In the books Jo never loved Laurie. And the moment he told her he had married Amy, Jo was so happy for them. Even when she felt lonely she never wished for Laurie
I don't think she loves him in that way in this version either. I think she's just scared shitless and lonely and she reached to familiar. But don't really think it would've worked ever.
Amy truly loved Laurie for who he was. She saw his potential and encouraged him to grow up. She supported, understood and valued him. For him to be successful, Laurie needed a strong willed woman like Amy to motivate and inspire him. He found a true partner who wanted and loved the same things he wanted for his future.
I feel like women, in general, are the best at and are at their best when they support, help, motivate, encourage, inspire, and strengthen others. It's like they're the ultimate and invaluable 'support class.'
@Minnie With all due respect, I do not see that in modern women nowadays. Maybe if it was 30 years ago, I would agree with you. All I see nowadays is women wanting to know what the men can do for them It’s nice to believe, don’t get me wrong, but being realistic here that’s not most women anymore.
@@mar_bl2158 None of my friends or people I know expect men do things for them. Of course they want partner in life, but they don't expect men give them everything. They are independent women.
My second favorite scene in the movie was Laurie kissing Amy. My favorite was Amy declaring that she had loved Laurie all her life. The two are the most authentic couple in the story. Well, there's Meg and the teacher too, but I loved the proud femininity and honesty of Amy.

Jo wouldn’t be put into the opera at any price, and he had to give her up with a “Bless that girl, what a torment she is!” and a clutch at his hair, as became a distracted composer. When he looked about him for another and a less intractable damsel to immortalize in melody, memory produced one with the most obliging readiness.

everyone keeps saying that amy betrayed jo by getting married to laurie. although, jo turned him down, but as soon as laurie got over her she realized she messed up, and wanted him back. and the worst part is; she wanted him back not because she loved him, but because she felt lonely after realizing all of her sisters have a future and are loved by someone, while she’s all alone.
@@anaisabelribeiro2721 i've seen many people say that they would never forgive their sister like jo forgave amy, and comments like "personally I wouldn't let that slide" etc. so yes, a lot of people do say that and blame amy for "betraying" jo.
Seriously know one says this enough. People just love to hate on amy simply because she did whatever jo couldn’t do like convincing her aunt to take her to europe. Meanwhile amy was highly adaptive and flexible when achieving her goals
Nobody says that and no-one who really read the novel or watched this movie thinks Jo realised she messed up and wanted him back. It was only in a moment of lonely weakness she wanted to ask for Laurie back but it was a mistake and she knew it.
In the books, Joe is so happy for Laurie and Amy. She is mature enough to realize that the love she has for Laurie has always been fraternal, not romantic.
Which is why I prefer the 1994 version of the movie. Amy asks Jo to tell her the truth, since sisters are a stronger relation than marriage, if she minds that she and Laurie are married, and Jo tells her that she does not mind, that she was surprised at first, and that they were now family as they should have always been. This version, with this scene, just doesn't feel right to me.
I'm so glad the reason Amy broke up with her fiancé is because she didn't have enough or the right feelings for him, and not because she had other options
@@coquette7794. There was nothing wrong back then, or now, wanting to marry a rich/wealthy man, and have children, and take care of the children, the husband and the home. Motives can still be wrong when a woman marries a poor man.
@@aliali-ce3yf. Maybe no one should date and get to know each other, and get engaged only to realize that they aren’t right for each other. It’s called love. Sometimes we get it right and sometimes we don’t. Better Amy broke off the engagement once she understood she didn’t love him as she should rather than go ahead and marry him only to divorce him.
While I feel terrible for Jo, I prefer her and Laurie as platonic pals. He's better suited to Amy, and they seem to be in their element when she's bossing him about later on, with him not minding one bit!
