Thank you Brian so much for this reaction! It’s been hard times still but this has made me smile today and that is a start💖
Timothée Chamalmet is 28. He’s older than Florence Pugh.
I LOVE the scene where Amy explains her position to Laurie. I think it’s when he finally starts seeing her, and realising how he feels about her.
And the fact that the speech wasn’t even in the script, but Meryl Streep said there needed to be something in the film that explains how powerless women were back then. The speech was written and given to Florence on a scrap of paper 20 mins before shooting started. And she nailed it. She for sure was the best part of this movie for me. She deserved her oscar nomination for this role.
They are only couple weeks/days apart. He from december 1995, she from januari 1996
@@cmo6055 still older 🤷🏼
@@Drummer4President Yeah, true! 😀
If you want to see Emma in a totally different role try “The Perks of being a Wallflower” it’s excellent with a twist
came here to say this, but you've long beat me to it. It's an excellent film,
Enough time passed that I don't remember much of that movie anymore, which is great because I can watch it again as if for the first time. Too bad I can't do that with movies like Almost Famous, because I watched that so many times, I know all the lines by heart like a poem 😂
Omg yes the perks of being a wallflower is a masterpiece. Favourite film along with little women for sure
The scene with Jo and Laurie on the hilltop is heartbreaking
There are 3 distinct time lines in the film- young/middle years/ ‘present’- each timeline has a specific coloring to tell you what is happening. When Beth dies- she is sick when she is younger but gets better, older Beth dies(her heart was infected from the illness when she was younger), Amy and Laurie are romantically together when they are older, jo and Laurie were when they were younger. The dad is a soldier in the union army during the civil war which is why he wasn’t home- he was fighting. Each character had to learn a lesson and grow in their own way and we see how each one learns their lesson through the different time lines.
yes, it’s based on a classic novel! there have been movie adaptations in 1917, 1918, 1933, 1949, 1994, 2018, and this one in 2019! it’s also been adapted into tv shows and live theatre/musicals many times.
one of my favourite parts of this adaptation is the way the ending plays with the real life events of the writing and publishing of the book - jo is kind of a reflection of the author (louisa may alcott)’s own self and alcott didn’t want to have jo get married but was convinced to in order to sell the book. meanwhile irl alcott herself never married. the movie sort of gives you both options and you can pick your own interpretation.
I prefer the version where she's married, not because of the marriage but because she seemed happier. In real life the author didn't exactly have a blast, she was pretty lonely, sick, and relatively poor for most of her life :( I wish she had a better life, she deserved it.
"Bro, who do you want??... maybe he's just The Friend in this group. ...Yeah, homie got problems" 😂😂😂 Such an accurate portrayal of Laurie!
Yes, Little Women is a famous novel. It's a marvelous book. I do recommend the Wynona Rider/Christian Bale (yeah, batman) movie version as well. It's a little more straightforward and classical. Both have a lot to bring to this story, but I feel like you need to watch the other version to understand the story a little better.
Agreed. This movie was great, but the bumbling use of a nonlinear narrative can be very confusing for the viewer who is unfamiliar with the story.
Yes, the with Wynona Rider is good.
Jo sold her hair to pay for train tickets for her mother.
Yep. She willingly let them cut her hair but its still a sacrifice that hurt.
The 90s version is my favorite and I read the book too! Wynona Ryder did an awesome time!
I love the 94 version so much!
"They got teachers out here hitting people?" Oh yes, my dad tells a story of watching a teacher throw a kid out a window (on the ground floor thankfully). So yeah, teachers used to be able to do whatever they wanted. And smacking hands with a ruler was pretty common.
Then you got another beating when you got home and your parents found out you’d gotten in trouble at school
I mean, their dad is off volunteering as a chaplain in the Civil War, so it is not like it was a time period known for treating people humanely.
This movie is based on a book from the 18th century. Back when this book was written the character Jo was breaking a lot of gender norms by not wanting to get married, wanting to be the breadwinner of the family and be financially independent. The author made the main character Jo get married at the end because otherwise the book would not be successful in the 18th century and would have gotten criticized.
