I believe that Jo was his epic love who stole his heart and showed him how it is to be crazy for someone but Amy is his true love who gave him peace and showed him what real and returned love really is
@@chenalindelossantos967 I don't know man, remember when her mom asked her if she loves him. She couldn't say it because she doesn't love him. She said that she cared more to be loved and she was lonely.
@@chenalindelossantos967 respectfully, I disagree. I think that Jo loved her career more and then later on realized that she wanted love as well. I think that she just wanted Laurie because she knew he would make her feel loved, and she knew she loved him but I don’t think she was ever IN love with him
@@chenalindelossantos967 in the book, she’s not in love with laurie, she just doesn’t want to become a spinster and isn’t completely sold on Bhaer at the time.
I love the way he blushes after he admits Amy affectionately calls him “my lord” lol It’s like he finds it ridiculous but endearing at the same time, since he never viewed himself as “Mr Lawrence” he was always simply Laurie but it’s further testament to Amy shaping him into a man and helping him build his confidence and to take pride in his status and as her man 😏
It also highlights the difference between the nickname Jo has for him (Teddy) which is childish and fun; which depicts their relationship as well. Amy’s nickname for him on the other hand, is just like what you stated.
The way Laurie says "We are now man and wife" and the way he responds "Yes" to Jo that he's in love. For some reason, I could tell how much he has matured. You could tell the love he had between Jo and Amy is super different. I'm happy they didn't end up together, I really do think they're platonic Soulmates :)
Listen, ya'll are just living denial. Laurie marrying Amy was a huge dig at Jo. Laurie always knew that he loved Jo. Before Jo rejected Laurie, Laurie never even noticed Amy. Amy was always like the younger sister of Jo to him. That's it. But when Jo rejected Laurie, laurie met Amy in Europe and then he started liking Amy. And if you think Laurie and Amy were meant to be then why was Laurie a bit you know disturbed when Friedreich came to visit Jo. He was Disturbed! But then Laurie And Jo let by gones be by gones and lived on. "Jo was his epic love and Amy was his true love" is all bullshit.
@@talkdoi My dude relax- It's just my opinion 😅😅 I mean, I think he just seems disturbed because Laurie and Jo are still friends anyway, that doesn't mean he still can't be Jo's protective best friend 😂😂 I don't know anything about Laurie thinking Amy as a sister before but I still think that Laurie and Amy are meant to be together. It's cool that you have your own opinion about Laurie and Jo but relax 😅
Who told you i am not relaxed dude? Just because i am not using laughing emojis or terms like "dude" does not mean i am screaming and turning red over a petty comment on you tube or that i am not relaxed. Your opinion in is your opinion. That's fine. And another thing, i didn't say that Laurie thought of Amy as his sister, what i said was all Amy was to Laurie was Jo's younger sister meaning that he never noticed Amy specially before. He always felt a way for Jo and not the others. And you'll see that Laurie isn't disturbed as a friend, because when friedreich came, even if Laurie was disturbed as a friend there is no legit logic in it. Doesn't matter, i know you are gonna reply with 'my opinion' and all, so there is not point of this. You keep ur opinion to your self, i keep mine to myself.
@@talkdoi If you read the book, Laurie makes it clear that he fell out of love with Jo long before he fell in love with Amy. What he felt for Jo was just puppy love. I think he was just enchanted with her because she was so different from most girls her age at the time. He eventually grew out of her and realized that his love for her changed - he loved her as a friend. Amy grew up and matured, she was no longer a child - thats when he started noticing her and fell in love with her new character. It never felt like he settled or saw Amy as a second chance, there was a natural shift, as if Laurie and Amy were meant to be all along. I think the actors in this movie did a good job portraying that but I wish there were more scenes with them from the book, then it would've made more sense because there was a lot that was left out. I don't think marrying Amy was a dig at Jo because she doesn't really care lol, she only saw Laurie as a brother and Laurie knew that. Seemed like he geniunely moved on and found true love with Amy that was very different from the love he felt with Jo.
@@talkdoi I never felt like he married Amy to get back at jo or settled. he got over jo and realized that the love he felt for her changed to as a friend. It wasn't about Jo anymore. it seemed like he gradually fell in love with Amy. she challenged him in a way that Jo never did and he developed true love for her.
Jo didn’t loved Laurie, she loved the idea of being loved. Laurie didn’t lived jo, he loved the idea of having a woman who cared for him in his life. But in the end they cared about each other, that’s why they were good friends.
He did love her. It's just that his love for Amy is different. I mean, he did say it. His love for jo hurt him so much while amy gave him peace, to which he learned to love. Maybe Laurie thought back then there was only one way to love, and it was through Jo. But Amy taught him that love can be chosen.
@@cheesie9660 Laurie loved jo and he even said that he always loved her when he's already married to amy. indeed he said his love for amy is different but the fact that jo is the one who changed Laurie to be a better person and bcoz he loves her so much that he didn't regret anything but then he back to his old self after jo rejected him. he then accepted amy because he knows how it feels like to be rejected and yes jo didn't loved Laurie romantically she just feels so lonely and wanted to be loved so she thought she's just gonna say yes to Laurie if only he asked her again but Laurie also think the same way he wanted to be loved too so he accepted Amy who always loves him from the beginning which also reminds him of his feelings for jo.
@@kabirsardana1282 I feel that way too, and I swear a lot of other people don’t see it that way, even when especially in this adaptation it’s really obvious.
The way Laurie answered " Yes, but i like that " in tiny and giggles when Jo asked " Did she bother you all the way... " is just...ughhhhh. I love it so so so much 😭
@Jasmine Murray Jo is "annoying" yeah okay, it's not her fault that she prioritizes her passions and her dreams more than just love. she's much more worthy than just sitting at home with a man. she wasn't ready for Laurie. don't put her down to bring amy up, you can appreciate both of them.
@@mamathoda I don't find Jo annoying but I don't think its about bring up one or pushing down the other. I think it's about the choices that we make whether right or wrong we have to learn to live with them. The fact of the matter is she made a mistake with Laurie. She was too afraid of being tied down and chained up by the traditional husband and wife role and what society expected of her that she couldn't see at the time that Laurie wasn't the type to go for tradition or what everyone expects of him. That a relationship with Laurie wouldn't have her tied down that she could've been free to become who ever she wanted to be with him. That he would've supporting her as a true equal partner. Lucky for Amy she was able to get it before she made a similar mistake. The point is u don't sacrifice what u need in life for what u desire and to able to discern between the two. We all need love in our lives whatever form it may take whether be man, woman, or whatever its basic human function that you shouldn't put to the side and hope it will take care of itself. It is not that Amy is better than Jo or Jo is better than Amy they both made choices that they learned from and that will help them grow. Jo was always in love with Laurie she just figured it out too late and Amy always knew she loved him but was too afraid to accept it but at least for Amy it wasn't too late for her. Even though Jo missed the mark it doesn't mean it’s the end but a new opportunity because sometimes life does give second chances sorry if I ranted a lot lol 😂 😆 🤣 but the point is don't waste your chances in life because you don't know if you'll get second one.
This may or may not be an unpopular opinion, but I always felt like Jo should have stayed single and never gotten married. It just felt weird that she would be tied down to any man ever
It felt weird because it was forced by the editors of the book at the time. LMA originally wrote it that Jo did not marry at all. That is why the relationship with the professor in this story feels completely out of place.
Dang that makes sense then!!! I’ve never read the book, but I’ve seen most of the remakes and Jo’s romance with the professor always seem awkward and out of place. Jo is such a independent woman who truly marches to the beat of her own drum and the editors where stupid to have Louise Mary Alcott change her story to fit the traditional norms for a woman of the time, when the whole point of her character was to be untraditional and forward thinking!!!