She didn't take anything for granted, she simply didn't love him . romantically, nor did she want the brutal confinement that being a wife meant in that day and age. Ppl still struggle with Alcotts feminism, the idea that most ppl want marriage & thats great, but some women don't, especially when marriage means fewer freedoms, which at the time it absolutely did
I just hate hate hate how they tried to make Jo more in love with Laurie than she was. With Bhaer she found an intellectual equal who challenged her to be her best and actually improved her writing with the knowledge from his own experience. He brought a peace and tranquillity to her fiery and restless spirit, without destroying her tenacity. I don’t believe she ever saw Laurie as someone she could marry, even when she was consumed with loneliness. I hate that they treated the happy ending she found with Bhaer as a tired trope that was put in for the sake of selling her book.
so i always thought bhaer was just "imaginary" as some kind of 4th wall breaking since the publisher wants the woman either dead or married, and he also really didnt get a story apart from 15 mins? i thought it fitted, i dont think jo needs a husband
@@FloThePro1231 The Book did an incredible job of describing their relationship development. Definitely would recommend reading! The movie opened it up differently, but is still a great one!
@@elinaoberemok1732 i am reading the book and i hoped that i would be reassured thinking bhaer wasnt real but i guess he is real, just thought it would have been nicer if the story ends with jo not having to have a man in order to be happy and it would have been funny if bhaer was just "written in there" so the story ends with a married woman because thats what the publisher wants
@@FloThePro1231 99% of people need love and family to be happy and for that you need a partner with whom you can start your own family. believe me you don't want to live alone in old age or look for help from strangers but from family. I personally need a man to have a happy life and family.
I do sort of like that they did it this way because it feels like the director paying homage to the author. When she wrote the book she didn’t want Jo to end up with anyone because she had modeled the character largely after herself, but her publisher pushed her to marry Jo off in the second book-ie. Bhaer.
I will always appreciate Greta Gerwig and Florence Pugh for doing what I thought was impossible: making me root for Laurie+Amy and making Amy likeable. Lol
@@toninatoli Her role in Oppenheimer was so poorly written though, like you should go look up the actual biography of Jean Tatlock, they did her dirty. And likewise they could've given Flo a much meatier role with less er... I'm a seductive communist vibes. She would've killed it. Many men high up in hollywood aren't interested in giving women meaty roles unfortunately.
It seems like Laurie never actually loved Jo romantically, it's admiration or if love it's friendship type kind of love or sibling-like, it's platonic and he just confuses it for romantic, when talking about amy his eyes is that of someone who's really in love, he's content and he's matured.. i'd love to see a spinoff movie about just amy and laurie's story, i love them both together
Never could stand Jo, she just assumed that Laurie would always be there and in love with her…she was always selfish and toyed with Laurie’s feelings. I’m glad he moved on and found true love.
Bro she rejected him once. She was under no obligation to love him. I think the book made her want him in the end despite desiring to be single and then marrying the critic guy because back then ALL books had to end with the women married off. So just imagine her not writing that letter, and not marrying that man. She never toyed with Laurie. Even if you look at it this way, she was afraid of being alone. It doesn’t matter though. She found love and so did he.
@@saitamatrash2527 Same as Laurue.He is also under no obligation to love Jo forever and come running whenever she wants her back.She had her chance and she let it go.Amy and Laurie found each other.They don't owe Jo anything.
If you really think about it Amy is the one that deserves Laurie. She always loved him in a way that Jo didn’t. Jo always looked at him as a brother/friend. When she ended up regretting turning him down it was for shallow and selfish reasons.
Where in the book does Jo write a letter to Laurie saying she was wrong for turning him down??? She never went back on her word and always loved him as a friend. She even was happy that he married Amy.
I felt like her letter was in the heat of the moment. She was saddened by Beth’s death and she realized she was truly lonely since all her sisters were off in their own paths. So hearing Laurie, someone she adored in the past coming back, made her think she loved him but all she craved was the familiar nostalgic feeling. Even though it wasn’t in the book, it sort of makes sense
Something I really appreciate but it honestly just the bare minimum and we need to see more of it, is that Lauri waits until Amy brings up her broken engagement to talk about it. He knows she’s grieving, he’s there to support her in her grief while she travels, and even though he outright says he heard about the broken engagement, he doesn’t bring it up first. He’s not there to serve his own interests. He’s there because he loves Amy, and loves the March family, and he’s there to support them.
