That parallel of Jo running downstairs to find Beth recovered with Jo slowly walking downstairs to find Beth isn't there ... what a freaking gut punch.
Beth is suspected to have died from what we now call rheumatic heart disease. It's caused by damage to the heart done after a strep infection such as scarlet fever. Severe disease would have left her feeble and weak eventually dying of heart failure.
Rheumatic fever is also a rare, stand-alone, autoimmune disease. The body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues and organs, causing inflammation. Rheumatic fever can lead to serious complications, including rheumatic heart disease, which can cause inflammation and scarring of the heart valves. Treatment involves medication, sometimes for life. The scarring to the heart causes the heart to beat incorrectly, i.e., slowly or erratically, causing the body to process under oxyginated blood to the body's organs, leading to fatigue and pulminory problems (such as COPD). In severe cases, organ failure due to lack of oxygen can occur.
The first time, Jo runs down the stairs in a panic because she fears the worst, but she isn't sure. The second time, she walks slowly because she already knows in her heart :( Also Amy being protective of the popcorn and scolding the others for wasting the decorations, only to throw the popcorn in the air in her rush to greet her Father This movie represents these characters so.beautifully and relatably, I love it!
As a mother, this scene absolutely breaks me. I know this is just a movie, based on a novel, but I wanted so bad to wrap my arms around the mother. There is no pain the same as a mother losing a child.
The way the lighting changes between the scenes where Beth makes it, and when she doesn’t. The first scene feels warm and hopeful, while the second one feels cold and you can tell Jo already knows her sister is gone. So beautifully done, but what a heartbreaking sequence 💔.
I think my favorite detail of this movie with the storytelling not being completely linear like every "little women" movie that's come before it but going back and forth to the past to the present. The way it shows the stark contrast of how one event can change your perception of life and how you view it. the past was filmed to be bright, warm and happy and the present was filmed to be monotonous, gray and sad because of Beth's illness that ultimately leads to her death. the similar shots of Jo walking into the kitchen one time with Beth feeling better and the next with her just being gone and her mother being devastated at the loss of one of her children chokes me up every time. Brilliantly done.
I've always been close with my brother. He was just recently diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. I've always related to Jo for different reasons, but I never anticipated that I would find myself in a similar situation as her: grieving for a beloved sibling.
She’s the weakest actresses in the film. She’s not terrible in general but when you’re acting against the top actresses of her generation it really shows she falls short
When I saw this in theatres, I knew only the most basic information about Little Women and found myself incredibly engrossed in the film. Famously, I gasped when Amy turned down Fred, which caused the audience to laugh in response. But I stand by my shock, even if I’ve had a hundred years to read the book or see another film version!
I think it's lovely when you see someone enjoying a classic for the first time like that, I'm always so jealous as you can only have that reaction once 😊
I remember the first and only time I’ve ever gotten strep and the flu I got it like practically scarlet fever style, my temperature got up to 104.3 at it’s highest and I started getting a fever dream hallucinations I thought I was gonna fuckin die. My parents obviously took me in I got medicine and like a day later I broke the fever and it was winter outside and my mother found me just laying in the snow. It killed so many people and oh my god I understand why, kids are in no way old enough to fight that off. Modern medicine when used correctly saves lives dude.
The film wasn't in chronological order. The scene where Jo runs down the steps took place in the past when Beth recovered from her bought of scarlet fever, while the duller colored, slower scene of Jo walking down the stairs takes place in the "present".
@mir4553 in the scene from the past the bed is also empty, and Jo got worried and ran downstairs to check. Then she saw Beth recovered at the table. In the scene from the present, it's almost the same, Jo wakes up to find that Beth is not on her bed again, she gets anxious and yet holds some hope that this time Beth recovered too. That's why she goes downstairs to check again
The movie is separated into two timelines, past and present, the past is the warmly lit shots and the present are the cold and white light shots. It is comparing beths first time getting sickness and then when she eventually dies. it gives contrast and depth to jo as beths first run in she was scared and afraid of beths death so thus runs down to meet her mother, while in the present when beth is sick again and then dies, she knows in her heart that beth is dead, so she walks instead of runs downstairs.
I admit that I haven't seen this 2019 adaptation. I prefer the 1994 movie with Winona Ryder. I feel that Emma Watson could have fit Jo's role well. Smart, fiery, free-spirited, cultured even without the privilege of higher education, and willing to go against the grain of society's expectations of women at that time. She would have needed to tap into some temper and frivolity for the role, but she might have been able to pull it off.

Thank you, I was about to ask if anyone knew what she passed from.
My mom survived it in the 50s. It was close. She was in the house for a year.

