I loved Greta Gerwig’s version of Little Women, I literally saw it twice back to back in the cinema. There are many reasons why it is a great movie (the structural approach that Greta takes and its fluidity, the fusion of Jo and Louisa herself, the realness of each character), and these reasons have been explained endlessly already, but I was really fascinated by Greta saying in many interviews that to her it’s about being a woman and making art and reconciling that with the need for money and independence. And to me that right there is why Little Women is a great movie: it speaks to everyone on a personal level. To her that is the main theme, and I imagine it’s because it’s relevant to her and to her career and what she is going through right now. I see those themes and I understand them, but to me that is not what the movie is mostly about. To me, it is about growing up, and being in that period of your life when the dreams and hopes you had as a child should start becoming realities, and whether they do or they don’t. It’s about reconciling the person you thought you would become and the person you actually became, and intertwining 1861 and 1868 enhances the vividness of the comparison. It’s about relationships changing, and grieving not only for the relationship itself or for the other person, but for the person you once were when you were with them. It’s about self-doubt, and not knowing whether what you feel you need to contribute to the world is actually valuable, and it’s about making your own way in the world but also wanting to be loved. To me, it’s about all of those things, because this is how I feel right now in my own life. To someone else, who is going through other experiences, it might be about something different. And that’s why this is a movie I can’t wait to watch again as I get older.
no, i’m not watching little women (2019) because i’m anxious about my future and career in a tough industry and wishing that i could feel the warmth and joy and security of my childhood, it’s on netflix now ???

“Every day I lose a little, and feel more sure that I shall never gain it back. It’s like the tide, Jo, when it turns; it goes slowly, but it can’t be stopped.”
Can you imagine who was sobbing and weeping for longer than I would like to admit right after finishing reading that scene? That moment of sisterly communication and acceptance just simply broke my heart . Because yeah, I knew what was coming, even if it was my first time reading “Little Women” (it affected me enough to be unable to read anything else for the rest of the day).
My sweet Beth, so lovely and charming… My favourite March girl from the start. This is how I envisioned her during the book.
Who is your favourite sister? What do you think about Beth?
I SAW LITTLE WOMEN AND I AM IN LOVE