I don’t get it how some people still say joe loved him more than a friend cause she never did.. it’s so evident that the only reason she is wanting him back cause she hates being alone and wants comfort in a friend.. I mean how come they are hating on Amy for choosing Laurie .. are you kidding me .. where’s Laurie and amy meet in Europe and there’s amy was older and more mature and it’s so evident that the love Laurie felt for joe was more leaning towards friendship and the love he has for amy is the passionate and mature one .. I see Laurie and amy just fitting together perfectly man and love both the sisters💕
Florence Pugh is such a great actress. And she's still so young. She deserves accolades. I don't see any of the young actresses who can hold up a candle to her
This movie (the one they show the clip from, here), picked the perfect woman (actor) to portray Amy! This is how I envisioned the adult woman Amy, from the time I first read the book Little Women, when I was a little girl.
If I had a nickel for every time Timothee Chalamet ended up loving another girl and marrying Florence Pugh, I’d have 2 nickels, which isn’t a lot but weird that it happened twice, right?
So basically after the kiss they couldn't keep their hands off each other so they ended up married in the journey back home. That and Amy calling him her Lord and him liking it LOL...I love it.
Although I prefer the 2019 version, the 1994 one describe Amy and Laurie's relationship better. The 2019 film makes it feels like Laurie did not love Amy that much
Really? I haven’t seen the 1994 one, but I’ve always felt Laurie loved Amy very deeply in this 2019 version. I never got the impression he didn’t. Rather, he had come to realize it and then understand it. It feels like a mature and happy love, with passion too.
Really. If anything, the 2019 version is the one that gives the best description of Amy and Laurie. The 1994 version only barely glosses over the relationship between Laurie and Amy, especially when he says that he wants to be a part of the March family No matter what
I think it's the opposite. In the 1994 version, you get the impression that Laurie marries Amy mainly because he wants to be part of the March family. Whereas in this version, we really see the evolution of Laurie and Amy's relationship. She makes him better, she doesn't hesitate to set him straight demanding more of him. Whereas Jo was just accepting him as he was. They wouldn't have made each other happy. They were much better friends.
I think Amy and Laurie were meant for eachother. At the beginning I shipped Jo and Laurie but as you saw, Jo turned him down. Laurie had waited his entire life to be with her, he loved her truly but their relationship was just meant to be platonic in the end. Meanwhile on the other hand with Amy, she was always told to marry rich, I don't think that was truly what she wanted though. She had loved Laurie from the start but was a good sister, she saw how much Laurie cared about Jo and just backed off. She said it "I have been second to Jo my entire life" which was quite frankly true. In the end, where Jo sends the letter and talks to her mom about how she loves him and misses him, I think just a lot was going on in her life especially with Beth's pass. In all honesty I think she was just lonely and needed someone to rely on. She thought of Laurie since she knew he loved her before. She never loved him more than a platonic relationship, and was only in need of a distraction for a little while. The way Jo moved on so quickly is just showing that it was pure true love for Laurie. Like I said, she was just lonely without Beth, without Amy and Meg by her side, she grew sad and looked for Laurie. If you ship Jo and Laurie, you don't really understand the meaning of this movie at all.
Laurie: If I can't get her, I can get her sister. But obviously, Laurie is not that type of guy, he just move on and keep someone who will make him sane again.
I think those who have read books would never doubt laurie's love for amy...Amy's love for jo and jo's love for this young couple... And those who are fighting over this are just jeolous because the well behaved , sweet sister got the boy instead of the feminist heroine
In the books Amy is a main character who ended up being my favorite at the end, just like this movie. Jo always got the screen time but each character was a main focus in the book.
I dont really know abput the story in the book, but as much as I preferred this couple instead of Laurie and Jo, but isn't it kinda shady that Laurie was always attracted to Jo most of his life and then after being rejected suddenly jumped to Amy? I don't get the development of the character. It's kinda not fair for Amy when she literally attracted/ love him since the first time they met. Correct me if I'm wrong 🙂
I know it seems sudden, but in the book it's clear that a long time passes. Laurie first travels through Europe alone, then he meets Amy and hangs out with her all the time, they exchange letters when he goes away again and overall, Jo is just not suited to be a lady of high society while Amy already knows the drill. Amy and Laurie getting together seems like a natural conclusion to me.