Florence made this movie for me, although everyone was amazing. I think the traditionalist setting of getting married isn’t about a humans wants or no- marriage is more about finding your place (as humans aren’t meant to be alone) not in the sense of “stay in your Lane” but more so “find who you want to be with and experience life with, eventually” and who you’ll work with towards something as building a family or home- with someone who’s your other half. Who you’ll be devoted to (people see devotion as a bad thing these days) Pushing something on someone is never right though it all needs to be of one’s own choice. A great movie with good points
In real life, Florence Pugh (Amy) is British, she has a pretty standard British English accent
The first version I ever saw was with Katherine Hepburn and has always been my favorite, but i feel each rendition offers something that the others don't. I like them all for different reasons, and the book makes me cry every time i read it. Great reaction!
Definitely recommend the 1994 version. It's so worth it and much easier to follow, it doesn't jump back and forth between the past and the present. The cast is brilliant as well 😏
you should of watch the 1994 version of Little Women with Winona Ryder, Kristen Dunst, Christan Bale, Susan Sarandon, Clare Danes, and more.
28:31 There was a lot of racism at that time from whites not just directed at blacks. Italians, Irish, and Chinese were also sneered at and thought to be lesser humans.
The source novel was semi autobiographical. You can visit the actual house that the author, Louisa May Alcott, grew up in with her sisters in Massachusetts. You can see Amy’s drawings on the walls of a few of the rooms.
I didnt know they had a historical house there omg thank you
The family in the original book lived in Massachusetts (where Louisa May Alcott lived -- I've been to Orchard House) The war was the Civil War. I have not seen this movie version so not sure where it's supposed to take place. The 1990's version actually has exterior footage of Orchard House and exteriors of areas of Massachusetts although the movie was filmed in Canada. The big party scene in that version was filmed in a museum that I toured in Victoria, British Columbia. Recognized it as soon as I saw it! Craigdurrough (sp?) Castle -- I'll never forget the beautiful wooden walls in the entryway.
When Jo is told that the women in her stories have to be married or dead by the end it's sort of a nod to the author of the book who had the same restrictions put on her when they made her write the book. Louisa May Alcott didn't want to write Little Women but her publisher pushed her to write it as a moral guide for little women!
The father is away fighting in a war. You will see him later in the movie. If you are not familiar with the story of Little Women, I would suggest you watch the 1993 version with Winona Ryder as Jo. It tells the story in a more streamlined way, rather than bouncing around to different moments. It is an excellent story though. I see Jo as a personal hero of mine.
The other version (with Winona Ryder) is also really amazing, and that one is liniar, doesn't jump from present to the past, so it's easier to follow the events. I saw that one first back in the 90s and I think if I would have seen the new one first without knowing the story, I would have been very confused, so I totally recommend the one from the 90s as well. It's so sad that the author wrote this wholesome book but in real life she never found love and she had a pretty hard and lonesome life, with sickness and relative poverty, where her sister Abigail had to help her out with money (I read her diaries). They also moved a lot so they had a nice family, but not a family home, as they moved at least once a year growing up. But her sister Abigail, who inspired the character of Amy, became an art teacher and she had as a student this boy (Daniel Chester French) who because of her encouragement pursued art and became a sculptor and he's the one who sculpted the Lincoln statue from the famous Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC (and a bunch of other monumental statues around the US. The story goes something like she saw him play with dirt when he was a kid, and making a mess, and while other teachers yelled at him for it, she saw potential and taught him to make clay models and told him he could become an artist with practice. I just love how women have more influence in people's lives than they're given credit for, and that's all without swords and guns and cruelty. Kindness too can change lives.
I love this adaptation so much but it’s really hard for people who are not already familiar with the story to follow along because it was shot out of order. The 1994 version is the best adaptation that’s actually in chronological order so it’s easier to understand. I REALLY hope you give that one a shot too on the channel!! It’ll make a lot more sense and it’s also very good.
There are 2 timelines plus Jo talking to the editor. The older “memories” timeline uses a warmer light filter. The future or present uses a cooler light filter.
The 90's version of this film is also so beautiful. This is good too-a worthy follow up on a well known story. You should react to Empire Records if you want a full on 90's movie of yesteryear.
In my opinion, I think the 1984 version was on another level of sadness compared to the remake (which i also love) and i think that is because of the dialogue during Beth's death like "I know I will be homesick for you even in heaven" Like hello?
