the way their story is described in the book is so much deeper! they spend a lot of time together and they end up falling in love in a very mature, down to earth way.
@@terebertuccivoicemusic9821 Yes, that is true. I love the 1994 and 2019 version but honestly NOT ONE MOVIE yet showed well how Amy and Laurie developed their love, is all so rushed in the movies adaptations and they took out everything, including Laurie´s proposal to Amy , it was beautiful. So sad I never got to see it in any movie or TV series adaptations and is my fav book.
as much as these actors are great i think the 2019 version does a better version of this scene, it shows more emotion and heartbreak when amy realises and unloads how she’s always felt second to jo, also florence pugh is amazing at that
honestly i can see why people thought these two were a bad pair, as lovely as this version of the story is, it still paints amy as a second choice (or somewhat thats what we as just viewers feel) however in the 2019 version, rather than that, it shows us laurie genuinely in love with amy, they have deep conversations, their scene were she explains how she's always been second to hr sister is so raw and powerful that *we know* he wouldn't still be after her if he didn't truly love her, and only was after her because her sister refused him
I agree. While I grew up with this version, I always wanted him to end up with Jo. Yet when I watched the 2019 version, I loved his ending up with Amy and I was happy with Jo’s choice as well.
the 2019 version introduces us to laurie and amy in the same scene, rather than chronologically. the audience already associate them with each other from the start, so she feels less like second choice. that is one of my favourite choices greta gerwig made when writing the film :)
This movie is so much better in the first half before they replace Kirstin Dunst - this Amy is such a wet blanket. She doesn't retain any of Amy's joyeousness and excitability.
The 2019 one is more expressive, and appealing for modern audience. The 'ol' version is more subtle and less direct so many people still prefer Jo and Laurie together (just like when it was first published). I did like the Greta G's version when Amy explains why she has to marry and marry rich to Laurie. In this clip, I felt, the 'tension' just hangs there with her saying, 'I've always known I will not marry a pauper'--signaling that Amy knew Laurie knew what she meant, she didn't need to explain it to him but audience who was watching felt 'the loss' as it's not explained to the audience.
I'm a hardcore Christian.....Bale fan but I don't like his portrayal of Laurie. It doesn't have the goofiness from the book, Timothee captured that better.
Two VERY different Laurie's and both great! Christian's version is much less romantic with Amy, brooding, darker even in a way. Timothee's is much more naturally romantic with Amy and has a different chemistry that really plays on his boyish charm. I love to watch them both back to back!
Personally I preferred Christian Bale in the scenes where they’re younger but I find his adult Laurie insufferable. Timothée is able to depict Laurie actually growing, learning from his disappointments and falling in love with Amy, which the writing didn’t allow Bale to do as much.
The worst line is him saying he knew he should be part of the March family. And then sometime at the end Jo says the same thing. Like ew, one way or another you were all gonna be okay with him just settling for ANY of the March sisters? No thanks
What bothers me the most is that he went for the one who was a small child when he was entering university and the bond shown between them back then is more like he is an older brother figure for her...and i just, is so creepy and yet even jo is ok with it.
@@nessyness5447 People can change roles, especially when they grow up to be adults. He didn't form a romantic relationship with a child and he was not her brother so there was nothing wrong at all with what he did..... Since Jo turned him down and never formed a romantic relationship with him, it was none of her business what happened between him and Amy and she realized that.
@@jayaom4946 it doesn't matter that they were not blood related. He saw her grow up since childhood and behaved as a older brother figure towards her. It is creepy.
Well that was why he proposed to Jo in the first place he liked their family and figured that he should propose to the one that had a close friendship with him
He and Jo would have never worked. They would have argued and eventually resented each other. The professor not only supported Jo but he encouraged her to write what she really wanted, not just what would sell fast. Laurie and Amy are much more compatible. He never loved Jo. Never truly loved her. He loved the idea of being in their family.
Laurie and Amy are a much, much better match than Laurie and Jo. Amy has always made Laurie think of someone besides himself, even when she was a child (I'm thinking of when he comforted her when Beth first got sick.) They weren't peers as children the same way Laurie and Jo were peers, but there's a mutual understanding and respect between them, as shown by the way they accept each other's influence and become better for it. Jo and Laurie struggled with that. While Jo and Laurie had great fun as children, in order for Jo to be happy, she needed someone she respected more, someone who brought out the gentleness she was capable of.
