little disclaimer: hey lovely kids just wanna say this isn't one of those edits where I am trying to make jo and laurie look more *epic* than laurie and amy etc. in fact this is me just appreciating the journey they go on because it's one of my favourite elements on the film, including the fact that they don't end up together, I just love the impact they had on each other and the growth they brought in one another, if I (and louisa may alcott herself) got it my way jo wouldn't have ended up with anyone! I value every opinion on here because as of right now they are respectful and polite, but please guys settle the debate down on what this edit is because it's actually not meant to be about me wanting them together in the end but just loving their relationship as *almost lovers* to lifelong friend-soulmates :) stay safe everyone!
"My dear teddy, I miss you more than I can express. *I used to think that the worst fate is to be a wife* , i was young and stupid. But now i have changed. *the worst fate is to live my life without you in it* "
I believe he couldn't move on from jo he just love her so much that it hurts him so bad and the moment he realized about Amy's feelings for him it makes him feel bad coz he knows how it feels like to be rejected and Amy even knows from the start that she never have a chance and just like jo he was lonely too and wanted to be loved so he accepted Amy tho he doesn't rly lover her
@@cherina2144 you got it right, I also think jo was too scared of being in love, she chose the writing because it was much safer than a broken heart, she finally allows herself to be vulnerable by writing that letter but by that time it’s too late, Lauri settled for the next best thing in Amy, Jo’s ego costed both her and Lauri a soul mate
When Jo writes her love letter to Laurie she says “My dear teddy, I miss you more than I can express. I used to think that the worst fate was to be a wife, I was young and stupid. But now I have changed. The worst fate is to live my life without you in it.” I think Jo finds it hard to express her feelings without going against her believes/ideas about what women should and shouldn’t be in the world. Like when Jo tells her sister Meg that she doesn’t need to get married to John and that she will get bored after 2 years. Later on Jo telling her mum that she is sick of women having their only purpose of to love. Jo realised that women are more than that. To all the people saying Jo felt ‘lonely’ and needed to fill a void that’s why she confesses to Laurie her love that was not the reason. When Jo left to go to New York she left her sisters behind. And when her sister Beth got sick she came back in a heart beat. Stopping everything that she was doing her dreams and ambition for her sister. When her sister Amy burned her papers Jo got angry at Amy and even said she will never ever forgive her and then when her sister nearly drowned she went back to talking to her in a heart beat realising that her sister was more important. Similarly as soon as she rejects Laurie she kept writing to him but he was the one that was not answering to her letters. Jo truly did care for him. She just didn’t have herself figured out yet. Jo thought a women cannot marry and pursue her dreams at the same time in the end she realises she can when she marries the professor. She realises this before however and wanted to tell Laurie by confessing to him through the letter but it was to late. Jo wanted it to be Laurie that she marries. Jo even admitted to her mum that when she gets angry her anger can blind her. Like when she rejected Laurie because of her anger blinding her to thinking women should be independent and never married, but she doesn’t realise women can be both. Jo is a strong willed character who refuses to back down but then she does on all of these occasions she does it for the people that she loves. She did that when she rejected Laurie. She was angry because she had dreams she wanted to pursue and marriage was not on her radar back then. However after loosing her sister for good this time she realises the mistake she made rejecting Laurie. She realises death is her worse enemy and it can come in the way of things even when she thinks she is in control. She steers the wheel of her life, she is independent, unmarried, in New York writing doing everything she ever wanted but death still has a way of ruining things. When she comes to this realisation she cannot bear to loose Laurie in the same way without telling him how she truly feels. Because Jo finally realises that the love she holds for him is greater than whatever it is she wanted to do as a single women.
Mona we don’t know if there story is true or not because the novel is an autobiography the writer can add many things , imagine new things , or delete somethings
They would have killed each other, Laurie was never really hers from the beginning, she did love him but she wasn’t in love with him. They would have not worked at all, and this is coming from someone who loves both Jo & Laurie and Amy & Laurie.
and he would’ve gone the rest of his life being nothing but a filler for jo’s emotional void. she only needed him as much as she needed to not be alone. laurie deserved better.
Francesca Winters she wrote that because she was lonely. it wouldn’t have been fair to him if he’d had that note :( she didn’t mean it, she was just in desperate need of companionship
@The Society: Not at all :/ She was truly in love with him, she was just scared to admit it and say it out loud because it went against her entire life’s beliefs of ‘a woman doesn’t need a man’
Soph xoxo she wasn’t in love with him. she was in love with he idea of being with him. jo was really lonely and it would’ve been unfair to both of them. letting him read that letter would’ve destroyed her relationship with amy too.
Soph xoxo then why was she so quick to admit that she loved the man she married? if she truly loved laurie as she loved frederick, she would’ve gone after him ages before she was lonely. frederick was able to change her mind, not him.
from a far i can agree, but when you dive into the themes and context of the story, you have to understand that they are not a match. jo represents the freedom of a woman tofollow their dreams as she tackles gender conformity. if she were to end up with laurie, she would have been subjected to the roles she has been resisting her whole life. she would have been his wife, his property. she and professor share intellectual interests which is best for jo. she doesnt care about looks or age. professor better suits her needs and wants.
they were perfect together as good friends.... but I don't think anything more than that. the only reason jo went back to him in the end was because she didn't want to be lonely, that's it. she would've actually been so unhappy.
@@sandhyachristine7173 I believe that the author really really didn't want her to get married and for her to be content being alone, but the publishers or whatever at the time wouldn't allow a book without the lead woman getting married to be published, so they kinda played off that in the movie with the way it happened
No they were platonic soulmates she even says that she just wanted to feel the void of love that she didn’t have and Laurie states the love I feel for Amy it’s different which means it’s romantic he just dint realize in the past because jo is the first women he ever met and jo was hanging on to the past a time where her writing was thriving her family was strong and she had her best friend but Beth dies meg has her family and Amy was in Europe and jo didn’t have any happiness left and thank god Laurie didn’t get her letter because if he went running to her and they married she wouldn’t have worked on her book and Laurie wouldn’t be loved right
Little Women is the only movie that makes me feel a whole lot of emotions I never thought were possible. I watch this movie because it reminds me that I am alive.
I can genuinely understand Jo. She was just so young to know the difference between being needed a man and loving a man. She was strong enough to stand on her own feet. That's why she didn't let Laurie to get in her life. Then she learned, in a hard way, loving someone doesn't make us weak. This pain changed her mind but It was too late to catch up with Laurie's love...
I think if jo wouldn't have a sister Amy or if she was a single child or if if Laurie was too heart broken to fall in love again or if Jo would have realized a little early then the story might have been different 🤔 🤷. In the end Its all Fate.
I think they were soulmates but not in a romantic way, Jo never loved him enough, she herself couldn’t say that she loved him, she just didn’t wanna be alone, she loved him but not the way he wanted (like a lover) but more like a best friend. In the end Amy was best for him because she truly loved him like Laurie loved her, with Jo its was gonna be an unrequited love, and Amy changed him for good, Joe brought up the child in Laurie but Amy brought the man inside him, that’s why they were perfect for each other despite everything 💕
Completely agree! Soul mates don’t have to be romantic. Their friendship and connection is beautiful but that doesn’t mean they’re meant for each other romantically.
