"the new hot thing is little women videos" OH GOD LET THIS PROPHECY COME TRUE

The fact that Matt's section isn't called "RugRants" frustrates me no end.

That shot of the movie where Jo is handed the book and the book is visible behind the literally orange tinted glass while she is not and it splits the whole frame vertically in half orange to blue is great.
Also very on the nose.

I feel compelled to say thank you for this!!
I have so many guy friends who refused to watch this movie cause it was for girls. They would watched Parasite and Uncut Gems and sing their praises. And I love those movies too; but I can't take someone seriously when they just disregard a movie completely because its about women.

To me greta gerwig confirmed she's a genius with this adaptation .
I can't want for the barbie movie (never thought I'd say that in my life)

Thank you. Not sure why anyone felt the timelines were confusing.

Glad to see that Charl toned done his language this week. Last episode it was passionate but went to far. It is a hard time Charl so we forgive you. Stay safe and stick to who you are.

I feel like you kind of skimmed over a really important part of Jo's arc in the Gerwig adaptation by cutting off the end of her "marriage isn't all a woman is fit for" monologue: the part where she says she's lonely. THAT'S the line that really hits me every time I watch the movie.

I loved the video but just one minor thing, laurie doesn't marry amy because he can't have jo, in the novel his feelings actually shift and he realizes that he loved jo as a sister and that his feelings for Amy were just as strong but completely different. Jo herself says so in the movie and only rethinks her refusal of the proposal when she starts to feel lonely but quickly realizes that just because she wants to be loved doesn't mean she loves laurie

“Why dramatically restructure a classic, beloved work of literature?”

I keep thinking of BeKindRewind's video of "Comparing Every Version of Little Women." Where she covers what each version brought/added/changed especially in reflection the times it was made. But, also explained why the book ended the way it did.

Pat is going stir crazy and it's causing him to put out more content than normal.

I'm impressed that Pat was able to find a place that maintained the same lighting for the hours and hours, even days, it would take for a reading montage like that

Great job, but a point I'm surprised you didn't touch on was how leaning further into the 2nd half of the book than the other adaptations balances the perspectives of the sisters the way most of the other adaptations didn't and it finally gives Amy her due. Since Jo is generally the fan favorite, her story and character receive more priority and attention over the other sisters in adaptation. Meg usually just kind of goes away after her wedding and Amy ends up being the bratty sister that viewers and readers dislike because of her bratty behavior as a kid and undercutting the Jo and Laurie romance. Expanding Amy's and Beth's arcs as adults finally balances the scale and forces us to look closer at the stories gender politics. Amy didn't marry Laurie because she wanted to spite Jo, she did it because financially, her family needed a lifeline and Jo was certainly not going to go that route.

I didn't know that the timeline was confusing to some until I watched this video, and that reminded me of a personal anecdote that still baffles me to this day.
I saw "Saving Mr. Banks" in the theater with a guy I was dating at the time. The bulk of the film cuts between P.L. Travers in Los Angeles during the development of "Mary Poppins" and flashbacks of her childhood (and much like "Little Women," the transitions between the timelines and the visual differences differentiating the two are incredibly obvious). More than halfway through the runtime, during one of the flashback scenes, my date leaned over and asked, "Why do they keep showing this family? Who are these other people supposed to be?"
I still have no idea how I held back from laughing and/or slamming my head onto the armrest.

Never read "Little Woman" or heard of it by the way - it is not that big of a thing in Germany I guess - but I was really blown away by Gerwigs adaption and now to find out that the non-chronological timeline and the doubled ending was added by Gerwig makes me appreciate the movie even more.
45 |
I think you really hit the nail on the head Patrick - this pretty much confirms for me why Gerwig's Little Women is, at least to me, the best adaptation of *any* source material I've ever seen. Adaptations shouldn't just be about copy-and-pasting the source material into a new medium, but re-working it and making them sing in the new medium and for a new crop of audiences. And Gerwig DID that!

This is the first adaptation that make me not only like Amy but love her to the point where I have v strong emotions about her and Laurie.
Rugrats in Paris is better than the first Rugrats movie, IMO
