#Little women film movie#
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. 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). Jo also has to be egged by her family to go after the professor in the movie. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
Ultimately, in terms of the story itself, Greta Gerwig's Little Women is mostly similar to the book. Is The Ending Of Little Women Similar Or Different To The Book? We see Jo holding a newly-printed copy of her novel, Little Women and later her and her siblings putting their hearts and souls into the new school. Jo gets the copyright to her book while also being bestowed the expansive house of Aunt March (Meryl Streep), where she wants to build a school for girls. 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.Īlthough Jo has to be egged on by the other Marches a bit, it is not long before they profess their feelings and cement their relationship. When he is dismissive of something she wrote, Jo takes it personally and walks away from New York with bruised feelings. Meanwhile, in New York, Jo became acquainted with Professor Friedrich Bhaer, who is taken by her writing (if sometimes harshly critical). 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. It will serve as a way to honor her late sister, as well as a way to make peace her with fading childhood. 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. Additionally, despite a good fight, Beth is taken by her earlier disease and dies. Eventually, Jo doesn't want to be lonely and begins to believe that Laurie might be the man for her however, it is revealed in Little Women that Amy and Laurie have gotten married. Upon hearing the news of Beth's declining health, Jo returns to her hometown, where she is re-acquainted with her family and finds herself flooded with memories of her past. March’s love for her daughters is consistently upheld as an ideal that the March girls long to achieve both in their romantic lives and in themselves when they go on to become mothers.What Happens At The End Of Little Women Movie (2019) Working in tandem with this notion of romantic love is the notion of familial love – motherly love in particular. By the end of Part 2, all of the March girls (with the exception of Beth) have found their way to true love. (These plays can be seen as a reflection of the way romantic love was viewed in the 19th century – they represent an ideal that even Jo aspires to, even if she chafes against conventional femininity.) Laurie, the rich boy next door, offers Jo her first lessons in love, and helps her come to better understand what she’s looking for in a successful marriage. The girls’ idealized notions of romantic love are embodied in Jo’s picaresque plays, in which swooning damsels find true love in spite of their hardships. The book can be seen as a record of the March girls’ progression from an innocent, idealized vision of love to a more complex, worldly understanding of it by the end of the novel. In Little Women, the March girls learn about the importance of love, both familial and romantic.