Bulma Briefs but Amy loved Laurie and has always remember the garden scene my opinion is that Amy and Laurie were meant for each other but jo and Laurie were always better off as friends because they are so close and like what jo said they wouldn’t work and that would just tear them apart I think but idk I could be wrong🤷🏽♀️🥺
In the book it explained that Laurie wanted to write a play, and he wanted jo to be the heroine, but it said that he couldn’t have any detailed thoughts about her. His love for her had faded, he could only think of amy. I also feel like he knew he wanted to grow old and spend his life with jo, but really not as a husband, as a friend. They are too much alike each other to be great with each other
It’s a different kind of love he feels for Amy. He stopped looking at her as a little girl, he discovered all the good things in her and falled for them. The love between Laurie and Amy is more realistic and mature. So it doesn’t really matter if he feels more or less for one or the other I think, cause it’s just different
The sweetest part between them is that Jo calls him teddy. And no one calls him by that name other than Jo. And that's what makes them so perfect and deserving for eachother.
I feel sad for Laurie, as Amy said, he now noticed her because Jo rejected him, well, they both hurt each other because they are forcing something that did not happen naturally, it is like pretending that they love each other because there is no other option.
Griselda Martínez no he also said that the love he feels for Amy is different which is romantic because he realizes that the love he felt for jo was a friendship/sister type of love
@@elizabethcuevas3728 I agree Laurie fell in love to early or what he thought was love and jo was lonely and didn’t love him in a romantic way but I feel as with Amy he loves her I’m a different was then he love jo. Some may say jo and Laurie are soulmates but in a friendship way. Either way I love Amy and Laurie together I don’t care what others say. And jo in the movie always wanted to be an strong independent women either way
"I have been 2nd to Jo my whole life , in everything ." - _Amy_ My immediate reaction was imagining Jo saying the same thing. Just that Jo's version has more meaning . Jo was the one who was always replaced by amy . Whether it was to the grandmother or to her own sisters . It was always Jo who was replaced not amy and that's even worse that her entire life she was treated worse than her sisters . She was less worthy than her sisters . Why ? Because she was simply being herself
Honestly i think it's ridiculous that amy said that, laurie was JO's best friend, not hers. So why the jealous? In this movie it's like she just wanted him since they met, when she introduces herself and when she is hit by the professor she keeps talking about herself and how she is better than her sister, that cannot possibly be love
This. Although Amy was actually was a good character, Jo really made lots of sacrifices for her family that we cannot discount. When her Dad was sick, Jo sold her hair, the only thing that she and people felt was good in her physical appearance then, to help her ailing father. When Beth was near dying Jo stayed beside her family, while Amy was having a great time with Laurie abroad. Jo shouldered the responsibility of taking care of her mother and father while still grieving, while Amy was away. When Jo wanted that trip to France badly, it was given to Amy. It's just so bad for me. But yeah, maybe Amy only said that because it was rather late that Laurie saw her beyond the brotherly eye.
I wish Laurie waited for a few days more before marrying amy. He would have got Jo's letter. Reunite with his true love Jo. I feel amy was just a compromise.
I think over the years he fell out of love with Jo. Yes, first love is special but doesn't mean that you will never fall in love with someone else again?
It's not about message sending and receiving....he fell in love with amy as a man...he loved jo as a boy....big difference..not saying either love was superior to the other one
I just noticed that in their childhood Laurie also wears the red/dark blue of Jo’s color palette a lot. Shows that she is a huge part of himself, besides from the constant swapping of vests. But in the end when Laurie is with Amy his own clothes are lighter gray/light blue, Amy’s color palette.
I don't understand how people don't understand that despite anything and everything, amy should have ATLEAST talked to jo about her & laurie before straight up showing infront of her as man and wife.. she asked jo if it was okay after getting married already? what's the point of that?
The girl made it clear she didn’t love Laurie like that. And if she didn’t have any romantic feelings towards him why should Amy feel the need to check and see if it was ok. That’s like asking my sister if it’s ok to date someone she has already said she doesn’t have romantic feelings for at all.
@@ebonijones3641 no need for excuses.. what could she say? yes i have feelings for him but you're already married? jo is the strongest one and she have to be that way too this time. she played her role and said okay. amy's behaviour is so selfish as always.. she always thinks about herself firstly.
I think that Jo just wanted to make it on her own so much that’s she ignored her feelings for Laurie even though she obviously did love him. Then when it came time that she wasn’t doing great on being on her own and she finally decided to accept her feeling for him but it was too late. No on can tell me that they don’t belong together because they obviously loved each other and Laurie will never love Amy like he loved Jo!!
I think that she tried very hard to love Laurie the same way he loved her but she simply couldn't. She didn't push him to be better and hated the society that Laurie would always be a part of. Laurie, though he loved Joe ver much, didn't push her to be better and did not appreciate her love of writing. At the end, Joe was willing to give in to Laurie's love not because she finally could reciprocate, but because she was lonely. She was so lonely after almost loosing her best friend, loosing her beloved sister, and being away from those that loved her that was willing to lower her standards and give in to a life she would not enjoy to stop feeling that way. In conclusion, their love was one of true friendship, and could never be more.
When Jo writes her love letter to Laurie she says “My dear teddy, I miss you more than I can express. I used to think that the worst fate was to be a wife, I was young and stupid. But now I have changed. The worst fate is to live my life without you in it.” I think Jo finds it hard to express her feelings without going against her believes/ideas about what women should and shouldn’t be in the world. Like when Jo tells her sister Meg that she doesn’t need to get married to John and that she will get bored after 2 years. Later on Jo telling her mum that she is sick of women having their only purpose of to love. Jo realised that women are more than that. To all the people saying Jo felt ‘lonely’ and needed to fill a void that’s why she confesses to Laurie her love that was not the reason. When Jo left to go to New York she left her sisters behind.

I think she just wanted to prove that she can be rich and successful without a man. Their aunt always said that you needed to marry a rich man to have a great life. Since Laurie was rich she didn’t want to make it seem like she only wanted him for money. And also other reasons
You did a remarkable job. I love this video. When I was 12 I wished Laurie and Jo had ended up together. I thought they were meant to be. Now that I’m in college I realize they were never meant to be together in marriage. They were platonic soulmates. Laurie thought he was in love but feelings are complicated and many other factors are involved. Jo was able to see that and she knew they weren’t meant to be partners.
In the musical, they actually do kiss! Twice actually, I think. Jo get’s mad and Laurie storms off ‘cause she rejected him. It’s really sad, but really immature. I think that was the purpose, though, because they were young at the time I think like 18 or 19. Then after Laurie purposes he goes to London with Amy and then Jo leaves for New York. She meets Bhaer and you know… The musical is really a better story in my opinion!