I can definitely relate with Jo. Especially with that last part you had mentioned. Looking for someone who she respects (look up to) and who can bring out her gentleness.
She didn't need that. Jo's despair is what made her think she needed someone who loves her. But when her book was printed and published that's when she seemed to be genuinely happy and content with herself. For her, career was always more important than love.
Also, Jo is never in love with him which could be a bit of a problem 😂 The only reason she feels some regret is because she would have been loved and rich enough to travel the world and make something of herself. Jealousy and she got a handle on it quickly because she knew that wouldn't have been fair to Laury and not make either happy. This is all written clearly in the books btw so I don't know why every adaptation before 2019 decided to change that.
Like Jo herself said---she and Laurie are both extremely stubborn and both have awful tempers. They would drive each other NUTS. Even if Jo reciprocated Laurie's feelings, that relationship is doomed for failure.
Yea back when Christian had a cute smile before he “fixed” it smh. In my opinion though this was the best version. I still have it on vhs lol. The new one Sucked.
@@tsilva2183 I didn't know about Christian's fixed smile I'm not even going to look it up. Not interested. I like both versions. I am partial to the first one because I love Winona Ryder. I just didn't understand why they cast Emma Watson to play Meg in the new movie. She looks like the youngest sister but yet she plays the oldest. She's a great actress though don't get me wrong. To me though she'll always be Hermoine Granger. No matter what she does.
I feel the costumes in this movie, the atmosphere the setting and sets were much more better that 2019 version of little women. But the cast is just...dry. the cast in little women 2019 was so fkn good you don't even look at how inaccurate all of their costumes, their behaviours accroding to the social norms and everything else was out of place. It was so well done depite all of its slip ups.
Yes this I agree with completely! The casting and delivery was perfect in 2019 but the costume design was the worst and I felt like they were pushing certain things too much in the script, but this scene shows how much better the acting was. I felt grossed out watching laurie going in for a kiss here, but not in the 2019 version where he looks at her more as a woman than a march family member
@@claraslocket no it's literally not. They did not deserve an oscar- the costuming was so inaccurate, although the movie was great. And every styling element, down to the hair and their non existent bonnets- which was a staple of that time, was heavily inaccurate. Yes they were pleasing to the EYE- although some of them were such a sore site, like the pink gown Meg (Emma watson) wears was literally a diffrent era.
@@claraslocket unfortunately that is not the case. I recommend watching the video 'why the costumes of little women did not deserve an oscar' to get a better understanding on why that is so.
I love Jo and professor from this movie, but Amy and Laurie from 2019. Florence Pugh killed it. So much so, here I didn’t believe their chemistry or future for a second, and there I was all for it.
florence was only amazing for the adult role of Amy. I just have a hard time enjoying her acting as the child version of Amy because she is too much older for the role. Kirsten did a better job in that aspect
Despite Greta Gerwigs outstanding version with Saorsi Ronan, this is also a good version of Little women. Cast are excellent. Bale's physique is close to the book description. Even Timothy's version implies the same thing. Laurie is in love with the whole March family. a family he never had.
Laurie is very cynical and hurt in this scene-thats why he says the horrendous things he does.I like him as Laurie.There is a youthfulness there until he finds out the way the world works!Then his truly cynical.
Honestly the previous films portray laurie's character terribly. He seems to be desperate to be part of the family, and courting the sisters seem to be his way of doing it. It makes him a villainous role. However, in reality laurie has always been a part of it. He knows that despite jo rejecting him, he can come back bcuz their families are so close. It's a warm and happy thing, instead of the role of a villain. He was once in love with jo bcuz she made him forget his worries and have all the fun in the world. It was like indulging in endless amounts of candy. Jo knew they weren't right, and he was not willing to accept that. His love for jo was toxic, he tries to persuade her into marrying him, says all sorts of childish things and acts irrationally. He was spoiled. However amy made him better, and he felt loved. There is the difference. The 2019 version did laurie's character better, as well as the relationship between amy and laurie. It wasn't just a ticket to get into the March family. He has always been part of it and still will be, but he loves jo, and later loves amy bcuz of his own will. These versions rlly ruin the character
He wasn't, Amy said proudly all through her childhood she would never marry a poor man. It was her truth and he was acknowledging it since they grew up together
The Amy and Laurie love of the 2019 version was so much better. You saw why Amy is the sister Laurie marries. You see why they're right for each other. This is cringe. He's clearly still not over Jo and he's just substituting her with her sister.
