Fun fact: Claire Danes was not scripted to cry for this scene. She just did because she got so emotional for Beth, and everyone was stunned for a moment. Then they started weeping as well. Claire Danes is a wonderful actress!
I know the 2019 is such a breath of fresh air. But, this 1994 one was and still is the most iconic one. The ensemble cast and the acting was on point each single one of them. I personally prefer Claire Danes's acting out of them all. Exceptionally superb!
I say 1994 is far superior than 2019 version Some minus point for 2019 version - Relatively dragged screenplay - casting of Meg March. What was Greta upto that time..? - Beth march was shown as a kid despite being third born. Looks younger than Amy, who is actually the youngest March sister - 2019 never shown directly how Beth got infected by scarlet fever. Maybe I might have missed that part. Apart from that, Christian Bale has given us the best Laurie and best Batman in cinema history. Winona Ryder (Mama Joyce Byers), the best Jo March.
Beth is my literary hero. As a shy and kind person myself, she is everything that I aspire to be. She had the gift of music and gave the gift of self sacrifice. The world of literature and the world at large, she is based on one of Louisa May Alcott’s sisters, is blessed to have her spirit forever and always. Claire Danes did a fantastic job at playing her in this beautiful adaptation.
They've cast them well. This adaptation is the best , after seeing all the other adaptations. I'm so glad Kirsten Dunst is Amy . She's perfect for this role. And I love Susan Saradon as Marmie
I feel like Florence actually did Amy justice since the newer movie made her character way more likeable and like that they didn't change the actress halfway through the movie because I didn't connect with older Amy is the 1994 version. The 2019 version also makes Amy and Laurie's relationship more convincing, this version makes him slightly creepy (which I never realised as a child), when he's confronting Amy and saying he just wants a March sister. That being said, everything else I prefer the 1994 version, and it will always be nostalgic for me
The 2019 version is like seeing Little Women in the eyes of Louisa May Alcott, but this one is like reading the book. It’s more emotional, heartwarming and poetic. Winona Ryder is also the superior Jo. Love this version ❤️❤️
I literally just started to watch this movie because the actresses of Jo and especially Beth fascinated me. I saw a trailer and I saw this versions Beth and something unique and peacefull was about her... I was not disappointed, this actress did an amazing job at portraying Beths highly sensitive and innocent nature. I wonder what the 2019 version is like. I cannot imagine a better Beth than her.
JasminTheDreamer In my opinion and going off of your personal experience, you might be disappointed with 2019’s portrayal of Beth. Great acting, but Beth and her intimate relationship with Jo wasn’t obvious, which is a crime. When Beth’s death came, I wasn’t particularly moved mostly because of how the story was told. In my opinion, Claire Danes’ as Beth performance in this film was perfectly nuanced and didn’t play on our emotions unfairly. The 2019 version is a good film, but in my eyes, it doesn’t compare to this version.
This sparked mainstream success for Danes who became overrated for a bit. Mary Wickes doesn't get enough attention here. . . funny, though, more people recognize her in a nuns habit than they do without.
@@arthurfleck816 I read her screenplay, looks promising. But the other recent versions I've seen were quite bad and didn't really add anything original.
@@arthurfleck816 it may be in terms of craft etc, but it didn't move me emotionally the way the Winona version did and so is my preferred version. but hey - we all have different opinions!
Oh my gosh. That cinematography. You can feel the cold outside... even though it looks gorgeous. And inside you can feel the warmth, both physically and spiritually. Seriously, the cinematography in the new movie can't hold a candle to this. It feels like a Hallmark TV movie by comparison.
I can see why Beth is moved by the old man's emotional reserve as he gives her his lost daughter's piano. It's a meaningful gift and a wholesome moment as everybody gathers to celebrate Christmas and Beth's (temporary) recovery.
I've already loved Winona since all movies she had been before. After 'Little Women' she became my consolidated muse! 🙌 Beth always was tough to watch, but so touching. 😥 GOSH, I LOVE THIS MOVIE! 🥰🤗
Anna Lee Jo never loved him. If you read the book or see the newest version it’s made a lot clearer. Jo was in love with the idea of BEING loved when she had finally accepted she was lonely, but she couldn’t say that she loved Laurie. She loved Fredrick in the end. I think it was the right choice to have Amy and Laurie together. Amy was a lot more likeable in the book and the new version.
I guess the reason this is my favorite version of the story is this.......this is how I imagined the story to be and it kind of came to life how I thought it should. But everyone is allowed to disagree!
The casting confused me especially since I've never read the book, I thought that Amy was older than Jo and Beth was the youngest and thank God this version cleared that confusion... I still love this version though
Aww, the old man was gruff, but he's the sweetest thing. Maybe the rough exterior was his fortress after his daughter died. But like Teddy said (paraphrase), who wouldn't want to be a part of the March family.
I'm torn between this scene and the scene where the sisters, the Lawrences, and John Brooke rallied to send Marmee off to care for Mr. March as my all time favorite.
I actually thought that Beth had gone blind when I saw this scene, until the piano is revealed and she reacts to it without anyone saying what it was out loud. I’m not sure what exactly it was about her facial expression, but I thought her character had gone blind.
She had just gotten over the effects of Scarlet Fever and was being led down by Marmee and Hannah, so the "blind expression" can be from the way the camera angle was pointed.
@@LilyWaterfall According to the timeline of the novel Amy was 12 and Laurie was 15. The age gaps between Meg and John and Jo and Friedrich were much larger, however I agree with you that these scenes don't work. The trouble is Kirsten Dunst looks like a child, whilst Christian Bale looks like an adult. Although I can't imagine other actors playing these characters, this was a real casting error. I always wondered why they didn't have those scenes (Laurie holding Amy/Amy talking about being kissed) in the section of the film after Meg's wedding but before Amy went to France. I love this film so much, but those scenes just aren't appropriate.
