I love Jo and Friedrich together and in the books Amy and Laurie are great couple as well but many film/tv adaptations completely ignore to show it. Which is a shame.
I agree. Jo and Laurie had a beautiful friendship that really wasn't meant to be a romance. Jo knew this from the beginning and even Laurie said later that she was right. He was thankful to her in that respect. And the good part is that he eventually fell in love with her sister so he did remain in the family as Jo's brother-in-law and dear friend. When Professor Behr came along, Jo then knew that this is the man that she was meant for and that he was the one who brought those kind of feelings out of her. In the end both Jo and Laurie were happy with the choices they made. :)
@@annina1090 do you know me too Derek Llewellyn feel like being back in time time travel would be there by side effects from 40s to be there by side of building be in movie theater in new horizons house since I just let them back in time for the first time ever since I just love it so much it's looks like really remember reel feel like I feel flash back past
When I was small, I literally thought he meant he was actually going to the devil. But now that I'm an adult, he was not only angry, he was hurting, because he loved her. But at the end, he said something about the old days. Jo said "the old days never come back. We cannot be playmates any longer - we're man and woman now; but we can love each other like a brother and sister."
Saoirse Ronan was probably the worst Jo ever cast (I know, unpopular opinion), which is such a shame since Timothée Chalamet was so spot on with his portrayal of Laurie. I felt like Katharine Hepburn, June Allyson, Winona Ryder, and Maya Hawke all captured Jo's high-spirited pluckiness beautifully while Saoirse just seemed angsty and miserable all throughout Greta Gerwig's take on Louisa May Alcott's classic novel. To me, she just wasn't Jo.
MizzKittyBichon I agree, and it was a darn shame too because I felt like Saoirse Ronan definitely embodies Jo’s physical appearance, at least. I actually think Jo’s mopeyness and melancholy throughout the 2019 movie is indicative of a larger problem: Adulthood is terrible and scary has never been the point of Little Women (the book), and in the 2019 movie it overtakes the entire narrative.
I have only read the books watched the 2019 and 1994 version, but I recently watched the 1949 version and have to say that June Allyson really captured Jo’s spirit, exuberance and energy! Closely matched to the books. Wish we saw her writing more in the film and playing with Laurie.
Annalina Norrious It’s really not. Tone wise and dialogue wise, the 2017 miniseries and the 2019 movie nailed this scene better. I may not like some other decisions those two adaptations made, but they nailed this scene better than this movie did.
The TV tropes even says it Laurie has loved Jo since they met as teenagers is that true? Well if it is I don't blame him cause she is amazing and ahead of her time I love Jo cause she speaks her mind
This adaptation completely lacks the possessive behavior that the adult-Laurie has in the books. I think Peter Lawford (Laurie) had much better chemistry with Elizabeth Taylor´s Amy than with June Allyson`s Jo. June was amazing with Rossano Brazzi´s Friedrich.
That’s why I love Winona Ryder’s Jo and Christian Bale’s Laurie. They had more chemistry!!! I felt that there was chemistry lacking between them in this version.
Pois é ne, se ela fosse interesseira ela aceitaria casar com Laurie pq ele era rico no entanto ela o recusou pq não o amava, pois o amor da vida dela era um prof Baher, um homem pobre. Ela era como eu. O que me importa é o amor.
I watched this for decades wondering how she could turn him down especially with it being gorgeous Peter Lawford. Finally I realized they didn't match and never would and that she belonged with the professor.
@@ciarab4835 have u ever watched all the resident evil movies maybe I can answer me if u have which girl does Carlos have a thing for Alice r Jill? And was Alice the woman Alicia could never become?
@@charlenerafferty3534 I think Laurie thought that he was in love with Jo, but he wasn’t really, I think he was infatuated with her. I think Jo loved Laurie in a different way, but they both cared about each other very much.
This version is sunk by June Allyson’s casting as Jo. She’s 31 but may as well be 50, with her raspy voice and matronly demeanor. This version takes the script and the score from the definitive 1933 version. The 2019 version is also far superior.
Trey Layne Have you seen the 2019 version? Also keep in mind that I think the 1949 version is pretty bad. It’s a literal copy of the 1933 version and they still screwed it up with terrible casting.
I grew up with Wynona Rider as Jo in the 1994 version. I can’t see anyone else as Jo because of that. It may not be super accurate according to the books 📚 but I think the energy in my childhood version of Little Women is where it’s at 😉
It has never bothered me, June allyson will always be my Jo, she is wonderful. She captures Jo’s character more than any version I’ve seen. She’s gorgeous in this film, her older look has never bothered me.
When I was a child I felt so sad for him but now that I'm a woman I know that Jo was right! and she has the courage to say it to him :)

I love Jo, she is so brave and intelligent. Reminds me so much of my little sister. ❤️
@@Fairychamber Yes! Plus the book gives a _very_ clear explanation as to why a Jo/Laurie marriage wouldn't work out.

