Now that I'm older, I can totally see why Jo found him suitable for her. They compliment each other so very well, and Bhaer is just so thoughtful and kind 💕
This is the relationship I want. Call me weird but I don't mind the age gap (I'm an adult don't worry). It's so exhilarating to find someone you can intellectually connect with. It makes the emotional and physical connection much more profound.
I always wanted my own personal Professor Bhaer, someone I felt intellectually and spiritually connected to. I finally found him. They do exist, ladies.
This was such a cool meta tie-in to Louisa May Alcott’s family. And Jo and Bhaer are so nerdy, I love it. Laurie could never enjoy this level of nerddom. Bhaer’s look of incredulity at 2:19 says it all 😁
I loved Professor Bhaer upon my first read, since I had no issue whatsoever with the age difference. I still love me a dear Friederich, but those 20 years of diffence, funnily enough now that I am in my twenties, make me uneasy.
Gabriel Byrne has been a movie star crush of mine since Man in the Iron Mask. He's mesmerizing to watch and has an air of idk gentleness about him. Love his work. Glad I finally watched this movie.
I have loved period pieces for a while, but I have noticed something interesting happen in the past year. I am 26-years-old and a single woman, and I see a common theme now as I watch these performances. Professor Bhaer is incredibly underrated and a much better fit for Jo intellectually. Laurie and Amy are a better fit for each other. Colonel Brandon was truly the catch in Sense and Sensibility. Willoughby was a silly boy. And I know Daisy Goodwin's Victoria is based on actual historical people, and believe me I support the real Victoria and Albert's relationship. However, viewing this series more as a fictional period piece for a moment, Melbourne and Victoria have such real love and chemistry. I don't know what it is, but I have noticed this common occurrence that the male character I see most positively has true maturity and good character. Age is definitely not a guarantee for maturity, but I'm much more drawn to a man of deep faith and principle than any boy that simply wants to play games. Spiritual and intellectual attraction is so important. Even if it is more rare and uncommon nowadays, that is the kind of love that would persuade me to marry. No one is perfect, but being understood and valued would be so nice. Also! These men actually help the female protagonist. They believe in their strengths and capabilities, but will be honest and share when their efforts may not be a good idea. This is how improvement and growth can occur. They do this in a truly loving way, building up the women they love yet ultimately leaving the decision up to them. People will write off these pieces as mere girlish fantasy, but I would think most females know that no healthy relationship is a perfect utopia. We need good fiction to give us examples of right and acceptable behavior, to pull us out of the gutter of selfish indulgent living. We need good fiction to give us a standard to aspire to achieve. I'm probably preaching to the choir, but these ideas have been floating around in my mind whenever I want this genre.
Yesss, exactly! I've started calling it the "Spurned Gentleman" Trope, based off on how the heroine , or other women, always prefer the dashing yet flawed young hero who treats her terribly over the older, more mature and certainly more nicer man, who truly loves the heroine.
I love these two to the moon and back. True story Friedrich is mainly based on philosopher Henry Thoreau. Louisa was in love with him. He is the romantic lead in all of her novels. Fritz in Little Women, Mac in Rose in Bloom, David in Work, Adam in Moods. Of course, Jo falls for him. Henry was also known for carrying an umbrella.
2:55 when me and my mother watched that scene and I can't help but get butterflies watching them speak over their interests with such great passion, because even I seek for that kind of connection. Two souls that just balances one another and just happen to understand each other like crazy. My mother found me so sus as I become so gushy and mushy over them both.
