[@Lenka18s]

I love that you were both visibly disappointed when she rejected Fred. You understood that it was not just she was a malicious gold-digger. she was just a woman whom from the very young age was taught that she has to support her family and this was the only way to do it. The scene when publishers' daughter were the ones that made him interested in the book was based on real life.

[@DwynTwo]

Honestly, even if she was a gold digger, I'd be completely fine with it as this is the 1800's we're talking about. If I was told I wasn't allowed to work just because I'm a woman, I certainly wouldn't marry poor

[@regangrey6386]

"She says the whole book that she doesn't want to marry" - I love the little nod to the fact that the ending of Little Women may not have been the ending that the author (Louisa May Alcott) had originally intended. Little Women was inspired by her own life, and Louisa May Alcott became a famous author and never married. I really like the way they explain it in a uastoday article... By making Jo a stand-in for Alcott, Gerwig reflects the compromises made by many female writers of the time, who were often forced to use male pseudonyms or remain anonymous in order to attract readers. She also, in a sense, is able to course-correct on behalf of Alcott, giving Jo the type of agency her creator always wanted for her. "I just knew I could not do the ending just as the book (did) - especially because Louisa didn’t really want to end it that way," Gerwig told Film Comment magazine. "If we can’t give her an ending she would like, 150 years later, then what have we done? We’ve made no progress."

[@whitenoisereacts]

Yeah, but the romance ending might just be more of a commercial thing than a female thing. That’s a very Hollywood approach. And if there is a romance novel, you want everyone to end up with someone!!

[@gabi0h]

@@whitenoisereacts Regan is referring to the original book which was written in 1868 where it was a romance ending rather the intended ending by the author Alcott that Jo remain unmarried. So not a Hollywood approach! And it was not intended to be a romance novel either; Alcott wrote Little Women very much about herself and her own sisters. I think it ties in well with Amy's speech in the middle of the film about women not being able to earn much money or live independently of marriage. The expectation at that time was that the only happy ending possible for women was marriage and so it predominantly is a female thing that a novel couldn't be written at the time where the female lead didn't get married by the end. Hence why Gerwig wanted the new version to correct Jo's ending.

[@morley364]

@@whitenoisereacts Apparently they made Alcott (the author of the original book) add a marriage for Jo, but the directors knew people would freak out if they strayed too far from the original material by taking it out. So I like they snuck it in by having Jo without a wedding ring, watching her book get published- sort of indicating the last little bit that's book-canonical is not movie-canonical.

[@HuntingViolets]

The readers wanted Jo to marry Laurie (what we in the U.S. read in one volume was originally two books, and still is in the UK), and Alcott didn’t want to, so she created Professor Bhaer. In Jo’s Boys, Nan becomes a doctor and stays single, though.

[@LadyIarConnacht]

@@HuntingViolets I liked the professor for Jo, though, and it wasn't just about the two of them - the whole point was their mutual love of philanthropy in creating a school for boys.

[@jesscee97]

Amy challenged Laurie to be better where Jo was ok with him staying the same. Jo seemed to be upset because she lost her 'backup'. I don't think she ever truly loved Teddy in a romantic way but just didn't want to be alone. She wasn't sad she lost someone romantically but lost someone who needed her. I loved how Amy was depicted in this movie.

[@whitenoisereacts]

Completely agree

[@tanita6234]

Jo being told to marry her female characters it's a hint to the actual writer of the novel being told the same, Jo isn't supposed to marry anyone cause that's just not her thing, she doesn't want it. Great reaction (i haven't finished btw lol)

[@dani010203stor]

i felt that that scene where Jo and Mr.Bhaer get together under the rain is kinda mocking that dude that told Jo he would only publish her novel if the protagonist got married. Specially cause they showed it right after and with Jo laughter. kinda "yeah yeah alright, they will get married, whatever". And i think thats the reason the scene si so over the top and cliché-ish. for me it has a different tone than the rest of the movie has precisely for that

Florence Pugh who played Amy did an amazing job playing a young girl and then an adult women. You can SEE the difference, she moves different, changes the maturity in the way she talks, carries herself with more alliance; but every change she makes, made sense for the character. Honestly she's one of the best actors about nowadays in my option.

