Thank you for this incredible review. There is no other way, i will have to do make a better version than these 3 😂

Very nice. I too collect Folio, Easton, Franklin. When I downsized to my condo these stayed in the collection!

All of James Ivory's screenplays are beautifully written and very relatable.

Wth so we not gonna start off with the fact she was 14years old he should have been locked up n music should have been shelved smh I don’t get how we pick n choose. N that’s y they didn’t cast a older guy

I have read all 4 books in the Practical Magic saga. I agree, the 1st book (I mean 1st published, not the order of events) could have been soooo much more. Not a bad book, but SO different from the movie and other books. My least favorite. On the other side, the movie is a master piece. I have the feeling that the author saw how the public received the movie and changed her way of telling the story. Even the way she writes after that is completely different, almost like another person. The other 3 books are way better, I think you'll like them. The precuel is good. It is more historical fiction and has witchcraft. Then comes the book about the lives of the aunts, the Rules of Magic. This one is by far my favorite. It broke me. It is so heartwarming and yet so sad. Grab the tissues! Then, the last book, which would come after the movie... It felt a little rushed. It is more on the adventure side. But it was fun.

It’s sooo good I wanna read the book soo bad 😂 I read silo books after season 1 couldn’t help it

It's supposed to say "young Amy" not "going Amy" lol

sca is super fun tho

I grew up with the 1949 version and LOVE it!

The sheriff knitting is funny but not necessarily random. Mort is in and out of consciousness. Like the in and out of the needle point of a sewn piece the sheriff is also in and out of being competent.

I could say a lot, but really the most important thing I can add is you twice refer to Peter Lawford as Peter Lorre (Laurie) and understandable slip of the tongue. But now I can't unsee Peter Lorre in the role of Laurie. What a far different and unusual movie that would be.

And there even is an animation series based on the book. Just needed to leave this here for nostalgia reasons. I watched this as a child but I can’t remember if it was good.

Laura I had that exact opinion about young Amy in the 2019 version...she just didn't look young enough and the acting came across as forced because of it. What a great job you did with this! I don't know how you keep it all straight!!! Loved it. It's difficult for me to choose between the two movies. There are elements to both which I love - but the film score in the 94 version is just so beautiful and immersive. I feel transported a little more in '94 than in 2019. Also that opening scene just gets me, and the transition with Jo on the stairs from Part 1 to Part 2. I just love movie music. I almost always predict Oscar winners based on score actually! That is so cool that you are related! Well done with this! Brava!!!

Why is the 94 version so iconic?!

I can't wait to watch this later after dinner!! Always lovely to have your chat to look forward to!

It’s the 1994 film for me, didn’t care about the non-linear structure of the 2019 film. I felt more emotionally attached watching the girls together and their relationships in the first half and seeing it contrast in the second half when they go their separate ways. Also I love cast the most, Winona Ryder and Kirsten Dunst were perfect but also the incredibly underrated Trini Alvarado as Meg.

14:25 Pretty sure in the sequel "Little Men" Bhear does mention how he likes the stories Jo tells the boys and how she should try to get them published. I'd have to reread Little women (both parts) and Little Men but Im pretty sure its mentioned.

I would probably recommend recommending both versions 1994 and the 2019 , it would be nice to get a newer adaptation of Little Men and Jo’s Boys, I don’t think 🤔 Jo’s boys got a movie adaptation, I think the 1940 Little Men movie plot is based on Jo’s boys novel plot

I have been binging all of your videos! I love them so much!

No Amazon Prime is NO LONGER available {This video is currently unavailable to watch in your location

Adam Pearson is a pretty amazing actor.

I can’t hear “Are We Not Men?” without hearing “We Are Devo”. :)

I thought the alien was a series of clones. I didn’t get the meat being sent back to the home planet part. I thought she was a vampire eating souls or something. Actually looking at the Wikipedia page, it says the director used the myth of the Baobhan sith as inspiration, so the vampire imagery makes sense, as does the blood. I thought the motorcycle guy was her servant. Like he was in charge of reincarnating her body if she was a vampire or spirit (fairy) of some kind. Oddly enough, the Baobhan sith is referenced as a influence on AHS: Delicate as well.

