- Florence Pugh is a revelation. That's the tweet.
I love this movie so much. It's a beautiful story with an incredible cast. And I wanted to watch it again. So I'm doing a reaction/commentary.
Little Women is a 2019 American coming-of-age period drama film written and directed by Greta Gerwig. It is the seventh film adaptation of the 1868 novel of the same name by Louisa May Alcott. It chronicles the lives of the March sisters-Jo, Meg, Amy, and Beth-in Concord, Massachusetts, during the 19th century. It stars an ensemble cast consisting of Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh, Eliza Scanlen, Laura Dern, Timothée Chalamet, Meryl Streep, Tracy Letts, Bob Odenkirk, James Norton, Louis Garrel, and Chris Cooper.

This movie truly made me understand why Laurie belongs with Amy and not Jo. Jo never truly felt a romantic connection with Laurie, she simply confused her desire for companionship with love. Amy truly cared for Laurie in that way, despite her preexisting cynical view of love.
Cause she grew up with only sisters, she loved him as a brother and not necessarily as a boyfriend.
Fun fact: Amy and Laurie’s baby is named Beth Lawrence. When I first heard that I about cried my eyes out!!!💕😭
I did not need to cry like that
@@nicolasguinle5069 oh, you really need to read the following books if you haven't (and this one too, they did beth dirty here). They're amazing!
This title is too relatable
Hahaha thank you!
i feel like Friedrich's character was good for Jo, she's spent her whole life being told she's so amazing to the point where she refuses criticism, and to hear a negative word about her work has her in a frenzy
I completely agree!
Exactly.
in an interview, florence said that “your one beauty 😱” was her favorite line and that she quotes in her daily life😂 she said an example was: her friend was gonna get her legs waxed and flo said “ *gasp* your one beauty!!”
What's interesting about Jo and Friedrich's combo about her stories is that it shows how he is the first person to actually criticize her work knowing that's what she needs to become a better writer. He is being honest, not rude, he knows these stories do not match her talent. She gets mad because someone she likes scrutinizes her work (also Laurie wouldn't have ever done that). Loved your reaction and commentary, you're very lovely!
I actually wrote an essay for my writing class last semester about this film and it’s portrayal of women and femininity, and mainly used Amy and Jo’s monologues as main points.
My lil sis did a book review on it recently. It's really good!
Me too! It was an essay for American lit though so I used the book.
I would love to read your essay!
Oh yes, the movie where Florence Pugh's boyfriend doesn't get burned inside a bear...
Okay no, when I watched the first images of this movie I was really excited for the cast, specially Saiorse Ronan, but I wasn't expecting THIS. I was shocked at the end. Greta did a great job with the structure and the pacing, and I'm in love with that final scene, with the making of the book and that sort of epilogue.
(P.S. Love your reactions! I don't know if you have seen "20th Century Women", but Greta Gerwig is in that movie)
I’m sorry, but I would LITERALLY die for Amy and Florence Pugh.
When the grandfather listens to Beth play which reminds him of his daughter... Gets me EVERY TIME. And Florence got some of the BEST feminist lines in this movie
Great movie! But my historical costume brain is like WHERE ARE THE BONNETS!!!!!!!!!
trueeeeeee
@@thebestofstephx See: Micareh Tewers video on the topic haha, in which she literally rants and then makes an impromptu bonnet.
Love this film, but 1994 definitely was more historically accurate and felt more the era. I think the choices work well for both films, and their unique goals/ takes on the story.
@@Callmekatielee you are a woman after my own heart love all our historical costume women
I love the film but the costumes made me want to just... Scream at the computer
the costumes are just...i mean amy wears ugg boots at one point
The Friedrich scene with Jo (when he is critical with her writing) is necessary for her grown as a character and as a writer
I don't think the criticism over Jo's work was an asshole move of his part. He was honest and he's an foreign, which in itself can complicate communication. She bothered me so much in this scene. I know critics are hard to receive, but if she wasn't willing to hear an honest opinion she shouldn't have asked for it. (She reminds me so much of myself I got annoyed with her most of the time, seriously.)
Yeah, English as a language is hard to make more polite if you're used to be able to just use a polite pronoun and now everything's polite. "U heeft gelijk" vs "je hebt gelijk" in Dutch both mean "you are right", but one uses "U" which is a pronoun for one you want to be polite. I can't do that in English, change one pronoun and be done. You have to add modal verbs and extra sentences, you have to dress up a request with a whole conversation to make it polite. Just let me slap an "U" on it and be done, damnit!
In the books I'm pretty sure he's German, which would have a formal pronoun as well, "Sie". :)
And that's not even talking about how you do critiques in various languages. In English it's all "very interesting, different, I love your enthusiasm" which if someone said that in Dutch they would most definitely mean that positively and there wouldn't be a veiled "this is terrible and I'm being very polite about this" meaning underneath it.