1994*
Love is not something we can control, we don’t wake up one day and decide to love or not love someone, you loving someone takes times to build or is an instant attraction, you dint decide who you love
The 90's version with Christian Bale and Wynona Ryder is my favorite.
💯
There’s a 90’s version of this movie with Christian Bale and Winona Ryder? That’s crazy
This. I watched it constantly as a child
Agreed, one of my favourite films
@@avengersfan949The ‘94 version is far superior to this one. It sticks to the book and is linear in time so it’s easier to follow. Although I love Soirse as Jo.
Watched this is the cinema with no knowledge of what it was about!
I loved it so much that I checked out the book from the library!
So many great cast was in this! Just didn’t recognise meryl Streep though!
Great reaction ❤
Saoirse Ronan has been in tons of movies, you might recongnize her from The Lovely Bones, Mary Queen of Scots or Lady Bird, for which she won a Golden Globe.
I believe you were referring to Midsommar starring Florence Pugh. I definitely recommend you watch it, it’s a great film actually I’d like to see both you and your wife’s reaction to the movie.
She was also in Don't Worry Darling which was creepy and weird but not horror.
I might check it out!
One of my all time favorite movies! There are only 2 timelines. Past and present. Each timeline only moves forward so eventually the past timeline begins to merge with where the present timeline began. The movie jumps between past and present to parallel the girls ideals and aspirations and how they deal with these things with the interuption of adulthood
1994 is the best one
There’s actually about 4-5 more adaptations apart from this one, I think it’s 3 other movies and 2 short series too. But I think the most popular ones are the 1994 with Winona Ryder, Christian Bale and Kirsten Dunst and this one, 2019.
I Love This Story I have seen the other versions and Truly Loved them. I have never seen this version just wanted to see your reaction to the story. Will definetly watch this one in full. Continued Blessings!!! 💜💜💜💜
"put your hands on his ass" Sir 🤣🤣 LOOOL
I remember reading this book so many times when I was little. I am also one of four sisters and we were so much like these little women. Being the youngest I could not stand Amy and hated that I had to be her when we role played, but this version showed me just how much I really am like her. Maybe I'm more mature now and can better see the similarities. The book is such a classic. The movie version I grew up with had a young Christian Bale as Laurie and boy did I swoon over him, but this version was really good too.
This is a very nice version of the story but the 90s movie is a classic.
This was a really nice change of pace. Great reaction ❤
As a very independent minded 21st century young woman I absolutely love jos speech in the end. It hits different
The 90s one is worth a watch.
The 1994 version of Little Women is good. It has some A list people in it. Susan Sarandon, Wyona Ryder, Kirsten Dunst, Christian Bale,
Yes that’s Timothee Chalomet. And yes he does play the new Wonka.
I'm glad I found this reaction video. I love your outlook on life and your reaction proves that art in any form can change our lives. I'm subscribing to your channel. Thanks for sharing.
Jumping back and forth in time kind of confuses this story, and I kind of wish they'd done what they did in the 90s version and cast a younger actress as young Amy - because she's like 12 in the flashback scenes, but I still love this movie. Florence did amazing passing off the aging of the character, and the chemistry between her and Laurie as adults is the one thing I 100% prefer over the 90s version.
In the earliest flashbacks they are 16 (Meg), 15 (Jo), 13 (Beth), and 12 (Amy).
It shows them over long period of time, like 15 years! Meg marries John at 21, has her twins at 22, Jo leaves for the city after she turns 21, but comes back to visit various points. Rejects Laurie at 22, leaves again. Beth gets sick initially at 15 or 16 I think, then the illness comes back, they go to the sea when she's 19, she's sick for several years and dies at 23 in the novel. Amy leaves for Europe at 18, gets engaged to Laurie at 20.
There's a rant in the 1994 version that Laurie has, that's dickish but I think accurate - Laurie has jealousy issues with any man associated with the March girls. Lol.
You have to watch the Winona Ryder version as well.
This is actually based off a classic novel that was published in 1868-69! The novel is also based on events that happened in the authors life, just like Joan’s novel at the end of the movie :)
Love your reaction, but I grew up on the 1995 version, and to this day, it's still my favorite. You should definitely give it a watch.