When you grow up with 2 older sisters in the 90s you know about this film lol hated it when i was a kid but im not ashamed to admit that I now love it!!!
I love how Laurie rushes forward and shuts Amy's mouth before she can give anything away and Mr. Laurence explains why he gave her the piano. I love the part at the end where Aunt March smiles. Up to now, she's only been grumpy.
Im on a rant watching beth scene’s because im playing her in a production of little women and every time i watch this version (dispite my love for the newer movie) i fall in love with it all over again
I watched both the versions of Little Women and there are actors who mean to me a lot because they made my childhood awesome. From 1994, that's Kirsten Dunst (Spider-Man) From 2019, that's Laura Dern (Jurassic Park)
If I want to make myself cry I just think of Claire Danes’ version of Beth. Her chin wobble when she cries just kills me every time, I can’t not cry. 😭
even more so, it was during a period when there was great economic turmoil, war and scarce resources... the "Little Women" household just barely kept their home and for the time period it was set it in, families like these had taken to selling most of their belongings to survive, even down to knobs on drawers, sometimes greater bits of the house itself in a bid to keep a roof over their head. . . otherwise the options were moving rural or to the city, where in both cases you had large families living in a single rooms. also, toss in the neo trascendentalist movement and those values being tested in the extreme. This would be a frivolous yet priceless gift. Albeit for Beth and her failing health, this is the thread that keeps her alive and a direction to explore her own interests as her sisters grow up and one by one leave... an outlet as valauble as a wheelchair or a new heart. And it was no small gift for him, even if he was in a better state of finances... so, it's akin to letting go of some of his own security and besides, he associates it with the memory of his late granddaughter, whom is the large reason he gifts it to her... so, the sentimental value is immeasurable.
In many ways the 2019 version is a bit better film than this one, but Claire Danes as Beth and this particular scene are superior to the versions in the 2019 film.
Buffyslyth I agree. Jo and Beth were the key relationship in the book, paralleling Louisa’s relationship to her sister, Lizzie. Their relationship wasn’t particularly special in the 2019 film, which should be unforgivable.
1994 : HAVE LEGENDS FOR CURRENT GENERATION ( Susan Sarandon, Winona Ryder, Christian Bale, Samantha Mathis, Claire Danes) 2019 : MAJOR STAR OF CURRENT GENERATION ( Saoirse Ronan, Florence Pugh, Emma Watson, Timothee Chalamet, Laura Dern, Meryll Streep) Little Women will forever be a agreat film.... Took 25 years before Greta Gerwig gave us an equal fantastic film......
I hate the new Little Women. Does not come close to this one. It’s not just different. The story jumps back and forth in time so much even a long time fan who knows the story well will have a hard time following the story.
One of the best films I’ve watched in 2019. Never watched or read little woman but only heard talk surrounding the book years ago. The movie was so easy to follow and Greta made the movie feel so natural and easy to follow. The color grading of the film is easily distinguishable and makes it easy to tell where the story is in time. A true gem
In every adaptation of this classic I am happy until I remember Beth and i think if there was anything I could do to change her fate for the better I would.
I feel as though I am the only one that did not care for Claire D. as Beth. Beth was the smallest of all of the sisters due to a weak heart and poor health and Claire towered over all of her sisters. It was also odd seeing her in pig tails acting so young when I’m seeing the tallest sister. I also thought she was a little melodramatic. In the making of the movie they did try to hide her height by keeping her on lowered stairs and seated, that just made it more obvious. My favorite Beth was Margaret O’Brien.
Beth was thirteen at the start of the story. She was fourteen when she became ill. The illness made her frail, but, that didn't mean she was necessarily short. When I was thirteen, I was already 5'8", and towered over my mother and my sister (who was eighteen.)
I do enjoy Margaret's performance as well, but Claire is a very special Beth as well. Both girls did phenomenal work with Beth's character, but Margaret honestly made me sob, because, she was at the time, only 12. Claire was 14, so both girls were very similar to Beth's character, which I enjoy.
I was watching it a few months ago and I was telling my Dad that I couldn't place where I had saw the old lady. And he told me that she was in sister act (keep in mind I loved that film when I was younger) I was pretty mind blown XD
Milasia completely disagree. She’s a talented actress but Saoirse Ronan is the next Meryl Streep. 26 years old and 4 Oscar nominations, you can’t beat that.
Pip Mitchell nope. remember, she’s acting a role, showing raw emotion in the way of the character! :) it’s not supposed to look ”pretty” (tho she does look that).
Fun fact: Claire Danes was not scripted to cry for this scene. She just did because she got so emotional for Beth, and everyone was stunned for a moment. Then they started weeping as well. Claire Danes is a wonderful actress!
Awww that's amazing yet beautiful!! She is a wonderful actress!!
Wow incredibly moving!
She almost cried when the baby was crying. Her lips was trembling so you can tell she wanted to
That's sweet
This was my senior year in high school. I remember My So-Called Life. XO
I know the 2019 is such a breath of fresh air. But, this 1994 one was and still is the most iconic one. The ensemble cast and the acting was on point each single one of them. I personally prefer Claire Danes's acting out of them all. Exceptionally superb!
I always loved this one I cry every time
The cast was the best , all great actors
Yes! Claire was the best of that cast -- which is really saying something.
This version is all I need. 💓
I say 1994 is far superior than 2019 version
Some minus point for 2019 version
- Relatively dragged screenplay
- casting of Meg March. What was Greta upto that time..?
- Beth march was shown as a kid despite being third born. Looks younger than Amy, who is actually the youngest March sister
- 2019 never shown directly how Beth got infected by scarlet fever. Maybe I might have missed that part.
Apart from that, Christian Bale has given us the best Laurie and best Batman in cinema history.
Winona Ryder (Mama Joyce Byers), the best Jo March.

