laurie: we look like a couple
jo: a couple of besties
That had to hurt
Rly? I thought it was funny lol
damn 😭💀
Thats a very good reference from Noah and Dixie lmao
I get Dixie d’améliorable vibes lol 😂
"I can't say yes truly so I'm not going to say it at all." Stunning
hi ! i've just posted my fan made video of jo and laurie !
if you want check it out. remember watch it with quality 1080 p
This is my UwU thanks it means a lot for me
Does anyone know where to watch the movie ?
@hoeney7815 its in netflix
And brave! ☝️^^
Its so odd how you can love someone so deeply but that feeling just isn’t reciprocated. Like something is missing for them. Idk if anything is more heartbreaking than that.
❤
Im experiencing it right now. It truly is heartbreaking
@Slow_Internet I'm with you bro, same with you I never loved someone like her but to think that she still wouldn't care for me... it really is heart breaking
@Slow_Internet been experiencing it for the last 9 years. I still am not over her
Same. I've been in love with my best friend for years. But as much as he loves me, he is not now nor will he ever be in love with me. Hurts so much.
Fun fact: Him interrupting Jo and saying 'i love you' twice was not on the script-
I cried
Ohhh boy
so it's time to cry huh
Really??
O JjshsjjeSJSJJSJSSJ
WAIT WHAT SJSUJSOWKAMS
Coronavirus can't kill me because i died the day Jo rejected Laurie
Same✌🏻
When I watched the movie for the first time I cried during this scene🙁
I watched the movie 30 minutes ago and I can’t stop crying.
I died when 1995 Jo (Winona Ryder) rejected 1995 Laurie (Christian Bale), and I died again now.
I just can't over it why she rejected him
They both have PERFECT hair in this scene
Randy Whitehead Right!
Hahahaha🤣😂 definatly
So true
Fr💀
So true
when she says ‘except that’ at 2:39 and he turns with that glimmer of hope….Always gets me
Aw man IT'S SO SAD 😭😭😭
I believe the director told him to turn with the last glimmer of hope in his eyes ~ and then disappointment ~ too which Timothée Chalamet added the little nod ~ which the director loved.
@hegstad9 awh
@hegstad9 Yes! And then after the turn and nod you just see all the hope leave him for the last time 😭
And then he realizes it not what he hoped for you see his body language shift again to hopeless
I love how she understood it by just looking at Laurie without even saying what he mean to say.
Exactly, that part drives me crazy!!
cause they're soulmates 🥺
Same. It reminded me of when oliver said something along "are you saying what I'm thinking?" in cmbyn. Both understood without actually saying anything.
I believe it is because a woman always knows! ...espicially when a guy looks at her with those looks
Because Laurie looked thirsty af lol
Greta Gerwig broke my heart when she described this scene as “Laurie and Jo leaving childhood, and Laurie spent his childhood with Jo, and he doesn’t want to leave it without her”
Legit feel like Laurie right now
AHHHHH that hurt my heart
i felt the ache physically.. 😭
ok but please stop
Ahh 💔
the fact that teddy was the one who said “and i’ll watch” but jo ended up watching
i did not ask to be hurt like this
Oh
U didn't have to say that😭
this comment hurt deep in my soul
why would you-😭
2:40 the sparkle of the hope in his eyes my god this is heartbreaking
That cinematography strongly evokes a painting.
Greta gerwig was trying to make it represent a painting
The facial features of the actors surely helps a ton though...
An Ok movie with a mediocre performance from Timothee Chalamet!
hi ! i've just posted my fan made video of jo and laurie !
if you want check it out. remember watch it with quality 1080 p
"I'm homely and I'm awkward and I'm odd-"
"I love you Jo"
"And you'd be ashamed of me-"
"I love you Jo"
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
the two i love you jo” lines were improvised by timothée & weren’t in the script, it kills me
:( I love him
I love your profile picture
@h.j.6976 P&P reference??? Mannnn
😭😭😭😭😭😭
When he said " and I'll watch " but it ends up being her who was watching, that got me so bad
YES
Christian Bale’s Laurie said the exact same thing
Juliet Hounsell Yeah Christians interpretation was more angsty whereas Timothee was gentle and sad, both fantastic
He also ends up watching her being happy with the tutor from NY
Yeah I wanted Laurie and Jo to be together so badddddd😭😭😭😭
him interrupting her and saying “i love you jo” when she lists everything that is “wrong” with her kills me every time
It’s the most accurate when a girl tells a guy how much flawed they are and the guy just keeps on saying it... well I did it before watching this so... maybe it’s just me
yeees omg :((
Think this has to be up there as one of my fav movie scenes, acting is stunning, ♥️ this film ♥️
The bit the gets me is when he says "and I'll watch" 💔
same.... i just... cant...