[@molly.elizabbeth]

Jo’s monologue about women, loneliness, their worth, etc explained how I’ve always felt. I reject the modern ideology of a relationship, because it’s so expected. Society expects girls to crave a man to love, a child to bare, an a home to clean - so I reject that. However, it is incredibly lonely.

[@tink6225]

the part about being lonely got me. when youre a girl constantly trying to reject stereotypes you kind of romantically isolate yourself, at least in my experience

[@esthercho6249]

@@tink6225 Honestly, I do that too, but I also think what I do is unhealthy. We shouldn't be avoiding stereotypes just to make ourselves more miserable. We need to balance 'being our true selves' and still being independent

[@LadyIarConnacht]

Think about how our brains and bodies have evolved over millennia to care for and manage home life. Extended families were like a whole little society and women are especially equipped to handle that environment. That's why we're lonely when rejecting "stereotypes."

[@biaaraujo472]

Even though the plot is very simple, the movie is amaaazing because of how the characters are complex and real. To me, any movie with nicely written characters will be a great movie. I really love how convincing the movie is because it doesn't over dramatize ou romanticize anything, it makes you really feel things because of how real the situations are. Also the cast peeerfect.

[@annasimpson22]

the part that gets me no matter how many times I watch this, is the ending, watching Jo's book getting published. Because you can tell she's getting choked up about it..because she wrote a book about her, and her family. And she wrote it for someone else, she wrote it for Beth. And that's what makes me cry every time. The whole story we're watching unfold is Jo's book, written for her sister.

[@HuntingViolets]

It’s kind of funny because Alcott hated that book.

[@kristianberg4264]

One, it’s great to see two straight guy’s watching & enjoying a movie such as this, helps make it more acceptable to others (Bravo). Second, I have never seen any of these adaptations myself and I’m a gay man, so thanks for opening my eyes to a terrific movie.

[@lwestpuppy]

I think the things that Laurie was to attracted to in Jo, are highlighted in adult Amy. "She a deeply passionate about something and she wants to be great, so much so that if she isn't up to standards she's willing to quit." That quote applies to both Jo and Amy. Jo is consonantly writing in her novel and little stories, she goes to New York to follow her dreams. Amy was consonantly sketching and painting when she could, she goes to Paris to follow her passion and improve her craft. They parallel each other, Laurie just never noticed her. But when he sees her in Paris she's come into her own, he has an opportunity to see her, really see her not as Jo's little sister, or just a member of her family- he starts to see her as an individual will strong opinions, willing to put him in his place when he's wrong. Jo and Laurie would have never truly worked, have her be head of a household in high society is a task she would resent Laurie for, but Amy flourishes in that environment and pushes Laurie to be better. Amy romanticizes Laurie so much (and always has), she forces Laurie to see himself for who he could be. Jo is too selfish, the only person she romanticizes is herself, and the characters in her stories. Amy is practical and blunt in what she wants, and Laurie and her together compliment each other. Jo and him would just clash.

[@justbeeyourself]

amy is forever my favorite. i think a lot of people miss the huge amount of passion in her because next to a supernova like jo, she appears dim. not to mention her character growth? chef's kiss.

[@emanuellylopes2261]

the most interesting in the movie are the clothes. for example; beth is dressed in lilac and lavander the whole film. Purple is in christianity color of mourming. This indicates Beth's early death. She has her hair open in the movie, this tells us that Beth is a child Who will never grow Up. She never leaves home like her sisters

[@emanuellylopes2261]

@periodcorset explains every detail on her instagram in case someone wants to read it.

[@yikesgina]

When you read the book, she’s described the same way. Beth hurt me the most

[@mlove.1376]

The age differences, especially Beth was well done. I keep in mind, that in older times that children played with dolls until they were into their preteen years or even longer. They didnt have the same kind of responsibilities as children now. Children were allowed to be children much longer than these modern times.

[@ojasvigaude]

Greta Gerwig definitely did a great job directing this. You guys should check out Marriage Story which was directed by her partner Noah Baumbach. It was released same year. And they were strong contenders for best direction category.