Tied down sounds pretty hard. Jo grew up. She was a independent, strong willed, smart person. Who learnt to come to compromises to accept the fact, that not every relationship is forced by society. To accept the fact, that romantic relationship is something more then a chain on your leg(if you choose right partner). If she never married then it would look like author telling us to never start evolving always clinging up upon out radical views(because eny radical view is childish and hurtful). Jo March was a person of strong values and principles, great will power, and in the end she became to piece, finally finding right partner and letting herself relax(still working on something she love). That how becoming a good person works. Stop turning everything into power struggle. In every society, in every ideology or country. There are still good people, normal relationships. Letting our lives to turn into constant battle is what makes us unfree, because all our actions will be dictated by hate towards something. That what she realized in the end. She finally totally free. She always made her own decisions. Relationship is not something that tieing you down.
The confidence and little smile he has when he says “yes.” Is so sweet. And the line where he says “my love for Amy is different. I think we would have killed each other.” Is his acceptance of reality - their relationship would’ve crashed and burned.
at first i was upset because jo and teddy didn't end up together, bun now i understand why teddy did what he did. Jo wasn't really in love with him, she felt guilty and missed her best friend. teddy knows that and i think he is a lot happier with amy because they both feel an equal amount of love for each other.
Finally, Someone who looked deeper in their story! I don't really understand people who always say that Amy and Laurie's love story is boring and dull. Like, their story is far more interesting than Laurie and Jo. Friedrich and Jo's story is also far more interesting than Jo and Laurie.
I think someday there should be a movie that is mostly the adult Amy and Laurie story based on the book. As much of an improvement the adult Amy is in the latest adaptation it still doesn't tell the whole story and only looks at her difficult moments with Laurie. I would love to see more of Amy's and Laurie's growing relationship after Amy's earlier lectures. There was the party that Laurie escorts Amy to that first hints of their growing attraction to each other. There was the stretch of time where Laurie tried to compose music to get over his feelings for Jo and begins to discover Amy's influence on him. During their separate travels Amy and Laurie would write letters to each other on all kinds of topics, and it helped them realize how much they had come to care for each other. After the passing of Beth, Laurie returned to Amy to comfort her and by that time they knew that they loved each other. They would spend more travel time together before Laurie's rowboat proposal. The book describes in more detail the mature young woman adult Amy had become and that she was no longer the selfish baby sister she once was. It would be nice to see a movie that explores more of that side of her.
Jo wanted to be loved rater than really loved Laurie. The way Laurie smiles saying ''yes'' was so adorable , when Jo asked him ''Are you in love?" We know Laurie and Amy really love each other. Mutual love.....
They seem so awkward now. And did anyone hear Laurie say "yes but I liked that"? About Amy bothering him with her preening? 1:24 I can't hear it properly but that's what it sounds like
I heard “I liked that” too @Diana Gonzalez , and I think it’s cuter because it shows that he truly loves Amy for who she really is. And he is still defending Amy from Jo. While Jo doesn’t take her sister seriously, Laurie sees her as her own person who is endearing to him. I agree with you on the end, he seemed jealous of Jo’s ability to love someone. But I think it’s just his own words becoming true, because he told Jo that she would find and love someone completely. And if that was true, then what Jo said in that conversation is also true. They wouldn’t have worked together, like he says here. It’s him finally coming completely to terms with it and in the end he is completely happy with Amy, more so than he could have been with Jo
@@ellebean759 In a later chapter in the book Amy and Laurie are setting up their new home. Laurie assures Amy that he would be happy to see Jo and the professor get married. Amy is privately satisfied with Laurie's response as she was perhaps a little worried that he might be possessive about Jo. I think in the movie when Bhaer first visits Jo Laurie is now more the concerned brother watching over his sister. In the book there would be more visits by Bhaer to see Jo, which would give Laurie a chance to get to know him better and be convinced that he is a good fit for her.
Honestly it felt like although Jo loves Laurie she’s not in love with him, and it’s like she is only choosing to marry him out of convenience because she feels like she isn’t going to make it as a writer and knows that in that society a woman needs a husband to survive 🤷♀️
Gotta say, I greatly disliked that one thing about the movie. In the book they really wanted the other one to be happy! There was no melodrama, only heart-to-heart talk. After he got married to Amy, he called Jo his sister and it was made believable that he was over her. And Jo might have changed her mind about the importance of being loved therefore regretted turning him down hastily, like in the movie, but she was always sure SHE didn’t love him in that way. In addition she was relieved he and Amy got married and very relieved he was over her, so that they could be friends again, not at all surprised about the engagement, she even hoped for it. She mentioned it once way before it happened. And her mother shared her oppinion in all of these matters.
@@leftphalange1606 I believe the book and the movie have their flaws. In the book, Amy and Laurie’s relationship seem unnatural, and although Laurie seems to feel something for Amy, right before he proposes to her he sends a letter to Jo, asking if she is sure about turning him down. Amy and Laurie’s courtship is much more developed in this version. She loves him since the start, and they have scenes together before Paris, which makes it more believable. Even if Jo doesn't feel anything romantic towards Laurie, it’s only natural that she is sad about losing the childish bond she had with him, since now he’s a married man. I really think the movie lifted the quality of the story and made its characters more human.
You can see it in his eyes and facial expression that he was meant to be with Amy and he truly lives her when jo asked if they were in love and he said yes
Jo didn't love him as a man, she even said it "I can't say yes truly, so I won't say it at all". Years later, she write that letter just because she realized she would be lonely for ever. That's the true.
this scene strikes me so hard. though it differs from the book, and despite all the different view points on their relationship…i can truly say that either way, in the manner that this particular scene is carried out, it represents losing the idea of someone forever. losing the safety net of a person you’ve always loved, whether “in love” or not. it represents the end of an era. it represents the painstaking goodbye of what could’ve been. and that is a hard reality we all must face someday.
I honestly loved Jo's character. She was independent, cared for her family deeply, always chased her dreams and overall a really strong character. Jo was childish sometimes but never did anything to hurt her family, really strong willed. She even sold her hair for her mother's trip. In the end Laurie seemed a little jealous by asking about Friedrich and it is obvious he has a soft spot for her.
I have never read the book so the following opinion is based solely off of this movie. I truly think that Amy and Laurie were meant to be together. As said in the film Laurie loved Jo however he loved the idea of her that he had created in his head not the true her. He even said that he changed himself in order for him to like him more which is not necessary a good thing in a marriage. Plus when talking to Marmee Jo never actually says she’s in love with Laurie, just that she wants to be loved. Meaning she liked the security that she would have with Laurie, not necessarily him. However, Amy on the other hand loved him for him. Of course she idolized him when she was young but as they got older she saw his faults and still loved him. And I truly think that Laurie realized this and began to fall for her because she accepted him (among other reasons). I think like they’ve both said, had Laurie and Jo ended up together it would’ve ended badly. I think that Laurie and Jo were soulmates, but platonic ones. I think that Laurie and Amy are each other’s true loves for they see the others faults and still loves them. Plus if you watch scenes where Laurie is with Amy or talks about her, it is clear that he’s got it bad for her. Also I fully believe that Jo is a lesbian so they wouldn’t have worked out lol
Yeah, Jo ends up with Mr. Bhear and happy, with a house full of children. Just because she didn't want to get married right away and she didn't like her expected role as woman, doesn't make her a lesbian.
While I understand that Jo did not feel romantically towards Laurie, one thing I have always loved is how she and only she always calls him Teddy. It breaks my heart though, because in the books, there is actually a moment when Amy calls him Teddy while lecturing him and Laurie (in heartbreak) gets upsets and tell her not to because that's Jo's name for him. Of course, this is not an attack on his relationship with Amy, just that paired with this scene where he smiles at Jo and says only she ever calls him Teddy, it really shows the tender place in his heart for Jo, no matter what their relationship
I understand Amy and Teddy are romantic soulmates and Jo and Teddy are platonic soulmates, but the chemistry Jo and Teddy had was just extraordinary. I cant help but love and adore them and wished they had gotten together.