The whole scene is heartbreaking, but what really gets me is the little head shake at 0:20
He knows she doesn't want to have that conversation, and he knows he can't go on without having it.
A small detail, but it's so brilliant!
The way he shook his head reminded me of the mannerisms of Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker!
It's written so well in the book.
That's right 👍🏻
@LaraTangshut up i was literally like is it just me or is he giving andrew garfield rn
He’s like resigned in a way. That it has to be done. It cannot be ignored anymore.
i’m literally obsessed with this scene when he says “and i’ll watch” AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH
*Literally breathtaking, I just watched this and thought the same thing* 💙
But she watched him instead...
sameeeeeeeee
@imthepeachfromcmbyn798 YOU’RE HURTING ME NOOO
Hiya! Hoario. What's the problem? I love you, Captain.🥰
The way poor Laurie turns around eagerly when Jo says “except that..” breaks my heart, because he’s still hoping that she’s gonna say yes.
yea its really heartbreaking
time stamp?
@claudiaparra6860 2:39
@lindsey2432 pain😔
I always saw that part as if he turn back so keep receiving all the pain. Like affronting she her denial. I think he had already lose the hope :(
The cinematography is breathtaking.
This movie is breathtaking on literally every conceivable level.
It alright
It's all thanks to the amazing director Greta Gerwig
@lizr2728 - You mean DP Yorick Le Saux?
Roger Kincaid must have never seen blade runner.
Jo is just being honest to him. I love how she explains it, turning him down but encouraging him at the same time finding someone better.
And teddy's love isnt that even great because he fall for other girl that easily.
@LaaNa-eq5hc He has to move on eventually else he could literally go insane from that kind of love after years
I agree and i do understand that moment verry well, cause i' ve been in that position....Jo being most honest, she couldn be doing him a biger favour
I can see your point...I also think Jo's right to be honest. But...being encouraged that you can find someone else better by the one you deeply love....I don't know...that kind of feeling hurts a lot. If I were Teddy, I would feel the more she said, the more painful feeling her words caused. I probably would only hope that Jo could say no more after giving her rejection and just let me be alone, crying as much as I wish so as to let time heal me.
@LaaNa-eq5hc easily? He fell for Amy 7 YEARS later lol
Weirdly enough, this is probably my favorite proposal scene because even though they walk away hurt, a hurtful word is never spoken between them about the other. In fact they go out of their way to insist to each other that they'll find someone to love because they hold each other in such high regard.
Never seen this movie. Where is his British accent? He’s not convincing me that his character is from whatever time period that is
@liz5473 they are in 1860s america
I agree with you this is my favorite scene also!!! In my opinion this scene is better than the Winona Rider and Christian Bale’s Jo and Laurie proposal scene in the 90’s version of Little Women!!
hi ! i've just posted my fan made video of jo and laurie !
if you want check it out. remember watch it with quality 1080 p
@liz5473 it's the late 1860s early 1870s after the american civil war. Around the Lincoln assassination/ reconstruction era
The pause that he gives in the sentence "Say yes...and let's be happy together'' makes me think of how simple the situation is in his head.
I always thought that it was awkward, as if he wasn’t really sure himself what comes after
I think he always thought that she was in love with him too and that it was just a matter of time, but that maybe she was just too scared to take that leap. Whereas he had no problem just going for it and accepting it if it doesn't work out, she just didn't want to risk their friendship
What's complicated about it? When it's simply Love??
@gfdsa2866 Unfortunately the feeling isn't mutual
@gfdsa2866 hah! I would wish love was that easy!
Falling in love is easy ..... because of all the hormones.
Being in love is hard it takes work and commitment and sacrifice . The amount which you would only be willing to give and suffer for if you had a solid reason- true unconditional love, which is not present here, it's just friendship and respect .Jo understands that but you and Lauri don't
Timothee Chalamet has some crazy anime hair in this scene and I love it lol. Beautiful scene, beautiful movie.
Perfect way to describe. Hahaha
My only problem with him is that he didn't seem to age the same way the girls did throughout the movie
Karson Million very true.
@karson_haidi No one really seemed to age at all imo lol 😆
Nessie Jr I almost busted out loud laughing but you’re right “crazy anime hair” 😂 I love it!!!