Why are people in the comments acting as if the actors are speaking in a weird manner while this is closest to the way they actually spoke during that era? So far I've only seen clips of the 2019 Little Women, but I can already tell that the silent beauty of this one surpasses that of the modern adaptation.
Agreed. I watched the 2019 version and was more annoyed than thrilled by it. It was a little too satisfied and smug in its progressiveness and really didn't match the era it purported to depict. I found it largely overacted and underwhelming. I found this version much more convincing, especially Marmee, with Susan Sarandon in the role. She really came across like a mother. Laura Dern's version was too obviously a modern feminist trying to hide in Civil War era clothing. She wasn't convincing at all. I just didn't believe in any of the relationships in the 2019 version, except maybe Jo and Beth's.
Gosh this version shows you should not fix what is not broken! There was no need for a reboot! This was and will always be my favorite movie and only version of this movie.
I just like the 2019 version better, i'm sorry. I feel that not only is the acting better but the writing of the scene to be an emotional one is better as well. You can feel Amy's hearbreak more. You can sense Laurie realizing how immature he's been, thinking he could just have Amy with no qualms. And when they do get together it feels more natural, more deserved on Laurie's part, because that scene leaves space for him to know that their union would be one of love and not convenience or simple desire for companionship. The other factors, like Amy's practicality and Laurie's jealousy, are more spread out in the 2019 version rather than feeling packed in this one scene.
I really love this version! Didn't show much of the romance between Amy and Laurie but it captured the family and sisters bond pretty well! Also because of the cameras quality back then and the atmosphere here makes it really feel like the 1800s. Also the Greta Gerwig version is pretty good when it comes to romance, but here it captures the family spirit right! Loved both either way but this one really is closer to my heart.
It kind off saddens me that more people don’t prefer this version over Greta’s adaptation. I watched the original on DVD when I was around 8, and instantly fell in love with it. At the time I hadn’t read the novel so it was my first exposure to ‘Little Women’. Years later, I feel the 95 adaptation not only captures the atmosphere of and characterisation in the book better but it is also far superior in its casting. I’m not putting down the cast of the new adaptation. Each of the main cast members are clearly excellent actors but some of them are just so miscast. Timothy Charlagamane for instance is excellent in the first half but not at all believable as adult Laurie. The decision to have an adult actress play child Amy was jarring to say the least. And some of Greta’s interpretations of the text just undermine the character development and story as a whole, in my opinion.
Yes child Amy was so unbelievable. Also the 2019 costuming won an award even though they were terrible and so inaccurate. If they did better with costuming it would’ve been easier to tell if it was a flashback or not.
I always loved Christian bale as Laurie but before they got older. He was goofy in the young version he played in this movie. And I mean Susan Sarandon as the mom you can't go wrong. I ha e yet to watch the 2019 version but I always related to wynona Ryder as jo. Of course she'd choose amy over me. I'm ugly and awkward and always say the wrong thing. This statement always stayed with me when feeling like an outsider. I agree though I never liked older amy. She was nothing like the younger version which bothered me.
The only thing I loved about this version was Claire Dane's acting. She was the only one that brought so much emotion into her scenes, such a phenomenol actress. But otherwise the plot of the 2019 version was 10x better. Much more powerful, logical and truer to the book. The cast of this version are great actors but the 2019 one just fits.
I have such mixed feelings now. I will always prefer Christian Bale as Laurie but Samantha Mathis totally sucked as Amy. 2019 Amy plus 1996 Laurie. Please.
1994 will always have my heart. ♥️ Laurie has long been a friend of the March girls and being honest is his thing whether or not you want to hear it! He did something similar with Meg when she was pretending to be someone she wasn't.
This dialogue really ruined their relationship. As much as I love Christian, he comes off as a player in this scene, and in the film as a whole. It was like he married Amy because it was easy and because she was there. She was brilliant and practical and wise beyond her years at this point. She was more of a proper lady than any of her sisters, and she was a total catch. They did her something of a disservice in this one.
as much as I love the recent Little Women, the chemistry between Amy and Laurie seem so much more intense and passionate here. I kinda like the straight forward and witty Laurie rather than Timothee Chalamet's Laurie (although Timothee is a good actor either way.)