I can’t believe how much they changed this beloved book, which was perfect as it is. This NEVER happened in the book! Read it! Jo never regretted not marrying Teddy. She was madly in love with Professor Baer! Why did they feel the need to change the plot of the movie?
Thanks for letting us know, it doesn't show here that she's madly in love with the professor. It made it look like the story was developed more on Laurie and Jo
I didn’t see this as her regretting not being with Teddy, but seeing his contentment and happiness with Amy just making her feel wistful and generally lonely, which is how it’s described in the book.
*Well, you look deserving of it.* 2:44 the way she says this hurts, but she knows Amy is a better match for him. I'm so glad they still continue to be friends, regardless of everything.
It's hard for a lot of people to understand platonic soulmates especially between a guy and a girl. However, I have one so it makes perfect sense to me how Laurie ends up falling in love with Amy and marrying her. However, until this movie, no director or actors had portrayed that platonic love, maturing of Amy and Laurie, or how adult feelings for someone are much different than childhood ones. It's why the term "puppy love," was invented. Also, I feel like Timothee Chalamet portrayed Laurie in this scene as someone who has finally learned the difference between loving someone and being in love with them which as is said here, he never loved Jo like he loves Amy meaning Laurie realizes he was never in love with Jo after falling in love with Amy.
To me I think Jo was that epic first love when you feel the whirlwind of emotions and you are absolutely crazy over them. Amy was his true love, the one he was meant to be with and mature with. True love is just as powerful as First love but it’s a different feeling. It’s less chaotic and more calming. You feel at peace with them. They feel like home. And it’s who you truly belong with.
i know many disagree but i am so glad they didn’t end up together. she couldn’t love him, although she convinced herself she did, she didn’t see him like that. having them end up together would have erased so much about her character
Jo didn't deserve Laurie because she didn't want him to confess to her again bc she was in love with him, but rather because she just felt lonely. I'm glad they didn't end up together
I love how he was like can we still be friends. It'd like yeah they are adults but they haven't lost that childlike essence that makes then such good characters.
These two actors...wow! Throughout the film and in this scene especially, they express so much through their eyes, facial expressions and movements - all done with such subtlety and naturalism - both of them are incredibly masterful performers that really "live" their characters. This film was a complete joy to watch two young actors with such depth of talent and skill.
Honestly this was the most heartbreaking and Honestly wholesomely adult way of breaking someone's heart. I wish people could behave like this more often nowadays
Instead all of opinions in comments I never can realise what I think about Jo and Laurie. Sometimes I think they perfect for each other, sometimes I realized they are more friends than lovers. One thing is truly about them is that they are meant a lot for each other
"She tears through the woods and finally stands by the river, breathing heavily. For one moment, we believe that she might end her suffering in the most tragic way - she leans towards the river... ...and throws the letter into it, letting it drift away, along with her childhood love. It is over." This was an excerpt from the script. Idc what anyone says, Jo loved Laurie. It was too late. Too late. 😔
Louise May Alcott regretted letting the editors insist Jo marry in the end. She herself was a spinster and likely gay (look it up, she straight up said “I’ve fallen for so many pretty girls and nary one man”) and originally Jo was meant to be an independent writer, reflecting her own life. So I just pretend that’s what happened.
i mean what's cool about the ending is how implicative it is. they tied the scene with jo marrying off her protagonist so that her book would be sold with jo meeting the professor under the umbrella. i think they even gave it the same name, "the scene under the umbrella". so you don't even have to pretend!! it's a cool meta moment where the filmmakers played homage to the original book ending while acknowledging that the author (and jo) would have preferred to have left her unmarried, and her getting married was (and still is) about satisfying gender expectations. i just really love this film, haha.
I don't care what anyone says. Is so weird he ended up with her sister. From all the people, he married her sister. I don't like it one bit. If that happened to me, a guy who swore he loves me, it would feel like he never really did.
Notice in her dream she's walking up the stairs to the school, as Laurie's voice interrupts, waking her up. She's remembering what it was like to walk up those steps snd lay her eyes on Frederich, her love interest. She doesnt know it yet that its him
Whoever is saying the smile he had when he said says that "He never actually loved Jo just the idea of being loved and his true love was actually Amy" you're bullshitting yourself. He did infact love Jo like crazy. She was the one who taught him to love someone, his first love. Yes when he got rejected, it took him years but he simply got over that love and fell for Amy. Simple. It doesn't have to mean that he never loved Jo
I was in a relationship where I'm really in love with that person. It's a long relationship and it did not end well. After 5yrs I've met someone who really loved me and I loved him back, I felt secured and didn't need him to assure me of his love and I thought that this is how love should be.
When he said "I like that" about her preening When he said "my wife" and "we are man and wife" -- you can see in his facial expression that he was proud to say that. When he said "Yes" when asked if they were in love... When he said that Amy calls him "my lord," he looked so giddy. He's really wipped for his wife!! This scene just gives me all the butterflies.
insane cope😭😭 dude just settled for his backup option bcos he thought the women he truly loved rejected him. why is everyone tryna convince themselves that lauri preferred amy when the entire movie shows & tells us the complete opposite
He loved Jo, she said no because she is afraid of something, he still loves her. ‘Can we please be friends PLEASE!’ This story didn’t have a good ending. Their two families tore them apart. You don’t beg to be friends w your ex after ur married
I wanted Laurie and jo to end up together. 😭 It's sad Jo realised her love for Laurie too late. I wish Laurie waited for jo for some more time. All jo wanted was to support her family and chase her dreams. She was free spirited. Sigh! Amy really was the golden child of the family! She grew up annoying her sisters, went to Europe with her aunt, did what she wanted and finally married her love who was wealthy.😭 I want to give jo a tight hug!! ❤️
But Jo didn't love him the way Amy loved him. Jo loved him like a brother. Not as a husband. Jo only considered marrying Laurie because she was lonely, and not because she was in love with him. She has romantic feelings for Friedrich. Louisa May Alcott never wanted Jo to be married in the end. She wanted Jo to remain a spinster.
laurie waited for jo FOR SO FUCKING LONG. jo never loved laurie and could never love him the way he used to love her bc she only saw him as a friend. they only reason she wanted him was because she was lonely and she admitted she was lonely. laurie said his love for amy is different meaning it’s real, he looks so relaxed w amy.
It might just be because I love Timothee and siaorse’s performance in all they films they have together but I really was heartbroken when jo said no when he proposed😭
He loves Jo and he will always love her deep inside ...their love was authentic you can tell by the way he looks at her he admires her it's not the same with Amy and it will never be..
it will never be the same because he loves amy *romantically*, whereas his love for jo is more platonic, and brotherly. he believed he loved her in youth, but he didnt really understand what true romantic love was, until having spent time with amy in france.
@@julesberry1252In the book I believe so but in the movie I don't agree..If you notice the little details the way he looks at her the sparkle in his eyes ,his admiration when she is passionate about something,the way he reacts whenever she is close to him,he was feeling like a little kid full of joy and life with her..His love for her was pure and clear ...I agree he loves Amy but I think with Jo was something deeper a soul connection that made him want to be a better version of himself .. It's different to be called by your wife my "Lord" and Teddy ..
@@marilou646 he said the love he has for amy is a different type of love meaning he never loved jo the way he loves amy. jo brought out the child in him, the playfulness in him but amy brings out the man and matureness in him. he’s in love love with amy. he even agrees that him and jo would’ve never worked out. so i think he does love amy more than jo.
@@hayhayya13 if what you told was accurate then he loved them both because you said he has a different type of love for Amy and that doesn't make him love her more .. I respect your opinion but I think true love brings out the child within us not the immatur and irresponsible one but the one that wants to dream to love without being afraid of getting hurt to live every moment in its fullest!!