3:04 And I will watch…
My daily routine:
1. Reread this chapter
2. Rewatch this scene
3. Recry
its My first time reading, just out of curiosity which chapt is it?
@danielaraetta8345 “good wives”, chapter 12
@aubegrey5645 thanksss
@danielaraetta8345 💫🌹
Samee
The acting is so good. That slight lean in for a kiss at 1:41 and jo pushing him away as she continues talking. This scene kills me
Yeah, perfectly done! 😪😪
YES
Originally, the supposed to kiss but Greta made it better in this version. It really kills :(
That was perfect 👌
Details 💓
'I can't love anyone else Jo, I only love you"
*Proposes to Amy
This confused my emotions and brains beyond belief😂😂
Watching it happen then in the very next scene he sees jo with another man and still looks so hurt you know it was to try to replace her not loving Amy as she is
@SaraH-jn5db in reality, Laurie does love Amy. They can't say everything that's in the two book of Little Women in a two hours film lmao. In the end, Amy loves Laurie and he loves her
It's hard to tell in the movie but in the books years had past in between Laurie getting rejected by Jo and pursuing Amy. Not to mention that he was still pretty young, eighteen or nineteen I believe, so he was probably being an overdramatic teenager when he said he would never love another.
@beatriceausten2791 exactly. the movie is good but sometimes they've mess up things like che scene avere Beth gets the piano but okay
I love how she lists all her flaws and all he responds with is "I love you Jo"
which reflects their characters at this point in the story perfectly. he's acting on a whim, not really listening to her. and she's being more centered & objective on why they're a terrible match.
all in all, they don't work together because they're far too similar.
@4rtsyval They were perfect match
@PixelPhantom7ify for best friends? sure! but as lovers? partners? nope
they both wanted very different things in life. jo wanted to live out her life outside of societal expectations out of her OWN conviction-laurie wanted and did that out ouf rebelling and not wishing to live under his grandfather's shadow, no true, substantial purpose behind his actions.
this would've clashed and it did, as you can see here. laurie is acting rashly and on a whim, while jo is thinking miles ahead of him before he even truly says anything.
“ if the main character is a female, she has to be married or die”
Jo: haha no
She did.. get married tho I think I mean she found love at the end
@medhavikasini yea. I think the writer wanted to convey that its ok to love and settle down. Your life doesn't have to be a political statement or representation of normalizing stigmas.
@blehh010 actually, you’re wrong. The only reason why Jo got married at the end was because the author’s publisher told her that if the protagonist is female, she has to make the female character get married at the end. The author always wanted her to remain single without marriage being the ultimate goal but changed it because of the pressure concerning women at that time. Look it up.
@jaxonrangerdiesel6406 yes, and that actually ruined the book for me. As a young girl I was always disappointed that she married Friedrich. As a woman now, I can probably understand it better, but it's a book for young girls after all...
Did she get married in the series? Cause in the book she did. She married friedrick the german professor.
no one:
jo: BESTIE VIBES ONLY, BESTIE VIBES ONLY, BESTIE VIBES ONLY
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA BESTIE PLZZZZZZZZ
OUTTA POCKET
LMAOAOAOSKKFHDJS
LMAOAOAOAOAOOAO YOO
LOLOLOLOL
I almost cried because of how intense it felt when Laurie confessed his feelings for her and he felt her about to push him away. When he kept telling her he loved her, I was...feeling too many emotions to even express how I felt watching this scene
You sum up exactly what I felt at the theatre ! I also almost cried, there were so many emotions going on
its ik sad to say i was actually balling, he loved her so much to get let down , and the fact that they didn't have a happily ever after together tore me apart. Though at the end all the loose strings were tied im still a little bit sad
Kennedy Evans I did cry
PRECISELY
Kennedy Evans and at 2:35 or so she said there was something else and he nodded hoping that she changes her mind😔😍
him trying to kiss her and she backs away so fast so he just gives up kills me everytime 01:40
I NOTICED THIS TOO 😭😭
"and I'll watch" that pause he made before saying this made this scene perfect
And he did. Near the end of the movie when Amy told Jo she's in love with the professor
The open grass field they’re in, them both arguing, the wind going by fast, the yellow Jo’s wearing, and the messy hair portrays childhood so obviously yet it’s such a hidden detail. I love it so much
Also the fact that the vest that Jo is wearing was worn by Laurie in another scene where Jo jokingly get down on one knee and offers Laurie the ring that he then wears on his left ring finger for a good part of the rest of the movie
A hot lrish girl ..
Not me crying over this DETAIL
@Daisyviolettbeauty
Me neither . she's hot .lol .