Blueberry River no one appreciates kirsten as amy!! i LOVE her, she’s so adorable and her mispronunciations of words are sooo charming.
No one beats Kirsten, she's the best Amy.
Kristen = Little Amy and Florence = grown up Amy will be the best :)

Well said.
The 2019 one is not in Louisa May Alcott’s eyes. It missed the whole point of Jo’s character.
@@mm4843 But it was created in a way that modern people can understand and relate. One of those scenes, is Amy's monologue.
@@mm4843 I’m curious in what way the 2019 version missed Jo’s character? Sorry I haven’t read the book. Thank you
I agree so muxh@@mm4843

Beth always makes me cry, man. Smh
Same tho
Thank God. I'm in tears and thought I was feeling low!!
Every time
The moment when Laurie shut Amy's mouth was hilarious 😂😂
everything about her portrayal of beth is so so perfect. beth is one of my favorite characters and claire danes captures so perfectly why i adore her
0:30 The way Amy hides that thing under Aunt March's skirt.
I just saw that lmao
Hahaha I never noticed that before 😂
Clair daines is so underrated. This was an incredible performance. No offense to the newer one but I love this one.
This sparked mainstream success for Danes who became overrated for a bit. Mary Wickes doesn't get enough attention here. . . funny, though, more people recognize her in a nuns habit than they do without.
This will always be the best version of the story.
AMEN.

At this moment, two stars from The Greatest Marvel Trilogy and The Greatest DC Trilogy were together...!!!
Of all the Little Women movies, this one is my favorite. I watched it on Christmas Eve.
Claire Danes is a really great actress.
My brother is a softy, he watched this part and choked up. 😊💗❤️💗
Laurie was holding amy.....
All these years, I am still trying to recover from the devastation of Claire's performance as Beth. There has never been a Beth like her.
When I Can’t sleep and I need to cry and forget the world around me I always look this scene ♥️
I guess the reason this is my favorite version of the story is this.......this is how I imagined the story to be and it kind of came to life how I thought it should. But everyone is allowed to disagree!
I'm crying 😢, Claire Danes is such a great actress, I love the 2019 new version but this is still my favourite
Little Women (1994) is the best one for me. Love this scene!
if you ever need a good cry, this is the scene to start you off...
I'm not crying, you are.
the 2019 version made it look like amy was older than beth... or is it just me
I thought so too
I agree. Amy looked older than Beth because Florence Pugh is three years older than Eliza Scanlen
To me, 2019!Amy's deeper voice makes the character seem older... even with 2019!Laurie.
The casting confused me especially since I've never read the book, I thought that Amy was older than Jo and Beth was the youngest and thank God this version cleared that confusion... I still love this version though
Aww, the old man was gruff, but he's the sweetest thing. Maybe the rough exterior was his fortress after his daughter died. But like Teddy said (paraphrase), who wouldn't want to be a part of the March family.

First commentary
I love Beth In the book but this Beth never seemed ‘real’ to me, can’t relate her to the character
I mean I definitely do, but I might be biased because I enjoy any actor who plays Beth, but I mean, she really did her best and I enjoyed it.