@@marilou646 he said “listen i loved u jo but the love i have for amy is different.” meaning the love he has for her is stronger and means more to him. the love he had for jo was more like brotherly love if that makes sense. i respect ur opinion too. but laurie really needed amy with him. he loves her for her and she loves him for him even with their faults. but the love he had for jo was just the way he fantasized her to be. and he realized that after he fell in love with amy when he said “now i agree with you that we would have probably killed eachother” if they got married.
Jo didn’t love him like he loved her, she was just afraid to be lonely. And Laurie didn’t love Amy the way Amy loved him, but loved her in a more mature way than he did Jo. And I will die with this opinion.
I will make my own ending to this story where Jo and Laurie are together forever, when I watched this version I could not sleep thinking they did not end up together 😅 so I will make my own version of it in my head 😂
I'm loving this I'm absolutely love and miss she going to sit up there and tell him how everything is wrong with her and everything is wrong with him and how they can't be together but the look on her face when he told her that he got married you could tell that she instantly regretted her decision but now there's nothing she can do to make that backup that's raw as heck
This is what it means to move on and to accept that some things are not meant to be. His idealization of love when he was younger compared to what love really is, admirable. And on top of that, how he says his love for Amy and how he tells her that they would've killed each other.
Very unpopular option but I still think teddy and jo should have been together. Maybe it’s just because their relationship reminds me a lot of Anne and Gilbert’s from Anne of Green Gables
hahaha in the books he also calls amy "my lady". its a running joke they have. but i agree that timmy's performance here absolutely makes it seem that way. the little smirk is too telling.
I still believe Jo didn't marry at all, the ending where she was married are just part of the book she published-- just as what the publisher liked, a happily ever after ending.
It feels like she was ready to settle for him, rather than actually loving and wanting to marry him. So I’m very happy him and Amy ended up together. Cause jo would not have enjoyed being married just for the sake of being married
I got confused when he announced that he and amy were married, because it was so quick. Somebody explain their love story for me, i just finished the movie
When you get a chance you should read the book for a more detailed look of how Amy and Laurie fall in love as young adults. It all happens overseas while they are both separately traveling Europe. They would spend some time together in France where they begin to notice each other and where Amy scolds Laurie on his laziness and lack of goals. They would continue to travel separately and send letters to each other as Laurie gradually realizes he has to move on from Jo after he writes Jo one last time (and she says no in her letter back to him). They would reunite after Beth's passing and spend additional time together before Laurie proposes. They wrote of their engagement to the family, so everyone knew and that was not a surprise. Their arrival home as married, however, was.
I fully refuse to watch the film and read the second book cos it breaks my heart that he wouldn't wait for Jo to get on the same page and for her to realise they can have their own dynamic and it doesn't have to look like Meg's relationship, so I'm with you 😘
@@annabellex3559 that was never going to happen in the book, her feelings would’ve never truly changed. She would’ve just gave in as she said in all the adaptations they would’ve never been actually happy as man and wife
I think that Amy was a better fit for Laurie but I balled my eyes out so hard when particularly in this version I found out Laurie wasn't going to marry Jo but Amy
I feel like Laurie was jo’s safety option. She thought he’d always be available to her No matter what. But in this scene, really hurts not only, he didn’t wait for her, he married her sister.. bitter sweet but you can tell Amy and Laurie have true love.. just awkward he loves/loved joe too.
Jo never regretted turning Laurie down. This scene is awful, it makes her look desperate. In the book, she was very happy to see him and to learn of his marriage. I hate when people mess with the classics.
What you have to decide... is how you want your life to be. if your forever was ending tomorrow, would this be how you'd want to have spent it? listen, the truth is, nothing is guaranteed. you know that more than anybody. so dont be afraid, be alive.
The sountrack am looking for is right b4 laurie work jo up as she was dreaming about newyork. right where she cames of the train pls someone !!!!!!! I cant find it
Beautiful thought
I am afraid to love though!
This remind me of fight club

John 3:16 ESV
For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
I believe that Jo was his epic love who stole his heart and showed him how it is to be crazy for someone but Amy is his true love who gave him peace and showed him what real and returned love really is
Strongly agree.
Omg this YESSSS
This was beautifully explained! but how am i supposed to know which is real and greater 😭
Omg so perfectly said
Well said! Reminds me a bit of Elena and Stefan, and Caroline and Stefan…… without all the extra drama and supernatural aspect 😂
this version actually did Amy so good, she's always been my favorite and to see her be played so immaculately gives me so much serotonin
yes i love florence pugh
Amy is your favorite from the book? Or just all the film versions?
after the burning book scene; oh no! :/
Amy is quite annoying, no?
@@vsnnyc721 yes she is. Amy was my least favorite. She was vain selfish and spoiled.
Actually Jo is not even In love with him. I'm glad they didn't end up together because they both deserve better.
Yup, I mean look at her eyes when she first met bhaer and how she becomes foolish around him.
i think she was actually in love with him, but she's more in love with her career. but the moment she realized her feelings was too late.
@@chenalindelossantos967 I don't know man, remember when her mom asked her if she loves him. She couldn't say it because she doesn't love him. She said that she cared more to be loved and she was lonely.
@@chenalindelossantos967 respectfully, I disagree. I think that Jo loved her career more and then later on realized that she wanted love as well. I think that she just wanted Laurie because she knew he would make her feel loved, and she knew she loved him but I don’t think she was ever IN love with him
@@chenalindelossantos967 in the book, she’s not in love with laurie, she just doesn’t want to become a spinster and isn’t completely sold on Bhaer at the time.
As a child reading the book, Laurie marrying Amy crushed me but as an adult I 100% get it
Oooh
Yess
Why does it still crush me as an adult 😭
Yes
@@teamtheguywhoalmosthitbela6683 exactly I'm dying so much. I don't know how I'll ever feel if I do mistakes like these
The way he smiles when he says that he loves amy is so sweet 🥺🥺🥺🥺
I love the way he blushes after he admits Amy affectionately calls him “my lord” lol It’s like he finds it ridiculous but endearing at the same time, since he never viewed himself as “Mr Lawrence” he was always simply Laurie but it’s further testament to Amy shaping him into a man and helping him build his confidence and to take pride in his status and as her man 😏
I noticed it too. I was searching for this comment.
I always thought he was joking when he said that.
As a adult I still don't get it 😫 Like I do but I don't
It also highlights the difference between the nickname Jo has for him (Teddy) which is childish and fun; which depicts their relationship as well. Amy’s nickname for him on the other hand, is just like what you stated.
The way Laurie says "We are now man and wife" and the way he responds "Yes" to Jo that he's in love. For some reason, I could tell how much he has matured. You could tell the love he had between Jo and Amy is super different. I'm happy they didn't end up together, I really do think they're platonic Soulmates :)
Listen, ya'll are just living denial. Laurie marrying Amy was a huge dig at Jo. Laurie always knew that he loved Jo. Before Jo rejected Laurie, Laurie never even noticed Amy. Amy was always like the younger sister of Jo to him. That's it. But when Jo rejected Laurie, laurie met Amy in Europe and then he started liking Amy. And if you think Laurie and Amy were meant to be then why was Laurie a bit you know disturbed when Friedreich came to visit Jo. He was Disturbed! But then Laurie And Jo let by gones be by gones and lived on. "Jo was his epic love and Amy was his true love" is all bullshit.
@@talkdoi My dude relax- It's just my opinion 😅😅
I mean, I think he just seems disturbed because Laurie and Jo are still friends anyway, that doesn't mean he still can't be Jo's protective best friend 😂😂
I don't know anything about Laurie thinking Amy as a sister before but I still think that Laurie and Amy are meant to be together. It's cool that you have your own opinion about Laurie and Jo but relax 😅
Who told you i am not relaxed dude? Just because i am not using laughing emojis or terms like "dude" does not mean i am screaming and turning red over a petty comment on you tube or that i am not relaxed. Your opinion in is your opinion. That's fine. And another thing, i didn't say that Laurie thought of Amy as his sister, what i said was all Amy was to Laurie was Jo's younger sister meaning that he never noticed Amy specially before. He always felt a way for Jo and not the others. And you'll see that Laurie isn't disturbed as a friend, because when friedreich came, even if Laurie was disturbed as a friend there is no legit logic in it. Doesn't matter, i know you are gonna reply with 'my opinion' and all, so there is not point of this. You keep ur opinion to your self, i keep mine to myself.