@Star 98 The story in the book is the original story so try to follow the books . Films are just exaggerated versions. Each film's are based on the brief adaptation of the book but the structures are different. Films and books do have a difference
I don’t understand why the comments are filled with Laurie and Amy shippers. This is a beautiful edit and Jo DID love Laurie, she just wasn’t able to admit it to herself and say it out loud because it went against everything she believed in. Either way, why would you click on a video clearly titled ‘Jo and Laurie’ if you don’t ship them. The negativity is unnecessary and honestly disrespectful when we editors spend such a long time on every edit, just for the comments to be against the ship :/
Soph xoxo I don’t think this edit was really a ship edit, it was more of an edit showcasing their journey, the edit is beautiful and I love it (and I loved the movie so that’s why I clicked on it, even though I am leaning more towards the side of liking Amy and Laurie better) and I don’t think it was negativity or hate the people we’re sending it was them explaining their views and opinions :) have a wonderful day
Completely agree. I think people are forcing this Amy and Laurie ship because the actress that plays Amy is super in favor of it. But i can't make sense of that relationship. I completely agree with you point if view it seems so clear to me. That's the essence of the film. She wanted to be her own women and not be someone's wife that's why she rejected him then. But by the end of the movie you can see that she regrets it but doesn't act on it cause she deeply loves her sister and wants her to be happy
Well I mean it’s not negativity just trying to explain that Laurie and jo had a beautiful relationship but it was platonic when her mom ask fo u love him she couldn’t bring her self to say it because it wasn’t true she wanted things to be the same as they were in the past a past where she was happy and her writing and family were thriving but meg got married Beth got sick and Amy went to Europe now the edit was beautiful and they had a beautiful relationship but they shouldn’t have been together when he says the love I feel for Amy is different he means different as in romantic but he’s always gonna love jo as a best friend
justanotherpersonxo what do you mean when her mom ask do you love him she couldn’t say it because she didn’t she just wanted somethings from the past and to not be lonely she wanted things to stay the same throughout the whole movie but meg got married Beth got sick and Amy left and her writing wasn’t going well she just wanted something to feel the void of loneliness and sadness
@@elizabethcuevas3728 I interpreted as i explained above. I was pretty clear. Be open minded and see it in that perspective. If you can't make sense of it. That's ok too. I tried to make sense of Amy and Laurie's relationship and i just couldn't. But that's me. We can agree to disagree. I understand where you coming from but i can't agree cause i see and interpret the story in a very different way.
Woah... Ya'll either need to make a move or move on. The girl will never know if you love her or not, and if she doesn't love you back, then you'll find someone who eventually will. You need closure instead of loving someone for years on years, because that's lonely and painful.
I loved the character of Jo. Even though she had to face so many difficulties, she was still so vibrant. She deserves all the love in this world. But the ending tore me apart, I wish Jo and Laurie would have ended up together.
they wouldve been so perfect as a couple. it hurts me because we never got a chance to see them together :,( their chemistry was so real i really really wish they couldve became something
I believe Jo did love Laurie. She just struggled with the idea of getting married and being in love. That's why her character was complicated and different. She firmly believed in staying single because love or marriage isn't the only happy ending a woman deserves. She turned down the love of her life to stand by her beliefs. Later, she realizes it's okay to be in love. She embraces her feelings for Laurie, but by then it was too late.
Laurie's heart will forever belong to Joe..there will always be something genuinely precious and special bond between them..just look how he was keep asking to tell him who just come?!!
I don't hate her (she's a great character imo), but I also wonder the same thing. And then he behaved like such a jerk. Now I feel like he hated to watch the last available March sister get married off because 1) she's beautiful and 2) he was not going to ruin another shot at a March sister, especially as he still hurt from Jo's rejection.
I think he fell in love with the woman Amy had turned into. When Laurie was younger Amy was mostly just a little girl with a crush that fawned over him but as a woman she didn't take he's shit (ie. him showing up late to the party drunk after making her wait for him & the 'marriage is different for you then it is for me so don't judge me' scene). Yes she was beautiful but she was also artistic, honest (it took guts to so openly admit to her insecruities about being just a replacement for Jo & let him know that if that was what he was trying to do then she would have no part in it) smart, cared a lot for her family (she was planning to marry a man she didn't love just to help financially support her family) & a good person (she didn't marry Fredric in the end because she knew it wouldn't be fair to either of them to be in a relationship with someone she didn't really love).
ikr i hated her since what she did with Jo's book, and then after i saw what happened with Laurie "falling in love" with her was just like omg u gotta be kiddingggg
I don't know why I suddenly got so emotional while watching this. And now I'm sobbing like someone just die in the middle of the night for a characters in a movie.
No matter how much they love each other, if a person comes at your wrong time then he/she is a wrong person. Always keep that in mind. A right person will come at your right time and even if they come at your wrong time, they will never leave or make things more difficult for you
in the books Beth is very sad and cries a lot (because Beth knows that she is going to die) but Jo thinks that she is sad because Beth is in love with Laurie. Jo suspects that Laurie is very interested in her and leaves for New York to make Laurie forget her. But Beth was never in love with Laurie and he did not forget her. And when she rejects it Beth had not yet told her that the reason for her sadness was that she was going to die, but that Jo found out when Laurie already went to Europe. Sorry for my english its not well😅
When Jo says " But I'm so lonely" that clearly states that she wasn't in love with Teddy, she cared for him, she felt good and peaceful with him but couldn't love him, and I guess most of us are selfish we mistake this feeling of being empty and wanting someone,who love(d) you, back and name it love. Jo didn't, she wasn't selfish. And at the same time I feel so sorry for Amy, because I still don't understand if Laurie really loved Amy , I mean I know he loves her, but was it more than his love for Jo? And yet again idk if he really loved Jo or not , or was it a result of feeling good with her...
When Jo writes her love letter to Laurie she says “My dear teddy, I miss you more than I can express. I used to think that the worst fate was to be a wife, I was young and stupid. But now I have changed. The worst fate is to live my life without you in it.” I think Jo finds it hard to express her feelings without going against her believes/ideas about what women should and shouldn’t be in the world.

I dunno, I feel like jo and laurie have always and will always love each other in unique way, albiet not a romantic way. For their whole childhood, Laurie expected and wanted it to be romantic, but I think for Jo it never was. In the scene where she's regretting rejecting Laurie, it clearly comes form a place of wanting to be loved, and she feels terrible for hurting Laurie. Not because her love for Laurie is romantic. As for her letter, it's true: she does want to have him in her life. She also wants to mend things between them and not cause him any more pain as she does truly love him like a brother. But I still think even as she wishes she didn't reject him, it's not from a romantic love. And perhaps after that rejection, Laurie needed the space to find out who he was apart from Jo. Maybe he realized Amy is who he truly needed all along. Maybe his love for her wasn't childish like it was with Jo, maybe it was more mature as he got to know the grown up version of Amy, who was not the little girl she had been. I dunno, I don't rly like their relationship at all, but I think (or hope lol) that the love between Amy and Laurie is more husband-wife love. Meanwhile, Jo and Laurie's bond is deep and strong.
Jo is strong willed, independent, never gave up on her dreams and always cared deeply for her family. Laurie is jealous in the end asking about Friedrich, he clearly has a soft spot for her. And we never got to see what would Laurie do after he got the letter so i honestly believe he still loved her, as just few weeks before he proposed to Amy, Laurie talked about Jo's ring that he was still wearing to Amy. He couldn't have fell in love with Amy just after some weeks after wearing that ring for a long time. I honestly believe he married Amy just to see Jo often as he realised he wouldn't get Jo.