This film is arthouse gold. But I can imagine the director saying, “She wears a human suit so her alien nature is UNDER THE SKIN!”

It is cheaper to eat as a vegetarian as opposed to a meat eater. That is why poorer families have “meatless Mondays” and the like. Especially now with groceries being a lot more expensive. I notice meat has probably gone up a 1/3 in price but veggies, nuts and legumes have gone up about a 1/10. So, really, poor people can take a stand for animal rights and climate change and also save money by making a meatless budget. I know, I have been poor. :)

Great intro to your channel for me! Hell of story too and I agree with you. This movie should exist for what it can teach people, the book for what it should show about the formation of the FBI, but also a Mollie perspective should exist, or at least a story about this written by an Osage to really give insight to cultural and rippling impact effects to them then and in the present. I'm sure one will eventually come out and that will be a wild story as well.

Loved this movie so much! I’m trying to get through the book 😅

I'm curious, did Greta Gerwig think the March sisters were raised in a barn? All four, except for Beth, acted like it! I had a similar issue with the 2005 adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, where the Bennet family appeared to live in a barn for some reason. They were still genteel in the book, with an army of servants. The March sisters still had a maid! This adaptation doesn't compare to the 1994 version.

Who is your favorite March sister and why???

Honestly I remember hearing the song "Pretty woman" when I was REALLY young (probably under 8) and then years later I read little women so for about a year I thought the song was "Little women walking down the street little women the kind id like to meet". it wasnt till I was at camp and my cabin did a parody that my counselor told me what the lyrics actually were!

Another great job I forgot a lot of details in book the surprise of chief in movie was just so great it makes book not as good . I saw it on broadway with Gary Sinese as Murphy and will Sampson sin play chief . In original cast it was it was kirk Douglas as Murphy and Gene Wilfer as Billy. Wish I can find a scene on UA-cam but can't. William Redfern last film play is narrated by chief also

Oh this one is gonna be good!

Great review, Laura! I am definitely one of the Beths in the world, and your description of her seems very spot-on 😆 but I also got a bit of Jo in me as well, and that's kinda what I think is the story's biggest strengths. It's been a while since I've seen the film (never read the book), but from hearing you go through the story again, I do like how each of the girls have such a distinctive personality that anyone could see a part of themselves in these characters, leading to representation in a lot of ways. It's really cool!

Hi Laura! I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation! I especially enjoyed your thoughts about Amy. I never thought about her in the ways that you brought up, but very true about her wisdom and strength of character. I did feel Beth's strength of personality shone in that scene by the seashore with Jo, which I was happy to see included in the 2019 version (its not in the Winona Ryder). Actually, my favorite line in the book - the most memorable- comes from Beth - the "I'll be lonely for you, even in heaven" line. That one just gets me. I also think its interesting to note that Beth is the only sister that keeps her own name when transferred from real life to the page. I think perhaps Louisa had a hard time writing about her. (I also discovered that in real life Beth Alcott actually had the makings of a botanist and kept extensive field notes- she was kind of the scientist of the family). I think you did a terrific job on this video and I cannot wait to see your Book vs Movie Little Women Part 2!

Other movie better than book cuckoos nest . LA confidential, princess bride

I went to a Gump and Co book signing to Meet Winston Groom at w 84st Barnes and noble . I loved his Vietnam book better times than these and we talked about being in the military I read and enjoy both books loved the movie . Love your reviews

Please do Bones & All

Can't watch this video because my Doctor told me my testosterone level was already low and this could get me into negative numbers. Just wanted to say your bookcase display looks AWESOME. Great job Laura. Until next time...

Can’t wait for your take on the 90s movie. ❤

excited for this one ❤

This movie seemed like a cheap rip-off of apocalypse now

I haven't read Stephen King at all, but when I want to, I'll just steal them from my mom. 😂

Thank for you this video. I recently go out of rehab and am nearly 2 months into my recovery and have been looking for more books to read related to addiction. You should check out Brandon Novak’s memoir “Dreamseller”. Absolutely great memoir based on his experience getting help and life in recovery after losing stardom and fame due to drugs