[@whitenoisereacts]

Yeah I’ve seen it. Well done

[@ajmalaika1287]

I love the non-linear format and how refreshing it feels for those who already love the series. Especially the ending relationships that many already expecting so you get to see Laurie with Amy more

[@triciamendoza4652]

I recommending watching Becoming Jane, starring Ann Hathaway and James McAvoy, its a bio movie on Jane Austin and her rumored love that gave her the inspiration to write Pride and Prejudice. The movie echos similar shots of the 2005 film to tie together what happens to Jane influences the book, which you can see her writing throughout the film, I think you'll enjoy spotting the similarities in the camera work. It's a great movie and it deepens the appreciation for Pride and Prejudice.

I prefer the 1994 version honestly

[@HeyItsLeePH]

Me too. What I like about this version, it gave a correct depiction of Amy. It wasn't her fault regarding Laurie. The other thing I love about this version is that the way the book was published and they actually used real life circumstances that Alcott had. But still the 1994 would be the best.

[@HuntingViolets]

Me too.

[@paulapatarroyoovalle8261]

I love this movie and book, in the book though the Amy-Laurie relationship is really well developed by letters from wherever Laurie was travelling, and a really cute scene in a lake at a point where they'd actually became a good team and really loved each other💖

[@faithmo5347]

I love the way that this adaptation informs us right away with Laurie and Amy's relationship by starting first with their interaction in Paris. And having Amy mention in the beginning of the film that we know right away that Jo rejected him, so that the audience would drop the expectation between Jo and Laurie. The non-linear editing also help comparing similar memories between their childhood and adulthood. I believe that the second time Jo wanted to accept Laurie's proposal, it was because she didn't want to feel lonely now that they were all grown ups and her childhood was far behind her. She was right about her reasons of rejecting him the first time. She hates elegant society, and even though she wanted to go to Europe with Aunt March, it was clear that the trip was never about site-seeing and traveling. Aunt March wanted to find a wealthy man to marry off Amy in Europe, which was why she never showed any interests in Amy's painting classes. If Jo was the one accompanying Aunt March in Paris, she would've hated the socializing and the balls. I absolutely love this adaptation and it was my favourite version so far, I love Greta Gerwig's screenplay so much. Each version speak to a time of their own little women. And now you guys should really watch Emma 2020!! It came out at the similar time and was a Jane Austen classic too!

It can be a confusing first watch, but a second and third super helps. Another amazing tidbit: The scenes colors change between warmer (the past) and cooler (the present). Once you recognize that subtle shift, I feel like it clarifies the story a lot.

Loved this book as a kid, and this movie is great! A great way to keep track of the time jumps is to look at the colors. In the 'present' day, the tones are cool and blue, and the 'past' is warmer, with the golden memories of their childhood. You can especially see comparison in the scenes where Jo runs down the stairs after Beth is sick, bc it's almost the same shots, but with hugely varying tones.

I wasn’t really a fan of the non chronological order this was told, I found it kind of confusing initially, and I read the book so many times growing up! I understand why the director chose to do it like this, I feel like she had to try something new considering this is like the seventh adaptation of the novel. But your reaction made me appreciate it more, honestly. I absolutely love the cast, I think everyone is so well chosen, particularly Jo and Laurie (I heard somewhere that they try to play the femininity on Laurie’s character and the masculinity on Jo, how he is ‘pretty’ while she is more ‘handsome’ and that works so well). Apparently Luisa May Alcott (the writer) was flooded with letters originally of people who wanted Jo and Laurie to end up together and she absolutely refused to haha.

This is my favorite movie and book, and seeing people who are unfamiliar with the material experience it for the first time is lovely. I really loved the takes y'all had, especially from a male perspective which isn't something you see much with this story.

[@gabrielleduplessis7388]

While the Winona Rider version will always be my favorite, I loved how they portrayed Amy and Laurie’s relationship in this one. It felt like it came straight out of the books. That is what I loved about it. Was not really thrilled with the other storylines because they were done better in other versions.

