I have a desk which I write at - only short stories for my own amusement and joy - but I have it because she did and all girls should. To write, to day dream, to invent and to just be themselves.
Completely agree with you! June is our family's favorite Jo, and this film has been watched by all of us year after year after Thanksgiving for over 4 decades. A classic film!
It'd be so interesting to visit the 19th century and to meet the author. Gerwig's quote, "Crawl inside and live there, " that's the 94 version not the current one.
I don't really understand the comment that the family was poor. I mean, did poor in the 19th century mean something different? To me, a family is not poor if they can afford to have such illustrious minds as neighbors. It's like poverty was some romantic notion in terms of the Alcotts. Like it was the kind of poverty that only exists in, ironically, stories that I've read while in my experience real poverty has no such redeemable qualities. Real poverty has no charms but is rather a pervasive LACK. I really want to figure out what is meant by calling the Alcott's "poor." Were they really poor in the modern sense of the word?
Jennifer Williams honestly Louisa romanticized her childhood quite a bit in Little Women. Her father had frequent financial endeavors which failed and impacted the family. Louisa describes days of not eating, but that aspect of their lives isn’t touched on in the book, because Louisa still idolized her father, nor is it mentioned much in the movie adaptations. The fine things they had were bought at a time when they still had money and then taken care of and used until they fell apart, because that’s just what had to be done. It also seems that the family became friends with a lot of these great minds before they were successful, and they got along well because Louisa’s father was an intellectual and pioneer in modern education, and his daughters were as smart and ambitious as he was.
Kristina ... if you don’t want to watch it, that’s fine. And there are people who don’t understand the appeal of Louisa May Alcott’s rich description of the love, challenges, and humdrum of a family as the grow and individuate. It’s the richness of the tapestry that has appealed to generations.

Such a wonderful segment! I cannot wait to see this in theaters with my own mother who encouraged me to read Little Women.
5:43 Who doesn’t consider Little Women to be a classic? Its priceless Americana
Rick G 🤚 I just don’t get it 🤷♀️
Reminds me of the Bronte sisters and their house, their fantastical make-believe.
The house looks beautiful. Great segment, thanks.
Saw it today, loved it and Greta's modern take on it. Lovely look at life, love, pain and real, beautiful look at women.
I’ve been to that house in Concord Massachusetts . It’s great
You forgot June Allison her version of Jo was wonderful.
They showed a lobby card from that version. It also had a couple of incarnations in the Silent Film Era.
Susan West ... wow. I remember. What year was that?
Oh, thank you for this! Alcott’s books are Forever Books!🙋🏼♀️💞🌟❄️🎄
Saw it today. A beautiful, fresh take. Go and see!
how are you going to mention Katharine Hepburn and not June Allyson who was the best Jo March casting decision of all time
Completely agree with you! June is our family's favorite Jo, and this film has been watched by all of us year after year after Thanksgiving for over 4 decades. A classic film!
Winona Ryder is the best Jo of all time....
Winona also.
I love this book and movies thank you so much for everything Louisa May Alcott
Hi the movie was great and i just visited the house this week and feel that the movie was very real ,thanks for sharing ,
Louisa May Alcott, a real pioneer! Little House on the Prairie, TV Series
That house is such perfection.
I loved the new movie! It is totally fresh. I loved the Winona Ryder movie, but this one may even be better...
Wonderful!
I cant wait to see this
God, thank you for being the author and the finisher of my faith. In Jesus name. Amen 🙏

Well, I see this new version, by golly. Season's Greetings ❤
mission accomplished, I want to live in it 💞
I believe the story of Little Women ends in the year of 1868.
There was the golden age of Scarlet Fevers.
is this works of louisa may alcott
Timothee Chalamat is gorgeous ❤️
Ever After author Anna Todd made awful retelling of Little Women called Spring Girls

Did we need, yet, another version? smh
They just did one with Maya Hawke.
That's what I thought... until I saw this one a few hours ago. Then I realized, yes, yes we did need a new version.
As much as I loved Katherine Hepburn, she was never my favorite Jo. She over-acted.
Susan Dey was the best Jo.
Didn't care so much for the newest version Also, not sure why they had Beth as the youngest, in 1949 version, when Amy was the youngest
Abraham Lincoln the 16th President of The United States of America.
American Civil War 1861-1865.
Too bad the new movie wasn't edited better!😞
I don’t think it’s that great of a story. Not sure why it’s endured.
maybe because opinions are subjective and yours is in the minority
SoYoureALiar2 obviously
Is is "possible" that the LIberal Media make too much of being a woman??????
I have never read the book and I can't bring myself to watching the movie! I really don't understand the appeal.
Kristina ... if you don’t want to watch it, that’s fine.

its because you dont know it lol
Kristina you will never understand unless you do!
If you haven’t seen or read it, then it would be very hard to understand...but it truly is to me
It’s a wonderful book and the movie versions are all wonderful.
BORING!
Nobody is forcing you to sit through it. Don't like it? Don't watch it. At any rate, I disagree with you.
you're not accustomed, apparently, to learning how our myriad lives operate. the only thing boring in life, are those who think it is boring.
You know when I watch something I fell is boring .I have the ability to click to something else I dont make stupid comments . This is history .
Boring hsa always been the problem with those men who see stories like this and are not entertained by the women in it.
Am curious as to what "BORING!" refers to: the segment itself, the book LITTLE WOMEN, the movie LITTLE WOMEN, the life of Louisa May Alcott?