Amy and Laurie had an age gap so naturally he's initially gonna be attracted to the sister closest to him in age and personality. but once Amy gets a bit older, they're at a similar enough place in life where he started to feel attracted to her.
If I had a nickel for every time Florence Pugh played Timothée Chalamet's rebound girl in a popular book-to-film adaptation where his original love interest is cool with it in the book but ticked off in the film, I'd have two nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
It's really sad for Jo but she realized too late that she could have a futur with laurie, was she desesperated due to beth death? But, you know men, when they find another good girl, they just go for it, doesn't mean they don't love their new love, but it is just easier for them. I am really happy for amy by the way, she has always loved him for who he was i guess and jo, maybe she was kind of selfish with laurie
So if someone falls in love with you, he's your property for the rest of your life even if you turn him down? I don't get it. Why should Amy be the least bit sorry for loving someone that Jo never wanted? I never got it why Amy felt sorry and apologised. Love is too huge a deal to be petty about.
Nothing would have happened cause Laurie had realized And admitted that he loved Amy way more than he had Ever loved Jo. Besides, Jo never loved him in a romantic way. She only wrote that letter because she was afraid of being alone so she was okay with being with someone she didnt love as long as she was loved back. BUT Laurie matured and understood his feelings, realizing he didnt love Jo in a correct way. It was a “no” from both of them aha
@@crackshipsarelife I didn't say this because I think it would have brought jo and Laurie would get together. As you said Jo ain't write this letter because she loved him. But to act like there wouldn't have been reactions from all parties is ridiculous. None of them would brush it off like it was nothing. And I just wanted to see that drama unfold because I like mess. They all got insecurities that the letter would kick over.
@@birdiewolf3497 But Like I’ve said they had all solved the problem Before that’s why there wouldn’t have been much of a fuss. Laurie had already explained to Jo his feelings & Jo had done that way Before to her mother and After that she had realized what Laurie meant. So if they had found the letter they would have had a smalltalk cause everything was already explained. Jo would have said the Same thing she had explained to her mother to reassure Laurie, whom would have smiled and said he cared about her like a sister. That’s it ahah Besides, The letter is a Movie Addition (in the Book there isn’t) to Make People undertand way more Jo’s platonic feelings for Laurie
@@crackshipsarelife I know the letter is a movie addition. Listen, there is a difference between moving because you never had a chance, and literally choosing someone else over another person. To say this wouldn't open up old wounds is a lie. He can say those things to Jo, because in his mind it was never going to happen. Jo told him as much. I mean what else was he supposed to say or do? "I no longer love you, but what I feel for your sister is less than what I felt for you, and you were wrong about us all those years ago? " To a woman who rejected him. Telling that to someone who is interested in you is a different thing. And yes I know jo only loves him platonically, and wrote that letter because she was lonely. But that part is irrelevant because the point is to retrigger old emotions, and have our characters actually comfront them head on.
@@birdiewolf3497 But What you are saying in Canon was already brought up and explained. Laurie told The Truth so what he had said to Jo was the whole truth. He didnt lie, if you think that than you didnt undertand the whole relationship. Again, They had already made things up so if the letter came out Laurie would have told Jo that he loves Amy more and in a mature way. Because this is the truth. And Jo would have explained him why she wrote that letter so she would have confirmed that she never loved him in that way. Laurie moved on from Jo forcefully in the Beginning, till he didnt Start to get Close to Amy. So he decided to move on. He picked a new chance over his childish and immature feelings for Jo. He understood his feelings. Whetever Jo/Laurie had never been together doesnt change anything becasue the two of them didnt love each other in a Right and healthy way. It was a Fake romantic Love, but Laurie was too immature & unexperience to understand that back then. Once he had another real emotions, he compared The two and understood☺️
I have the book and have read it numerous times, and nowhere in the book it says that she regreted turning him down. She never did and never wrote him a letter. I haven't seen this particular movie and I'm not going to after seeing this.