This is the best reaction video I have watched to date. Thank you! I am a huge fan of the book... and I will admit the first time I saw this film I was disappointed that a portion of the age gap wasn't felt or seen as strongly as it was portrayed in the book (which provided more conflict/discomfort) and the chemistry between Laurie and Jo... It was a huge part of the book for me. Otherwise, this film is golden.

Love seeing you guys react to these types of movies. I would also recommend Emma. (2020) which is an adaptation of a Jane Austen book. This is also the same book the Clueless (1995) was based off of - this would also be a fun reaction if you haven’t seen!!

[@tink6225]

the sheer chaos of living in a house full of sisters is very relatable

[@lolroque]

Once again, I came back to watch this, Oooh so good. Too great of an response!

[@melodyjane97]

I am so happy that you guys reacted to this!! Top 5 for me

[@BeaA.26]

Little Women is my all time favourite book and movie. I've watched the movie (the one from 1994) countless times and even have the DVD. And I've read the book three times. Someone gave it to me on my 12th birthday and since then I always go back to it 😊 Btw, for those that don't know, there are actually 4 books in total and the movie kinda joins the first and second book.

[@rakagaruda5619]

This version is almost confusing if you didn't read the book, but they get the feeling of the story more than the previous movie adaptation.

[@Melissa-wx4lu]

Also to add, if we're gonna go on a Victorian/Regency romance/ drama kick, You gotta see Sense and Sensibility the 1995 version. Also a story by Jane Austen.

[@vvlogs5490]

This is my first video of you guys i’m watching as you randomly came across my feed today. You’ve got yourselves a new subscriber! I like how invested you guys got in the story and i’m really excited to watch your other videos and hear your thoughts on other movies like this!

[@gailjohnston1248]

Just got done watching and I loved how really deep and connected y'all got to this film. 😁 While I like this version, I much prefer and better love the Winona R./Christian B. version. To me it just has a much more....warm - feeling of home vibe. You guys should try that one out sometime...maybe in November during Fall. The acting in it was very good as well. ☺🎥💝

[@jojo4411]

This movie gets me every time… was going through some things when I saw it and it really hit me. I’d love to see more historical film reactions! Open up some more Hero tier slots and I’m sure ppl would do it ;)

[@jessica_yesica]

I know I'm super late but the 1949 version is so good, I recommend it as it has a great cast as well. Elizabeth Taylor plays the part of Amy and Rossano Brazzi plays the part of Professor Bhaer. Peter Lawford (Ocean's 11) and Meg March (Psycho) are also so good in the film. My grandmother and I loved Little Women, so this reaction has me in my feels lol!

[@barbherrera5613]

I own 5 versions of _Little Women_ and the 1949 version is definitely one of the great ones. Initially I said, "Noooo! Not this version!" when I saw they were doing Gerwig's version because it is not chronological and many seem to get lost with the back and forth. Blessedly, our reviewers are smart and caught it in ways too many others missed. By far, my favorite version is the Masterpiece/PBS version (now on Amazon Prime along with other versions). A 4-part series that is filled with nuances the book included. Love, love, love it! Allll that said, thank you both for your open mind to watch a "girl" movie. It really is for so many more than just girls. Thank you! (Someday we will have to discuss Jo's possible sexuality.)

[@melissaisloud7404]

The 90s version of LITTLE WOMEN is the best version. This one is good. The other Winona Ryder version is just so heartfelt and endearing.

[@amarachiukabiala2847]

have i said how much i really love you guys?!

[@clairekane4157]

Louisa May Alcott wrote this to reflect her life. She was an incredible pioneer. Great job you two!!!! Greta Gerwig is an amazing director as well.

[@HuntingViolets]

The publisher asked for a book for girls, and she didn’t want to write it as she said she didn’t know any girls except her sisters.

[@natl5692]

I feel so close to Jo Because you love some people with all your heart You're just not in love and you know you'll just hurt the other person

[@Bellixies]

Gosh... I love your channel, great job boys!

[@MIGHTYM4RS]

ooo watch emma ! 🙌🏽 i havent seen this version of little women but i have a clear memory of never finishing the book after trying like…5 times

[@padaoamandacha8036]

Omg, I love your reactions to this film. Thank you! You all have to react to Lovely Bones please. Its such a great movie.