This scene alone wins it for me. It always annoyed me how in the other versions the proposal scene is always so peaceful, with Jo just calmly trying to reason with Teddy. In this one they let them quarrel and you can truly tell how desperate he is to be with her and how desperately she is trying to show him that she doesn’t want that.
They’re actually fighting and I love that for some reason lol
The reason i like it better is because it shows more passion, whereas if they were more calm it wouldn’t feel as realistic or as heartbreaking, it feels as if they care more in this version.
I absolutely agree! Although I have loved the other version the direction of the whole movie was superb for even first-time watchers in understanding the end and how each character revealed themselves, worthy of how they ended up with. This scene, was beautifully and more captivatingly portrayed than other versions, the fighting, the desperation of Laurie, and Jo's insistent rambling trying to explain herself. It all just captured the very moment as it should be. The cinematography is also swelled, it easily became a part of my list of movie adaptations worth rewatching.
It's a modern scene... very modern... we see movement, feeling, touch... in the other versions it is everything calm and surreal...
1933 and 1949 Jo reiects Laurie embrace him 😳
In 1994 Laurie Kisses Jo 😳
Here they are more realistic...
She reiects him...
He becomes furios and sad...
They make higher their voice tone screaming... Realistic!!
she is sad too because don't love him as a lover but love him the same as an important person in her life (a soulmate without being her boyfriend) and don't want to miss him...
CHAPEAU Saoirse and Timothé
Because the other scene had this passive aggressiveness that just... sucks!
Because it's a more realistic portrayal of the human condition
2:10 I like this part because it shows that she's thought about it, but couldn't picture them having a life together. The fact that he only had to look at her and she knew, means it was always in the back of her mind but she didn't want to face the truth.
Why can’t Timmy and Saoirse ever be in a movie where they finally just end up together? Seriously, their chemistry together is just so beautiful!
Because the feelings for each over are not neutral
I meant mutual
Because that didn’t happen in the book....
Exactly, if not in the original book why ruin it the movie.
I need
Lady bird : *Timothée rejects Saoirse*
Little women : *Timothée gets rejected by Saoirse*
Me : what next?
THEY WILL NEVER END IN A MOVIE TOGETHER I THINK...
What’s next is that Greta will forbid them from getting together
Saoirse is actually attracted to girls - Ammonite.😂
They’ll be true lovers in the next one.
Saoirse and Timothée get together...?
To this date I don't know how Timothee didn't get nominated for best supporting actor at the Oscars for this.
the male category is always dominated by older actors for some reason
@heatherbukowski2102 Damn
Because he's not that good
@helens1016 wait, why? i thought this scene was amazing?
@alisiofficial He performed well, and he was once nominated for an Oscar for Call Me By Your Name. But this just wasn't his best work in my opinion. Saoirse was nominated for her performance here which I think was absolutely deserved. She truly outshined him in this. It almost makes you feel bad for Chalamet, lol.
“I love my liberty too well to be in any hurry to give it up.” Ugh. I feel that! But I also feel Laurie’s heartbreak. This scene forever just hits me right in all the feels every time.
The funny thing is. She loves being free. And I don't think Laurie would have ever pushed her to give up the things she enjoyed. I get that she didn't love him. But in my opinion, it didn't make sense that she'd end up with the teacher dude either. Laurie, out of anyone in the world, would understand her personality and prospects and would be the one to support them.
@kelgirl99 I thought she was called Laurie and he was called joe, wow
@Real David Jones No. His hame is Theodore Lawrence, so all the girls call him Laurie. And Jo's name is short for Josephine.
@kelgirl99 thank you :)
Laurie should have given Jo a few years to enjoy her early adulthood freedom and then asked her when she was 23 years old and he would have got a different answer. Laurie wanted to take his playmate into adulthood with him.
Bruh imagine be able to be in a love story with Timothee TWICE
Whats the other one!?
@violet-ut6hg oo thanks
@Hermione Lovegood if i were a boy i would definitely love that
Dishita Gupta im a girl and i love her and timmy
@Hermione Lovegood Saoirse Ronan is very beautiful and crazy talented. Too bad in every time she appears on screen they can only ask the pronunciation of her name.
imagine being as attractive as Timothee but still got rejected. rip me
if he gets rejected... what can WE expect
Not everything is about looks. You can't love someone just because of their beauty
And that’s on David Dobrik and Madison Beer but Timothée is Madison
@10ksubsbeforeschoolstarts63 Omg yes
hi ! i've just posted my fan made video of jo and laurie !
if you want check it out. remember watch it with quality 1080 p
1:41 Notice how Laurie leaned for a kiss but Jo kinda pushed back.. man that must’ve hurt.