Never used it. I don't think I trust dating apps. With the whole pandemic and the fact that I currently live rural, it will take a miracle from God for me to find a man like Professor Bhaer. xD
I love Jo's dress in this scene - it's so boyish and captures the new sophisticated style she'd take while in New York. Props to Colleen Atwood for the costume design.
@@dmorenod29 seconded! Wynona MADE stranger things for me. She was so brilliant as Will's desperate mother in the first season that I cried every time she came on screen. Wow, what an actress
Yes I felt thr same. In the new movie their relationship was rushed and they have almost no scenes together. But overall I loved the nrw movie as well. However, I prefer this Jo.
Creation 123 greta did that because louisa may alcott never intended jo to marry him, she was forced by her publisher. so greta allowed us to see the happy ending, while giving alcott the ending she had wanted when she wrote the novel
@@marissaann1290 To be honest the new adaptation does such a poor job with the Baehr story that it would have been better not to even bother with it at all. There are things I really like about the 2019 version but this relationship wasn't one of them. It was much better realized in the 1994 version.
In 2011 I had the good fortune to stay at the Hotel Mirabelle in San Francisco's Mission District. A continental breakfast and tea in the evening were served in the parlor at the end of the hall. Because it was small room, complete strangers would sit together and chat. The room in this scene reminds me so much of that hotel. Sadly, it seems to have closed.
I nearly fainted when I saw how mature and hot he was...Of course adult Jo wanted him...He was able to give her criticism and stand up to her and helped her go higher with her goals...the mark of a true partner...
@@abrahambrody9138 A big reason why her & Laurie didn't work. He would bow at her every command & tell her yes just because that's what He thinks she wants to hear. & that's not what she wanted. Even before they grew close, joe was rather star struck with Friedrich.
This scene somehow reminds me of Dead Poets Society and after watching that movie, I can already imagine Robin Williams playing the role of Friederich (not that Gabriel Byrne did a bad job, he did a great job). Anyone else?
I was making a wonderful synthesis essay about transcendence for philosophy and I remembered this scene from Little Women. If only I'd get to talk to a reincarnation of Friedrich Bhaer. ✨😳 Surprise, I'm writing about Immanuel Kant again, The only one who I can talk to about Kant's theories is just my Professor and who's from Germany. Bro he married🤦🏻♀️
As a kid I didn’t understand why Jo didn’t want Laurie but now as an adult I get it. She just acted an emotionally available dilf and I can’t blame her
Respectfully disagree. Before I first saw the film I was thinking Ryder was too pretty to be Jo March, but she changed my mind. For me she does capture the spirit of Jo, and she would go on to receive an Oscar nomination for Best Actress.
Now that I'm older, I can totally see why Jo found him suitable for her. They compliment each other so very well, and Bhaer is just so thoughtful and kind 💕
Right! I love him he’s so sweet and caring
This is the relationship I want. Call me weird but I don't mind the age gap (I'm an adult don't worry). It's so exhilarating to find someone you can intellectually connect with. It makes the emotional and physical connection much more profound.
Yes i think the same
I just found that a couple months ago, it feels like magic
SAME as a kid I’ve always loved him he’s so underrated
It's a meeting of souls and minds isn't it?
Totally agree! It's very romantic and real
I always wanted my own personal Professor Bhaer, someone I felt intellectually and spiritually connected to. I finally found him. They do exist, ladies.
Thank you for this hope, this is good news!
Thank you, I need this encouragement. That's wonderful, I wish you both the best! :)
Me too
Thank you for the motivationnnn 🥺💕✨
Does he have a brother? 😊 just kidding!
Young Winona Ryder was stunning
GdaTyler agreed
Still is
Yeah... Tbh she doesn't look so bad in straner things either
GdaTyler she still is
ikr, she’s still stunning tho, and always will be.