Wow. People really are different because I see NO chemistry at all! It all feels so stiff and unnatural, I guess acting/directing really has progressed over the years.
@@primecreator5257 well, the 2019 is more dramatic while here it's more realistic. Both version shows no chemistry cause you know what? Laurie and Amy marriage on the basis of practicality. Laurie see Amy as a very good wife material. And Amy see Laurie as something that she could finally win over Jo. For me, Laurie much more interesting when he fell for Jo than Amy. I mean, Amy match what Jo always thought about what suits Laurie more. Elegant life. He didn't chose her cause she's Amy, but because she represents "elegant society".
Marrying for family is not as inoffensive nor is it as preposterous as people may have assumed it to be. I honestly could understand Laurie here because in truth he loved the March family and saw himself part of it. Culturally it's not unheard of back then. Even some cultures in SEA countries have circumstances like Laurie.
I wouldn't marry a man who was in love with my older sister. In one version you see Laurie reaching for a flower and then settling for a lower branch. I do like this Amy best. I think it showed especially as a child she was in love with Laurie. or in love with the idea of it. What I liked was how gentle the conversations with Amy and Laurie were. I found Florence Pugh amazing but ranting would not attract me. I am biased towards the 1994 version as I saw the film with my mum in the cinema.
No wonder why people hated amy before. This version amy is somehow weird, i am not saying the actress is not good, just the lines are weird and the delivery is not passionate enough
There it is. Sorry folks, but that's what really happened in the book. That's the true and genuine scene. And Samantha Mathis represents Amy's manners and character way better then Florence Pugh. There, I said it.
I love this version of Little Women. 😍 Hated 2019's version. Timothee's version of Laurie always looked too young and like little boy to me, could never take it seriously.
No one will ever convince me that Laurie and Amy were a pair that should've happened lol. In any version and especially not in the original one (the book). It never made sense and it never will.
He’s creepy in this version and you don’t actually feel like he cars for Amy.They have no chemistry which is down to the script I suppose.Everyone loves the new version because of Amy and lauries relationship and how it actually shows them falling in love, shes not just another option
Its creepy that he basically loves all the march girls and would marry anyone of them and he's also saying these things to amy. I wonder he married Amy bcz she was just easier to get? Meg was married, Jo rejected him,and beth was sick.
Yes Greta Gerwig's version is great .This is also a fine version. Got Wynona, Christian Bale, Claire Danes and the only things the new version cannot match- Kristen Dunst as a young Amy.
-Don't marry him -What? -Don't marry him -Why? -You know why -No... -Yes -No, you're being mean! I'm surprised by how different the two scenes are, I don't know which one I like more... I mean, I really like how the 2019 version is represented, but in this version interesting things are said.
Christian Bale as Laurie? Yes. Sign me up. Where can I watch this? I dont want to pay for it on RUclips, is it on Netflix by any chance? I love the 2019 version. But Im obsessed with Christian Bale
I think what the girls will miss in this scene is that he does really love her, he’s just afraid to say it. As I’m typing this actually, the scene is showing her now reading the letter where he admits it 😂
I mean, I wouldn’t marry a man who was in love with my older sister and then came to me, treating me like a second choice.
I might if it was the timothee chalamet version lol 😅
This is not his second choice. It's his mature love.
I much prefer the newer version. But I feel the same way
True that🦥
Love surprises us
His confession that he wants to marry a March girl is what ruins the thing for me. After that, how I'm going to believe he marries Amy for love?
i think he just wanted to stay close to Jo as well
the way their story is described in the book is so much deeper! they spend a lot of time together and they end up falling in love in a very mature, down to earth way.

- The 1978 version was the best.
He and Jo would have never worked. They would have argued and eventually resented each other.

Never truly loved her. He loved the idea of being in their family.
He loved Jo but as a friend. Sometimes pple get confused between friendly love and romantic.
Totally agree. I just don't understand why people are still salty about she marrying the professor. He was the best!

Despite Greta Gerwigs outstanding version with Saorsi Ronan, this is also a good version of Little women. Cast are excellent. Bale's physique is close to the book description. Even Timothy's version implies the same thing. Laurie is in love with the whole March family. a family he never had.
Why do you regard Gerwig's version so highly?

