The way Laurie says "my lord" with the little shy but embarrassed fond smile makes me think that nickname is used both as sarcasm and chiding but also affection and in places other than in public XD
I wish they stayed true to the book and didn't make Jo "fall" for Laurie out of being desperate and lonely. But the way Laurie talks about Amy is so sweet🤗
Exactly. It would be so MUCH better that way. Seriously. Because i was that lady who dont want to get married even a guy were to beg me because i had things going on and i want to be represented!
I think we watched different films. She is overwhelmed idk. Maybe you just didn’t like this version. I think there are 5. I always thought it would be cool if someone took the best elements of remade films and then mashed them to make a super film.
Jo was never sad for Laurie marrying Amy. She was just mad at them for marrying and not telling/inviting her. That said, I also like Greta's portrayal of this scene.
Why did they make Jo so...... unnecessarily a victim of every situation in this movie. It's almost like all her faults and all her tragedies are greater than her sisters. In the book, Jo LOVED Amy and Laurie, and after reading their engagement news she said they were perfect for each other. She kept trying to set up Laurie with her sisters, knew how to own up her own flaws and didnt come home to nurse Beth while making a comment about how her baby sister (Amy) always has things easy. She was so much more mature than this version. Which is interesting, because a lot of people seem to find this version of Jo (Ronan) more feminist?
Agree. IMO, Whether it’s this or Barbie, I don’t get why some people get mad if you don’t think Greta Gerwig is God’s gift to feminist filmmaking. Don’t get me wrong, I still like both of these movies but I’m not gonna act like Gerwig’s writing is flawless. Some of her character choices could be better.
This scene is so NOT true to the book. Jo was genuinely happy for Laurie and Amy. And Amy didn’t start making those excuses: “I wanted to write you but… Are you not angry at me?”
This isnt my favorite version of the story, but rewatching this scene of Jo and Amy made me tear up. Life's too short to be angry with one's sister. ❤️
The absolute powerhouse acting in this scene is mind blowing. The subtlety and nuance of Saoirse and Florence’s interactions is just fantastic. You know you’ve got a great movie when Timmy is kinda hanging around as a second banana 😂😂 And while they are each their own new and unique actor, I have to say, Saoirse gives me Cate Blanchett vibes, Florence gives me Kate Winslet vibes and Timmy gives me Leonardo DiCaprio vibes.
The thing is, Laurie always wanted to be a March. That was always going to happen in one way or another. But he and Jo would have been terrible as a couple, they never would have challenged each other to be better people.
@@hermioned1304 absolutely not. Jo only ever loved Laurie like a brother. He was still “her boy”, just not romantically. What the movie doesn’t convey is the months of selfless, round the clock nursing and care Jo devoted to Beth as she was dying. Jo was beyond exhausted and heartbroken watching her favourite sister die when Amy came home. She felt isolated. And the happiness of her 2 sisters in their married lives compounded her feeling of loneliness. She also felt her dreams of being something die as she knew it fell to her to take care of her parents in their old age when everyone thought it’d be Beth. Book Frederick instantly noticed her careworn appearance when he showed up with “you haf been ill my friend?”. Treat yourself to the books, movies never get it right.
In the book while overseas Laurie vaguely realizes he is starting to think more about Amy. Trying to fight against his feelings he writes to Jo once last time asking her to take him back. We do not see the actual content of their letters, but Jo does write back and firmly says no.
"...there was no getting MY WIFE out of their clutches"-he had to go out of his way to insert "my wife" in place of "her", then acts all oopsy-daisy about it... I adore everything else about this whole scene though, it's so bittersweet...
@@Be_With_Me989 because you don’t forget the first love, that feeling never goes away. I think that Laurie’s marrying Amy made Joe started to look their relationship a little sensual (she refused to feel that in the past) but quickly realized that he is now her sister’s husband. Very subtle… the actors are excellent.
I think people should read the books, Laurie firmly shuts down any notions of it and Jo only ever sees him as a brother and thought that he and Amy are perfect together.
Better if they hadn’t made this up for dramatic effect. Worse even that both Laurie and Amy came off acting guilty and appealing/pleading with Jo’s good nature. They knew they did something wrong … you don’t go after a man that your sister has connections with… you don’t go after the sister of the girl you used to pursue. Lastly for the change in Jos character, she knew she made a good decision and you don’t back track on that.Good, pure people like they were in the book keep it clean.
One last thing, you don't make so many rules when it comes down to love anymore. Regardless of having pursued her older sister at some point, he fell in love with Amy. With Jo, it was an expectation. Amy was the true love of his life.
I always hated Amy 😅 although I must say the actress is quite likable in this film. Jo and the professor were allright. I could have lived with Jo not marrying Laurie if he had ended up with Beth, but not Amy.
Amy is not a true sister and Laurie is such miserable soul to go after the sister of a girl who he loved and confessed his love already. Jo should live her life staying away from toxic people and relationships. But again I do understand that Jo and May didn’t grow up together in same household which practically makes them a strangers and May always wanted to mary rich 😅
In the books Jo doesn't have this odd change of heart for plot drama and is actually pleased immediately for Amy as they've both matured by then! This is some weird regression on Jo's character growth.
Sister and girl code is stupid most of the time. It should never stop people from being happy just because someone didn't work with another.@@Wonwonssi
@@Wonwonssilegally he can marry Amy..I don't also like this sister's code..if they feel awkward with a person or their exes.. marrying their best friend or sister, they can separate sisters relationship and marriage without ruining it..
The way Laurie says "my lord" with the little shy but embarrassed fond smile makes me think that nickname is used both as sarcasm and chiding but also affection and in places other than in public XD
oh definitely lmaoo
absolutely 😏😅
That’s exactly what i thought in the first place😅
that lil smirk too 😂
EXACTLY my thought when I first watched this scene. Like okayyyyyy Amyyy you lil freak 😏 Laurie was having flashbacks.
And I'm very happy that Laurie and Amy reunited on Arrakis in Dune Part Two.
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
😂
😂 It’s fine if it is in Dune ! But I can never tolerate them together in Little Women - hate this part of the story!
*And thus later on, Laurie & Amy would unite on Arrakis. And the Holy war would begin...🤯💥*
HAHAHA you win the internet today
@@LisaG442yes! Agreed!
Spice is life Spice is power
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
And I'm sure that Irulan will refer to Paul as "My Lord" as well.
I love how he goes "Can we still be friends, Jo? Please". That's how you know how truly important it was for him, to have her in his life.
I wish they stayed true to the book and didn't make Jo "fall" for Laurie out of being desperate and lonely. But the way Laurie talks about Amy is so sweet🤗
Exactly. It would be so MUCH better that way. Seriously. Because i was that lady who dont want to get married even a guy were to beg me because i had things going on and i want to be represented!
Also because Jo didn't love him as anything else but a bestie. So it made no sense
Good thing they have five other versions of this film already. 😂
I think we watched different films. She is overwhelmed idk. Maybe you just didn’t like this version. I think there are 5. I always thought it would be cool if someone took the best elements of remade films and then mashed them to make a super film.
@@OoOMonkeyCoFreakOoO 😂😂😂😂
0:11 I melted on not only what he said, but also how he said it💗💗💗
2:49-2:54: I love Florence Pugh's face and frown. It's a very distinctive feature that only she does as an actor. Very charming and cute.
Jo was never sad for Laurie marrying Amy. She was just mad at them for marrying and not telling/inviting her. That said, I also like Greta's portrayal of this scene.
And - I think sad that the relationships are different. Grown up, more boundaries. It’s all good but it’s a final goodbye to childhood.
Jo is stronger than me thats for sure
It’s sooo nuanced. Not one of them feels only one thing. Fantastic acting