I personally think Jo and Laurie are soulmates, just not in a romantic way. Amy and Laurie fit better together romantically because they both suited each other so well. Jo wrote the letter to Laurie because she just didn’t want to be lonely, and she loved him just not in that way. Amy and Laurie are good for each other, and same with Jo and Frederic. Their relationship is so beautiful.
At first, I thought Amy’s love for Laurie was very wrong. Not just because of the age difference, but cause she didn’t have the first crush before. But this adaptation turned my consciousness. Jo, who rejects Laurie because she just can’t love him the way he wants her to; Laurie, who thinks he’s disgusting, that he isn’t good enough and now he should just destroy himself; Amy, who refuses to marry Fred because she doesn’t love him the way she should; finally, the way they fall in love with each other either. How they notice they are similar, and Amy shows Laurie that she has respect for herself and for him too, so she won’t be Jo’s replacement for his broken heart. It was very meaningful. I cried when Laurie proposed to Jo, I cried when Beth died, but this moment when Laurie kissed Amy... It was one of the strongest scene of the film. Little women mean so much to me and it's been a huge part of my childhood.
I just finished the book and stumbled upon this video. Everybody knows the emotional emptiness you feel after finishing a good book. I very rarely get emotional over fiction but this video brought me into tears. And I loved every second of it! I don't usually leave comments here on UA-cam but this time I felt like I had to. Really beautifully done!
Man, no one will ever love her like he did. And he never would have tried to squash her ambitions. He would have pushed her to be better and accomplish everything she dreamed of. I don't think that he wanted to marry her to control her, he wanted to marry her to love and support her truly.
This movie was recommended to me by a friend because she said I am so much like Jo. And honestly, I so much see myself in her. I hate to admit to a person that I'm in love with him coz it would go against my belief that I hate marriage. But then, after turning down, it would just me feeling hurt of what i did. Specially when that guy started to fall for another girl.
this movie makes me cry and smile so much it's crazy, it's like i'm *unhappily content* with how it ended, and i know those words contradict each other, but that's the only way i can explain it. i'd watch it over and over just to cry my eyes out each time.
honeslty jo and laurie are meant to be and before everyone comes at me im sick of tired hearing that jo and laurie would never make sense because in my eyes it did. The joy was the real, the happiness was real and so was the love. Amy and him just seemed like that "perfect" couple whilst it didn't seem real. Amy might be his "love of her life" but jo was his soulmate

little disclaimer: hey lovely kids just wanna say this isn't one of those edits where I am trying to make jo and laurie look more *epic* than laurie and amy etc. in fact this is me just appreciating the journey they go on because it's one of my favourite elements on the film, including the fact that they don't end up together, I just love the impact they had on each other and the growth they brought in one another, if I (and louisa may alcott herself) got it my way jo wouldn't have ended up with anyone! I value every opinion on here because as of right now they are respectful and polite, but please guys settle the debate down on what this edit is because it's actually not meant to be about me wanting them together in the end but just loving their relationship as *almost lovers* to lifelong friend-soulmates :) stay safe everyone!
scrappymitchell thats what i’m saying! Hi is a free spirit, she didn’t seem like she wanted to be with Fredrick either. She was just lonely
I love it. 💕
Love it, love you.
True love comes once. Real love can come countless times. There is a grey place there..

I cried
he said ,,and i’ll watch” but in the end she is the one that watched him be in love
This is real life 🤧
Yeah, so sad
this is nothing but hypcrisy of men
Yeah, and this is sad😿
yeah cause Friedrich doesn't exist? They both found someone who was more compatible.
"That ring looks ridiculous."
"Jo gave me this ring." 😭💔
aonde tem essa cena???
I believe he couldn't move on from jo he just love her so much that it hurts him so bad and the moment he realized about Amy's feelings for him it makes him feel bad coz he knows how it feels like to be rejected and Amy even knows from the start that she never have a chance and just like jo he was lonely too and wanted to be loved so he accepted Amy tho he doesn't rly lover her
"I feel bad for you I really do"
For somehow, that line hits so hard in this video than the actual movie. His tone just feels so real here
@@cherina2144 you got it right, I also think jo was too scared of being in love, she chose the writing because it was much safer than a broken heart, she finally allows herself to be vulnerable by writing that letter but by that time it’s too late, Lauri settled for the next best thing in Amy, Jo’s ego costed both her and Lauri a soul mate
if i had a relationship with someone like jo did with laurie and my sister ended up marrying him-
god so help me
I feel you
Yeah nobody noticed that or ?
Manon it’s cause jo knows her sister was happy and Laurie also was so deep down she knew she didn’t want to make her sister unhappy so she left it
@@sumeya1923 of course, you think at your sibling's happiness, but as a big sisters, it's a little little bit awkward

Shayen Barria oof story of my life...
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
thank you for making me cry
oh my god you got it right !!!!!!!!
Damn
It hurts so much
Yes but Jo did not return Laurie love
I got depressed after watching this movie 🤣😭
When Jo writes her love letter to Laurie she says “My dear teddy, I miss you more than I can express. I used to think that the worst fate was to be a wife, I was young and stupid. But now I have changed. The worst fate is to live my life without you in it.” I think Jo finds it hard to express her feelings without going against her believes/ideas about what women should and shouldn’t be in the world. Like when Jo tells her sister Meg that she doesn’t need to get married to John and that she will get bored after 2 years. Later on Jo telling her mum that she is sick of women having their only purpose of to love. Jo realised that women are more than that. To all the people saying Jo felt ‘lonely’ and needed to fill a void that’s why she confesses to Laurie her love that was not the reason. When Jo left to go to New York she left her sisters behind. And when her sister Beth got sick she came back in a heart beat. Stopping everything that she was doing her dreams and ambition for her sister. When her sister Amy burned her papers Jo got angry at Amy and even said she will never ever forgive her and then when her sister nearly drowned she went back to talking to her in a heart beat realising that her sister was more important. Similarly as soon as she rejects Laurie she kept writing to him but he was the one that was not answering to her letters. Jo truly did care for him. She just didn’t have herself figured out yet. Jo thought a women cannot marry and pursue her dreams at the same time in the end she realises she can when she marries the professor. She realises this before however and wanted to tell Laurie by confessing to him through the letter but it was to late. Jo wanted it to be Laurie that she marries. Jo even admitted to her mum that when she gets angry her anger can blind her. Like when she rejected Laurie because of her anger blinding her to thinking women should be independent and never married, but she doesn’t realise women can be both. Jo is a strong willed character who refuses to back down but then she does on all of these occasions she does it for the people that she loves. She did that when she rejected Laurie. She was angry because she had dreams she wanted to pursue and marriage was not on her radar back then. However after loosing her sister for good this time she realises the mistake she made rejecting Laurie. She realises death is her worse enemy and it can come in the way of things even when she thinks she is in control. She steers the wheel of her life, she is independent, unmarried, in New York writing doing everything she ever wanted but death still has a way of ruining things. When she comes to this realisation she cannot bear to loose Laurie in the same way without telling him how she truly feels. Because Jo finally realises that the love she holds for him is greater than whatever it is she wanted to do as a single women.
Say it louder, here you dropped this 👑
I literally balled my eyes out reading this.
You just put what I thought she felt into words. Thank you!