@@talkdoi If you read the book, Laurie makes it clear that he fell out of love with Jo long before he fell in love with Amy. What he felt for Jo was just puppy love. I think he was just enchanted with her because she was so different from most girls her age at the time. He eventually grew out of her and realized that his love for her changed - he loved her as a friend. Amy grew up and matured, she was no longer a child - thats when he started noticing her and fell in love with her new character. It never felt like he settled or saw Amy as a second chance, there was a natural shift, as if Laurie and Amy were meant to be all along. I think the actors in this movie did a good job portraying that but I wish there were more scenes with them from the book, then it would've made more sense because there was a lot that was left out. I don't think marrying Amy was a dig at Jo because she doesn't really care lol, she only saw Laurie as a brother and Laurie knew that. Seemed like he geniunely moved on and found true love with Amy that was very different from the love he felt with Jo.
@@talkdoi I never felt like he married Amy to get back at jo or settled. he got over jo and realized that the love he felt for her changed to as a friend. It wasn't about Jo anymore. it seemed like he gradually fell in love with Amy. she challenged him in a way that Jo never did and he developed true love for her.
Jo didn’t loved Laurie, she loved the idea of being loved. Laurie didn’t lived jo, he loved the idea of having a woman who cared for him in his life. But in the end they cared about each other, that’s why they were good friends.
He loved her. What's ur definition of love then, lol
@@LaaNa-eq5hc did read the comment or what? 🤣
@@karyandrea3801 have u?
He did love her. It's just that his love for Amy is different. I mean, he did say it. His love for jo hurt him so much while amy gave him peace, to which he learned to love. Maybe Laurie thought back then there was only one way to love, and it was through Jo. But Amy taught him that love can be chosen.
@@cheesie9660 Laurie loved jo and he even said that he always loved her when he's already married to amy. indeed he said his love for amy is different but the fact that jo is the one who changed Laurie to be a better person and bcoz he loves her so much that he didn't regret anything but then he back to his old self after jo rejected him. he then accepted amy because he knows how it feels like to be rejected and yes jo didn't loved Laurie romantically she just feels so lonely and wanted to be loved so she thought she's just gonna say yes to Laurie if only he asked her again but Laurie also think the same way he wanted to be loved too so he accepted Amy who always loves him from the beginning which also reminds him of his feelings for jo.
I'm so happy with how they managed it here because they made it clear that Jo only wanted him to soothe her loneliness not because she loved him
pretty selfish, dont you think???
@@kabirsardana1282 I feel that way too, and I swear a lot of other people don’t see it that way, even when especially in this adaptation it’s really obvious.
@@kabirsardana1282 but she made it clear she didn't loved him
When Laurie proposed Jo wanted to find herself, she found herself lonely.
@@TausifAhmad03 That is an excellent line
“What does Amy call you?”
“My lord”
I can’t, that’s so cute 😭
yes and his smile when he says it is everything
The way he smiled when he said yes is just.... U know the man really loves Amy when he smiles so hard to such a question 🤣🤣😃😃
His face when he says he's in love with Amy and 'my lord' . Lmao cute.
when laurie talk about amy , laurie's entire face beamed with happiness. This scene touch my heart.
The way Laurie answered " Yes, but i like that " in tiny and giggles when Jo asked " Did she bother you all the way... " is just...ughhhhh. I love it so so so much 😭
I loved how he ended up with amy instead of jo
@Jasmine Murray lol, no.
@Jasmine Murray Jo is "annoying" yeah okay, it's not her fault that she prioritizes her passions and her dreams more than just love. she's much more worthy than just sitting at home with a man. she wasn't ready for Laurie. don't put her down to bring amy up, you can appreciate both of them.
@@mamathoda yussss
@@mamathoda I don't find Jo annoying but I don't think its about bring up one or pushing down the other. I think it's about the choices that we make whether right or wrong we have to learn to live with them. The fact of the matter is she made a mistake with Laurie. She was too afraid of being tied down and chained up by the traditional husband and wife role and what society expected of her that she couldn't see at the time that Laurie wasn't the type to go for tradition or what everyone expects of him. That a relationship with Laurie wouldn't have her tied down that she could've been free to become who ever she wanted to be with him. That he would've supporting her as a true equal partner. Lucky for Amy she was able to get it before she made a similar mistake. The point is u don't sacrifice what u need in life for what u desire and to able to discern between the two. We all need love in our lives whatever form it may take whether be man, woman, or whatever its basic human function that you shouldn't put to the side and hope it will take care of itself. It is not that Amy is better than Jo or Jo is better than Amy they both made choices that they learned from and that will help them grow. Jo was always in love with Laurie she just figured it out too late and Amy always knew she loved him but was too afraid to accept it but at least for Amy it wasn't too late for her. Even though Jo missed the mark it doesn't mean it’s the end but a new opportunity because sometimes life does give second chances sorry if I ranted a lot lol 😂 😆 🤣 but the point is don't waste your chances in life because you don't know if you'll get second one.
@Jasmine Murray did you actually read the book?
This may or may not be an unpopular opinion, but I always felt like Jo should have stayed single and never gotten married. It just felt weird that she would be tied down to any man ever
It felt weird because it was forced by the editors of the book at the time. LMA originally wrote it that Jo did not marry at all. That is why the relationship with the professor in this story feels completely out of place.
Dang that makes sense then!!! I’ve never read the book, but I’ve seen most of the remakes and Jo’s romance with the professor always seem awkward and out of place. Jo is such a independent woman who truly marches to the beat of her own drum and the editors where stupid to have Louise Mary Alcott change her story to fit the traditional norms for a woman of the time, when the whole point of her character was to be untraditional and forward thinking!!!
If that happened I would kill the cast
Tied down sounds pretty hard. Jo grew up. She was a independent, strong willed, smart person. Who learnt to come to compromises to accept the fact, that not every relationship is forced by society. To accept the fact, that romantic relationship is something more then a chain on your leg(if you choose right partner). If she never married then it would look like author telling us to never start evolving always clinging up upon out radical views(because eny radical view is childish and hurtful). Jo March was a person of strong values and principles, great will power, and in the end she became to piece, finally finding right partner and letting herself relax(still working on something she love). That how becoming a good person works. Stop turning everything into power struggle. In every society, in every ideology or country. There are still good people, normal relationships. Letting our lives to turn into constant battle is what makes us unfree, because all our actions will be dictated by hate towards something. That what she realized in the end. She finally totally free. She always made her own decisions. Relationship is not something that tieing you down.
@@DvornyashkaDiaries I get your point but that was not the intent for Jo. It was forced on the author at the time.
“she called me my lord” the pain
The confidence and little smile he has when he says “yes.” Is so sweet. And the line where he says “my love for Amy is different. I think we would have killed each other.” Is his acceptance of reality - their relationship would’ve crashed and burned.
Amy calling My Lord to Laurie is just to cute, she actually love have her soulmate and she isn't scare of show that! 🌻
His face when he says "my lord" is interesting 😏
He looks like he’s into it.
@@fantasyfiction101 right
lol caught that
at first i was upset because jo and teddy didn't end up together, bun now i understand why teddy did what he did. Jo wasn't really in love with him, she felt guilty and missed her best friend. teddy knows that and i think he is a lot happier with amy because they both feel an equal amount of love for each other.
Only jo can call him teddy
@IAMBRI permission? Permission for what? He's her property or something?
