Thank you for watching! :) - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
which is your pick?
Lady Bird (both still good though)
Lady Bird for me
Lady bird
Little Women for me
lady bird was her breakout movie, it was her voice shouting out to Hollywood. A characters relatability is something truly challenge to get right, and yet she succeeded perfectly. Every setting is so natural, it's the clear winner in my opinion.
I prefer the one where Saoirse Ronan has 2 love interests and moves to New York
i like the one where one of her love interests is played by timothee chalamet
Might fuck around and add Brooklyn to the list
Sorry but this video is about movies that Greta Gerwig and Saoirse Ronan made together.
Well...when you put it that way, there is a common theme to my favorite Saoirse Ronan films. Haha.
Hahahaha good one
I personally prefer the one with Saoirse Ronan.
my favorite is the one with timothée chalamet
This. This is why I love yt commenters

Would you rather fight four bird sized women or one woman sized bird?
So basically fight an ostrich? Or like a penguin or sth?
Nah! Just a mother bird. A flock of birds.
I wouldn’t win against Deandra Reynolds
One woman sized bird
Four bird sized women, even if they outnumber me, i still have the highground
She’s gonna be one of the best Directors in history
With _already_ two stone-cold masterpieces under her belt (by _most_ people's standards, anyways), it's incredibly easy, if not flat-out _obvious_ , to see this coming to pass.
I think the words/phrase I'm looking for is, "Well, duh" or "Of course". 😉
She already is
To me she's basically on the same level as Spielberg
@@fleurpeffer5212 what
@@fleurpeffer5212 she could be eventually, but she does NOT have enough credits to be on his level
Lady bird - it has to be. The mother daughter relationship is impossibly relatable to me, and despite the unrealistic moments of which lady bird has many, it has this authenticity that when I watch it, it feels so undeniably real.
It's also the film that I believe stays the most true to Greta's cultural identity, and the contributions that her upbringing in Sacramento has made in shaping her as both an artist and a human being.
If you liked lady bird, and it’s mother, daughter dynamic, then you should check out The Edge of Seventeen. It’s a bit more cliched and definitely less indie, but I honestly think it’s better than lady bird. It’s incredibly funny, extremely relatable and emotional. And Hailee Seinfeld’s performance trump’s saoirse Ronan’s imo. Kyra Sedgwick is also great, really everyone is great. The direction, all the actors; it’s seriously underrated. Ok that’s all thank you for coming to my ted talk
@@Randome8 I have been meaning to watch that for a while, someone recommended it to me and said pretty much the same thing about it being more of a typical highschool movie but that it's still actually good. I'll have to check it out - thanks.
hannahdobby no problem 😁 if you end up watching it lmk what you think
What unrealistic moments?
"timothee chalamet as laurie is so charming, like no sh*t everybody has a crush on him"
oh karsten, how i absolutely love everything about your videos.
Dude's insufferable

What I really liked about Little Women is the little extra things she adds. Particularly in the scene where Jo talks to Marmee after Amy fell through thin ice and tells her that she needs to control her anger. And at the end Marmee says “there are some natures too noble to curb and too lofty to bend.” I really liked that. She’s basically saying that it’s hard to control our tempers and it’s ok to feel anger at times.
Mackie Lunkey that’s actually in the book!
Madison Moreno actually it’s from a letter Alcott wrote to her mother! The great thing Greta did, I believe, is building up Jo as a fictional character and as Alcott herself as well, thought out adding quotes from her life.
Teresa Tancredi Where did you get it?
@@mackielunkey2205 I remember Greta saying in an interview that Laura Dern found that quote during her research and Greta decided to add it to the screenplay
@@michelab2235 Ah cool!

Although I will agree to that but saoirse Ronan previously had two other Oscar nominations and several other amazing movies lady bird just got a little more hype because Greta gerwig directed its but she was always a really good actor in A lost films
A list films
I only saw Little Women, because my mom made me come with her... but I ended up crying multiple times, and I loved it more than she did.
Aww, me too, my pal and I were going to see "Doolittle", but we decided to watch "Little Women" instead. It was fabulous, made us laugh and cry several times, and we regret nothing! 💜🎊😀
Read the book because you will love it.
Lol this also happened to me 😂
Fable Joey except I had watched Lady Bird before and loved that
@@trinaq Haha yeah I had the chance to see Dolittle too... but I decided to see Little Women again haha!!
I love Little Women. But as Scorsese said, "The most personal is the most creative." That's why Lady Bird wins here.