All of that combined with him wanting her to actually be a better writer and not write the sensationalist murder/kidnapping/drama stories that she was selling means he's earnest, honest, and in her eyes not a bit polite about it. 😁
I adore both this version and the 1994 film. To me they both evoke so much emotion, and serve different purposes in their adaptation.
1994 is my childhood storybook version that’s more classic and historical. The 2019’s reconstruction of the plot is the modern adaptation and viewpoint of this story we needed, brilliant emphasizing the emotional beats of the story in a new and poignant way.
I’m so glad to have both Winona Ryder and Saoirse Ronan’s Jo March in my life. And I’m glad to have seen Greta Grewig’s beautiful vision brought to life with such passion.
UGH no words for this perfect movie AND CAST. Florence Pugh has my heart
I grew up with six sisters, so I’ve not only seen the 1994 Little Women a dozen times, I’ve read the book. I agree, this version made me adore Amy. She seemed so flat and underdeveloped in every other version.
just from reading the title, YES and like
Had a bit of crush on Florence since I 1st saw her in Outlaw King. Since then she really blue me away with Midsommar and LW. Now that she is going to be in Black widow, her career is set and hope she'll continue in great roles.
I loved her in Outlaw King!
@@thebestofstephx What I liked about Florence In Outlaw King is how she can take a role that's normally glanced over, such as the loyal wife, and give it more dimension, such her relaxing by the staircase settling in or bonding with Roberts daughter.
I Also liked how we see an arranged between her and king Robert, but both characters do show genuine respect for on another despite being total strangers. Unlike other arrange marriages onscreen like lady Macbeth.
She's actually alot like a young Cattlyn Stark in game of thrones, even resembles her abit.
I agree so hard with this title I can't even begin to explain it
my god, I'm in love with Florence Pugh!
I loved her as Dani in Midsummar
Same like she is INCREDIBLE
Obsessed with this film, glad you reacted to it cause now I want to watch it for the 50th time
You literally say everything I think when I watch this movie
You say you've never met a woman who hates change as much as Jo bc you haven't met me yet 😂 I cried throughout my whole first watch of this movie bc Jo's desire for everything to stay the same hit me harder than any other adaption did. It was like looking into a mirror. It's been a rough few years and this movie reflected things back at me that I wasn't ready to see. It's SO GOOD.
You somehow have all the exact same feelings about this movie as I do. I found myself agreeing with every word you said. I absolutely adore this film and I’m so glad you reacted to it. I just recently found your channel and have been binging all your reaction videos. I can’t wait to see what you watch next! ❤️
I loved your reaction to this movie and now definitely feel like rewatching it.
Omg same! I absolutly LOVE Florence ❤ She is amazing, I adore her and how she portrayed Amy. This movie makes me cry everytime I watch it, it is so well directed and acted ❤
If you loved Eliza Scanlen in this one you should check out Sharp Objects (HBO Show). She's SO GOOD IN IT. Amy Adams is in it too, so... Great acting all around!
I came for the title and the thumbnail. Florence could slap me and I would thank and ask her for more. 😍
I literally just discovered your channel last night and I love your videos! your personality and sense of humor is just so great :)
I never read the book or saw any version before this, although I had a character death spoiled for me (thanks, Friends). But I saw this one in theaters because of the cast, and yeah, it's really good. I've since seen the '94 version and the '33 version; Katharine Hepburn makes for a wonderful Jo as well. I also agree, Saoirse Ronan should have an Oscar by now.
As an attempting writer for a long time NO AMOUNT OF INSTIGATION CAN JUSTIFY BURNING A BOOK
3:56 Paul Atreides and Princess Irulan on sweeter days... 💖
I literally just watched this tonight! I feel like your streaming habits match mine, lol
i do not know why but i watched this movie without thinking it was the novel. the novel was one of my favourites and seeing it was a movie adaptation just... you know it was amazing
for me it's jo and laurie, but i get what you said and greta doing amy and laurie's relationship be there from the beginning was really smart! i love great gerwig and this movie so much!!
My grandparents live in Concord MA. It’s a really nice town. My mom was also born in Lexington
This movie is amazing. If you haven't already seen it persuasion and Mansfield park might be interesting to check out too. Since they have pretty complex subthemes.
I’ve seen a couple versions of Mansfield Park but for whatever reason I still haven’t seen Persuasion yet. I think it’s the only one of Jane Austen’s books I haven’t seen an adaptation of
@@thebestofstephx wow, it is great. I am glad you can see it for the first time. The 2007 version with Sally Hawkins is the best I've seen of it.
this is my favorite one by far also!!! so good
I still don't know why this movie won best costumes.
OMG I WAS DEBATING WATCHING THIS LIKE AN HOUR AGO!!!!
I missed it cause of all the mixed reviews and wanting to read the book first you've convinced me to watch it anyway :-)
as a youngest sibling I relate too much to Amy March 😅
This title is a mood
My favorite movie, my favorite book...