It makes him a villainous role. However, in reality laurie has always been a part of it. He knows that despite jo rejecting him, he can come back bcuz their families are so close. It's a warm and happy thing, instead of the role of a villain. He was once in love with jo bcuz she made him forget his worries and have all the fun in the world. It was like indulging in endless amounts of candy. Jo knew they weren't right, and he was not willing to accept that. His love for jo was toxic, he tries to persuade her into marrying him, says all sorts of childish things and acts irrationally. He was spoiled. However amy made him better, and he felt loved. There is the difference. The 2019 version did laurie's character better, as well as the relationship between amy and laurie. It wasn't just a ticket to get into the March family. He has always been part of it and still will be, but he loves jo, and later loves amy bcuz of his own will. These versions rlly ruin the character
This scene is wonderful, but imagine if this Amy gave the line on the economics of marrying for a woman that the 2019 film did so well to represent!!
Laurie must be daft. You shouldn't indirectly call the woman you want to marry a gold-digger.🤦🏽♀️
He wasn't, Amy said proudly all through her childhood she would never marry a poor man. It was her truth and he was acknowledging it since they grew up together
I actually love this scene. The 2019 version is good too but i like how blunt this scene is.
i remember watching this as a kid. still love this adaptation.
Christian Bale always putting out American Psycho vibe.
Exactly!
I can't with the way they deliver the lines, I'm sorry 😅🤷🏻♀️
She is just stupidly, angelically beautiful.
The costume, the house, the art, the green everywhere. Omg my eyes had a delight watching this random clip on my youtube feed.
This feels more like a play than a movie. Theyre reciting lines dramatically, not playing people.
The Amy and Laurie love of the 2019 version was so much better. You saw why Amy is the sister Laurie marries. You see why they're right for each other. This is cringe. He's clearly still not over Jo and he's just substituting her with her sister.
Why are people in the comments acting as if the actors are speaking in a weird manner while this is closest to the way they actually spoke during that era? So far I've only seen clips of the 2019 Little Women, but I can already tell that the silent beauty of this one surpasses that of the modern adaptation.
Mostly because they can't wrap their heads around life outside of 2021.
Agreed. I watched the 2019 version and was more annoyed than thrilled by it. It was a little too satisfied and smug in its progressiveness and really didn't match the era it purported to depict. I found it largely overacted and underwhelming. I found this version much more convincing, especially Marmee, with Susan Sarandon in the role. She really came across like a mother. Laura Dern's version was too obviously a modern feminist trying to hide in Civil War era clothing. She wasn't convincing at all. I just didn't believe in any of the relationships in the 2019 version, except maybe Jo and Beth's.
People see this with their 2021 eyes. They watch the 2019 version first and think of that one as the truest adaptation without even reading the book.
Imo the way they spoke kinda wierded me. Not the words
@@livinonacloud so true
Gosh this version shows you should not fix what is not broken! There was no need for a reboot! This was and will always be my favorite movie and only version of this movie.
Teddy in this is so sleasy. I prefer the 2019 version
I liked his portrayal of younger Laurie. But he seemed like a low-key creep in this scene.
I just like the 2019 version better, i'm sorry. I feel that not only is the acting better but the writing of the scene to be an emotional one is better as well. You can feel Amy's hearbreak more. You can sense Laurie realizing how immature he's been, thinking he could just have Amy with no qualms. And when they do get together it feels more natural, more deserved on Laurie's part, because that scene leaves space for him to know that their union would be one of love and not convenience or simple desire for companionship. The other factors, like Amy's practicality and Laurie's jealousy, are more spread out in the 2019 version rather than feeling packed in this one scene.
i didnt know zlatan was a victorian man
I really love this version! Didn't show much of the romance between Amy and Laurie but it captured the family and sisters bond pretty well! Also because of the cameras quality back then and the atmosphere here makes it really feel like the 1800s. Also the Greta Gerwig version is pretty good when it comes to romance, but here it captures the family spirit right! Loved both either way but this one really is closer to my heart.
It kind off saddens me that more people don’t prefer this version over Greta’s adaptation. I watched the original on DVD when I was around 8, and instantly fell in love with it. At the time I hadn’t read the novel so it was my first exposure to ‘Little Women’. Years later, I feel the 95 adaptation not only captures the atmosphere of and characterisation in the book better but it is also far superior in its casting.