In almost every one of her interviews about Little Women, Gerwig says that she’s never known a time when she didn’t know who the March sisters were and talks about identifying strongly with Jo. The plight of female artists as illustrated through all four March sisters resonated so much with Gerwig as a female artist herself that she was compelled to adapt it despite its numerous iterations.
Clearly both films are very personal to her, so I don’t think there’s any use in debating which one is more personal when determining a “winner.” Just because Little Women doesn’t incorporate autobiographical elements doesn’t mean it’s any less personal.
I'm a 27 year old male & I don't think there is a film I've ever related too more than I have little women. I don't know if it's the story, childhood - adulthood comparisons, the romance, the warmth, the women themselves. it takes you to a time in your own life where you too were joyous. it's almost a time machine for your own life watching the films & having memories flood from you own past. it's quite a transcendent and beautiful experience in the theaters.
Bro it reminded me of my life too!!!!
Same and I’m 27 too
OMG. You took the words right out of my mouth with this description. Just perfect! I'm Asian and my actual life couldn't be further from the period and setting of this movie but it also reminded me of my sisters and family and childhood and it really takes you back. This movie gave me all the feels! And I'm 43. :)
Absolutely. Even at 22 I related to it so, so much. It transcends the "period film" aspect so well.
I don't know why but it warms my heart to see men love this movie and relate to it. Men around me would never watch it or like it. I'm a woman, by the way.
I believe Lady Bird is the better movie since it’s almost definitely going to end up as one of those cult classic type movies all indie kids talk about to seem underground tbh
But it was popular as fuck wdym
I read this as 'Lady Gaga' and liked your comment as a joke before re-reading
D thats the joke. indie kids thinking popular things are underground to seem cool and edgy.
@@Dawid-wc8sb lady bird is smth og but little women have so many versions and its an old classic, its not that u don't relate to them,its just ladybird moree
“Timmothée Chalamet as Laurie is so charming like no shit everyone had a crush on him”
i agree
_"I am not afraid of storms for I am learning how to sail my ship."_
*~ Louisa May Alcott*
I'm starting to see you everywhere bro
they act like two legends can not coexist
Great Getwig is already an icon and her movies are just going to get better
I know, Emily! Right?!
That's what I cannot get over. Greta is already such a phenomenal director (having directed two masterpieces - in my opinion - out of the...oh yeah, two films she has made) and she's _just_ beginning her career as a filmmaker. Crazy. 😲
We could very well be looking at another Scorsese or Spielberg in 30 - 40 years. 😍
As Saoirse pointed out in a interview, Timothee broke her heart in "Ladybird", while she breaks his two years later in "Little Women"! Coceindence, I think not! 😂
Trina Q I ship them
Lady Bird is one of my favourite movies of all time, period. To me it's a perfect screenplay because it captures the universal experience of being a teenager while focusing on a very unique character
Linnea Karlsson it’s a pretty bad movie doe
@@stefanocravedi3827 really? why do you think so? i fuckin lovEd lady bird
being from sacramento and being a teenage girl struggling with where to go to college when the movie dropped and struggling with a relationship with her mom, I felt as though Lady Bird as a movie was almost made for me. That’s just a personal connection but man.... the first time I watched that movie it was a near out of body experience and I died a little inside in the best way possible
why did i tear up while watching this…
same
lol same
Little Women is amazing. But then again, almost all of the adaptations are. The 1994 is phenomenal as is the PBS miniseries. But the book is the glorious masterpiece. This version clearly took it in a new direction and discussed relevant themes, but Lady Bird felt so near and dear to her heart. It felt completely raw, the story she has always wanted to share. And I think that really shows when comparing the two films.
not a fair fight. there’s four of the little women, and lady bird is just a regular sized high school girl. i expect better content from you karsten.
I think maybe if Lady Bird was given extra prep time and some intel then I could see her pulling it off
But what if you stack all the little women on top of each other??
Asha Kartha but at least lady bird could use her beak to peck them,that’s a strong attack in my opinion
YoloJoeTheBro347 very true, plus she has the power of flight
now these little women, how little are they?
I think Little Women is a "better" film and I still adore it but Lady Bird will always hold such a special place in my heart and is probably my preference 💕
I love both, but I will probably side with "Little Women", as I adored the book, and I really related to each sister, particularly Jo and Beth! 📖💙
i think it is important to remember that greta said throughout recent interviews and panels that little women was THE movie she wanted to make- the one she is most proud of. she had the first screenplay for little women done before she begun lady bird, and she says that she feels the spirit of louisa within her as she grew up with the march family. to me, little women is her best because of the way she adapts the story into something so fresh, universal, and personal to not only herself, but to the new generation of people being introduced to little women. i adore both movies and find greta to be one of my biggest inspirations when it comes to filmmaking. you can see her spirit within every frame, every movement, every line of little women and i feel it applies to me as well in some way. it truly broke my heart when her work on this movie went so unrecognized throughout the award season, but i know to me she made one of the most brilliant, beautiful movies i've ever seen.