Mark Christian he’s even staring right at her lips :/
FR 😔
Kudos to Jo March. I couldn't turn down all of that.
LOL I never noticed that... great eyes you have
Why is everyone only talking about Timmy? Clearly Jo wasn’t ready in this scene and I admire that she held onto what she felt and rejected him instead of giving in, especially in a society that pressures women into marriage.
You can still love someone and not want or be in a relationship with them. That’s what makes this scene so powerful.
Nope
Never happened to me.
Definitely not
true
It's called ✨platonic love✨
Jo loved and cared for laurie but was never "in love" him.
I wonder if the camera angle was intentional. They’re standing on a hill so it will seem like one has the high ground and the other appears smaller. In the beginning of the scene Laurie is in the “smaller” position because he is confessing his feelings and being vulnerable, but when Jo speaks truthfully about her probably never getting married, Laurie appears to have the high ground and walks away leaving Jo at a low point. Maybe I analyze to much but I thought it was cool
nice
Omg your the only person who analyzes moves like me!!
@michelleespinal11 lmao no, there are plenty of people who analyze movies
i will send this to my ELA teacher
woah-
i never forget how jo always knew laurie secretly loved her. and she always hoped that he wouldn’t bring it up- and she wanted to love him back but couldn’t
he loved her too early.
she loved him too late.
:(
No. He had a crush on her and she never loved him as anything more than a friend or brother.
Honestly it was kind of complicated I don’t think she ever really loved him in the way he claimed to love her...in the end she said she regretted not saying yes to him and when the mom asked if she loved him she couldn’t say she did..all she said is she wanted to be loved by someone and could learn to love him in that way and her mom responded then that’s not love. She was lonely and felt like she had lost her best friend and then later on found out her LITTLE SISTER married someone who was like her soul mater (not a romantic soul mate) which crushed her.
@kawaiipopsimmer542 you worded that so perfectly
she never loved him she was just lonely
@elanalewis3065 true
2:16 I love you Jo after she names what “wrong” with her 💔😔
The movie is almost identical with the book in this scene
Could u tell me where is this place in real ?
Karisa Love I think they actually shot it in Massachusetts but I’m not sure
Karisa Love they shot it in Massachusetts this specific view I’m not sure where but some were in Boston and some in Cambridge
Ana Alves I was reading the chapter the other day... the main difference is that Laurie thinks she’s really in love with Friedrich and that’s why she’s turning him down. He can’t accept that she can’t love him the way he loves her. 😪
Karisa Love I’m pretty sure they shot this scene at Gibbet Hill in Groton, Massachusetts
1994: kissing and quietly sharing feelings in a forest
2019: screaming and sadness on a hill
Omgg 💖💖💖
2019 is so much better
2019 far better
This Nigerian Loves Drinking Garri lol, objectively, that’s a dumb af comment
They love some campy scenery chewing in 21st century.
Advantages of being called Joe: I get to shut my eyes during this scene and pretend Timmy is talking to me
I love this fan girl vibeess 😂😂😂😂
HAHHAHAHAHAHAHA
😂😂😂
Precisely!! My dream 😍
😂😂😂😂
The part where he asks if there’s anything more (2:33) and she says no causing him to turn away in complete defeat but then she say’s “except…” and he immediately turns back around to listen closely, holding on to any little amount of hope he has left… gotta love that!
he looks at her with so much hope, and then you can SEE his jaw harden in disappointment when she closes the door on him (again). amazing!!!!
Everyone is all about the rejection but can we talk for a moment about how Jo feels about herself? I mean, she seems to feel totally worthless and insecure. She kept hearing from Meg what she shouldn't do, what she shouldn't say, how she should look like or what she should be wearing, so she eventually believed she can't be loved for who she really is. That actually made me sad the most in this scene.
Her family despised her so much. In
the book i felt it more. Amy and Meg especially. Jo and Beth are the best
I couldnt stand Amy and Meg they were plain. Especially meg
@emilywandosen8472 i know, right? I couldn't stand it reading the book. And seriously, i liked Jo much more, she just was herself the whole time and didn't try to fit in. Meg just wanted Jo to be the next version of her while Jo was awesome the way she was, though no one except this guy seemed to notice. I liked Jo and Beth too, i found Amy annoying and Meg seemed a bit arogant to me.
