and the tone of that was different from the fights between Laurie and Jo), and challenged each other constantly. They are different enough to complete each other. There was - and is - tension, sparks and earthly and honest love. Amy is exactly the kind of wife that Laurie needs and Laurie respects her and supports her the way she deserves. That's how I see it, but it's always interesting to follow the deeply rooted debate about this and see different point of views. Thank you for this.

I grew up with the 90s movie, but this is my favorite version. Greta Gerwig did a fantastic job adapting the novel and blurring the lines between Jo March as a character and Louisa May Alcott (the real author of the Little Women books). She didn't want to write a love interest for Jo but was pressured into it. Many readers wanted Jo and Laurie together as a couple in the end, and she didn't like the idea. I love how Amy and Laurie's relationship was developed here.

Jo’s monologue about wanting to succeed and following her heart but being lonely makes me bawl my eyes out every time. So thanks for making me sob on a Monday evening haha

Even though I grew up watching the 90s version, 2019 is by far my favorite adaptation of the book. My grandma read this book to me and my sister when we were very young, so this story has always had a special place in my heart. For me, watching the 2019 adaptation was the first time I felt a film captured all the emotions I experienced hearing the story for the first time and really brought back that experience of my grandmother reading the book to me. It's always so special to experience when a work of art can transport us back to something foundational in our lives.

the sequel book (and there is also a show) "Little Men" was always my favorite. If anyone is looking for a good read. It's Jo and her husband running their home for boys. The story is mostly about the boys and their adventures and turmoilt

Came here looking for this exact comment.

Yeah Amy was very wrong for burning the novel, but she was a literal child so I don't think she realized the extent of it fully at that point

Of the dozens of admirable elements in this film, one of my favorites is when Friedrich and Jo share the experience of hearing dialogue in Shakespeare’s TWELFTH NIGHT that foreshadows an episode in their own relationship. Another is when Beth plays two Robert Schumann pieces that are self-referential for this story. Long story short, beyond the emotional impact, I found this film to be an analytical gold mine.

I just have to jump in and echo what many have said already, which is that I grew up with and adored the 90s film (Winona Ryder, Kirsten Dunst, Claire Danes, Christian Bale, etc., What a cast!!!), but I absolutely LOVE what Greta Gerwig did with the story in this adaptation. First and foremost, she convinced me that Amy and Laurie actually worked, which I never believed in the book or in the earlier adaptation. I think that comes from playing with the parallel timelines, rather than going straight chronological, which was genius, imo. It also, very successfully, demonstrates, through the story and the visual look, the nostalgia for childhood and the realities of growing up. The cool tones of the present vs. the warm, rosy, tones of childhood. And Alexandre Desplat's score is beautiful. Is it too much to hope that you might watch Lady Bird, which was Greta Gerwig's solo directorial debut, which also stars Saoirse Ronan and Timothee Chalamet? And, even though Little Women is brilliant, and I

The 90s version with Winona Ryder has the best Beth, but this version has the best Amy & Laurie. The Jos are equally lovable but both bring something different in each adaptation. I highly suggest you watch the Winona Ryder version for comparison. The story is always enthralling. Fun Fact: Christian Bale plays Laurie in the 90s version.

@melissaisloud7404

Beth’s passing in the 90s version is imo far more impactful. You get more time with Beth and her kindness, and she’s played by Claire Danes. Beth’s death in the 90s version leaves me weeping every time. Florence’s Amy has a lot more character depth, and it’s really made this version of Amy the exceptional portrayal of them all thus far. As for both portrayal of Jo, I think Winona and Saoirse both get the essence of the character. Winona’s Jo and Saoirse’s are both genuine. Each portrayal is worth watching bc the character feels the same but the beats are taken differently and it’s a nice testament to the various ways of storytelling.

I don’t know what competition this movie was up against, but I feel like it should have won more!

In the book, the old man Mr. Laurence had a connection with Beth because she reminded him of his dead Granddaughter, especially the way Beth would play the piano. The piano he let Beth play belonged to her.

i adore this movie. there's so many "classic" scenes. the scene with laurie and jo dancing for example always sticks with me as a scene from sound of music or my fair lady would. it's such a beautiful film and i grow attached to all the characters. i've probably seen it a dozen times now, but still was tearing up watching along with you!

I love the juxtaposition of the parishioners walking into their Christmas service while the March girls pass them by on their way to *provide* service.