the way he smiles when he says amy's name i can't-

You can’t be made at Jo. We all made that decision.
Florence Pugh's deep voice always throws me off when she plays a young character, just like Miley Cyrus.
Some of us just have lower voices even from the time we were kids.
I think she's had the voice when she was young too...
She sounds like she’s been smoking 40 a day for 20 years 😅 But I think it’s a lovely voice, very rich and full of gravitas.
she has asthma and a condition tracheomalacia@@BanjoPixelSnack
Me too, it really didn’t fit the character, kind of threw me off.
The was laurie talks about Amy is so cute
He’s grin at “My Lord” 💀💀 it has definitely been said in the bedroom.
Eww.
@@madamebovary7211 Exactly. People bring sex everywhere

He really ties the room together.
Good thing this is a book / movie. This scenario would NEVER work in real life.
god the outro scared the shit outta me
😂😂 same omg
They need Saoirse for dune 3
In what character ??
I love this movie! This version ❤
Nope, book Jo didn’t have the struggle depicted here. She was instantly ecstatic at Laurie’s news of the marriage. Phooey on Hollywood
She did struggle.
Why is that though? She still wants to own that love even though she couldn't love it back?

She also doesn't wear men's clothes, nor did Louisa May Alcott.
Jo loved the professor she was cool with it
Revenge but served sweet 🙂
I feel like jo, regrets her decision 🤔
The real story Jo never wanted him.
This version depicted it otherwise and its not accurate
They are still spiritual lovers.
Thanks
Apparently this household has no combs for the poor women living there
"...there was no getting MY WIFE out of their clutches"-he had to go out of his way to insert "my wife" in place of "her", then acts all oopsy-daisy about it... I adore everything else about this whole scene though, it's so bittersweet...
Что за прекрасная актерская игра!
Saoirse Ronan is soooo good.
I love this movie!!!! ❤
Why the hell did they make jo act that way? It's so out of character.
Little Women (2019) Such a classic, following on such a strong 1994 version, must have been daunting. Done so well, it is a triumph.
omg their acting. best actresses.
DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT THIS SCENE WAS JUST AWFUL, It totally put TIMOTHEE'S CHARACTER on the chopping block.
Idk why bt I think Lauri still loves Jo...😅

Jo and the professor were allright. I could have lived with Jo not marrying Laurie if he had ended up with Beth, but not Amy.
What if she and Laurie were together at the end?😅
It's still weird he went after the little sister. I'm still convinced she's a rebound.
and she calls him my lord 🤢
she is 100% a rebound
Nope read the book, lourie fell in love with Amy and realised he never truly loved Jo.
This version is garbage
😮😮😮😮😮😢

Jo rejected Laurie thoroughly and resoundingly.
There's no reason he can't marry her sister
@scroogemcduckismyspiritanimal techinally, of course, he can marry anyone. But, morally, I thought women have sister code? No?

Me would a hate me sister fi life.
Amy selfish
how is she selfish ? Jo turned him down and wanted him after because she was lonely and just wanted to be loved, Amy is the true love for Laurie.
