Description

Meanwhile, in New York, Jo became acquainted with Professor Friedrich Bhaer, who is taken by her writing (if sometimes harshly critical). When he is dismissive of something she wrote, Jo takes it personally and walks away from New York with bruised feelings. Later on, Professor Friedrich visits the March residence, and it is at this time that it becomes clear to the March family (and eventually Jo) that they have deep feelings for one another. If you are not as familiar with the story, particularly in the early moments, you might be a little confused with who the characters are and what their established history is with the other characters. Nevertheless, as the story unfolds, it should be clear who they are, what they have done, and why they feel the way they feel in the flash-forward segments of this timeless tale. Little Women is a story that can be enjoyed by audiences of all ages and audiences from any age. In the book, Jo and the Professor do open their school, but it's a school for boys (that later includes some girls, including family members and orphans). Greta Gerwig's adaptation of Little Women focuses much more on modern-day views of feminism and the school opened in the movie is meant to help girls to get a better education -- one that won't include corporal punishment, as Amy is subjected to earlier in the movie.

Shortly after these two devastating events, Jo begins writing her biggest project yet: a novel, semi-autobiographical, that is inspired in part by her childhood and her relationship with her sisters. It will serve as a way to honor her late sister, as well as a way to make peace her with fading childhood. Eventually, Jo sends the beginning of her book to a publisher, who is initially hesitant about the book, but decides to go forward with it when his own children become enchanted by it. Ultimately, in terms of the story itself, Greta Gerwig's Little Women is mostly similar to the book. The plot beats — particularly the big ones — are very much like what happens in Louisa May Alcott's beloved book, but the structure is different. This movie adaptation ultimately takes on more of a non-linear structure, which allows the characters to reflect on their pasts while growing into their adulthoods. Therefore, more time is spent on the adult lives of the March family than other adaptations of Little Women, which gives this new film a sense of reflection that adds to the adaptation's themes.

While the movie itself is rather straightforward, its non-linear storyline might raise a few questions for certain audiences. Even if you are a die-hard fan of Little Women, you will see a few changes that you have never seen in an adaptation of Little Women before. For those audience members who have not kept up with the literary hallmark or seen other movies based on the material, questions could abound.

Naturally, when you make an adaptation, you have creative license to play with the story. Some filmmakers obviously take more liberties than others, and there are certainly many scenarios in which the changes made to the material are for the worst rather than for the better. Nevertheless, while screenwriter/director Greta Gerwig made significant changes to the overall structure of Little Women, both the story and the characters are similar. verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ I'm guessing we shouldn't expect Greta Gerwig's Little Women to be the last version of the popular Louisa May Alcott story. Nevertheless, it is the latest version, and while there are certainly a few key changes, the components have remained the same for generations upon generations, and that is not likely to change at any point. Or, at least, it probably shouldn't change, for there is a good reason why this story resonates with audiences of all ages and generations. In addition, the ending of the story is similar in both the book and the newest film adaptation is fairly, but the journey to that finale is ultimately different and a lot of the details change. For example, in the movie, Jo very on-the-nose writes her own version of Little Women, which is ultimately published by the same publisher who published her "trash stories" previously. She doesn't want her main character to marry in her book, but that same publisher pushes for that character to get married, in a move that mirrors what happens with Jo and the Professor. Jo also has to be egged by her family to go after the professor in the movie.