I'm impressed that you reacted and enjoyed this film as your first look at Little Women. The Gerwig version does mix up the timeline. I hope you will also look at the 1994 film which does follow the timeline. It shows more of Jo's story with Professor Bhaer and how they became a couple. In the book I never felt that Professor Bhaer was a rushed addition to the story. Author Louisa May Alcott fitted him in quite well. Bhaer is not meant to be a handsome man, but most films try to cast him as both distinguished and appealing, and 1994's Gabriel Bryne is certainly that.

The actress who played Jo was the same actress in Atonement, (but much younger), who played the evil 14 yr old liar that destroyed the lives of Keira Knightly & James McAvoy. Greta G took liberties in writing this version of Little Women to reflect a modernized women's POV that I appreciate. It's my favorite version of this story. But a more faithful book adaptation is the 1994 movie with Christian Bale & Winona Ryder. So glad you loved it & a what a wonderful reaction.

i don’t know why but “stay away old man” killed me 🤣

@Te_legram_The_Nick_Reacts I grew up on the 1994 one with Winona Ryder and a baby faced Kirsten Dunst so knowing what age range Amy starts at in the story was honestly distracting when I saw this one at the theater. Like Florence does Amy well for sure but some of young Amy's behavior doesn't play out the same when the actress can only pass for as young as *maybe* 16ish at a stretch.

Definitely watch the 90's version with another all-star cast if you get the chance. They are both phenomenal films.

The 1994 version will always hold the most special place in my heart❤️

Yes Nick! So excited for this reaction :)

I grew up with the 90s version, so it’s always tempting to let nostalgia push me to say it’s the better film, but I think this one is truer to the spirit of the book and its author. This version unlocked a lot of the more complex material for me, seeing it as an adult, and it’s hard now not to focus on the changes that the times forced on the story when I watch the earlier version. Plus this one just has more maturity to it, and I think that suits a coming of age story-it’s the sense of looking back with wisdom. And it’s willing to let the viewer do some of the mental and emotional labor to reach the story on its terms. The 90s one does a lovely job of creating a sense of family, but it doesn’t always delve deep enough imo, and I think it’s related to the fact that they never questioned the changes made-there’s a lot of things that go unquestioned, actually, and Alcott’s work was worthy of having some bigger questions asked. I watch the 90s version when I want wholesome comfort. I watch this one when I want the true soul of Little Women.

You should definitely check out the 90's version with Winona Ryder and Christian Bale (and others, like Kirsten Dunst). It's, imo, the best version. Even if you just watch it on your own time (though it would be nice to see it!), you should check it out. :) Edit: And it's hilarious you said Laurie was like Christian Bale when he was laying on the girls lap.. cause that's who Bale plays in the older version, lol.

Wonderful reaction. Thanks so much!

Probably the best book to movie adaptation I’ve seen. It was warm and comforting but full of emotion. So much heart to it 😊♥️

Lady Bird next. Laurie Metcalf was amazing in it.

Now you need to see Lady Bird, Greta’s (solo) directorial debut, another multi-Oscar nominated film with Saoirse Ronan (Jo March, Little Women) as lead again…that also has Timothee Chalamet.

This is a remake actually you should check out the 90s one!! It's great too!! ❤

I love this movie, went to see in the cinema and i was sobbing when Beth died. I think know how Jo felt when Amy burned her novels. I have loved to draw since I was a kid, and my younger sibling tore my drawings because we had a small fight. I was so mad at him for days.

Just wanted to say I always appreciate your thoughtful and intelligent insight

You were saying Beth at the end when you meant Amy. Interesting watching you see for the first time a story which I have read numerous times throughout my 67 years, and watched all the movies of. I quite liked June Allyson's portrayal of Jo in 1949. Greta Gerwig chose to reveal aspects of the author, Louisa May Alcott, as well as interweaving timelines, which made it a fresh adaptation both for those familiar with an oft-done story, and for a new, modern audience. She also emphasized the feminist aspects of the book, while leaving out its Christian/religious references, of which there were many. This all made it more palatable and more relatable for modern tastes.❤

I feel like Laurie became a better person thanks to Amy, and that's true love. Wanting to be better, wanting to improve, even though it's difficult and boring at first. Jo never pushed him to do that. He had fun with her, and thought that's love, but it was Amy who changed him and made him want to change and grow up. From showing up drunk and having "fun" and showing how jealous he is to leaving and making money and respecting his grandfather, and letting things be. And Amy quite literally gave him green light by saying "I just didn't love Fred as I should". Previously she said "we have some power over who we love", and later she admits defeat.