The 1994 one is easier to follow.
Timothee Chalamet (Laurie's actor) is currently 28, so I guess he was probably 23-24 when this filmed?
Very popular opinion but the hilltop scene is my favourite! The cinematography, the emotion 😙👌
Can't believe you're finally doing this movie, it fells like a Christmas present, so thank you very much. Watching it will be a nice ending to a pretty bad day. (haven't finished watching the reaction yet, but I was too excited to write a thank you comment :)) )
I definitely recommend you react to the original little women with Wynona Ryder, Christian Bale and Kirsten Dunst. It’s really the best. The acting in that one makes this acting look like a lifetime movie.
Thanks, Brian! ✍ All hail to director Greta Gerwig. You might want to compare this one to the 1994 version.
Lowkey funny how hyped you were to watch Emma Watson in this when, performance-wise, she gets absolutely stepped on by Saoirse Ronan and Florence Pugh 💀💀💀
The version with Winona Ryder and Claire Danes is leagues above this one!!!!!!
This version is so hollow compared to the 1994 one with Winona Ryder. You really don't get the sense of family and ambition in this one, except somewhat through Amy.
For me the time period jumps get easier to notice when looking at the overall color pallets.
The original movie is s a classic bro. I wish you would of reacted to that one because it was one of my favorite movies from childhood. I haven't seen it in over 15 years, but it's definitely an amazing movie. I am not sure about this one. But hope it's still decent good
Great review. Time for Dune and Dune Part 2. Also The Pianist, Best Picture 2002.
I'm so happy to see someone react to this gem of a movie!
Seriously Sir, I think you should watch Whisper of The Heart. I used to write a lot too, but I lost the passion for a while. But when I watched this one, I'm gonna be honest with you, I cried during the whole movie. It helped me to understand myself a little bit, and It's Ghibli movie, there is not best way to discovery life than watching a Ghibli movie.
I’ve done a couple Ghibli movies on channel! And some other anime movies as well.. They are indeed amazing 🔥 favorite is Howls moving castle!
Great reaction!! It's based on a novel - it's a really good book. I love this movie! I grew up with the 90s Winona Rider version, but I think I like this one more now, I love how they jump between different timelines and Amy is much better. The 90s version is linear and Amy is obnoxious in it. 😂
The ‘94 version sticks to the book and the new one wanders off quite a bit. Also the earlier version tells Beth’s story so much better, is much sadder. And in the book Amy was awful which is why they played her that way. The only thing I prefer about the new version is Soirse being Jo. She nailed it.
@lauriebriggs9705 oh yeah I forgot how awful Amy was in the book. I haven't read it since I was 15. I never reread books but maybe I'll read it again.
Awesome reaction of my favorite movie!!!!😊😊😊😊😊
Enjoyed your reaction! My favorite version of this is the one from 1949 with Elizabeth Taylor playing Amy. This one is pretty good though. So is the 90s version.
I love Amy and Laurie together and I really love them in the books. For me Jo and Laurie are soulmates but Amy and Laurie are meant to be together
If you haven't already, please react to Pride & Prejudice 😊
Yes!! The 2005 Keira Knightley Pride & Prejudice is my favorite movie! 🎉
I will be watching that down the line!
@@mrflickswatches looking forward to it😊
The original little women stars the Winona Rider
I really like your comments during the movies, but I suggest you pause the movie when you're talking. You end up missing a lot of important information and don't quite understand what's going on. Anyway, I hope you react to the movie The Perks of Being a Wallflower to see more of Emma Watson :)
If you like Saoirse Ronan you should check out one of the first films I ever saw her in, City of Ember. Its such a cool story and has a nice steampunk vibe to it
this mom is the goat
Indeed ✔️
Yes we all love emma this is set in America just to let you know. Emma watson was in noah the bling ring my week with Marilyn and lots more.
Jo cut her hair to pay for her mother's train ticket. Women at this time never had short hair. it was a big deal. In Jo's case, it's an especially big sacrifice because (at least in the book) she's presented as a fiery, smart young woman who is not particularly attractive, except she has beautiful hair.