[@AussieDaydreamerEllen]

Loving your content! I'm a new subscriber, I found you with the Pride and Prejudice reaction, and just watched The Hunger Games films and your Enchanted reaction. You guys are helping me with all my cooking and ironing today. 🤣 I'm so loving listening to your reactions while I get shit done. On a funny note though I find it hilarious when you say things like "it has such-and-such actor in this, but you won't know who they are" because you are young and they are "older" actors and it makes me feel old haha. I know them very well. 🤣 You've done said it in a few reactions now haha! I'm just 40 and have young children but I would be old to you two being double your age. Just made me chuckle and realise I am now the older generation. 🤣🤣🤣 Loving your insightful and considered reactions, thank you guys! Keep up the great work. 👏

[@whitenoisereacts]

Well I’m glad we could keep you company!!

[@luiscadena7160]

You guys should watch the netflix trilogy called Fear Street. It’s based on the books written by R.L. Stine, the guy who made goosebumps. It is basically an adult horror version of goosebumps and to my surprise i loved it more than I thought i would. I highly recommend!

[@oliviacooley1195]

The girl who played Amy is Florence Pugh who was Natshas sister in Black Widow and the main character in Midsommar

[@whitenoisereacts]

Yeah

[@user-dl5zl5ph6q]

Please react to the 1994 version of Little Women! I really like this new version, but I absolutely love the older version, it's one of my favorite movies!

[@ojasvigaude]

Thank you for doing this reaction. Reaction is amazing as always. 😀

[@sarahmoller7308]

THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY DAY 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 And thank you for being such amazing, entertaining, insightful men.

[@JamieLeaFL]

Love seeing you two react to this film. The 1994 film is told chronically. I think it would be more straight forward, but just as good to watch. Kudos to you both!

[@philosynfonie7307]

This movie is fascinating for me. I first saw the older adapttion with Winona Ryder as Jo and it is to this day one of my all time favourite movies. In that one they structured the plot chronologically moving forward, (with a young Amy played by an incredible young Kirsten Dunst), which made me much more invested in Beth and thus makes me cry at her death scene every time (It also makes me feel more easily forgiving towards Amy for burning the book, since that scene is played by a literal child). That movie also made me more invested in Jo + Laurie as a pairing and even in Jo + Freddy, but left me feeling very cold towards Laurie + Amy since the actor of Laurie and adult!Amy only share very few scenes. Here I feel like they absolutely had more chemistry and Laurie and Jo had a beautiful encapsulation of dearest friends but not made to be in love. Also, I did cry in this movie, but not at all at the same scenes. I cried here when the father came home, the actors face and mannerisms somehow reminded me of my grandfather, who passed away last year after many years of being hardly reponsive. It reminded me of the quality he had when he was still full of life. All in all, I quite like this movie and I am happy that this version was made, though the other adaptation will probably remain my favourite for reasons of nostalgia and crying. I'll probably still watch this adaptation from time to time, all the actors did a wonderful job. I still recommend maybe watching the 1994 version sometime, just to compare... might be fun.

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thanks, Ninetailedbrush! Thanks, James! 🗝️ This version is excellent (told non-linearly, most are told linearly as was the novel)... but, as you noted the Christian Bale one made in 1994, is worth a comparison. ✍🏼 As for this 2019 rendition, Greta Gerwig's screenwriting and direction are so skilled, whenever I hear Beethoven's "Pathétique" my eyes well with tears, thinking of the premature loss of sweet 'Amy March'. 🎹

[@znovy7]

Yayy I’m glad you guys reacted to this :))

[@marianne5055]

If you're doing more of these types of films then you gotta do the 1993 Sense and Sensibility. Emma Thompson won an oscar for screenplay for that. Not a rom-com but The Crucible (1996) would be good too. Its based of a play by Arthur Miller. And Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) is amazing for aesthetics. Also Interview with the Vampire. Last two are more gothic. But still, if you're looking for more old fashioned vibes.

[@HuntingViolets]

I do a pretend thing with The Crucible and The Age of Innocence. I imagine that the characters in AOI are reincarnations of the characters in TC.

[@delia1985]

I love that you both loved this film. No regrets subscribing.