@tomi boi Amy has loved Laurie since she was a girl. Jo doesn’t own Laurie just because he wanted to be with Jo before.
Amy and Laurie is a better love story then him and Jo
Finally, Someone who looked deeper in their story! I don't really understand people who always say that Amy and Laurie's love story is boring and dull. Like, their story is far more interesting than Laurie and Jo. Friedrich and Jo's story is also far more interesting than Jo and Laurie.
Sloppy seconds if I’ve ever seen it. Imagine marrying the girl who you’re madly in love with’s sister. Fucking freak.
I think someday there should be a movie that is mostly the adult Amy and Laurie story based on the book. As much of an improvement the adult Amy is in the latest adaptation it still doesn't tell the whole story and only looks at her difficult moments with Laurie. I would love to see more of Amy's and Laurie's growing relationship after Amy's earlier lectures. There was the party that Laurie escorts Amy to that first hints of their growing attraction to each other. There was the stretch of time where Laurie tried to compose music to get over his feelings for Jo and begins to discover Amy's influence on him. During their separate travels Amy and Laurie would write letters to each other on all kinds of topics, and it helped them realize how much they had come to care for each other. After the passing of Beth, Laurie returned to Amy to comfort her and by that time they knew that they loved each other. They would spend more travel time together before Laurie's rowboat proposal.
The book describes in more detail the mature young woman adult Amy had become and that she was no longer the selfish baby sister she once was. It would be nice to see a movie that explores more of that side of her.
Not really, I mean amy and laurie belong to each other more but lets be honest here theyre so boring and bland.
@@annevanity3922 this was so funny to me lol
Jo wanted to be loved rater than really loved Laurie. The way Laurie smiles saying ''yes'' was so adorable , when Jo asked him ''Are you in love?"
We know Laurie and Amy really love each other.
Mutual love.....
They seem so awkward now. And did anyone hear Laurie say "yes but I liked that"? About Amy bothering him with her preening? 1:24 I can't hear it properly but that's what it sounds like
Sounds like "yes, put it like that" to me? Which to me sounds like he is quietly defending Amy
@@ellebean759 he actually said “but i liked that”
I heard “I liked that” too @Diana Gonzalez , and I think it’s cuter because it shows that he truly loves Amy for who she really is. And he is still defending Amy from Jo. While Jo doesn’t take her sister seriously, Laurie sees her as her own person who is endearing to him. I agree with you on the end, he seemed jealous of Jo’s ability to love someone. But I think it’s just his own words becoming true, because he told Jo that she would find and love someone completely. And if that was true, then what Jo said in that conversation is also true. They wouldn’t have worked together, like he says here. It’s him finally coming completely to terms with it and in the end he is completely happy with Amy, more so than he could have been with Jo
@@ellebean759 In a later chapter in the book Amy and Laurie are setting up their new home. Laurie assures Amy that he would be happy to see Jo and the professor get married. Amy is privately satisfied with Laurie's response as she was perhaps a little worried that he might be possessive about Jo. I think in the movie when Bhaer first visits Jo Laurie is now more the concerned brother watching over his sister. In the book there would be more visits by Bhaer to see Jo, which would give Laurie a chance to get to know him better and be convinced that he is a good fit for her.
He actually does, he says it and I think his love is very sweet, they look great together.😘
Honestly it felt like although Jo loves Laurie she’s not in love with him, and it’s like she is only choosing to marry him out of convenience because she feels like she isn’t going to make it as a writer and knows that in that society a woman needs a husband to survive 🤷♀️
I feel like he got a thrill from hurting her a little like this.
You might be right, cuz I remember him being worked up when Friedrich arrives at their home. He probably still feels something for her
@Jocelyn Anne he was just being protective because he still cares about her but not necessarily in love
@@Amy-nv5ry I agree. They are brother and sister now so they will still care for each other in that way.
Gotta say, I greatly disliked that one thing about the movie. In the book they really wanted the other one to be happy! There was no melodrama, only heart-to-heart talk. After he got married to Amy, he called Jo his sister and it was made believable that he was over her. And Jo might have changed her mind about the importance of being loved therefore regretted turning him down hastily, like in the movie, but she was always sure SHE didn’t love him in that way. In addition she was relieved he and Amy got married and very relieved he was over her, so that they could be friends again, not at all surprised about the engagement, she even hoped for it. She mentioned it once way before it happened. And her mother shared her oppinion in all of these matters.
@@leftphalange1606 I believe the book and the movie have their flaws. In the book, Amy and Laurie’s relationship seem unnatural, and although Laurie seems to feel something for Amy, right before he proposes to her he sends a letter to Jo, asking if she is sure about turning him down. Amy and Laurie’s courtship is much more developed in this version. She loves him since the start, and they have scenes together before Paris, which makes it more believable. Even if Jo doesn't feel anything romantic towards Laurie, it’s only natural that she is sad about losing the childish bond she had with him, since now he’s a married man. I really think the movie lifted the quality of the story and made its characters more human.
His smile was so cute when he said he loved Amy! 😊💕
I am sorry but after the whole film I am watching this again on April 2021 and I have cried , I am sorry couldn't help it
why am i laughing:')i reminded with laurie's "i love you eversince i have known you jo and i couldnt help it" when he confessed his feelings to jo
You can see it in his eyes and facial expression that he was meant to be with Amy and he truly lives her when jo asked if they were in love and he said yes
Jo didn't love him as a man, she even said it "I can't say yes truly, so I won't say it at all". Years later, she write that letter just because she realized she would be lonely for ever. That's the true.
This part broke my freaking heart into pieces and made me cry over and over again 😭😭
this scene strikes me so hard. though it differs from the book, and despite all the different view points on their relationship…i can truly say that either way, in the manner that this particular scene is carried out, it represents losing the idea of someone forever. losing the safety net of a person you’ve always loved, whether “in love” or not. it represents the end of an era. it represents the painstaking goodbye of what could’ve been. and that is a hard reality we all must face someday.
That is the sad reality of life.We have to put behind everything platonic to move forward.
This is the only comment that resonates with me, tbh.
I love Laurie and Amy together, I think they could be or are happy together more than jo and Laurie could be
I honestly loved Jo's character. She was independent, cared for her family deeply, always chased her dreams and overall a really strong character. Jo was childish sometimes but never did anything to hurt her family, really strong willed. She even sold her hair for her mother's trip. In the end Laurie seemed a little jealous by asking about Friedrich and it is obvious he has a soft spot for her.
I have never read the book so the following opinion is based solely off of this movie.
I truly think that Amy and Laurie were meant to be together. As said in the film Laurie loved Jo however he loved the idea of her that he had created in his head not the true her. He even said that he changed himself in order for him to like him more which is not necessary a good thing in a marriage. Plus when talking to Marmee Jo never actually says she’s in love with Laurie, just that she wants to be loved. Meaning she liked the security that she would have with Laurie, not necessarily him. However, Amy on the other hand loved him for him. Of course she idolized him when she was young but as they got older she saw his faults and still loved him. And I truly think that Laurie realized this and began to fall for her because she accepted him (among other reasons). I think like they’ve both said, had Laurie and Jo ended up together it would’ve ended badly. I think that Laurie and Jo were soulmates, but platonic ones. I think that Laurie and Amy are each other’s true loves for they see the others faults and still loves them. Plus if you watch scenes where Laurie is with Amy or talks about her, it is clear that he’s got it bad for her. Also I fully believe that Jo is a lesbian so they wouldn’t have worked out lol
Finally an explanation that was soothing .. other than the last line off coz book says otherwise 🥺
Why do you believe Jo is a lesbian…?
Yeah, I think you REALLY need to do some research and read the book.
Yeah, Jo ends up with Mr. Bhear and happy, with a house full of children. Just because she didn't want to get married right away and she didn't like her expected role as woman, doesn't make her a lesbian.