In the books Jo never loved Laurie. And the moment he told her he had married Amy, Jo was so happy for them. Even when she felt lonely she never wished for Laurie
Nope she was clearly upset n lonely that moment in the book. I agree she might not have loved Laurie. But yeah he was not gonna wait forever.
@@EloraSelah she had already met the German fellow Mr Bear
i like this version more than, someone too young to know what she want in her life.
I don't think she loves him in that way in this version either. I think she's just scared shitless and lonely and she reached to familiar. But don't really think it would've worked ever.
Yes, that's the truth because Jo said she wanted to be a single woman❤
Amy truly loved Laurie for who he was. She saw his potential and encouraged him to grow up. She supported, understood and valued him.

Sometimes we get it right and sometimes we don’t. Better Amy broke off the engagement once she understood she didn’t love him as she should rather than go ahead and marry him only to divorce him.
While I feel terrible for Jo, I prefer her and Laurie as platonic pals. He's better suited to Amy, and they seem to be in their element when she's bossing him about later on, with him not minding one bit!
You mean in the second book?
Jo took Laurie for granted but he found Amy who truly loves him...I love the passionate kiss scene 🥰😍😘
Jo didn't love Laurie. I don't think Jo took Laurie for granted. She just didn't have romantic feelings for him.
She didn't take anything for granted, she simply didn't love him . romantically, nor did she want the brutal confinement that being a wife meant in that day and age. Ppl still struggle with Alcotts feminism, the idea that most ppl want marriage & thats great, but some women don't, especially when marriage means fewer freedoms, which at the time it absolutely did
I just hate hate hate how they tried to make Jo more in love with Laurie than she was. With Bhaer she found an intellectual equal who challenged her to be her best and actually improved her writing with the knowledge from his own experience. He brought a peace and tranquillity to her fiery and restless spirit, without destroying her tenacity. I don’t believe she ever saw Laurie as someone she could marry, even when she was consumed with loneliness. I hate that they treated the happy ending she found with Bhaer as a tired trope that was put in for the sake of selling her book.
so i always thought bhaer was just "imaginary" as some kind of 4th wall breaking since the publisher wants the woman either dead or married, and he also really didnt get a story apart from 15 mins? i thought it fitted, i dont think jo needs a husband
@@FloThePro1231 The Book did an incredible job of describing their relationship development. Definitely would recommend reading! The movie opened it up differently, but is still a great one!
@@elinaoberemok1732 i am reading the book and i hoped that i would be reassured thinking bhaer wasnt real but i guess he is real, just thought it would have been nicer if the story ends with jo not having to have a man in order to be happy and it would have been funny if bhaer was just "written in there" so the story ends with a married woman because thats what the publisher wants
@@FloThePro1231 99% of people need love and family to be happy and for that you need a partner with whom you can start your own family. believe me you don't want to live alone in old age or look for help from strangers but from family. I personally need a man to have a happy life and family.
I do sort of like that they did it this way because it feels like the director paying homage to the author. When she wrote the book she didn’t want Jo to end up with anyone because she had modeled the character largely after herself, but her publisher pushed her to marry Jo off in the second book-ie. Bhaer.
I like the fast and happy answer to Jo's question "Are you in love?" that shy smile from Laurie. I really like Amy and Laurie together ❤
Feel so bad for Amy, she never got to say goodbye to Beth !! 🥺🥺
It was totally unfair of them to not notify her. She could’ve shared last words with her but in the end only visited her grave 😢
I will always appreciate Greta Gerwig and Florence Pugh for doing what I thought was impossible: making me root for Laurie+Amy and making Amy likeable. Lol
fr
Agreed! Florence Pugh is a force of nature! Loved her in Oppenheimer. She shines in revealing complexity in her characters.
@@toninatoli Her role in Oppenheimer was so poorly written though, like you should go look up the actual biography of Jean Tatlock, they did her dirty. And likewise they could've given Flo a much meatier role with less er... I'm a seductive communist vibes. She would've killed it. Many men high up in hollywood aren't interested in giving women meaty roles unfortunately.
Amy: we don't need to talk about it
Laurie: okay, so let's just kiss
“I couldn’t let you travel alone, with aunt march being so sick, even if you despise me” that was too sweet 🥺
As much as I hate them getting married, Paul had no other way to gain control of the Imperium.