In every version... just keep breaking my heart!
The best version ever
This clip left out the best part.
Jo: Laurie! Laurie! Where are you going?
Laurie: TO THE DEVIL!
I remembered in the book, after Laurie said；jo thought this was a reassuring answer
left out when jo says to laurie yes i married!
When I was small, I literally thought he meant he was actually going to the devil.
But now that I'm an adult, he was not only angry, he was hurting, because he loved her.
But at the end, he said something about the old days.
Jo said "the old days never come back. We cannot be playmates any longer - we're man and woman now; but we can love each other like a brother and sister."
agreed. i used to read this part over and over and cry and cry as a young girl.
My favorite movie and version ,love this so much
I came here because of the new movie coming out... this duo will forever be Jo and Laurie to me..
I agree with you ¡
Katie Hughes really, not Winona Ryder & Christian Bale??
Agreed

This reminds me of Anne and Gilbert from Anne of green gables
I know, right?
These words are exactly the same. I’m going to confirm it! I was JUST talking about this.
Yup. Kevin Sullivan just changed some of the wording. But Megan Follows will ALWAYS be Anne to me😁
@@queenieinthehouse2959 Amybeth McNulty was an amazing Anne:)
@@kaite4398 no she wasn’t
The fact that they dated in real life and when they broke up and he apparently took it quite bad makes this scene all the more poignant😢
This broke my heart 😔😭
This is just too much for me 😭😭😭❤😭😭😭
When you watched the 2019 version and see this.... wow how times have changed......
OMG.. this is actually ACURATE!! Every reenactment of little women I've seen was 95 percent wrong
This is accurate in comparison to the book?
Annalina Norrious It’s really not. Tone wise and dialogue wise, the 2017 miniseries and the 2019 movie nailed this scene better. I may not like some other decisions those two adaptations made, but they nailed this scene better than this movie did.
@@hkc8544 incorrect

He always loved Jo
And this is a beautiful version
Lindo o filme, delicadeza, conteúdo interessante, lindas paisagens, Jô é o exemplo de mulher forte, determinada, à frente de seu tempo
I saw this movie on tv when I was a young teen and it broke my heart when she rejected Laurie :-(.
I love Peter Lawford’s profile and I’m sure he felt the same way.Anyway, he would have been loved off-screen so his charm wasn’t wasted.
best movies little women
So when Laurie says he loved Jo every since he known he loves at first sight
This adaptation completely lacks the possessive behavior that the adult-Laurie has in the books. I think Peter Lawford (Laurie) had much better chemistry with Elizabeth Taylor´s Amy than with June Allyson`s Jo. June was amazing with Rossano Brazzi´s Friedrich.
But you never really saw Laurie and Amy together in the movie 🧐
How do you feel about Christian Bale's Laurie?
That’s why I love Winona Ryder’s Jo and Christian Bale’s Laurie. They had more chemistry!!! I felt that there was chemistry lacking between them in this version.
I wanted to die when I saw this💀 I’m still so mad and I cried 💔💔💔💔💔
Bitte schoen❤⭐ ICH LIEBE ALLE DIE MÄDCHEN UND DIE SWEET FRAUEN....Sweet Michael J modesto California_____
Pois é ne, se ela fosse interesseira ela aceitaria casar com Laurie pq ele era rico no entanto ela o recusou pq não o amava, pois o amor da vida dela era um prof Baher, um homem pobre. Ela era como eu. O que me importa é o amor.
1949 versiyonun tamamını nerden izleyebiliriz bilen varmı .??
I don’t know friend, I have the DVD, maybe you could find it online.
I rather have Laurie!
Maybe you're more of an Amy type. :p
You are lucky girl!
Yes, so would I rather have Peter Lawford!!
I watched this for decades wondering how she could turn him down especially with it being gorgeous Peter Lawford. Finally I realized they didn't match and never would and that she belonged with the professor.
WHY, Jo! WHY😭💔
Because Laurie was an immature brick in the books. This adaptation completely brushes his character and made it less complex.
@@Fairychamber Good point. :'(
You can love someone as a brother, but not be "in love" with them. She hadn't found her own true love yet, the good professor.
Why Jo, why?
Because she's a lesbian, silly 😉
"Uh, Laurie--I can't marry you. I'm a lesbian!"
Hahahaha
Yeah, ‘cause every girl that rejects a man is a lesbian 🤦♀️
Couldn’t possibly reject a dude for any other reason 🤦♀️🤦♀️
Did Laurie love Jo since they met as teenagers then why did he use her for information about the sister for Mr brooke
They actually dated in real life
Wow really?

I know Jo described as average in looks just ok looking
But it makes sense for movie

I like that jo iscnot your typical girl but laurie likes her all the same, makes it all the more special
The 2019 version is not superior lol