While I understand that Jo did not feel romantically towards Laurie, one thing I have always loved is how she and only she always calls him Teddy. It breaks my heart though, because in the books, there is actually a moment when Amy calls him Teddy while lecturing him and Laurie (in heartbreak) gets upsets and tell her not to because that's Jo's name for him. Of course, this is not an attack on his relationship with Amy, just that paired with this scene where he smiles at Jo and says only she ever calls him Teddy, it really shows the tender place in his heart for Jo, no matter what their relationship
I understand Amy and Teddy are romantic soulmates and Jo and Teddy are platonic soulmates, but the chemistry Jo and Teddy had was just extraordinary. I cant help but love and adore them and wished they had gotten together.
Same
I can’t believe how much they changed this beloved book, which was perfect as it is. This NEVER happened in the book! Read it! Jo never regretted not marrying Teddy. She was madly in love with Professor Baer! Why did they feel the need to change the plot of the movie?
Probably to stir up more drama about who should’ve ended up together. 🤷🏾♀️ they should’ve kept it like the book though
finally in the comments i saw this... the book is a classic... i hate it when they change the details... that too so drastically... the story ❤️
Thanks for letting us know, it doesn't show here that she's madly in love with the professor. It made it look like the story was developed more on Laurie and Jo
i will surely read the book. but the feeling of regret at the last part of the movie is heartbreaking. hence, also unforgettable.
I didn’t see this as her regretting not being with Teddy, but seeing his contentment and happiness with Amy just making her feel wistful and generally lonely, which is how it’s described in the book.
*Well, you look deserving of it.* 2:44 the way she says this hurts, but she knows Amy is a better match for him. I'm so glad they still continue to be friends, regardless of everything.
It's hard for a lot of people to understand platonic soulmates especially between a guy and a girl. However, I have one so it makes perfect sense to me how Laurie ends up falling in love with Amy and marrying her. However, until this movie, no director or actors had portrayed that platonic love, maturing of Amy and Laurie, or how adult feelings for someone are much different than childhood ones. It's why the term "puppy love," was invented. Also, I feel like Timothee Chalamet portrayed Laurie in this scene as someone who has finally learned the difference between loving someone and being in love with them which as is said here, he never loved Jo like he loves Amy meaning Laurie realizes he was never in love with Jo after falling in love with Amy.
To me I think Jo was that epic first love when you feel the whirlwind of emotions and you are absolutely crazy over them. Amy was his true love, the one he was meant to be with and mature with. True love is just as powerful as First love but it’s a different feeling. It’s less chaotic and more calming. You feel at peace with them. They feel like home. And it’s who you truly belong with.
Aww I never notice the "My lord" scene, that's cute that Amy calls him that 😂😂
This scene made me cry but I know that Laurie and Amy are meant for each other!!
i know many disagree but i am so glad they didn’t end up together. she couldn’t love him, although she convinced herself she did, she didn’t see him like that. having them end up together would have erased so much about her character
Jo didn't deserve Laurie because she didn't want him to confess to her again bc she was in love with him, but rather because she just felt lonely. I'm glad they didn't end up together
I love how he was like can we still be friends. It'd like yeah they are adults but they haven't lost that childlike essence that makes then such good characters.
These two actors...wow! Throughout the film and in this scene especially, they express so much through their eyes, facial expressions and movements - all done with such subtlety and naturalism - both of them are incredibly masterful performers that really "live" their characters. This film was a complete joy to watch two young actors with such depth of talent and skill.
Beautiful scene. Bitter sweet, but true to their relationship
not really
If a girl nicknamed you "Teddy", you know she ain't into you bro
I’ve never called him teddy ever, it’s so weirs
Honestly this was the most heartbreaking and Honestly wholesomely adult way of breaking someone's heart.
I wish people could behave like this more often nowadays
Instead all of opinions in comments I never can realise what I think about Jo and Laurie. Sometimes I think they perfect for each other, sometimes I realized they are more friends than lovers. One thing is truly about them is that they are meant a lot for each other
"She tears through the woods and finally stands by the river, breathing heavily. For one moment, we believe that she might end her suffering in the most tragic way - she leans towards the river...
...and throws the letter into it, letting it drift away, along with her childhood love. It is over." This was an excerpt from the script.
Idc what anyone says, Jo loved Laurie. It was too late. Too late. 😔
Lol read the book.Jo never wrote that letter or felt this way for Laurie.
Louise May Alcott regretted letting the editors insist Jo marry in the end. She herself was a spinster and likely gay (look it up, she straight up said “I’ve fallen for so many pretty girls and nary one man”) and originally Jo was meant to be an independent writer, reflecting her own life.
So I just pretend that’s what happened.
i mean what's cool about the ending is how implicative it is. they tied the scene with jo marrying off her protagonist so that her book would be sold with jo meeting the professor under the umbrella. i think they even gave it the same name, "the scene under the umbrella". so you don't even have to pretend!! it's a cool meta moment where the filmmakers played homage to the original book ending while acknowledging that the author (and jo) would have preferred to have left her unmarried, and her getting married was (and still is) about satisfying gender expectations.
i just really love this film, haha.
Do you have a source for that quote? I've been looking for it all over the internet and can't find it anywhere.
She wasn’t gay (gay=men loving men. I think you’re talking about being a *lesbian* or *bisexual* don’t be afraid to use these words
This scene is such a favorite of mine. The acting is so flawless. Both of their reactions and expressions are so real.
I don't care what anyone says. Is so weird he ended up with her sister. From all the people, he married her sister. I don't like it one bit. If that happened to me, a guy who swore he loves me, it would feel like he never really did.
Notice in her dream she's walking up the stairs to the school, as Laurie's voice interrupts, waking her up. She's remembering what it was like to walk up those steps snd lay her eyes on Frederich, her love interest. She doesnt know it yet that its him
That line about Amy calling "my lord" is fucking incredible. Bro's a stud.
Whoever is saying the smile he had when he said says that "He never actually loved Jo just the idea of being loved and his true love was actually Amy" you're bullshitting yourself. He did infact love Jo like crazy. She was the one who taught him to love someone, his first love. Yes when he got rejected, it took him years but he simply got over that love and fell for Amy. Simple. It doesn't have to mean that he never loved Jo
I was in a relationship where I'm really in love with that person. It's a long relationship and it did not end well. After 5yrs I've met someone who really loved me and I loved him back, I felt secured and didn't need him to assure me of his love and I thought that this is how love should be.
When he said "I like that" about her preening
When he said "my wife" and "we are man and wife" -- you can see in his facial expression that he was proud to say that.
When he said "Yes" when asked if they were in love...
When he said that Amy calls him "my lord," he looked so giddy.
He's really wipped for his wife!!
This scene just gives me all the butterflies.
insane cope😭😭 dude just settled for his backup option bcos he thought the women he truly loved rejected him. why is everyone tryna convince themselves that lauri preferred amy when the entire movie shows & tells us the complete opposite
He loved Jo, she said no because she is afraid of something, he still loves her. ‘Can we please be friends PLEASE!’ This story didn’t have a good ending. Their two families tore them apart. You don’t beg to be friends w your ex after ur married
How he wakes her up🥺❤😫
I wanted Laurie and jo to end up together. 😭 It's sad Jo realised her love for Laurie too late. I wish Laurie waited for jo for some more time. All jo wanted was to support her family and chase her dreams. She was free spirited. Sigh!
Amy really was the golden child of the family! She grew up annoying her sisters, went to Europe with her aunt, did what she wanted and finally married her love who was wealthy.😭 I want to give jo a tight hug!! ❤️
I'm with you. No matter what version in film or the actual book itself I will never warn up to the idea of Laurie and Amy.
