LITTLE WOMEN (2019) Behind-the-Scenes Greta Gerwig: Women Making Art

[@clarehiggins5398]

Coming back here after Barbie. Greta is such an inspiration and a sharp creator. You can tell she loves and studies humanity deeply in all her films. I feel she's made many of the movies I was aching to see earlier in life. She deserves all the accolades and more

[@annsdaisyy]

i love her movies so much!! Greta is amazing

[@xrp589baby]

those poor women..they just want the opportunity to be like men(with all the freedom of being conscripted to dying in continental land wars, cleaning/building sewer pipes and cleaning ditches)......we all know however, 99% of men dont actually take on these menial tasks..Men are all KINGS and RICH and we have super easy lives.

[@allegracardamone2181]

Everything from the cast, to the director, to the movie itself is perfect. Just perfect!

[@abbeymaher7639]

100% favourite movie

[@hundredfireify]

The only downside for me, is that the "before" and "after" characters weren't physically different enough. Florence Pugh acting as a 12 year old but looking like a 20 year old was jarring.

[@PikachuGrin]

Saoirse Ronan and Greta Gerwig are such a perfect combination. I hope they make more movies together.

[@Karliene]

I can't wait to see what she does with the Narnia books. If it's anything like her beautiful adaptation of Little Women, it's going to blow us all away.

[@annajackson3882]

Omg I had no idea - this is so exciting! x

[@Lolahahaha11]

wait what?!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would freaking love this so much I hope this is true!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@connorburnett21]

is she going to be tackling those books next??? i hope so.

[@annajackson3882]

This film is just utter perfection. I have to save it up and not watch it too often, because I never want to get bored of it. I love everything about it. Greta Gerwig is a genius.

[@zurzakne-etra7069]

i know!! I cry everytime I watch it!! there's so much about it that's so beautiful

[@annajackson3882]

@@zurzakne-etra7069 so do I!! The first time I saw it i cried so much - at the sad bits of course, but also at just the happy/beautiful moments. Just a perfect film 🥰

Absolutely bloody brilliant movie. Brilliant writing, directing, acting. I’ve never seen anything like it

[@profnanaki5778]

It’s a brilliant adaptation and she definitely lands the plane.

[@brittloyen9962]

urgh, this whole production has my heart

[@jessmagoa]

She was robbed of the Oscar for best director.

[@boburnham6]

so true !!

[@dr.aniasara7038]

I haven't been able to see it, and I look forward to the opportunity. I LOVE the story. Especially as a writer.

[@NorthEndLeader]

i really hope greta comes back to movies like little women and lady bird after the barbie succes. This is where her directing really shines

[@trinaq]

I adore this movie, it definitely deserved the win for Best Costumes!

[@contagiousintelligence5007]

What?! The costumes were horrible, no connection to history whatsoever

[@malinhessedahl]

I love this movie. I love this videos

[@gully8029]

Greta Gerwig is my girl crush ❤ all her films seem so personal and a reflection of different times in her life. She’s so passionate and joyful.

[@aparnamishra6760]

This movie is my favourite

[@tahlyana]

love!!

[@aportgirl]

Greta run with it. Film after film after film. So love your work. Hope you know your self worth, because I know you’re worth more.

I had no idea they wore UGGS during that time period

This is not behind the scenes

[@Kriegtime101]

What’s with this movie!? The women are huge! I was promised little women in the title!

[@ShindigGirl]

I found the time jumping distracting and confusing to the flow of the story. LOVED the costumes! Florence Pugh was too old for the part and sounded like a man who smokes a lot. Loved Saoirse Ronan and Timothy, tho.

[@thomasdequincey5811]

Don't make me laugh. Greta Gerwig is not interested in making art. If she was the very next film she made wouldn't have been a 2 hour long advert for a godforsaken doll.

[@irynadzyubynska3137]

It's a big experimental mess. I recommend the 94 version and the 2018 PBS mini series with Maya Hawke, both already had a strong femminist message and brought the characters to life, and also the 87 anime, Tales Of Little Women.

[@ildikoedit9110]

This movie was such a disappointment. I don't even know how they could screw it up with such a nice cast. The dresses are extraordinary but that's all. Terrible boredom, annoying nonsense.

[@gumyumgirl]

Did you like the book?

[@Abby-hf9sx]

hot take. to each their own I guess! I loved it and thought the scenes with laura dern were the best

[@ruby8372]

Wow you really have nothing better to do than hate on a behind the scenes video from a movie that came out years ago. How embarrassing for you

[@ildikoedit9110]

@@ruby8372 It's not embarassing for me at all :) It's still a bad movie, actually it's one of the worst movies I have ever seen.

[@criticism_is_not_hate]

@@ildikoedit9110 Isn't it funny how people refuse to accept that opinions can be both positive and negative? I completely agree with you, it was awful. The 1994 version is way better, had more heart and depth and it flowed...this movie was trying so hard and felt incomplete. The acting felt so rehearsed too..even Meryl Streep acted as if she was very aware of the fact that she is acting. If all these greats actors came off that way, it means it's the director's fault. Thanks for being one of the very few likeminded individuals in the comment section.

[@criticism_is_not_hate]

She did not do it justice...It was awful compared to the one with Kirsten Dunst, Winona Ryder and Claire Danes.... Had such high hopes, was so excited to see it...and it was incredibly disappointing. Movies these days suck compared to the 90s. Even Meryl Streep can't save movies these days. I don't see why people like Greta's work so much...I find it very incomplete, always missing something...like it's trying too hard and doesn't have a soul or depth. My opinion, I get the right to voice it.

[@lilygarner8463]

What aspect didn’t you like? I think this version was the most complete - it gave ALL the sisters the chance to shine with a storyline rather than just Jo. Jo’s ending might have been “girl gets book” but the other sisters get their happy endings too; and best of all, it’s realistic and timeless because women today can get each of those happy endings as well.

[@clarehiggins5398]

I liked Greta's Little Women better than that version by far. To each their own!

[@criticism_is_not_hate]

@@lilygarner8463 My issue isn't with the storyline to be honest, by all means the intention and passion that Greta went in with it is commendable...what I was missing is depth and warmth that I feel when I watch the 94 version. It was missing the "je ne said quoi" that the older version had. I felt like all the actors in the movie (except for Saorsie) were very aware that they were acting..including Meryl who obv I love. But it felt like a play than a story. Not that dislike plays, but this just felt like many pieces stuck together without fitting right. I like this type of film to feel like reading my favourite book and that's waht the 90s version did for me, whereas this one felt like a chore, I couldn't wait for it to be over and I sort of cringed because of the acting a few times.

[@sparklejpropequeen]

@@criticism_is_not_hate sounds like that "je ne sais quoi" might just be nostalgia lol

[@bellayani6340]

@@sparklejpropequeenI feel like lowkey the 90s one just had really passionate love scenes and bc the 2019 one didn’t focus on that, that’s what’s “missing”

[@ulengrau6357]

This movie was not it, yo. Great attention to detail in the robe department, but man… what a disappointment. Florence Pugh was probably the only outstanding part of this (and only at times), which makes me wonder if Gerwig was the real mismatch for this group of talented actors (minus Chalamet, who can’t act one bit).

[@youtubehandlessuckass]

lol

I have a huge cruse on Greta . And now Barbie. I didn’t really like her as Joe.

Saoirse Ronan played Jo in Little Women. Is that what you meant?