I liked Lady Bird but I really don’t understand why everyone is treating it like it’s some groundbreaking piece of art. I’m not saying you can’t emotionally connect with it but the script is filled with the same clichés that every single high school movie has already. Other than the mother-daughter relationship it can hardly be considered an “original” screenplay. I think Little Women is the clear winner for me because of how Gerwig structures the story in a really clever way. Unlike Lady Bird, which has a plethora of disposable plot-device-characters, Little Women only has a small handful of these and they don’t detract from the story at all. Again, I still like LB but I adored LW
MattReviewsThings same
It doesn’t matter how original something is. You can be cliche as hell, but still touch the human soul. LadyBird does that as good as any film like it.
the execution of the said "cliché", buddy
Agree! Plausible!
Agreed. I was entertained watching lady bird ( idk why but the last 7 minutes felt so long to me ) but it wasn’t amazing or a classic or anything to me. I haven’t watched little women yet but I’m excited tbh
your point about the antagonist being the world around the character instead of any character specifically.... wow man. I've been thinking about this so much & you articulated it perfectly
Karsten: I love both Little Women and Lady Bird
Me: and I love your content
And I love you, random citizen.
Little women made me feel so many emotions that I wasn't expecting to feel... the winner for me tbh.
its like little women is a classic whilst lady bird is timeless even though i haven't watched any of them lol
Lady Bird will be classic too, after 100 years from now - my guess....;)
The mother daughter conversations.... I felt like Greta had been stalking and recording little random moments in my life and jotting them down. That’s how personal it felt. I’m not Ladybird, I’ve never been overly rebellious, self assured or forthright with my ambition... but damn do these insecure moments with her mother strike bloody hard!
i think ladybird will age better as people will feel nostalgic to watch it.
As someone from the Sacramento area, Lady Bird hits heavy relatability
After watching both its Ladybird 100%. It reminds me of how Breakfast Club is so iconic by being interesting while only having 6 main characters and one setting. Ladybird could be so potentially boring but at the end of it you feel amazing and connected to her.
i loved little women very very much, but the mere mention of ladybird and im on the brink of tears. i cannot express how much of an impact it had on me and how much i related to everything in ladybird, from the idealistic wish to leave your hometown to her relationshio with her mother, i remember watchin the scene with ladybird asking her mom how much she has to pay her back and being amazed that i had almost exactly the same conversation with my mother word by word. ladybird is so formative for me and it s very hard for me to think of a film that hit me as hard as this one did, so for me, it ll always be ladybird. but little women was also soft and tender and beautiful, and the scene in which Jo tells her mom that she believes women can be so much more than just be in love, but she is so lonely, made me burst into tears with how much emotion i felt towards that.
I stopped this video halfway though and watched Lady Bird for the first time.
It’s so good. So...thank you.
Both of them are in my top 5 of the decade. I’m anticipating her next film, and then I see the words ‘BARBIE’

Lord and Miller made the LEGO Movie great, so who knows?
a lot of ppl felt that way about seeing Little Women was her follow-up to Lady Bird, but she made it work. just trust her
Dat true. Dat true.
Her best movie is coming!!!
'words'
There are scenes in Little Women where I can't help but crying. It just hits so hard, some moments in the film ate the events of my or my sisters' lives so accurate that it's getting ridiculous. But then - Lady Bird. The owner of my heart, my warm blanket and my rest from the world. I probably rewatched it 6 times and every single time I cried in the end. I can't chose. Greta's works feel so close to my heart always

As a girl in high school, I can always count on ladybird to comfort me when I need to feel like I’m not alone in the situation I’m in. I’ve watched it when I was upset about boy troubles, fed up with my dad, feeling trapped in the suburbs and wanting more out of life, or feeling fiery and rebellious, it reminds me “hey, you’re not going through this alone” and it feels very comforting
I haven't seen either. Now I must see both. Right now.