I prefer the oldest version. The main actress is from The host (movie inspired in the novel of the same name by Stephanie Meier, also the writer of twilight)
I hope you understood the bule background is PRESENT and YELLOW/RED background is PAST ❤❤
I love Emma’s American accent in this movie
You should watch bling ring. Emma plays a very different character there
Marriage/relationships can work out. But a lot of times they don't. When they don't, both people involved play a part. You need to compromise, communicate and be forgiving in a relationship. Be able to put yourself second from time to time and sometimes swallow your pride. Be able to trust and be trustworthy. Be loving and allow yourself to be loved. It is hard work, but can pay off! I am 25 years with my man, married for 15 years, but the relationship is what counts to me, not the marriage (certificate) per se.
If you dont put the work in it or your partner doesnt, the relationship probably wont make it, which is painful, but also a learning experience and not something to be ashamed of. Take time to grief and keep believing in love
Watch 1994's version
I wanna see young Wonka and new Flash in a fist fight
Who is the strongest boy made of saltines and scotch tape?
Oh I loved this reaction! I also just watched this movie for the first time last week but I do prefer the 90s version, although love most of this new casting! I just wish they didn’t cast Amy as the same actress between the flashbacks - kinda ruined it a bit for me, since in the 90s version Amy is played by two separate actresses. I did love the ending of this new movie though.
Also, in the same vein the original Anne of Green Gables movies (with Megan Follows) is the same vibe as this and the love story (throughout 3 movies) grows to be exceptional!
This is the absolute BEST version of the all the versions!!!!
This one is lovely but I really do love the 1994 version ❤
any little women piece of media, movie, tv series, i will consume.
You missed so much of this but glad you had a good time lol
I like Emma Watson but Florence Pugh ( amy) is the real goat she’s perfect
Lol i thought you were talking about Saoirse Ronan in the beginning
I read this book when I was I was a girl over and over over again. I identified with Jo completely. Louisa May Alcott, the author of Little Women never married.
Parts of the movie were anachronistic. It was more feminist than the book. Some of the dialogue was out of place for the period. You’re treating this movie as if it was talking place today.
Harry Potter IS life
The 90s version is still soo much better. Not saying this isnt a great version... But if you want the best of the best of this story, watch the 90s version
Watch 'Bling Ring'
Although your speech about women doing what they want and not being beholden to serving men is wonderful, it's not nearly as necessary these days as it was in the mid-19th century when this book was written. Women were ONLY expected to be wives and mothers and being anything else was considered unacceptable, if not downright scandalous by society as a whole. This book was feminist in the extreme in its ideas when it was published, almost to the point of being shocking. It was even considered improper for a woman to be an author! Louisa May Alcott was forced by her publisher to marry off Jo, her heroine, just as the character is made to in the story.
I❤ This Book & This Version Of The Movie! Florence Pugh Is English Like Emma Wason The Girl Who Played Hermione In Harry Potter! I❤ The Fighting With My Family Movie Also That Wrestling YouMentioned.The Dad Is In The War.
If you want more emma content, and also a really good movie suggestion (in my op). Check out perks of being a wallflower!
Yes!! Love this movie
What do you write? I'm at the same crossroads of wondering whether or not it's something I want to keep doing. I'm in the WGA, worked with Chris Tucker (I'm his first platonic female friend), Jamie Foxx (lived with him for bits of time in a working capacity). Something about what I see in your spirit is cool to me.
That’s so cool! I’m trying to be an actor! Put in a word for me lol
I say keep going, life’s too short to give up something you love no matter what it is🤞🏽
I write stories, poems and I’m a songwriter.. just whatever I feel at the time !
@@mrflickswatches I grew up in and around the industry (Richard Pryor was in my house when I was 10 - that's a story with two interesting chapters 15 years apart lol). I was just wondering about what kinds of stories you might want to tell. I really don't care about the acting side of things (sets are horribly boring to me).
EDIT: Chris doesn't like sets much either; that's why he hasn't made a lot of movies.
i loveeeeee louis garrel!!!!!!!
I've known more people with OK or good marriages than bad, but I don't really want to get married myself. My dream is actually to have a house to myself.
I love this movie and I love your reactions! But weird you wanted us to rank women’s looks tho- like we are adults now and that feels pretty gross
Could you or you and the Mrs watch ' *It* *Takes* *Two* ' (1995) 🙏