It seems like Laurie never actually loved Jo romantically, it's admiration or if love it's friendship type kind of love or sibling-like, it's platonic and he just confuses it for romantic, when talking about amy his eyes is that of someone who's really in love, he's content and he's matured.. i'd love to see a spinoff movie about just amy and laurie's story, i love them both together
Never could stand Jo, she just assumed that Laurie would always be there and in love with her…she was always selfish and toyed with Laurie’s feelings. I’m glad he moved on and found true love.
Bro she rejected him once. She was under no obligation to love him. I think the book made her want him in the end despite desiring to be single and then marrying the critic guy because back then ALL books had to end with the women married off. So just imagine her not writing that letter, and not marrying that man. She never toyed with Laurie. Even if you look at it this way, she was afraid of being alone. It doesn’t matter though. She found love and so did he.
@@saitamatrash2527 actually the book never wanted her with Laurie either and she never changed her mind. She always wanted the professor.
@@saitamatrash2527 Same as Laurue.He is also under no obligation to love Jo forever and come running whenever she wants her back.She had her chance and she let it go.Amy and Laurie found each other.They don't owe Jo anything.
@@saitamatrash2527 in book jo never loved laurie, in the end she didn't regretted turning him down, movie makers did it to make it more dramatic
@@saitamatrash2527 i could be mistaken but I don't remember book jo ever regretting turning down laurie, nor did she want to get back to him.
She turned him down! She can't just have expected him to have waited, just cause she doesn't want to be alone. Good movie though!
Honestly I was really happy that in the end, Amy and Laurie did work out but this scene broke my heart more than anything...
If you really think about it Amy is the one that deserves Laurie. She always loved him in a way that Jo didn’t. Jo always looked at him as a brother/friend. When she ended up regretting turning him down it was for shallow and selfish reasons.
“Are you in love?” I was just waiting for the “bitch, we’re married” lmao
Lol but there are reasons like hers where she wanted him back not out of love but be loved by him

This is the pRt I love best. When Laurie finally realized it's Amy and not Jo to spend life together..
Greta wrote their love story so perfectly.
I wonder if the book portrayed Laurie falling in love with Amy. I felt like the movie should have at least one more scene of the two.
Ugh the acting is just ✨ chefs kiss ✨
Where in the book does Jo write a letter to Laurie saying she was wrong for turning him down??? She never went back on her word and always loved him as a friend. She even was happy that he married Amy.
Why did they do that in the movies? It’s so unnecessary
True
I felt like her letter was in the heat of the moment. She was saddened by Beth’s death and she realized she was truly lonely since all her sisters were off in their own paths. So hearing Laurie, someone she adored in the past coming back, made her think she loved him but all she craved was the familiar nostalgic feeling. Even though it wasn’t in the book, it sort of makes sense
Something I really appreciate but it honestly just the bare minimum and we need to see more of it, is that Lauri waits until Amy brings up her broken engagement to talk about it. He knows she’s grieving, he’s there to support her in her grief while she travels, and even though he outright says he heard about the broken engagement, he doesn’t bring it up first. He’s not there to serve his own interests. He’s there because he loves Amy, and loves the March family, and he’s there to support them.
I love Jo but this film really shows her less than desirable traits - she is completely playing with the feelings of her best friend at her whims
I truly love this couple so much
Jo admits that she doesnt love laurie. She just wanna be loved unlike Amy who always loved him. Laurie deserve Amy.
This is nothing like the book. Jo never wanted to marry Laurie, never.
But in the movie Jo never wanted to marry Laurie. She loved him, but she said she did not want a marriage with him
One of the reasons why I disliked this movie. Previous version so much better. 😎
@@destinychild4659 finally someone else who disliked this version. I really hated it.
Joe:what does Amy call u?