Two of my favourite films ever
*I LITERALLY LOVE LITTLE WOMAN*
I wish I could relate to lady bird more (seeing as I am literally a girl in high school) however I can’t force it. I just didn’t find it as great as everybody else did. Little women however touched me on various levels and I just think with the beautiful cinematography, lighting, script, cast, and costumes it has to be my pick!
the little women cast was *chefs kiss*
i just recently watched ladybird, and when i tell you i couldn't look away- not to sound pretentious, but the ways in which ladybird invites you in and kinda indirectly includes you is just *yes*. i felt like in the short time we had together i had made friends with the characters, and often found myself so encased in the "drama" of it that it literally just took me out of my life. i could see myself in her and to be honest, almost every character. and its definitely not because im a teenage gorl who lives in sacramento lol. and because of this connection, i could really feel what this movie was all about. this movie made me think about it for awhile afterwards, something that very few movies actually do, i felt reflection on both Ladybird's and my own actions and decisions, with it also leaving an aftertaste of contentment somehow bittersweetness. i fucking love this movie, and my dramatic ass analysis aside, you should 10000% watch it because 1) its on netflix right now, and 2) while the meaning and emotions are different for everyone, its still a fucking powerhouse of a movie. go watch ladybird
I am a 26 y/o man and I am not American let alone from Sacramento. But Lady Bird just spoke so much to me and it reminded me of all those good and bad moments from my own teenage years. So even though I love her new take on Little Women and to me the cast was phenomenal and cinematography breathtaking, Lady Bird just hit me on such a personal level it will always remain one of my favorite movies and one which I would keep coming back to in down times.
All your videos are incredibly fascinating to watch, I just wish they were longer! Your passion and knowledge are obvious in the depth you go into. Keep it up!!
I saw Little Women 3 times in 4 days when it came out. During the 3rd watch, I thought "I would totally watch this again."
I was a complete mess after I watched little woman I cried for 2 days no joke... i felt every emotion and related to every sister. I'm having a hard time deciding if and how to pursue my passion and this movie broke me.
this is just amazingly done! you’re so well-spoken
lady bird is probably my all time favorite movie. i relate to it so deeply. almost every aspect of the movie i relate to lady bird. which is kind of sad but also kind of comforting. it’s such an amazing movie with a fantastic story.
yet another beautifully made video. i love both movies but for different reasons, love gerwigs adaptation and then also love her original script too
Lady Bird is no doubt a good movie, but it feels very cliche with its “I have to hang out with the cool kids” subplot. It feels out of place and really hurts the movie for me. I would choose Little Women, just because of what a spectacle it is and how rewatch able it is.
Many teenagers do feel that way though, especially coming from maybe a poorer background and going to school with wealthier kids etc. Everyone wants to fit in and everyone goes through the challenges of finding who you belong with. It might be a story told a thousand times but it will always be relatable to so many of us.
It wasn't specifically about hanging out with the cool kids. Lady Bird always had her own idea of who she was in her head. She hated parts of her real life and her real home, and spent the majority of the movie acting out in ways that expressed how she saw herself, while the conflict was how those actions affected the people around her. The whole movie is based around her exploration of herself and her relationships with the people around her, so I don't understand how this subplot is out of place in any way.
I love Karsten Runquist he's so cool.
you dissected it so well wow. great content!
YES A NEW KARSTEN VIDEO
fabulous vid, cheers mate
Grettas husband Noah Baumbach also creates authentic and wonderful interactions between his characters. Have you seen Marriage Story yet? Wow.
with ladybird I didn't feel like it was over, there was no random scenes that didn't make any sense and it was just so well done
I can't dare pick a favorite but I'm so pumped for everything Greta Gerwig does from now on. In a random interview I heard her say that she'd like to do a horror / thriller and i'm so So SO on board
Wow, that was really well studied. I adore both these movies one reason I can connect with the characters. I love the fact that you could so clearly point that out.
So proud to say I’ve got to see both of these on a big screen 😌🤚 it’s the great Gerwig experience
I really love u channel it really has made want to get more into depth with films!! For this I just want give a 👏👏👍🏽
great video as always karsten
"AND BEFORE YA HEAD OUT"
bloody great video
Little Women wins in my book - I don't know what it is about that movie but I felt so connected to it and got so choked up at the end
You always say all the things I'm thinking. I like this channel
I've been waiting for this video so long! 😍😍😍
Great video! I think that the idea of both movies is the same one: they both are an eulogy for that place we grew up in and that we will always love and miss and even idealize once we leave it. The difference, tho, is that Ladybird only realized she loves her home town - or the memory of it - once she left for New York. In the meanwhile Jo from Little Women always knew that she will miss their home and childhood and being together with her family. She was desperate to keep things as they are and make childhood last a little longer. It seems like Greta Gerwig has a favorite theme and i m really excited to see this theme in other future movies of hers, because it s a very beautiful and authentic one. This is to Gerwig as the theme of the missunderstood introverted weirdo is to Tim Burton (which can be seen in most of his lead characters: Edward from Edward Scissorhands, the corpse bride, Jack skelington, Vincent, Lydia from Beetlejuice etc.) She seems to be a very emotionally inteligent person with a real sense for this kind of experiences. She said once that clishés are valuable if you know how to use them, which is so true. She could make a masterpiece out of any cliché.
