more than a tragedy.

Oh? Is that so? (Pt. 1)

Warning(s): Timothee looking so cute that you might faint. Very short, Im tired

Laurie and you have been friends since we were kids, and yet there was always a strange tension between you two.

“Laurie, can put this necklace on me?”

“Why?”

“A date.”

“Wait. WHAT?!”

“A date, a man shall try to court me and I shall have to either refuse or oblig-“

“I know what a date is. But you never told me that you were going on one!”

“Do you have to know?”

“I do”

“and why is that?”

“Um- I-uh”

Laurie and Amy (2019)

2019 is actually my least favorite version of Little Women, but it's so beautiful. It's still so good, just not my favorite

"Why do you reject love" he asked. "I can't bring myself to accept love because I don't even know how to love myself gently. To be loved... I feel I must first be flawless in the mirror, in the mind, in a room full of strangers, in the quiet corners of my soul. How can I be someone's dream girl if I never feel good enough?" Silence lingered, heavy and unresolved.

The most significant discoveries and best moments of my life have often happened by chance, contrary to popular belief. Whenever I look back, I struggle to pinpoint the exact moment they occurred. These experiences, in some way, altered the course of my life, yet I can’t quite remember how they unfolded. I never actively sought them out; they just simply found me.I’m talking about moments like how I got into reading, how I discovered my love for writing, my first relationship, my current friendship, the experiences that broadened my perspective, and the moments that defined my beliefs.

Little Women Book Review

This book is a masterpiece and I think one of the best books in the entire world.  The book teaches us how to be happy with what we got. The March sisters are happy with their lives. They have the true happiness in their lives because they share literally everything with their family. This book is a periodical drama book. It’s time period was during the civil war in America. The head of the family, ‘Mr. March” joined army. The book represented the family situation during that time. There are four March sisters. They are Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy. Each of them consists of different characteristics. Together they help their mother to overcome their father’s absence and help each other to handle their family works. During this time they also learn how to be theirselves.

The March sisters are some of my most favourite characters of all time. I want to describe their unique characteristics.

1. Meg: Meg is beautiful, fashionable and caring. She cares for her family very much. She is very much respoinsible and protective. The only thing that sometimes disturbs Meg is her obsession with luxury and fashion. Despite that she is always ready to accpet what she has been given.

2. Jo: Jo is damn caring type of girl. She is the heart of the March family. She knows the best of every member of the March family. I personally think that Jo is an icon for the feminist. She loves to read and write. She is very much desperate to hold her family together. Books and family are everything Jo cares about.  She is the kind of girl who wont give up anything easily. She is a strong spirited girl.

3. Beth: Beth is my personal favourite among the March sisters. Beth is the calm and quite one. She has love for music. She loves her family more than anything. She is the most optimistic one. She is shy but whenever she becomes friendly with anyone she would be the best companion to him/her. She is literally ready to give away everything she has for the loved ones.

4. Amy: Amy is the youngest one. She has aspirations for arts and paintings. She is a little bit stubborn like her sister Jo and that is why oftewn they two have little sisters fighting. Amy is very much ambitious to achieve her goal. She is the one who thinks further more than the present. 

However the book gives us many messages about the conditions of the women then. Through Jo March’s character we can learn that girls are not confined within anything. Girls can do anything if they have the real aspirations to that. This book also teaches us that family and the bondage between the family members are what worth living for.  This is the kind of book which everyone should read atleast once in his/her life.

This really is Jo and Laurie's song

Little Women (2019) v. Book: the Timelines

I knew before seeing Little Women (2019) that it was going to have a start in the middle approach, something like Jane Eyre (2011) did. Writer/Director Greta Gerwig said (in “A New Generation of Little Women”, the first special feature on the dvd) that she wanted to feature the characters as adults, that in the second part of the book, the chapters are "the adult answer to what happened in childhood", and the film flashes back and forth to line up the storylines, although in this interview, at 1:50 she describes it as two timelines that are both moving forward.

When is Little Women set?

Published 1868 (Book/Part 1, Chapters 1-23) & 1869 (Book/Part 2, Chapters 24-47)

Civil War took place April 12, 1861 – May 9, 1865

Here's a proposed book timeline for the whole series concerning the Marches.

For my book to movie comparison I watched the dvd with subtitles, and text searched lines in the Ebook on Project Gutenberg. You can also search the text in Apple Books and Kindle (and I assume whatever other ebook formats exist) which also have free editions.

I did not make notes of where changes to character or plot were made, just tracking the movie timelines in comparison to book timeline

Timeline 1 (because that's where the film starts) is the later years (Book Part 2)

Timeline 2 is the earlier years (mostly Book Part 1, but towards the ends it catches up with the beginning of Timeline 1, including content from Book Part 2)

Movie: the dvd "scenes" seem to cut in the middle of story scenes, so I've tried to indicate where there's overlap

People saying we need more complex female characters but could barely handle Gwen Stacy (ATSV), Talia al ghul and Amy March.

Amy March is me, I am her.

Little women ramble

So I was just looking at and consuming a bit of little women media and something hit me. And this is just my own feelings you don't have to agree with me. But I think Amy's will almost always be able to understand Jo's better than Jo's will be able to understand Amy's. Btw I am not claiming one is better than the other. My thing is Amy's look at Jo's a lot, they observe and try to understand them. That is kind of how they show their love for them. Amy's love Jo's so much. That is why Amy's fall in love with Laurie. In this one clip I saw someone was saying something about how jo and Laurie's are each other's halves and because of Amy's love for Jo and Laurie basically being so similar to Jo that's why Amy loved him. And to a good extent I think that is true. So it's this all encompassing love that Amy's have for Jo's that make it so they understand Jo better than Jo can understand Amy.

Ramble 3/?

The moment where it suddenly becomes so clear why you didn't like a character. Why when they did certain things you scowled or cringed or even felt a little pain in your heart. It wasn't just because of the character themselves but because they were you and you were them in too many ways. They displayed the bad you saw in yourself. They showed you all the ugliness you saw in yourself, it hit too close to you. For me it was Amy March. I still remember being in my cinema class one day watching Little women seeing it and not quite liking Amy, she seemed so annoying to me each time she showed up on the screen I thought to myself "Why can I not just like her?". And then it hit me too hard, I almost cried in my class. Amy wasn't the problem, it was me. Amy seemed too much like me. I could understand how she was feeling too well and it hurt. She was and is me. It was sad because I saw what Amy didn't. When Laurie had the talk with Jo it hurt. I knew Amy would be so hurt too, once again he went to Jo and it seemed like he was trying to give Jo another chance and that hurt too much. In the end I began to like Amy a bit more after my realization but each time I see little Women I can't help but tear up. And it just goes to show you can like a character and feel connected to them but it also can go for characters you don't particularly like too. Because sometimes it just hits too close to home.

““Well, I believe we have some power over who we love; it isn’t something that just happens to a person.” “I think the poets might disagree.” “Well, I’m not a poet, I’m just a woman.””

— Amy March, Laurie Laurence