Oh my god, you explained this do beautifully I think I'm about to cry even more-

Especially that scene when Jo is explaining why they can't be together and Laurie just keep saying I love you.
The fact that it’s based on a true story hurts me
it is?
Oh shit I forgot about that😭😭
Mona we don’t know if there story is true or not because the novel is an autobiography the writer can add many things , imagine new things , or delete somethings
the author was a lesbian, that's why Jo doesn't end with Laurie.

@@niumidissanayake2766 Little women, 2019
They would have killed each other, Laurie was never really hers from the beginning, she did love him but she wasn’t in love with him. They would have not worked at all, and this is coming from someone who loves both Jo & Laurie and Amy & Laurie.
if laurie got her note, i swear he would’ve ran back to her
and he would’ve gone the rest of his life being nothing but a filler for jo’s emotional void. she only needed him as much as she needed to not be alone. laurie deserved better.
Well...the author was a lesbian, that's why Jo doesn't end with Laurie.
They were soulmates but not in a romantic way.
ofc it doesn’t end that way, but i like the twist bc it’s not like all the other movies.
Paola Gracia That isn’t automatically the reason then lol
Yeah, but that doesn't mean it was right. Jo could never love Laurie the way he loved her, and eventually, Laurie fell out of love.
if only Laurie got her note...
Francesca Winters she wrote that because she was lonely. it wouldn’t have been fair to him if he’d had that note :( she didn’t mean it, she was just in desperate need of companionship
the society OMG YES EXACTLY WHY DONT PEOPLE SEE THAT?
@The Society: Not at all :/ She was truly in love with him, she was just scared to admit it and say it out loud because it went against her entire life’s beliefs of ‘a woman doesn’t need a man’
Soph xoxo she wasn’t in love with him. she was in love with he idea of being with him. jo was really lonely and it would’ve been unfair to both of them. letting him read that letter would’ve destroyed her relationship with amy too.
Soph xoxo then why was she so quick to admit that she loved the man she married? if she truly loved laurie as she loved frederick, she would’ve gone after him ages before she was lonely. frederick was able to change her mind, not him.
this was so beautiful. i don’t think ill ever get over how perfect they were together:(
Yes.😔
from a far i can agree, but when you dive into the themes and context of the story, you have to understand that they are not a match. jo represents the freedom of a woman tofollow their dreams as she tackles gender conformity. if she were to end up with laurie, she would have been subjected to the roles she has been resisting her whole life. she would have been his wife, his property. she and professor share intellectual interests which is best for jo. she doesnt care about looks or age. professor better suits her needs and wants.
@@joseffpaz9753 true but when I read the book I hoped she wouldn't marry at all but still b happy
they were perfect together as good friends.... but I don't think anything more than that. the only reason jo went back to him in the end was because she didn't want to be lonely, that's it. she would've actually been so unhappy.
@@sandhyachristine7173 I believe that the author really really didn't want her to get married and for her to be content being alone, but the publishers or whatever at the time wouldn't allow a book without the lead woman getting married to be published, so they kinda played off that in the movie with the way it happened
Me: it's a good day today. Positive vibes only.
Also me: let's watch Laurie and Jo edits.
Lol 😂 & 😢 !!! Me too !!!!! 😔 😢 💔 …!!!
:((((
"And I'll watch." This broke me. Literally.
Agreed 😭
I'm crying 😭😭😭
I love how Jo is usually a masculine name, and Laurie is typically feminine
Her name is Josephine tho
Todas las personas tenemos energías masculinas como femeninas pero depende de la persona con cual más se expresa sin importar el género.
I really hated Amy when she burnt jo’s writing , as a writer myself I felt jo’s pain :’
I knowww
my least fav scene
Yes
same tho
right
I think they were total soulmates but Laurie has to be with amy. Soulmates don't have to be together, just be in each other's lives.
Beautifully said ❤️
No they were platonic soulmates she even says that she just wanted to feel the void of love that she didn’t have and Laurie states the love I feel for Amy it’s different which means it’s romantic he just dint realize in the past because jo is the first women he ever met and jo was hanging on to the past a time where her writing was thriving her family was strong and she had her best friend but Beth dies meg has her family and Amy was in Europe and jo didn’t have any happiness left and thank god Laurie didn’t get her letter because if he went running to her and they married she wouldn’t have worked on her book and Laurie wouldn’t be loved right
Elizabeth Cuevas that was beautifully said
This comment totally hurt me!
Clerene i think that’s why he married amy. to stay in jo’s life
Little Women is the only movie that makes me feel a whole lot of emotions I never thought were possible.
I watch this movie because it reminds me that I am alive.
It reminds me of the man I love. He’s very similar to Laurie and funnily enough his name is Joe😂
@@anniefrank3249 Wow. The person's name you've used as the username is one of my favourites
I can genuinely understand Jo. She was just so young to know the difference between being needed a man and loving a man. She was strong enough to stand on her own feet. That's why she didn't let Laurie to get in her life. Then she learned, in a hard way, loving someone doesn't make us weak. This pain changed her mind but It was too late to catch up with Laurie's love...
I think if jo wouldn't have a sister Amy or if she was a single child or if if Laurie was too heart broken to fall in love again or if Jo would have realized a little early then the story might have been different 🤔 🤷. In the end Its all Fate.
I think they were soulmates but not in a romantic way, Jo never loved him enough, she herself couldn’t say that she loved him, she just didn’t wanna be alone, she loved him but not the way he wanted (like a lover) but more like a best friend. In the end Amy was best for him because she truly loved him like Laurie loved her, with Jo its was gonna be an unrequited love, and Amy changed him for good, Joe brought up the child in Laurie but Amy brought the man inside him, that’s why they were perfect for each other despite everything 💕
Classy Sassy YES
Completely agree! Soul mates don’t have to be romantic. Their friendship and connection is beautiful but that doesn’t mean they’re meant for each other romantically.
THANK YOUUU
they are platonic soulmates :)
exactly what i was thinking
I wish they were together :")
I really do too.
You shouldn’t!
Me too 😭😭😭
what movie
@@lexyromero3764 little women...
laurie will never love amy as much as he loved jo. i said what i said
ryl sanchez 1000% agreed and jo will never love freidrich (no way I spelled that right) as much as laurie
Bulma Briefs but Amy loved Laurie and has always remember the garden scene my opinion is that Amy and Laurie were meant for each other but jo and Laurie were always better off as friends because they are so close and like what jo said they wouldn’t work and that would just tear them apart I think but idk I could be wrong🤷🏽♀️🥺
In the book it explained that Laurie wanted to write a play, and he wanted jo to be the heroine, but it said that he couldn’t have any detailed thoughts about her. His love for her had faded, he could only think of amy. I also feel like he knew he wanted to grow old and spend his life with jo, but really not as a husband, as a friend. They are too much alike each other to be great with each other
It’s a different kind of love he feels for Amy. He stopped looking at her as a little girl, he discovered all the good things in her and falled for them. The love between Laurie and Amy is more realistic and mature. So it doesn’t really matter if he feels more or less for one or the other I think, cause it’s just different
Not "as much", but he will never love amy the same way he loved Jo.
The sweetest part between them is that Jo calls him teddy. And no one calls him by that name other than Jo.
And that's what makes them so perfect and deserving for eachother.