this scene is so sweet. I love the moment where Jo tries to imitate the way he stirs his coffee
Girls want a Laurie, women want a bhaer.
SUSHIL TIRKEY I am totally a girl
I loved Professor Bhaer upon my first read, since I had no issue whatsoever with the age difference. I still love me a dear Friederich, but those 20 years of diffence, funnily enough now that I am in my twenties, make me uneasy.
Exactly❤️
Right? 😉 I mean, Laurie is a cutie, but Professor Bhaer... DANM! 😍🤣😘
I saw it as teenager, immediately fell in love with Bhaer...

Preach, sister!!! But Alas! where does one find such a man?

You appreciate Lord Melbourne and Victoria too? I am so happy to hear that! 🥹💕
Ah, someone who sees the perfection that is Lord M! A fellow "Vicbourner!"

Omg im a huge Louisa Fan and had no clue!
Wow! Thanks for this little-known tidbit of knowledge.
There are people who you know are very kind the first second you meet them.
This relationship shines so much more than that 2019 version
Thank you!

Flirty was so much better and innocent and kind when tinder wasn’t existing...
Just dont use ist!
Never used it. I don't think I trust dating apps. With the whole pandemic and the fact that I currently live rural, it will take a miracle from God for me to find a man like Professor Bhaer. xD
@@cheerfulturtlegirl I feel ya.
After only watching this one clip, it makes so much sense why she would end up with mr bhaer and not laurie
He was so beautiful here. Such a lovely Irish man, so very Irish looking.
Truly!
(:
Gabriel byrne such a good actor
yes
I can never marry unless I find someone to nerd out over Transcendentalism with me, too.
Are you still out there? Lol, I am writing an undergraduate thesis on Transcendentalism and its educational thought.
If they resemble Gabriel Byrne
Transcendentalism is in India
True!
I love Jo's dress in this scene - it's so boyish and captures the new sophisticated style she'd take while in New York. Props to Colleen Atwood for the costume design.
I miss Winona Ryder, I wish I could see her in more movies
Have you seen Stranger Things?
No! Not really
@@dmorenod29 Winona Ryder plays Will's mom, Joyce Byers.
@@dmorenod29 seconded! Wynona MADE stranger things for me. She was so brilliant as Will's desperate mother in the first season that I cried every time she came on screen. Wow, what an actress
"call me Friedrich" this is kind of cute lmao
She's your sister- I couldn't bear it😂😂😂
you couldnt "bhaer" it XD
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂
@@sakuraharuma4204 I was going to comment that. XD
@@kaitlyncanning6867 haha ^^
LITERALLY I'M SCREAMING THE NERDINESS IN THIS IS EVERYTHING
This adaptation is much better as I like the music, costume, everything!
Superior to the new movie in this relationship!!!

YESSSS the new one was bland
Winona and Gabriel are the best
Them quoting Walt Whitman. 🥺❤️
They were perfect as Jo and Bhaer 😍
Those are the tiniest cups I’ve ever seen
Well, of course. They are demitasse cups, for drinking strong expresso coffee.
Try it, you will like it (after three sips).
Like a barbies coffee cup small size
Now people drink 7-11 sugar-bombs in liquid form that come in 20 oz disposable cups. And most everyone who does is obese.
Winona is and was so beautiful ♥💞

Jo is my favorite character and this is my favorite scene ❤
This movie is something wonderful 😍 It represents the great novel of Louisa May Alcott ♥️
Gabriel Byrne was a hottie in this movie.
Faith Castillo he’s one of those actors not matter age he’s still handsome

@@dmorenod29 Agreed
winona and this dude are rly cute together
they did the casting of Friederich so dirty in the 2019 version
Gosh I love Winona.
This scene somehow reminds me of Dead Poets Society and after watching that movie, I can already imagine Robin Williams playing the role of Friederich (not that Gabriel Byrne did a bad job, he did a great job). Anyone else?
How can this be so true! Yes, I see it!!!
I remember loving transcendentalism as a high schooler
Great scene, great actors. Both with shadows on their life, but I love them both.
I was making a wonderful synthesis essay about transcendence for philosophy and I remembered this scene from Little Women. If only I'd get to talk to a reincarnation of Friedrich Bhaer. ✨😳

I wanted to marry him when this movie came out. I was 12 then…I still want to marry him 😄
Same, girl, same
Everyone did
Why does he reminds me of Tom hiddleston lmao i cant unsee it.
same omg!!! I thought I was the only one lol
More handsome, though, is Byrne.
Oh my gosh! Yes!!!
This was perfect.
They are so beautiful inside out...
As a kid I didn’t understand why Jo didn’t want Laurie but now as an adult I get it. She just acted an emotionally available dilf and I can’t blame her
I like her chemistry with Laurie a lot more... However I like Meg and Lourie in the new movie.
😮thank you
Relationship goals lads
I have loved him since I first watched this as a teenager. So much better then Laurie
I want a Bhaer that looks like Laurie
I adore little women
I absolutely loved this version that tbh, i didn't care about watching the newer version.
Ma favorite scene ❤️
Love this movie ❤
he looks so much older then jo
rae that’s the idea :)
He was. In the book and in real life.
1:25 Hogwarts❣
Omg Potterheads all the time ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Does the actress playing Jo look like Keira Knightley as Elisabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice to you?
Are you not familiar with Winona Ryder??
Now, no. But I watched this movie years ago and always pictured Jo with Keira Knightley's face. Until now, so..
பேரழகி
I want this
ew
Winona Ryder is a good actress now of course, but she was a terrible choice for this role.
Respectfully disagree. Before I first saw the film I was thinking Ryder was too pretty to be Jo March, but she changed my mind. For me she does capture the spirit of Jo, and she would go on to receive an Oscar nomination for Best Actress.
Wdym. She was the heart of the movie.
