I think it's a good touch that she's only screaming for Jo when she falls, not Laurie. Even when Jo's furious at her, Amy trusts Jo to save her the most.
I get what you're saying..adds to the forgiveness bit...but Laurie would save her too and Amy trusts Laurie too. Laurie proved over and over that he could be trusted. Technically it was Laurie that saved Amy.
@@hannahvahala5078no they're just saying that family is the first you call for when you're in danger and she as much as she was jealous of her sister trusted her completely to save her
Jo also regretted the horrible thought that came into her head when Laurie said "it's not safe in the middle." She acted like she didn't care whether Amy heard or not.
Laurie really saved Amy here. Can we just acknowledge his brains here ?? Laurie is actually really smart. Level headness?? He knew that if he panicked then Jo would panic and Amy would more than she already was. If Amy did, she would most likely drown. Laurie really saved Amy.
Yes, and that at a time where she was 13 and almost a young woman by that time's standards - it was not uncommon for women to marry as early as 16 or 17 at that time, sometimes younger. (In Gone With the Wind, which is set round the same time, Scarlett O'Hara marries at 16 and her mother even married younger, at 15!). Playing with dolls was seen as a preparation for what was then defined as woman's proper role - motherhood. Yet Beth identifies with the ideal of domesticity so much that she does not even have the ambition to leave her family of origin (which on the level of the book foreshadows that she will not live past sixteen, but of course she cannot know this in advance at this scene, where she has not yet had the scarlet fever that weakens her heart). Her character exemplifies how the ideal of domesticity actually stunts and infantilizes women. their development and talents going nowhere. Beth is an accomplished pianist, but her talent does not go with any ambition that way it does with Amy (painting) and Jo (writing). Women at the time were to have "accomplishments" such as painting and music to make them eligible as wives, but even in this sense Beth's talent is taking her nowhere.
It's interesting when you realize Amy is supposed to be 12-13 years old when this happens, which surprised me cuz Florence Pugh obviously doesn't look 12 🤣
@@aaronabraham7196 I agree!! I didn't know what age any of these women were meant to be but I knew the first time seeing this that Amy was the youngest. She played the character so well
@@VuMinhThuFPLHNI think if you can avoid hiring children, then that is the better decision. Hollywood isn't a safe environment for child actors. We shouldn't be normalizing them the way we do now.
In the book the scene is bit different, both the old and knew movies failed to convey the the dread and helplessness Jo felt when she heard Amy scream, and It was Lauri who acted quickly while Jo was paralyzed by horror
0:21 Hmph. I'm going to eat at the other end of the table, away from her. (Jo is obviously still very mad about Amy burning all of her hard work). At one point on The Big Bang Theory, Raj distanced himself from Howard because his constant teasing was hurting his confidence.
My grandma saw this version in theaters when it came out, and she told me that the crowd in the theater was laughing when amy fell through the ice, don't worry she didn't laugh though.
@@julietruong6525this scene isn’t funny, but I don’t think this adaptation makes young Amy easy to like. Unlike 1990s version where she helps Jo rewrite the book or 2019 tv series where she gives a real apology after her fake one, Amy never really shows proper remorse for burning Jo’s book.
@@louisefarrar6037 I didn't say it was funny. Still, they were both children. None of them should have done what they did. Amy shouldn't have burned Jo’s book. And Jo shouldn't have tried to shut out Amy like that. At the end of the day, people still choose to hate on Amy, mostly based on one incident. No ones perfect.
Now we know why this scene looks so funny. They weren't on real ice, they were just walking funny with sneakers on a platform when it was filmed lol. CGI is a bitch
They used 30 year old women ( the one playing Amy sounds like a man for crying out loud) to play little girls. I absolutely loathe this version, they didn’t make me love any of the characters. The one with Susan Sarandon absolutely nails the flavour of the books. It’s like a beautiful melody. This one is grossly discordant
@@ravensthatflywiththenightm7319 She looks and sounds old. The only reason they used her and Chalomet is because they’re the hot ticket item right now. Neither one suited for these roles. Chalomet has dead eyes and Laurie was full of life and highjinx. If you read the books you’d know this version is horrible. It’s literally modern day ppl wearing costumes of a bygone era and reciting lines .. it captures nothing of the morays, ethics, social/economic dynamics and strictures placed on women of that time.
@@LisaG442 Were Chalamet and Pugh popular back then? Because while I've seen a lot of Pugh films [mostly rather accidentally - I wasn't expecting to see her in The Commuter or Lady Macbeth], she didn't really catch a break [and she's said this in interviews] until I think Midsommar, which was released the exact same year as Little Women. As for Chalamet I only really knew him from The King until he was cast in Dune. Other than that OK I see your point.

Of course, Jo was her sister. And Laurie was just a friend back then.

The way she kissed her and said oh my sister 😢
She was extremely frustrated with her for burning her book, but she still loved her

I will never get over Beth play feeding her doll lmao.

Yeah, I don't know why they can't hire young actress
but her performance is perfect, I mean she played a child and an adult and she got nominated for this role

Florence's whimpers after she is saved... This scene always has me in tears.

Florence is the most likeable version of Amy
I like her but I think the best version is Samantha Mathis

Some people hate on Amy too easily it hurts

I would have laugh I hated her the whole movie lol
I learned to loathe Amy. She whined so much about 'How DARE Jo be mad at me for destroying YEARS of work!" I could never stand her after that chapter.
What are you talking about Amy tried to make things right by helping her sister with her book
@@radioactivegum2298 She's not sorry for what she did, she's sorry she has to pay for it.
@@happybkwrm in the book she actually tries to do the right thing because she feels sorry
I always cry in this scene lol
Same! Maybe it’s because I’m the little sister in my family, so it’s relatable 🫠
@@julietruong6525 I was still angry at Amy for burning the book at this point, so I was just thinking, "Let her tread water for a second longer..."
Hes a hero and for calling for help amy saved herself too
Love this movie
Love from Argentine all bro replay 😀😀
Love this so much ❤
Hes a hero
Lauries a hero
Is this the raw scene? It's so strangely edited. Pacing is weird.
They were good sisters just like me and my brother did
Me and my younger brother Gregory
We were not so different people
Now we know why this scene looks so funny. They weren't on real ice, they were just walking funny with sneakers on a platform when it was filmed lol. CGI is a bitch
Jo should have walked away, Amy was the worst
She shouldn't have forgiven her.