Jo practically hides behind her insecurities. Meg tells her to not say “cristopher colombus” so she says it louder. Amy tells her to brush her hair so Jo wears it loose and tangled. She amplifies her insecurities to the max in a way of defiance and to seem confident but deep down she is still insecure about who she is. Which is like, a mood
@susanalopez5052 i think by doing so she forces them to accept her the way she is. Like, no matter what they say, she still does things her way. Which doesn't change the fact it hurts her they can't just take her for what she is, and she indeed feels insecure.
:/
It's interesting how both Jo and Amy understand immediately what he's asking before he says it and refuse it just as fast.
they're the most similar to each other. so yeah, it figures
Timothée and Saoirse both killed this scene
when she says “except that” and he comes back nodding to allow her to state what she wants, that just shows how much he loves her. he was willing to hear her out even though he knew she wasn’t going to say yes, he still listened.
Well he probably came back cause he thought she might change her mind
I love Laurie's nod at 2:40 when Jo said, "except that." He was like go on, say it 😭😭😭
like he want listen to her whatever she told to him 😭
1:40 the moment when he leans for kiss and jo avoids... my heart....
SSKDHSJFHDJDHJDND MY HEART
NO LITERALLY I ALWAYS NOTICE THAT UGHHHHHH
one of the best parts TT
NOOO STOP
Whoa! I didn't even realize that that's what happened. Now my heart is crying..
I honestly don’t think I’ll ever get over how his hair looked in this scene...
I KNOW I LOVE HIS HAIR IN THIS SCENE!!!!!!
So floofy
The fact that I have watched this scene so many times and it is still utterly devastating shows just how well done it is.
“and I’ll watch” is probably the most relatable expression of unrequited love in all of literature.
The bittersweetness of this scene is so strange. It makes you feel something; not only pitty for Teddy, but also something deep for Jo. It’s knowing that there are some very pure feelings behind the characters in this scene. We have Teddy, who has been in love with this girl that seems like her soulmate since he met her. And then is Joe, who loves Teddy but can’t correspond his feelings, and is doing her absolute best to try to not break his heart without giving up her true self. I wouldn’t like this scene so much of the feelings were reciprocated. I like the purity of two individuals who love each other but want different things from the other. It’s the unavoidable love, the unavoidable harm, the unavoidable loneliness. Two people with a connection that ends up being painful of how much they care for each other; one with an unrequited love, the other one by hating hurting the person she is the closest to.
They loved each other and truly the ending scene seemed so forced to me like Jo didn’t want to be there at all, I think there’s a deeper meaning wanted by the writer but after the ending I hated her lol
finally someone who understands!!!
Thanks for this 🌸
Almost forgot to watch this today
LMAO
Loool
The way he repeats "I love you, Jo." while she's listing her flaws.
2:40 when she said 'except that-' and cut herself off and he turned back instantly, giving her a little nod as though to say 'go on, i'm listening' my heart died a little
She loved him, but wasn’t in love with him and in there lies the difference between romantic and platonic love.
exactly
2:40 when Jo speaks again Laurie thinks that she changed her mind and gives a little nod waiting for her to accept his proposal 😭😭😭😭
frick
I could’ve lived on without knowing that piece of information that broke my heart
Why did you made me notice that !?!???😭
It's heartbreaking for both of them because Jo doesn't want to hurt him and Laurie's situation is self explanatory.
He's wearing the ring that Jo gave him! He has loved her for a long time, ever since he knew her, and he wanted to marry her, and now, in the advanced stages of the movie, he is still wearing Joe's ring, and I believe that he still loves her and will not stop loving her, and Amy is still Joe's sister, and he loved Amy, but his love for Joe is of the eternal kind that ends and will continue forever despite From his marriage.
Every one dying over the “and ill watch” but the “you can’t?” Is killing me
ME
Jodie Marie where do they say “you can’t?”
@ellena211 1:05
Helen when joe starts talking and she says i dont know why i cant love u, i have tried and i cant, he goes ‘you cant?’ Really sadly and quietly
Yeah... That little pause before he says it kills me
2:40 omg when he turns around you can SEE the vulnerability and hope in his eyes. Timothee ate this role.