“I waited and I never complained because I figured you loved me.” Hits too close to home :/
2:40 THIS TRANSITION
i literaly gASPED
Do you know the song and artist?
Ana Zambrano "falling" by harry styles
I feel sad for Laurie, as Amy said, he now noticed her because Jo rejected him, well, they both hurt each other because they are forcing something that did not happen naturally, it is like pretending that they love each other because there is no other option.
Griselda Martínez no he also said that the love he feels for Amy is different which is romantic because he realizes that the love he felt for jo was a friendship/sister type of love
@@elizabethcuevas3728 I agree Laurie fell in love to early or what he thought was love and jo was lonely and didn’t love him in a romantic way but I feel as with Amy he loves her I’m a different was then he love jo. Some may say jo and Laurie are soulmates but in a friendship way. Either way I love Amy and Laurie together I don’t care what others say. And jo in the movie always wanted to be an strong independent women either way
When Laurie was waking up Jo, I felt the air was heavy and that it's apparent that something has changed. My heart broke during that scene.
"I have been 2nd to Jo my whole life , in everything ." - _Amy_
My immediate reaction was imagining Jo saying the same thing. Just that Jo's version has more meaning .
Jo was the one who was always replaced by amy . Whether it was to the grandmother or to her own sisters . It was always Jo who was replaced not amy and that's even worse that her entire life she was treated worse than her sisters . She was less worthy than her sisters . Why ? Because she was simply being herself
omg yes!
Honestly i think it's ridiculous that amy said that, laurie was JO's best friend, not hers. So why the jealous? In this movie it's like she just wanted him since they met, when she introduces herself and when she is hit by the professor she keeps talking about herself and how she is better than her sister, that cannot possibly be love
This. Although Amy was actually was a good character, Jo really made lots of sacrifices for her family that we cannot discount. When her Dad was sick, Jo sold her hair, the only thing that she and people felt was good in her physical appearance then, to help her ailing father. When Beth was near dying Jo stayed beside her family, while Amy was having a great time with Laurie abroad. Jo shouldered the responsibility of taking care of her mother and father while still grieving, while Amy was away. When Jo wanted that trip to France badly, it was given to Amy. It's just so bad for me. But yeah, maybe Amy only said that because it was rather late that Laurie saw her beyond the brotherly eye.
Exactly!!
I second that.. It hurts me as I see it from Jo's eyes..
i’m bawling my eyes out right now. i wanted them to be together so bad.
Ify
Sameee
I wish Laurie waited for a few days more before marrying amy. He would have got Jo's letter. Reunite with his true love Jo. I feel amy was just a compromise.
Shweta Daroch yeah pretty much.
I don't think it would have been that easy because he feel in love with Amy
Amy is just a rebound for god's sake😅
I think over the years he fell out of love with Jo. Yes, first love is special but doesn't mean that you will never fall in love with someone else again?
It's not about message sending and receiving....he fell in love with amy as a man...he loved jo as a boy....big difference..not saying either love was superior to the other one
I had to shut my ears during the "I'm so lonely" scene bc I makes me so depressed. I've forbidden myself from watching it again
I just noticed that in their childhood Laurie also wears the red/dark blue of Jo’s color palette a lot. Shows that she is a huge part of himself, besides from the constant swapping of vests.
But in the end when Laurie is with Amy his own clothes are lighter gray/light blue, Amy’s color palette.
I don't understand how people don't understand that despite anything and everything, amy should have ATLEAST talked to jo about her & laurie before straight up showing infront of her as man and wife.. she asked jo if it was okay after getting married already? what's the point of that?
Amy is the worst sister imo
The girl made it clear she didn’t love Laurie like that. And if she didn’t have any romantic feelings towards him why should Amy feel the need to check and see if it was ok. That’s like asking my sister if it’s ok to date someone she has already said she doesn’t have romantic feelings for at all.
@@ebonijones3641 no need for excuses.. what could she say? yes i have feelings for him but you're already married? jo is the strongest one and she have to be that way too this time. she played her role and said okay. amy's behaviour is so selfish as always.. she always thinks about herself firstly.
And jo could only say, "life is too short to hate one's sister ".
That’s why I hate Amy so much.
I think that Jo just wanted to make it on her own so much that’s she ignored her feelings for Laurie even though she obviously did love him. Then when it came time that she wasn’t doing great on being on her own and she finally decided to accept her feeling for him but it was too late. No on can tell me that they don’t belong together because they obviously loved each other and Laurie will never love Amy like he loved Jo!!
I think that she tried very hard to love Laurie the same way he loved her but she simply couldn't. She didn't push him to be better and hated the society that Laurie would always be a part of. Laurie, though he loved Joe ver much, didn't push her to be better and did not appreciate her love of writing. At the end, Joe was willing to give in to Laurie's love not because she finally could reciprocate, but because she was lonely. She was so lonely after almost loosing her best friend, loosing her beloved sister, and being away from those that loved her that was willing to lower her standards and give in to a life she would not enjoy to stop feeling that way. In conclusion, their love was one of true friendship, and could never be more.
Finally somebody told the truth!
When Jo writes her love letter to Laurie she says “My dear teddy, I miss you more than I can express. I used to think that the worst fate was to be a wife, I was young and stupid. But now I have changed. The worst fate is to live my life without you in it.” I think Jo finds it hard to express her feelings without going against her believes/ideas about what women should and shouldn’t be in the world. Like when Jo tells her sister Meg that she doesn’t need to get married to John and that she will get bored after 2 years. Later on Jo telling her mum that she is sick of women having their only purpose of to love. Jo realised that women are more than that.

@@boudouroubou9790 Yes! Beauitfully worded.
I think she just wanted to prove that she can be rich and successful without a man. Their aunt always said that you needed to marry a rich man to have a great life. Since Laurie was rich she didn’t want to make it seem like she only wanted him for money. And also other reasons
You did a remarkable job. I love this video. When I was 12 I wished Laurie and Jo had ended up together. I thought they were meant to be. Now that I’m in college I realize they were never meant to be together in marriage. They were platonic soulmates. Laurie thought he was in love but feelings are complicated and many other factors are involved. Jo was able to see that and she knew they weren’t meant to be partners.
the thing is jo always loved laurie in a romantic way she just never realized how much she loved him. and he always loved her.
Saoirse and Timothee have wonderful chemistry.❤️
The fact that jo and teddy didn't even kissed ones, hurts me so bad
that could changed everything
In the musical, they actually do kiss! Twice actually, I think. Jo get’s mad and Laurie storms off ‘cause she rejected him. It’s really sad, but really immature. I think that was the purpose, though, because they were young at the time I think like 18 or 19. Then after Laurie purposes he goes to London with Amy and then Jo leaves for New York. She meets Bhaer and you know… The musical is really a better story in my opinion!

I don’t understand why the comments are filled with Laurie and Amy shippers. This is a beautiful edit and Jo DID love Laurie, she just wasn’t able to admit it to herself and say it out loud because it went against everything she believed in.