Laurie:"My lord"😊
These actors get married again in Dune
I don’t get it how some people still say joe loved him more than a friend cause she never did.. it’s so evident that the only reason she is wanting him back cause she hates being alone and wants comfort in a friend.. I mean how come they are hating on Amy for choosing Laurie .. are you kidding me .. where’s Laurie and amy meet in Europe and there’s amy was older and more mature and it’s so evident that the love Laurie felt for joe was more leaning towards friendship and the love he has for amy is the passionate and mature one .. I see Laurie and amy just fitting together perfectly man and love both the sisters💕
This is absolutely gorgeous . It shows that you can have Differences in the way Jo and Laurie think and still be able to be friends
They're such a cute couple, amy and Laurie ❤
The music is so so so beautiful when they kiss I’m watching this again and again to hear the music
the "yes, but i like that" 💕💕💕
Love this scene💗
Tim has the most beautiful cheekbones by far ive ever seen on a person. Their are so distinctive and perfect it's ridicilous
IT'S SO CUTE I CANNOT. I AM SOBBING AND MY HEART IS BREAKING AND I AM GOING TO HAVE TO REDO MY EYELINER NOW
Florence Pugh is such a great actress. And she's still so young.
She deserves accolades. I don't see any of the young actresses who can hold up a candle to her
The last we saw of aunt March was when Amy told her that she's turned Fred down
The failed proposal killed her
Laurie and Amy are a Wonderful Couple.
I Love their Kiss 😘. And that they named their daughter after Amy's late sister Beth (RIP).
Beth dies???😢

@@denny6005 thank you! 🥰
La carita que pone Laurie al preguntarle a Jo si podian seguir siendo amigos 😢 me partió el corazón y Jo me transmitió tantos sentimientos 😭🥹
You snooze you loose
Haha...nice one
This movie (the one they show the clip from, here), picked the perfect woman (actor) to portray Amy! This is how I envisioned the adult woman Amy, from the time I first read the book Little Women, when I was a little girl.
This is absolutely gorgeous
If I had a nickel for every time Timothee Chalamet ended up loving another girl and marrying Florence Pugh, I’d have 2 nickels, which isn’t a lot but weird that it happened twice, right?
I'm beginning to think that Denis Villeneuve did that casting on purpose.
Spoiler 😢
Chani: betrayal!
My favourite LW couple :)
What does Amy call you?
My lord 😏
This cracked me up so bad 😂
So basically after the kiss they couldn't keep their hands off each other so they ended up married in the journey back home. That and Amy calling him her Lord and him liking it LOL...I love it.
Although I prefer the 2019 version, the 1994 one describe Amy and Laurie's relationship better. The 2019 film makes it feels like Laurie did not love Amy that much
actually i felt the 1994 version made it seem like he didnt love her this version was the first time i believed that he did
Really? I haven’t seen the 1994 one, but I’ve always felt Laurie loved Amy very deeply in this 2019 version. I never got the impression he didn’t. Rather, he had come to realize it and then understand it. It feels like a mature and happy love, with passion too.
@@harvestcheddar0 if you like amy and laurie don't watch 1994 version it will disappoint you
Really. If anything, the 2019 version is the one that gives the best description of Amy and Laurie. The 1994 version only barely glosses over the relationship between Laurie and Amy, especially when he says that he wants to be a part of the March family No matter what
I think it's the opposite. In the 1994 version, you get the impression that Laurie marries Amy mainly because he wants to be part of the March family. Whereas in this version, we really see the evolution of Laurie and Amy's relationship. She makes him better, she doesn't hesitate to set him straight demanding more of him. Whereas Jo was just accepting him as he was. They wouldn't have made each other happy. They were much better friends.
Hey everyone. i absolutely love this movie .Thianks For Posting.
This version just doesn't do anything for me. Love the version from the 90s. 😍
Timothee had a lot more chemistry onscreen with Armie than any of these women
I think Amy and Laurie were meant for eachother. At the beginning I shipped Jo and Laurie but as you saw, Jo turned him down. Laurie had waited his entire life to be with her, he loved her truly but their relationship was just meant to be platonic in the end. Meanwhile on the other hand with Amy, she was always told to marry rich, I don't think that was truly what she wanted though. She had loved Laurie from the start but was a good sister, she saw how much Laurie cared about Jo and just backed off. She said it "I have been second to Jo my entire life" which was quite frankly true. In the end, where Jo sends the letter and talks to her mom about how she loves him and misses him, I think just a lot was going on in her life especially with Beth's pass. In all honesty I think she was just lonely and needed someone to rely on. She thought of Laurie since she knew he loved her before. She never loved him more than a platonic relationship, and was only in need of a distraction for a little while. The way Jo moved on so quickly is just showing that it was pure true love for Laurie. Like I said, she was just lonely without Beth, without Amy and Meg by her side, she grew sad and looked for Laurie. If you ship Jo and Laurie, you don't really understand the meaning of this movie at all.