But Jo didn't love him the way Amy loved him. Jo loved him like a brother. Not as a husband. Jo only considered marrying Laurie because she was lonely, and not because she was in love with him. She has romantic feelings for Friedrich. Louisa May Alcott never wanted Jo to be married in the end. She wanted Jo to remain a spinster.
laurie waited for jo FOR SO FUCKING LONG. jo never loved laurie and could never love him the way he used to love her bc she only saw him as a friend. they only reason she wanted him was because she was lonely and she admitted she was lonely. laurie said his love for amy is different meaning it’s real, he looks so relaxed w amy.
Sometimes our great love and our soulmate are not the same person. One will teach us how to love, and the other one will show us how to be loved..
"surprise I'm your brother-in-law now"😊
“ my lord” LMAOO
It might just be because I love Timothee and siaorse’s performance in all they films they have together but I really was heartbroken when jo said no when he proposed😭
He really stood up to tell her he got married then sat down
amy calling him “my lord” damn she’s down bad for him
He loves Jo and he will always love her deep inside ...their love was authentic you can tell by the way he looks at her he admires her it's not the same with Amy and it will never be..
it will never be the same because he loves amy *romantically*, whereas his love for jo is more platonic, and brotherly. he believed he loved her in youth, but he didnt really understand what true romantic love was, until having spent time with amy in france.
@@julesberry1252In the book I believe so but in the movie I don't agree..If you notice the little details the way he looks at her the sparkle in his eyes ,his admiration when she is passionate about something,the way he reacts whenever she is close to him,he was feeling like a little kid full of joy and life with her..His love for her was pure and clear ...I agree he loves Amy but I think with Jo was something deeper a soul connection that made him want to be a better version of himself .. It's different to be called by your wife my "Lord" and Teddy ..
@@marilou646 he said the love he has for amy is a different type of love meaning he never loved jo the way he loves amy. jo brought out the child in him, the playfulness in him but amy brings out the man and matureness in him. he’s in love love with amy. he even agrees that him and jo would’ve never worked out. so i think he does love amy more than jo.
@@hayhayya13 if what you told was accurate then he loved them both because you said he has a different type of love for Amy and that doesn't make him love her more .. I respect your opinion but I think true love brings out the child within us not the immatur and irresponsible one but the one that wants to dream to love without being afraid of getting hurt to live every moment in its fullest!!
@@marilou646 he said “listen i loved u jo but the love i have for amy is different.” meaning the love he has for her is stronger and means more to him. the love he had for jo was more like brotherly love if that makes sense. i respect ur opinion too. but laurie really needed amy with him. he loves her for her and she loves him for him even with their faults. but the love he had for jo was just the way he fantasized her to be. and he realized that after he fell in love with amy when he said “now i agree with you that we would have probably killed eachother” if they got married.
Jo didn’t love him like he loved her, she was just afraid to be lonely. And Laurie didn’t love Amy the way Amy loved him, but loved her in a more mature way than he did Jo. And I will die with this opinion.
Amy is definitely calling Laurie ‘my lord’ in bed you can’t change my mind.
i cried so much cause i felt how heartbroken she was but i’m glad she got her happy ending in the book☹️
This part of the movie was so painful to watch. My heart ached for Jo
I will make my own ending to this story where Jo and Laurie are together forever, when I watched this version I could not sleep thinking they did not end up together 😅 so I will make my own version of it in my head 😂
Same. He didn't go back with Amy and when he got home after he read the letter that Jo wrote.
I'm loving this I'm absolutely love and miss she going to sit up there and tell him how everything is wrong with her and everything is wrong with him and how they can't be together but the look on her face when he told her that he got married you could tell that she instantly regretted her decision but now there's nothing she can do to make that backup that's raw as heck
I have loved Amy and Laurie together since I was a child and this has never changed. They truly are made for one other
"my Lord" 😏😏
Basically the older version of “daddy”😂
This is what it means to move on and to accept that some things are not meant to be. His idealization of love when he was younger compared to what love really is, admirable. And on top of that, how he says his love for Amy and how he tells her that they would've killed each other.
Very unpopular option but I still think teddy and jo should have been together. Maybe it’s just because their relationship reminds me a lot of Anne and Gilbert’s from Anne of Green Gables
Yeah, same. They had great chemistry and honestly, it's so heartbreaking to see it disappear just like that
Same
Same
The way he blushes when he said she called him “My Lord” it’s that times version of “Daddy” I guess 😂😅
hahaha in the books he also calls amy "my lady". its a running joke they have. but i agree that timmy's performance here absolutely makes it seem that way. the little smirk is too telling.
I really cried for this but I really see them as bestfriends onlyy, I love amy and lauriee, and I love jo too
From this version, I find it hard to believe amy would call him my lord
I feel like she does it sarcastically
God how I wish he'd have read that letter.
@Braxtyn Harper yessss😭😭❤️❤️
Even if he'd have read her letter, it will never be the same just like before. He already said that his love for Amy is different. It's pure.
@@edrielleroque3715 yes. That's so true.
i would have liked to see his reaction
@@AnaGuerra03 me too
Jo started bitching about Amy just like always,but was in for a nice surprise.
How nobody knew she was gay is beyond me. It's so incredibly clear. Jo March is a personal hero of mine ❤️
This is not the only time Timothee Chalamet movie-married Florence Pugh. They also married in Dune (as Paul Atreides and Irulan Corrino).
actors act in more than one thing??????😱
If I had a nickel...
I still believe Jo didn't marry at all, the ending where she was married are just part of the book she published-- just as what the publisher liked, a happily ever after ending.
It feels like she was ready to settle for him, rather than actually loving and wanting to marry him. So I’m very happy him and Amy ended up together. Cause jo would not have enjoyed being married just for the sake of being married
I cried this scene so much
I got confused when he announced that he and amy were married, because it was so quick. Somebody explain their love story for me, i just finished the movie
When you get a chance you should read the book for a more detailed look of how Amy and Laurie fall in love as young adults. It all happens overseas while they are both separately traveling Europe. They would spend some time together in France where they begin to notice each other and where Amy scolds Laurie on his laziness and lack of goals. They would continue to travel separately and send letters to each other as Laurie gradually realizes he has to move on from Jo after he writes Jo one last time (and she says no in her letter back to him). They would reunite after Beth's passing and spend additional time together before Laurie proposes. They wrote of their engagement to the family, so everyone knew and that was not a surprise. Their arrival home as married, however, was.
But does teddy really love Amy? Or did he just marry her because he knew he couldn't have jo
Yes, he fell in love with amy.
Of course he truly love Amy. He will not settle with Amy if he doesn't love her. Amy made Laurie realized right things tho. She made him mature.
Amy is perfect for Lauri..... And he also realized real love for amy.. Than jo..... For him jo was just a frndship love not more
I fully refuse to watch the film and read the second book cos it breaks my heart that he wouldn't wait for Jo to get on the same page and for her to realise they can have their own dynamic and it doesn't have to look like Meg's relationship, so I'm with you 😘
@@annabellex3559 that was never going to happen in the book, her feelings would’ve never truly changed. She would’ve just gave in as she said in all the adaptations they would’ve never been actually happy as man and wife
I think that Amy was a better fit for Laurie but I balled my eyes out so hard when particularly in this version I found out Laurie wasn't going to marry Jo but Amy
i was crying at this scene.. i was like.. why must you married amy, Laurie.. and then i just realized the truth about their love story... poor me •-•
I love whatching old movies
girl it came out barely two years ago lmao
This is embarrassing
I feel like Laurie was jo’s safety option. She thought he’d always be available to her No matter what. But in this scene, really hurts not only, he didn’t wait for her, he married her sister.. bitter sweet but you can tell Amy and Laurie have true love.. just awkward he loves/loved joe too.
Rewatched this movie tonight and i think its my favourite movie
I think it was the best for them not to end up together but I still cant get over it
Jo never regretted turning Laurie down. This scene is awful, it makes her look desperate. In the book, she was very happy to see him and to learn of his marriage. I hate when people mess with the classics.