You should definitely watch the 90's movie with Winona Ryder, Kirsten Dunst, Susan Sarandon, and Christian Bale. I MUCH prefer it to this version as it follows the book more faithfully. And the acting is phenomenal. I love Saoirse but Winona was a better Jo, to me.

This was the first chapter book I ever read on my own. Love both the 90s version of the movie and this one. Great reaction.

This film is such a good example of how an actor can completely turn around how a character is perceived. A lot of people don't like Amy when reading (the first) book or even watching some of the earlier adaptations, but Florence Pugh managed to make her so endearing, and just more emotionally fleshed out, so that you completely understand her behavior. SOmething that earlier adaptations don't always do succesfully.

Yes, Florence Pugh was a big reason why Amy was such a better character in this version, but it was Greta Gerwig's screenplay that provided the space and time. The 1994 film gave us more of the Jo and Professor story which was great, but a less complex story for Amy and Laurie.

Louisa May Alcott, author of the saga Little women and were very biographical inspired. Love her, she was one of the first suffragettes writers with very femenine vision in her writings.

Wonderful reaction to a beautiful movie adaption. This is actually a combination of the 'Little Women' novel and the 2nd book 'Good Wives' The books take a linear time line, but I love the way Greta Gerwig told the story jumping about through time.

As someone who loves this novel, I am so happy that you watched this film. I highly recommend the novel if you are so inclined! But to your points after Amy burns the novel I fully agree with you. To this day the only thing that made it change was a life or death circumstance but the destruction of writing was horrible to me then and now. Also welcome to the RIP Beth everything is dust now fandom

While I did like some aspects of this movie, I just prefer the Winona Ryder version as it just feels like it has a warmer, more inviting feel and look to it. I do prefer a story that goes in order, not jumping back and forth as much as this one did. It can tend to confuse ppl, like it seemed to with you when it started happening. I have watched both versions a few times, though the other a bit more. You should react to the WR one next month. I always did love that a Love interest was made for Jo, as I always felt she deserved to have it. 😊 Not saying she needed a Man, but being the old fashioned Romantic that I've always been, it was a good move on LMA's part.

Such a sweet reaction from you! Not gonna lie, I kind of wish women still wore dresses like those! I've always loved them!! Although in my climate, I would be fainting from the heat all the time 😂😅🥵

I grew up loving the 1990s version with Winona Ryder. In that and all the previous versions, she falls in love with the professor and goes after him. It's so romantic. Greta Gerwig, the director of this movie, said she wanted to stay true to the original intent of the writer of the book who really did change the ending because of the publisher. And yes, it was autobiographical. You can visit the Louisa May Alcott Orchard House and gardens in Concord, Massachusetts. I went as a teen and loved the museum!!

The story is a version of Louisa May Alcott, the author’s family’s history, based on her and her sisters, but it’s made prettier of course. They were kind of the hippies of that time, or at least the counter culture. Bronson Alcott, Louisa May Alcott’s father, brought transcendentalism to the US, he had a private school where he took in a black pupil (a first at the time), but it caused the school to close. He refused to have a job for philosophical reasons. Him and his buddies tried to start a commune, but the women had to do most of the work, and the men discussed philosophy. They were always poor and dependent on others, because the father was somewhat useless. When you see Meg’s wedding in the garden, with flowers and so on, it’s really unconventional for the time. You should read the books, they are so good. Of course a lot of the moral is old-fashioned but the people and the feelings are so real.

you should 100% watch lady bird (2017) it is another Greta Gerwig x Saoirse ronan x timothee chalamet collaboration.

You should definitely react to the 90s one

I was also curious about the dollar value difference from 1840 to now and when I looked it up it seems that 50 dollars back than is an equivalent to 1,768.22 Dollars now. With that said I can see why she was beating herself up over buying just the fabric. I'd probably cry.

It was based in 1860, my bad. Still 1,513.45 for fabric would also make me cry lol.

The first time I saw this movie I was 31. Now I'm 34. I'm the only one left at home and I'm a writer. No surprise Jo's my favoute character.