RIGHT OMG I REPLAYED THAT PART SO MANY TIMES
Exactly i noticed it too
YES TIMOTHEE IS SUCH A GOOD ACTOR
at 1:43 you can tell that laurie wants to kiss jo so badly
And I get butterflies from this very moment. 🦋🦋🦋
Well he should’ve gone for it. That might’ve changed her mind
@mai.vancon
No. He did the right thing respecting her expressions and feelings of protest.
i was thinking the same thing
I like that at 1:42-1:43 he leans in like he’s going to kiss her but she leans back. Those little moments of body language acting is what helps make this scene so great agghhh
I've been watching this scene a lot lately. I just had something similar happen to me (as I think a lot of us have, which is why this hits so strongly). Just a good friend I deeply loved romantically and thought might love me back--but she didn't. She said she didn't feel that way toward anyone and didn't think she ever would. And the terrible thing is she was considerate and sympathetic and even apologetic: there was absolutely nothing to get angry at her for, and she did absolutely nothing wrong. She was and still is a reliable, caring friend. She just couldn't return my affections. I don't know what you're supposed to do with that, I really don't.
The Kate Winslet and Leo Dicaprio of our generation
YES OMGGG
the Walmart-like
So true ♡
Amen❤️
@sambarker4750 bur
0:40 I find that part to be one of the most human lines in this amazing scene when Laurie states everything he gave up for Jo and then adds the panicked “and it’s fine” to justify himself
EXACTLY
Don't forget the 'and I'm happy I did' i cry :c
The fact that Jo’s rejection of Laurie is set against this beautiful, picturesque backdrop just makes this all the more heartbreaking...
1 minute of silence for Laurie
“And I’ll watch” kills me every time, I mean who didn’t start hysterically crying.
I swear everyone was crying in themovie theater
I was looking for a comment like this; it breaks my heart every time i watch this video
Life lesson: If you’ve loved or sacrificed an amount for someone, don’t expect to be loved the same amount in return. Love is not a bank transaction. And the person you have a crush on doesn’t owe you anything.
That's love. You only give
love is not a debt.
She regretted rejecting him later on, though.
@Pantano63 no she is not. At the end she ends up with another person right? The teacher guy. She regretted it only bcs she felt alone, not bcs she truly loved her.
@renebaebae0600 So she regretted it like I had said? Nice we can agree.
“And I’ll watch” let’s admit that hits everyone hard in some way.
It's painful to be the one in Jo's position and no one talks about it
i feel like their relationship perfectly encompasses the idea of loving someone vs. being in love with someone. Both in the books and in the movie, Jo loved Laurie but she was never truly in love with him. I'm glad that both of them come to the conclusion that they love each other platonically and I think that's beautiful.
Platonic love is often the best foundation for a lasting relationship, as it's less selfish and demanding. One doesn't expect so much as in romantic love. Platonic love generally lasts longer than romantic love. However each case is different.
@mfjdv2020 I agree with you
So true
@mfjdv2020 yeah sadly most media and such tell you that unless your heart flutters all the time it’s not love.
People have a very VERY large misconception of what love is in western societies
@thekidd2323Right, this is only a western thing. Totally!
My feelings😭😭😭😭😭
How he keeps saying "I love you Jo" maaaannn
“And I’ll watch” hurts
1:41 it killlls me everytime how Laurie is trying to kiss her...
That choke in his voice before he says "I figured you'd love me". You can feel his pain.
He loved her so early, she loved him so late
She didn't love him though. In the end she reconsidered because she was lonely and depressed. Feeling heartbroken at Beth's death, and just wanting the comfort of her best friend back.
Cheezy Films Productions yep... I think it’s ok to ship them... but other people go so overboard sometimes and hate her for breaking his heart. We should never be with someone out of pity or loneliness. I love that their relationship shows that soul mates come in all shapes and sizes.
Pingu Nootson They would have been terrible together. Jo was right. Her dreams were different. She shouldn’t have had to accept a proposal from a man who she always saw as a friend and lose the freedom she already had. Jo was very against a life like that. And the fact that she didn’t love Laurie probably made it much easier for her to say no. I love Jo’s character for her determination. I think she’s wonderful. But I don’t think Laurie was her soulmate. What they had was cute and fresh and new. But it would have ended in disaster.
R V exactly. And taking into account that Laurie has no female figures in his life. Of course he’s gonna fall in love with the first thing he sees! Not downplaying their chemistry, but I think if he had a mother or sisters, he wouldn’t fall for his friend quite as hard as he did. So it makes sense that Louisa wrote him that way.
Nishita kunder I mean I never said he didn’t love her
The amount of times I have watched this scene is unhealthy...
Same, the acting is too good
A broken heart heals but a silent one haunts. Rejection fades eventually, regret doesn’t. Always fight for your dreams.
There is no shame in getting rejected.
Laurie's messy hair was a kill. I was shot right through my heart.