P.S. please do a movie analysis on Almost Famous. It's such an underrated movie the many people only look at as if it a a funny comedy to watch when you re bored. But there is so mjch more there, especially the uncut version. It has the same quality of sentimental truth to it.
Now I wanna watch both
Y'all ready for Gerwick's take on Barbie?!?!?!?
I loveeee this channel
Little Women was the only movie I watched in the theatre twice. I watched it with my mom the second time, and we missed the beginning 10 minutes sadly, but she loved it! She normally falls asleep during movies and could care less about them, so it’s high praise that she stayed awake and enjoyed it! I haven’t seen Lady Bird yet but I will watch it on Netflix!
Your review on LB convinced me to watch it. I thought it was going to drag out in it's simplicity but it was interesting to walk in each character's shoes. I would say the one thing that's off here is the time period statement. LB was a time period film of the early 2000s, post 9/11. Some of the dialogue is driven by the invention of cell phones.
The shots in little woman are composed like classic paintings too which adds to this visuals
Jo march has my heart
this was phenomenal
I’m a dude in his 30s but I’m from Sacramento and let me tell you, that is one relatable movie. The part where she’s at the loud party and the guy asks her where she’s from and she replies “Sacramento” and he replies “Did you say San Francisco? That’s a cool city!” And she just rolls with it, very relatable.
My favorite thing to discuss about Lady Bird is the subplot that she was an accident. The entire scene in the gymnasium, the safe sex scene in the bathroom with her mom, how they never planned on living in their home for long, and most importantly that her much older brother was adopted.
this was such a strong argument.
Lady Bird has been my favorite movie ever since I first saw it a few years ago. I can’t count how many times I’ve watched it - I just don’t grow tired of it! Like you said it’s like a warm blanket, it’s a source of comfort for me. Little Women is very comforting as well, but Lady Bird will forever stick with me.
I like the one where the mother-daughter relationship is very heartfelt
I can't help but see this as ten minutes of Karsten crushin under the pretense of film v film
i love Saoirse! Thank u for this😍
Lady Bird easy. Little Women was fantastic, but Lady Bird just hits different in the best way. I watched it 5 times in a week once, and would've been on onboard with watching it again
Karsten, you're an amazing person. I could not get any of the guys in my life to go see Little Women with me. I got a solid no from my brother, father, and four co-workers who say they love movies. I ended up seeing the film with my best friend, my aunt, grandma and mom. Your love of the film and Greta makes me very happy and gives me a sense of hope. Looking forward to your future videos.
Florence Pugh’s monologue about marriage >>>>
it’s like comparing showbiz w absolution. like absolution is a masterpiece. but showbiz gave me authentic pure muse. it was a gateway album
Sustainability is always subjective
Omg I love the fact that you liked Timmothee :))
I don’t how to explain it but when I watch Lady Bird, I’m reminded by how much the small victories in how school meant to me.
this video was great because both are so good i felt like they both deserved too win
THESE ARE MY FAVOURITE MOVIES
literally squealed when i saw this in my subscriptions
Little Women
Family relationships,sisters fights,argues,plays and everybody has flaws.
There was line that hit me hard as I going through this phase 'We are no longer children' or something about growing up
The best thing about little women for me was the change Greta brought while adapting the story(thank you oscar for sreenplay nom and JojoRabbit was also good)Greta changed the story beautiful to connect Jo's life with the writer.Back in the those days when 'Little Women' book was released the book was forced to have 'marriage' at the end.The movie also had marriage at the end but their love story felt less which makes the story better,we question which was true.Jo whishes if life was like a Book and had a happy ending,the story was indeed a fantasy but in real life things are different...
now this is my kinda video
“Feels so alive and full of life” - Karsten 2020
in fairness, that was probably the best year for well directed movies.
You NEED to do a review on “The Room”
thank you
i think your point about how you might not relate to ladybird herself in the future but other characters instead is v interesting because i discussed this film w my dad and he said he definitely felt more of a connection with the parents in this film.personally, i think ladybird is a better film as a whole but little women has more standout scenes
6:54 PERIODT!!