Either way, why would you click on a video clearly titled ‘Jo and Laurie’ if you don’t ship them. The negativity is unnecessary and honestly disrespectful when we editors spend such a long time on every edit, just for the comments to be against the ship :/
Soph xoxo I don’t think this edit was really a ship edit, it was more of an edit showcasing their journey, the edit is beautiful and I love it (and I loved the movie so that’s why I clicked on it, even though I am leaning more towards the side of liking Amy and Laurie better) and I don’t think it was negativity or hate the people we’re sending it was them explaining their views and opinions :) have a wonderful day
Completely agree. I think people are forcing this Amy and Laurie ship because the actress that plays Amy is super in favor of it. But i can't make sense of that relationship. I completely agree with you point if view it seems so clear to me. That's the essence of the film. She wanted to be her own women and not be someone's wife that's why she rejected him then. But by the end of the movie you can see that she regrets it but doesn't act on it cause she deeply loves her sister and wants her to be happy
Well I mean it’s not negativity just trying to explain that Laurie and jo had a beautiful relationship but it was platonic when her mom ask fo u love him she couldn’t bring her self to say it because it wasn’t true she wanted things to be the same as they were in the past a past where she was happy and her writing and family were thriving but meg got married Beth got sick and Amy went to Europe now the edit was beautiful and they had a beautiful relationship but they shouldn’t have been together when he says the love I feel for Amy is different he means different as in romantic but he’s always gonna love jo as a best friend
justanotherpersonxo what do you mean when her mom ask do you love him she couldn’t say it because she didn’t she just wanted somethings from the past and to not be lonely she wanted things to stay the same throughout the whole movie but meg got married Beth got sick and Amy left and her writing wasn’t going well she just wanted something to feel the void of loneliness and sadness
@@elizabethcuevas3728 I interpreted as i explained above. I was pretty clear. Be open minded and see it in that perspective. If you can't make sense of it. That's ok too. I tried to make sense of Amy and Laurie's relationship and i just couldn't. But that's me. We can agree to disagree. I understand where you coming from but i can't agree cause i see and interpret the story in a very different way.
The girl I've like for 3 years loves this movie and she's so much like Jo.
And I like a girl for 8 years already😥💔
Woah... Ya'll either need to make a move or move on. The girl will never know if you love her or not, and if she doesn't love you back, then you'll find someone who eventually will. You need closure instead of loving someone for years on years, because that's lonely and painful.
It's the "And i'll watch" for me💔

I ship them in real life too😭
THIIISSS
4:58 one of my favourite scenes of the many little but perfect and important interactions between them showing how closely bonded they are
they wouldve been so perfect as a couple. it hurts me because we never got a chance to see them together :,( their chemistry was so real i really really wish they couldve became something
judith ! There was something magic between them, some spark.. Which was absent between Laurie And amy
they had amazing chemistry, but Jo neede to love him like that and she just didn't want to be alone, it was only later when she truly fell in love
At 2:05 he literally said, "I can't love anyone else Jo. I can only love you."
😢😘
Except your sister
I believe Jo did love Laurie. She just struggled with the idea of getting married and being in love. That's why her character was complicated and different. She firmly believed in staying single because love or marriage isn't the only happy ending a woman deserves. She turned down the love of her life to stand by her beliefs. Later, she realizes it's okay to be in love. She embraces her feelings for Laurie, but by then it was too late.
Laurie's heart will forever belong to Joe..there will always be something genuinely precious and special bond between them..just look how he was keep asking to tell him who just come?!!
2:24-2:48 is my favorite part. The way it hits you is just...masterful.
I'm just going to say one thing then going put away forever I've always loved you
Charlene Rafferty I’ve tried that...it doesn’t work😂😭
The amount of times he runs his face against her in this movie I love it
every time i hear him say “i’ve always loved you” i immediately break down
I HATE Amy in the movie. They never showed any scenes that explained what Laurie loved in her. All we know is that he finds her beautiful. #Jorie
And in the books amy and Laurie are even more forced
I TOTALLY AGREE
I don't hate her (she's a great character imo), but I also wonder the same thing. And then he behaved like such a jerk. Now I feel like he hated to watch the last available March sister get married off because 1) she's beautiful and 2) he was not going to ruin another shot at a March sister, especially as he still hurt from Jo's rejection.
Dr Phil Is My Father ____ FACTS
I think he fell in love with the woman Amy had turned into.
When Laurie was younger Amy was mostly just a little girl with a crush that fawned over him but as a woman she didn't take he's shit (ie. him showing up late to the party drunk after making her wait for him & the 'marriage is different for you then it is for me so don't judge me' scene).
Yes she was beautiful but she was also artistic, honest (it took guts to so openly admit to her insecruities about being just a replacement for Jo & let him know that if that was what he was trying to do then she would have no part in it) smart, cared a lot for her family (she was planning to marry a man she didn't love just to help financially support her family) & a good person (she didn't marry Fredric in the end because she knew it wouldn't be fair to either of them to be in a relationship with someone she didn't really love).
STOP IT DONT MAKE ME CRY
I personally didn’t like Amy’s character
me too
That sounds like a you problem
a n n o y i n g , even when I read the book I didn’t like her
ikr i hated her since what she did with Jo's book, and then after i saw what happened with Laurie "falling in love" with her was just like omg u gotta be kiddingggg
ME TOO
I don't know why I suddenly got so emotional while watching this. And now I'm sobbing like someone just die in the middle of the night for a characters in a movie.
No matter how much they love each other, if a person comes at your wrong time then he/she is a wrong person. Always keep that in mind.
A right person will come at your right time and even if they come at your wrong time, they will never leave or make things more difficult for you
The fact that Jo sacrificed her love just because she thought that beth was in love with him.... (real reason)
Whaaaat??
Wait what please explain this comment
Omg whattt
in the books Beth is very sad and cries a lot (because Beth knows that she is going to die) but Jo thinks that she is sad because Beth is in love with Laurie. Jo suspects that Laurie is very interested in her and leaves for New York to make Laurie forget her. But Beth was never in love with Laurie and he did not forget her. And when she rejects it Beth had not yet told her that the reason for her sadness was that she was going to die, but that Jo found out when Laurie already went to Europe.
Sorry for my english its not well😅
@@angelicasalazar1715 fvck thats so mess up 🥺
When Jo says " But I'm so lonely" that clearly states that she wasn't in love with Teddy, she cared for him, she felt good and peaceful with him but couldn't love him, and I guess most of us are selfish we mistake this feeling of being empty and wanting someone,who love(d) you, back and name it love. Jo didn't, she wasn't selfish.
And at the same time I feel so sorry for Amy, because I still don't understand if Laurie really loved Amy , I mean I know he loves her, but was it more than his love for Jo? And yet again idk if he really loved Jo or not , or was it a result of feeling good with her...