I’m not putting down the cast of the new adaptation. Each of the main cast members are clearly excellent actors but some of them are just so miscast. Timothy Charlagamane for instance is excellent in the first half but not at all believable as adult Laurie. The decision to have an adult actress play child Amy was jarring to say the least. And some of Greta’s interpretations of the text just undermine the character development and story as a whole, in my opinion.
Yes child Amy was so unbelievable. Also the 2019 costuming won an award even though they were terrible and so inaccurate. If they did better with costuming it would’ve been easier to tell if it was a flashback or not.
Hey Everyone . I love any version of the movie
This seems more true to the book but of course the 2019 version has more dramatic effect
This is my favorite version. In my opinion the best version.
I always loved Christian bale as Laurie but before they got older. He was goofy in the young version he played in this movie. And I mean Susan Sarandon as the mom you can't go wrong. I ha e yet to watch the 2019 version but I always related to wynona Ryder as jo. Of course she'd choose amy over me. I'm ugly and awkward and always say the wrong thing. This statement always stayed with me when feeling like an outsider. I agree though I never liked older amy. She was nothing like the younger version which bothered me.
“did you hear from jo” LMFAOOOOO
The only thing I loved about this version was Claire Dane's acting. She was the only one that brought so much emotion into her scenes, such a phenomenol actress. But otherwise the plot of the 2019 version was 10x better. Much more powerful, logical and truer to the book. The cast of this version are great actors but the 2019 one just fits.
I have such mixed feelings now. I will always prefer Christian Bale as Laurie but Samantha Mathis totally sucked as Amy. 2019 Amy plus 1996 Laurie. Please.
I can get behind this. 🙂
I mean, the man's not wrong. We all want some sort of security.
In the new one they actually seem to be in love. This one is quite a bit different
Christian Bale has serial killer eyes in the first few seconds wtf
1994 will always have my heart. ♥️
Laurie has long been a friend of the March girls and being honest is his thing whether or not you want to hear it! He did something similar with Meg when she was pretending to be someone she wasn't.
No scenes of Laurie and Beth 😢
Christian Bale is actually super cute here
Christian Bale was soooo handsome in this!
This is Patrick Bateman's past life
This laurie with florence's Amy 😍
This dialogue really ruined their relationship. As much as I love Christian, he comes off as a player in this scene, and in the film as a whole. It was like he married Amy because it was easy and because she was there. She was brilliant and practical and wise beyond her years at this point. She was more of a proper lady than any of her sisters, and she was a total catch. They did her something of a disservice in this one.
as much as I love the recent Little Women, the chemistry between Amy and Laurie seem so much more intense and passionate here. I kinda like the straight forward and witty Laurie rather than Timothee Chalamet's Laurie (although Timothee is a good actor either way.)
Wow. People really are different because I see NO chemistry at all! It all feels so stiff and unnatural, I guess acting/directing really has progressed over the years.
@@primecreator5257 maybe just the acting. But this pair looks good comparing to 2019 version
@@primecreator5257 well, the 2019 is more dramatic while here it's more realistic. Both version shows no chemistry cause you know what? Laurie and Amy marriage on the basis of practicality. Laurie see Amy as a very good wife material. And Amy see Laurie as something that she could finally win over Jo. For me, Laurie much more interesting when he fell for Jo than Amy. I mean, Amy match what Jo always thought about what suits Laurie more. Elegant life. He didn't chose her cause she's Amy, but because she represents "elegant society".
There was chemistry here???
i agree. i wouldn't call it chemistry but the intense tension between them is so captivating
Omg it’s Bale
Marrying for family is not as inoffensive nor is it as preposterous as people may have assumed it to be. I honestly could understand Laurie here because in truth he loved the March family and saw himself part of it. Culturally it's not unheard of back then. Even some cultures in SEA countries have circumstances like Laurie.
Because...
I'M BATMAN!!!!!
I love those movie! I used to have an original copy of tje book
I wouldn't marry a man who was in love with my older sister. In one version you see Laurie reaching for a flower and then settling for a lower branch. I do like this Amy best. I think it showed especially as a child she was in love with Laurie. or in love with the idea of it. What I liked was how gentle the conversations with Amy and Laurie were. I found Florence Pugh amazing but ranting would not attract me. I am biased towards the 1994 version as I saw the film with my mum in the cinema.