2:56 "I think you'll find someone and love them and you will live and die for them because that's your way, and you will... and I'll watch"
damn... that hurt
It’s a great detail how he’s using gender-neutral pronouns
2:32 that "anything more?" gave me major Mr Darcy after he gets rejected vibes
Yessss
YES
i see myself in both
"Listen, you're gonna find some lovely and accomplished girl who will love you and adore you and she's gonna make a fine mistress for your fine house "
yeah, well apparently its your sister, Jo
Of all the men in the world she had to marry her sisters best friend who loved her sister before her
@slaonestephens7575 you can’t help who you fall for. Amy loved Laurie. Jo did not. Even when she changed her mind she was doing so because she was lonely. I’m glad he ended up with Amy.
Totally agree, Amy's description!
When I read this in the book for the first time, I kept re-reading it again and again, it was such a strong moment. I love that they made this scene almost the same as the book.
I know they did fantastic and he TOTALLY embodied just EXACTLY how Laurie felt in the book the way it all just came pouring out just wow ❤😍 The tragic beauty of how sad this scene is also I noticed throughout the movie their always chasing each other this is them chasing each other one last time and leaving childhood behind going separate ways unfortunately😢💔
What book is it, I wish to ask?
Its the same title "little women" by louisa may alcott
The movie adaptation is just as good as the original book@TheZealousNobleman
Me too! I remember re-reading this chapter "Heartache" so many times. Totally broke me.
This scene is a definition of heartbreak
Laurie helped to bring out the child hidden within Jo. Laurie was someone she could have moments of fun with, without having to think about the difficulties of her life. Laurie added the fun like her sisters did. However, Jo by nature was serious, ambitious, wanting to do something in life and Laurie could never be that man who would motivate her or take interest in her writing. He could never encourage her. Yes, of course, he could love her but Jo didn't need the love at the time Laurie proposed to her, she already had love from her sisters and that for her was enough.
The only reason Jo wrote that letter to Laurie at the end and wanted him back in her life is because at that specific point in her life, she was truly lonely - she lost a sister (Beth), she soon realised how her other sisters (Meg and Amy) were happy with life but she wasn't. Laurie could perhaps bring that happiness back. But no she was wrong, true happiness lied in her writing, in the time she spent by herself, I'd say that's when Jo really discovered herself and therefore wrote the amazing book she did!
Finally, a satisfying explanation rather than “your soulmate just isn’t the person you end up with”. This really explains the why behind it all despite everything that was said and done
The comment I was searching for! Thank you! 😊
Perfectly said ❤ Definitely the best explanation and summary I'm looking for.❤
What do you expect from a guy that you rejected.
Still wait and comes to you when you feel lonely after you didn’t say yes to him ?
Oohh what a delusional mindset
Sick L generation ❌
it sucks how normalized this kind of thinking has become. "true happiness lied in her writing" l've seen too many women lying to themselves with that exact argument, just to find later in life to be wrong and feel lonely.... so much male attention in early life makes women think thats a cheap thing that comes easy. they think love will be waiting for them when they feel like it, but in reality you get only a few good shots in life and youre done.
Jo is such a mature young women, there's a truth in everything she said in defense on why she didn't want to marry him... Laurie loves her with a mere expectation on they wanted to be happy, but Jo sees everything in reality. So, that's a very mature of her to think like that, because most young women, especially in current generation sees marriage as pure happiness, but they don't see the reality to it, the responsibility you have to carry, the chemistry you need to find to make it last, it's not just love.. it is much more than that. I love this scene so much.
Thank God someone in comment section understands it
I thought everybody is on Laurie’s side and I don’t get it at all. I agree.
Thank goodness for this comment because I'm once in Jo's place and people seems to get angry at me. I just stated what I feel and my view. That's all ').
Definetely! People don't even seem to really understand Jo in that scene.
I agree
“I love you Jo, I love you Jo”.
You can see the hope in his eyes when he turns around when Jo says she has one more thing to say and then it fades away, this scene it's portrayed perfectly.
I'm in love with this scene. I just spent the last 20 minutes watching and rewatching. It's so refreshingly natural. They talk over each other, the intense ramping up of movement at the beginning and winding down to the stillness at the end, Laurie's small desperate movement to kiss her at 1:41 and her pulling away, the wordless changes in expression when the other person makes significant argument points. And the editing is flawless. The editors give *significantly* more screentime to Laurie and his reactions than Jo's, amplifying the heartbreak of the situation and allowing Chalamet's stellar performance to truly shine. It feels real, and I think that why I keep returning to this clip.
I've yet to see the movie, but this scene has me sold.