When Jo writes her love letter to Laurie she says “My dear teddy, I miss you more than I can express. I used to think that the worst fate was to be a wife, I was young and stupid. But now I have changed. The worst fate is to live my life without you in it.” I think Jo finds it hard to express her feelings without going against her believes/ideas about what women should and shouldn’t be in the world. Like when Jo tells her sister Meg that she doesn’t need to get married to John and that she will get bored after 2 years. Later on Jo telling her mum that she is sick of women having their only purpose of to love. Jo realised that women are more than that. To all the people saying Jo felt ‘lonely’ and needed to fill a void that’s why she confesses to Laurie her love that was not the reason. When Jo left to go to New York she left her sisters behind. And when her sister Beth got sick she came back in a heart beat. Stopping everything that she was doing her dreams and ambition for her sister. When her sister Amy burned her papers Jo got angry at Amy and even said she will never ever forgive her and then when her sister nearly drowned she went back to talking to her in a heart beat realising that her sister was more important. Similarly as soon as she rejects Laurie she kept writing to him but he was the one that was not answering to her letters. Jo truly did care for him. She just didn’t have herself figured out yet. Jo thought a women cannot marry and pursue her dreams at the same time in the end she realises she can when she marries the professor. She realises this before however and wanted to tell Laurie by confessing to him through the letter but it was to late. Jo wanted it to be Laurie that she marries. Jo even admitted to her mum that when she gets angry her anger can blind her. Like when she rejected Laurie because of her anger blinding her to thinking women should be independent and never married, but she doesn’t realise women can be both. Jo is a strong willed character who refuses to back down but then she does on all of these occasions she does it for the people that she loves. She did that when she rejected Laurie. She was angry because she had dreams she wanted to pursue and marriage was not on her radar back then. However after loosing her sister for good this time she realises the mistake she made rejecting Laurie. She realises death is her worse enemy and it can come in the way of things even when she thinks she is in control. She steers the wheel of her life, she is independent, unmarried, in New York writing doing everything she ever wanted but death still has a way of ruining things. When she comes to this realisation she cannot bear to loose Laurie in the same way without telling him how she truly feels. Because Jo finally realises that the love she holds for him is greater than whatever it is she wanted to do as a single women.
I dunno, I feel like jo and laurie have always and will always love each other in unique way, albiet not a romantic way. For their whole childhood, Laurie expected and wanted it to be romantic, but I think for Jo it never was.
In the scene where she's regretting rejecting Laurie, it clearly comes form a place of wanting to be loved, and she feels terrible for hurting Laurie. Not because her love for Laurie is romantic.
As for her letter, it's true: she does want to have him in her life. She also wants to mend things between them and not cause him any more pain as she does truly love him like a brother. But I still think even as she wishes she didn't reject him, it's not from a romantic love.
And perhaps after that rejection, Laurie needed the space to find out who he was apart from Jo. Maybe he realized Amy is who he truly needed all along. Maybe his love for her wasn't childish like it was with Jo, maybe it was more mature as he got to know the grown up version of Amy, who was not the little girl she had been. I dunno, I don't rly like their relationship at all, but I think (or hope lol) that the love between Amy and Laurie is more husband-wife love.
Meanwhile, Jo and Laurie's bond is deep and strong.
No entendiste
This story is so bittersweet & beautifully heartbreaking. I cry every time😅
i just realized that i dont just ship jo and laurie but also Timothee and Saoirse
Jo is strong willed, independent, never gave up on her dreams and always cared deeply for her family. Laurie is jealous in the end asking about Friedrich, he clearly has a soft spot for her. And we never got to see what would Laurie do after he got the letter so i honestly believe he still loved her, as just few weeks before he proposed to Amy, Laurie talked about Jo's ring that he was still wearing to Amy. He couldn't have fell in love with Amy just after some weeks after wearing that ring for a long time. I honestly believe he married Amy just to see Jo often as he realised he wouldn't get Jo.
You seem like the person who would prefer Ted & Robin ending over Barny & Robin's.
In himym.
Are you? 🤔
I personally think Jo and Laurie are soulmates, just not in a romantic way.
Amy and Laurie fit better together romantically because they both suited each other so well. Jo wrote the letter to Laurie because she just didn’t want to be lonely, and she loved him just not in that way. Amy and Laurie are good for each other, and same with Jo and Frederic. Their relationship is so beautiful.
she just needed time to understand it, but this 'time' got Laurie to end with Amy.... gonna cry in the club
They were the pure meaning of a platonic relationship
Exactly
Every time I watch this video I’m on the verge of tears, yet I still watch it over and over again
THAT’S WHAT I CALL “THE GREATEST LOVE STORY” that fell into ruins
The fact that Jo's son was named Teddy made me felt that Jo really valued and treasured Laure that much. ❤😢
It hurts so much!!! 😭
They should have ended up together but I knew they wouldn't 😭
Don't know what kind of spirit got me to watch this emotional video again
At first, I thought Amy’s love for Laurie was very wrong. Not just because of the age difference, but cause she didn’t have the first crush before. But this adaptation turned my consciousness. Jo, who rejects Laurie because she just can’t love him the way he wants her to; Laurie, who thinks he’s disgusting, that he isn’t good enough and now he should just destroy himself; Amy, who refuses to marry Fred because she doesn’t love him the way she should; finally, the way they fall in love with each other either. How they notice they are similar, and Amy shows Laurie that she has respect for herself and for him too, so she won’t be Jo’s replacement for his broken heart. It was very meaningful. I cried when Laurie proposed to Jo, I cried when Beth died, but this moment when Laurie kissed Amy... It was one of the strongest scene of the film. Little women mean so much to me and it's been a huge part of my childhood.
I just finished the book and stumbled upon this video. Everybody knows the emotional emptiness you feel after finishing a good book. I very rarely get emotional over fiction but this video brought me into tears. And I loved every second of it! I don't usually leave comments here on UA-cam but this time I felt like I had to. Really beautifully done!
Man, no one will ever love her like he did. And he never would have tried to squash her ambitions. He would have pushed her to be better and accomplish everything she dreamed of. I don't think that he wanted to marry her to control her, he wanted to marry her to love and support her truly.
This movie was recommended to me by a friend because she said I am so much like Jo. And honestly, I so much see myself in her. I hate to admit to a person that I'm in love with him coz it would go against my belief that I hate marriage. But then, after turning down, it would just me feeling hurt of what i did. Specially when that guy started to fall for another girl.
god this is so incredible. this pairing is literally the definition of right person wrong time and it makes me SOB
this movie makes me cry and smile so much it's crazy, it's like i'm *unhappily content* with how it ended, and i know those words contradict each other, but that's the only way i can explain it. i'd watch it over and over just to cry my eyes out each time.
That wordless head shake by Laurie right before he declares himself is everything! It's what makes him amazing!
their friendship is amazing
"... and I'll watch"
it gets me every. single. time. goddamit laurie
I feel like my heart is being ripped out just watching this 😭❤️
honeslty jo and laurie are meant to be and before everyone comes at me im sick of tired hearing that jo and laurie would never make sense because in my eyes it did. The joy was the real, the happiness was real and so was the love. Amy and him just seemed like that "perfect" couple whilst it didn't seem real. Amy might be his "love of her life" but jo was his soulmate
I really wished they got together in the movies too😭
@@ainslay386 why would they tho? its just an important part that jo doesn't end up with laurie so why would they change it?
The most heartbreaking friendship of all time.
I read the book when I was twelve. I'm nineteen now and still angry that these two cookie didn't get together 😭😭love from Greece
i keep coming back to this video whenever i want to cry. It works
i believe teddy will always love joe more than he ever loved amy.
FR
Me too
I don't think so
@@s_semo
Me too
Hmmm…
this honestly broke my heart that they didn’t end up together 😭🥺
not me fully crying over this even though I haven't seen this movie since it came out