"I'm going to marry Fred Vaughan."
"WHERE IS HE!? *punch* WHERE IS HE!?"
The best Laurie and Amy, hands down.
Timothee vs Christian. They are both so good but I think this roll fits Timothee more
When he looks at her I see "American Psycho". 😱😨
No wonder why people hated amy before. This version amy is somehow weird, i am not saying the actress is not good, just the lines are weird and the delivery is not passionate enough
There it is. Sorry folks, but that's what really happened in the book. That's the true and genuine scene. And Samantha Mathis represents Amy's manners and character way better then Florence Pugh. There, I said it.
Ah was waiting for someone to say this, almost word for word straight from the book.
😊
I agree that Samantha Mathis has more of amy's graceful elegant manner but this proposal is not even remotely close to what happened in the book lmao
I actually liked this better than the 2019...mostly because of christian freaking bale!!
These are great actors but i think the 2019 version with timothee chalema was better.
I was so disappointed with Timothee's Laurie.
This version is SO MUCH better. It's iconic. I can't have 2019 version in any way after Christian Bale and other amazing actors' performance here
Very nice
Let's see Paul Allen's confession
These two have *no* chemistry AT. ALL.
I love this version of Little Women. 😍 Hated 2019's version. Timothee's version of Laurie always looked too young and like little boy to me, could never take it seriously.
Timothee looks like a schoolboy I don't get the hype abt him...
exactly! Timothee looked 12. It was sooo weird.
I liked that they actually sound American in the 2019 version
No one will ever convince me that Laurie and Amy were a pair that should've happened lol. In any version and especially not in the original one (the book). It never made sense and it never will.
she has way more self control than i do 💀
this is the best version
He’s creepy in this version and you don’t actually feel like he cars for Amy.They
have no chemistry which is down to the script I suppose.Everyone loves the new version because of Amy and lauries relationship and how it actually shows them falling in love, shes not just another option
@@georgianash6635 Read the book, if you haven't already. I think this is closer to book.
So weird that 6 years later they would be in American Psycho together.
This is my preferred little women I tried watching the 2019 version and I couldn’t get into it.
SO. MUCH. BETTER. THAN. THE. NEW. MOVIE
The new version captures the reality of characters much better, these are great actors but wheres laurie's goofiness?
Its creepy that he basically loves all the march girls and would marry anyone of them and he's also saying these things to amy. I wonder he married Amy bcz she was just easier to get? Meg was married, Jo rejected him,and beth was sick.
omg, i thought of this too!
Although the 2019 version was good, I LOVE THIS VERSION BETTER. Has a better “feel” to it 🥰
I feel like just the casting options of Timothee Chalamet and Christian Bale are very different takes on Laurie
Yes Greta Gerwig's version is great .This is also a fine version. Got Wynona, Christian Bale, Claire Danes and the only things the new version cannot match- Kristen Dunst as a young Amy.
Do people forget she tells him "no i will not marry you for that reason."
IS THAT PATRICK BATEMAN?????
when u realized this was Patrick and Courtney😃
Love this movie❤ Please with little women from 2019 of Greta Gerwig❤
Damn this cannot COMPARE to the 2019 version. You can really tell the quality In script and acting
THE SEXUAL TENSION. Christian Bale had tons of swag in this movie.
Let's see Paul Allen's proposal.
-Don't marry him
-What?
-Don't marry him
-Why?
-You know why
-No...
-Yes
-No, you're being mean!
I'm surprised by how different the two scenes are, I don't know which one I like more... I mean, I really like how the 2019 version is represented, but in this version interesting things are said.
Christian Bale as Laurie? Yes. Sign me up. Where can I watch this? I dont want to pay for it on RUclips, is it on Netflix by any chance?
I love the 2019 version. But Im obsessed with Christian Bale
It's on Netflix (I assume you've watched it by now)
@@somjishu_ I live in the UK... It's not on UK Netflix
I think what the girls will miss in this scene is that he does really love her, he’s just afraid to say it. As I’m typing this actually, the scene is showing her now reading the letter where he admits it 😂
I'd forgotten how weird this scene was. I dislike the 2019 one but man at least they did this part better.
they got nothin on florence and timmy
Bale’s pants in this are fucking amazing

For some reason, it strains me with the look he looks at Amy 🤔