My nana had that as a child. Lifelong heart trouble. Died at 68. I miss her everyday.
In the book she died from scarlet fever

Based on a novel based on real life. Alcott's sister that Beth is based on did die.
Losing a child is a nightmare you cannot wake from. I know this😢
I read somewhere that one of the greatest injustices is for a parent to bury their child. Like this is not the natural order of things, in way.
@@aragona199 oh wow. That really makes sense. I’m 24 and not a mom, but imagining anyone burying their child really just breaks something in you.
seems like she held on as long as she could for her family.

The same tune played in two different contexts. One happy and one sad. And yet played side by side its heartbreaking

I am so, so sorry. May God give your brother strength for what's to come, and much power to you to cope with everything. ❤
@@sarabulic992 Thank you
Emma’s accent was all over the place.
Yall crack me up pointing out stuff like that 😂
She’s an untalented nit-wit.
it's so bad I can't help but cringe 😂
I loved her as Hermione but her acting in this movie was pretty bad, the accent needed work
She’s the weakest actresses in the film. She’s not terrible in general but when you’re acting against the top actresses of her generation it really shows she falls short
Marmie breaking down sobbing into Jos arms gets me everytime 😭

I didn't know the story at all. Saw it because Timothee was in it.
Emma Watson's American accent sounds almost just like Susan Egan!!!! fascinating
Lost my youngest sister in 2020. She was a very special, dear person. This scene...😢
I share my condolences with you 🙏
I'm very sorry. I'm close to my sister, I cannot imagine.
Bless you 😢❤
I am sorry for your loss.
I'm so sorry 😢
7:42 Then, the scene changes from a depressed, frowny face to a smiley face of Jo.
This was done well, but this was one scene I actually thought was done better in the 90’s version. That version DESTROYS me when Beth dies
I cried a river, when I read that in a book.
The book is heart breaking as is the wynona ryder movie
I remember the first and only time I’ve ever gotten strep and the flu I got it like practically scarlet fever style, my temperature got up to 104.3 at it’s highest and I started getting a fever dream hallucinations I thought I was gonna fuckin die.

Beth’s death in the book made me so upset dude
Why?? I haven't read the book
@ I don’t remember how it was written. I honestly just remember reading the book and then her death happens, and I was devastated 😂
Put it in the freezer
the fact that john also dies young...
Does he?
@segoleneginibre859 Yeah, in the book Little Men
😂😂😂@@tetewa
Laura Dern is an incredible marmie
This was cute and all but it doesn't have the feels that the version with Winona Ryder had. Maybe I'm just a 90s baby 🤷♀️
saul goodman in another universe😂
❤انا من ليبيا أحسن نسخة سنة ١٩٩٤
I find it cheesy compared to the 1994 version
My younger cousin died from an unforgiving car crash in 2020 because of her impulsive driver. Her death anniversary is approaching soon. 😥
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Bless you 😢❤
Thank u both! That means so much to me!
I'm so sorry
I’m so sorry
poor beth 😢😢😢
that tea cup is empty
still have not done this book justice.
Florence was wrong for this role, she looks older than the other sisters and older than her future husband
I liked her in this role, but Emma Watson was outclassed by her sister actresses.
@@meggarstang6761all of them did a great job in the movie
Dude why they did this to us 😭💔
i only came to confirm the 1994 version was better and i was right. this made no sense
Still not as powerful as claire and winona performances
Claire Danes will always be Beth.
Nobody who hadn’t read the book could understand this movie. I don’t appreciate it at all.
I didn't read the book but I understood it perfectly...
This scene makes no sense, why does Jo run down the stairs if I presume beth dies in the bed?
The film wasn't in chronological order. The scene where Jo runs down the steps took place in the past when Beth recovered from her bought of scarlet fever, while the duller colored, slower scene of Jo walking down the stairs takes place in the "present".
Yes but she still looks to the bed before she runs down the stairs during the death scene.
The whole movie is a mess... worst little women adaptation ever
@mir4553 in the scene from the past the bed is also empty, and Jo got worried and ran downstairs to check. Then she saw Beth recovered at the table.

My heart is still with the 1994 version
i find this one a better version, especially what Greta did in the end, it was so fitting for our time.
Wait so the bish died, was moved out of her bed and soirsie Ronan was asleep in the chair the whole time? Damn she tired
I just can’t see Emma Watson as Meg. She’s a Jo. 🤷🏼♀️
Wow, this movie butchered the book
Don't be dramatic.
Emma Watson is so wrong for this role. So unappealing, so stiff, so smug, so dull. Ugh…
I admit that I haven't seen this 2019 adaptation. I prefer the 1994 movie with Winona Ryder.

@@Panda72021doubt it.
Winona Ryder was perfect as Jo.
The father was the cause of their poverty; what a twat that guy was.
Grr that actress gets on my nerves bad casting
This could have been such a good version of Little Women but instead it was just a mess. Was the editor drunk? A wonderful cast wasted.