I cried reading and watching ;)
WHO IS DOING IT LIKE FLORENCE PUGH
Another one!!! Damn I can’t believe how many people feel the Jo is lonely scene 😯 I swore it was all about me leaving a nice man who loved me because I preferred women 💁🏽♀️ and then regretted it
this is one of my favorite films of all time
ACK- I JUST WATCHED THIS AHAHAH
Im so READY for this >:)
I was literally about to start watching Little Women and then this came up in my recommended so I had to watch this first and now I'm going to watch Little Women 😂
Thank you so much for watching this!!!
FUN FACT ABOUT ME: My mom and dad give me the little womwen book and I read it before the movie BUT the book was not complete and we did not know and when beth died I was crying in the cinema
I was *just* showing my mom this film. I love it! It's a very fun film, because I also have a sister. And this movie just shows the fun and annoyance of it all xD
In 2019, I saw this movie with my friend, thinking it was gonna be a remake of the 1994 version (which my friend hadn't seen). I was shocked at the storytelling technique that they used and I felt bad for my friend because she was not familiar with the story and the movie expects that you already know the story. So a while later, I showed her the 1994 version and she asked, "Does Laurie make a dramatic entrance in this one?"
I grinned and said, "Oh, YES!"
Burning the book means she burnt the only existing copy of that book. There isn't another version to use. Jo will never get that book back.
That shawl is often called a capelet, or pelerine and you can make them very easily if you can sew, and they also still exist, you can buy them.
So, sitting in hoops is pretty easy, they're flexible, and collapsible, so you can just sit down no issue. Same with going through doors, or past people, the hoops just bend out of the way, or they swing out of the way a little.
The epilogue is more or less the sequel. Jo has a school full of children, they accept all students, adopt a few too. So the other versions end where the book ends, more or less. This version ends with a scene that's basically from a different book. So it's not so much that L.M. Alcott intended her book to end differently, more than this movie adds things from the next book.
Me watching this video not knowing the plot while painting my nails: 🙂💅
The title is very relatable
The intro was great your very beautiful by the way
I disagree about your comment about Meg and her relationship. She was one of the little women. Her part of the story line was just as important as every other sister, whether you like her choices or not.
Laurie and Amy is art
It's iconic when you say we love! Becauss WE love!! Lol
If you think taking off apron is good you should watch a lesbian movie... We have taking gloves off = sexual tension, helping with sharp tooth =sexual tension, look across a full restaurant = true love, soooo many shoulder touches = peak of lesbianism
I don't know if you have seen Amadeus but either way that might be a fun reaction.
I adore this movie.
I'd kill to see you react to Black widow and Hawkeye. Btw I totally adore Flo.
Please watch gravity falls. It is an amazing show
I totally agree about Soairse and Florence.
Really good movie, but was confusing with all the sudden back and forths. Also I think the movie went from the end to the beginning and the middle- ending.😵 13:20 hA Ha!! Amy is my rude lil sister.🙄😂
Have you thought about reacting to the expanse? Or have you already watched it?
I loved beth in every "LIttle Women" movie.
yes.
I’m in this movie!!!!!
Greta Gerwig did something really wonderful with this movie. I honestly can't wait to see her future projects. Same for Florence Pugh, she's definitely a force to be reckoned with!
The thing is the first time I watched this movie I was confused with Laurie's character 😂
I don’t want to buy it, and I can’t find it anywhere on yt😭. Crying in pirate and yt copyrights.
i came here for the name of the video because.... same
You should react to Ladybird!!!
Please watch Attack on Titan!! The story is so expertly written and intense. You’d love it!
I’ve seen the first season but thinking of rewatching it!
i liked the movie but i actually hated the time jumps. it was so confusing. having the same actors for both time lines was really confusing even for me who has read the book. i also think the horrible costuming
I hate some of the line delivery in this version. I like Saoirse Ronan but she was the weakest actress in this movie her delivery of so many scenes just lacked emotion some lines seemed to just be said just for the sake of having them in the movie and just didn't have the same impact as other versions
I loved you reaction, you have a new subscriber ; I liked this movie so much, but i HATED this version of Bhaer !!! , but all the rest is GREAT !!! ;
Timothee Chalamet makes everything better 😂😂
you should do the 2018 little woman it is a more modern day movie
Watch full metal alchemist brotherhood
please please please react to she ra on netflix. its soo good
They're not wearing hoop skirts they're wearing bustle pads and petticoats.
Can you plz react to the 100 🥺
Can u check out cobra kie
i get y'all Amy stans i don't hate her and Florence is FLAWLESS, but Amy is inexcusably bratty towards the first half of the movie.
I’ve only seen bits of the movie but let me tell you Amy and Laurie are not soulmates like- I just personally think for Laurie and jo it was right person wrong time. I’ve never seen the end of the movie so if anyone go married or anything but I like to imagine that jo and Laurie get together but this is all my opinion
florence pugh is one worst actresses ive seen in a long after midsommar no way jose