Laurie: If I can't get her, I can get her sister.
But obviously, Laurie is not that type of guy, he just move on and keep someone who will make him sane again.
"Você a ama?", o fato de que ele responde sim sem hesitar ou desviar o olhar mostra que ele não tem dúvidas.
Blah blah blah my wife.... YOUR WHAT???!! 😂
I think those who have read books would never doubt laurie's love for amy...Amy's love for jo and jo's love for this young couple... And those who are fighting over this are just jeolous because the well behaved , sweet sister got the boy instead of the feminist heroine
Beth was the best of us

이룰란 공주와 폴 아트레이디스😂
4:25 Friends? Laurie, you and Jo are a lot more than that…now. Now…you’re In-Laws. 😆 😉
Dune looks different here
In the books Amy is a main character who ended up being my favorite at the end, just like this movie. Jo always got the screen time but each character was a main focus in the book.
I dont really know abput the story in the book, but as much as I preferred this couple instead of Laurie and Jo, but isn't it kinda shady that Laurie was always attracted to Jo most of his life and then after being rejected suddenly jumped to Amy? I don't get the development of the character. It's kinda not fair for Amy when she literally attracted/ love him since the first time they met. Correct me if I'm wrong 🙂
I know it seems sudden, but in the book it's clear that a long time passes. Laurie first travels through Europe alone, then he meets Amy and hangs out with her all the time, they exchange letters when he goes away again and overall, Jo is just not suited to be a lady of high society while Amy already knows the drill. Amy and Laurie getting together seems like a natural conclusion to me.
@@foundsomethinggood691 ahhh make sense now... i should've read the book. Thank you for the explanation
Amy and Laurie had an age gap so naturally he's initially gonna be attracted to the sister closest to him in age and personality. but once Amy gets a bit older, they're at a similar enough place in life where he started to feel attracted to her.
I don’t get it either. The movie was completely lacking IMO.
I have read the book and saw 2 movie versions. And have always questioned Laurie's love for Amy. 😉
HE IS THE KWIZATCH HADERACH!!
I know this movie is good and I love Saoirse Ronan, but I will always favor the Winona Ryder/Christian Bale version
LISAN AL GAIB 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The music swelling as they hug 😭
If I had a nickel for every time Florence Pugh played Timothée Chalamet's rebound girl in a popular book-to-film adaptation where his original love interest is cool with it in the book but ticked off in the film, I'd have two nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
I never watched this one as i thought it wouldn’t live up to the one with Winona but not that i am aware of certain actors in it now i do!!!
It's really sad for Jo but she realized too late that she could have a futur with laurie, was she desesperated due to beth death? But, you know men, when they find another good girl, they just go for it, doesn't mean they don't love their new love, but it is just easier for them. I am really happy for amy by the way, she has always loved him for who he was i guess and jo, maybe she was kind of selfish with laurie
So if someone falls in love with you, he's your property for the rest of your life even if you turn him down? I don't get it. Why should Amy be the least bit sorry for loving someone that Jo never wanted? I never got it why Amy felt sorry and apologised. Love is too huge a deal to be petty about.
"my lord" oh my god
Heart: broken
Oh my ! I almost forget this movie my close friend and used to watch this today . We get cried like babay
Loved this book
I love the movie n book because of ammy n lurie
Timothee has too many girlfriends. I think he needs to stop wasting time and get together with Florence 😄👍
love them so much
I am a messy bitch, so I can't help but wonder about the fallout if he had received her letter.
Nothing would have happened cause Laurie had realized And admitted that he loved Amy way more than he had Ever loved Jo.
Besides, Jo never loved him in a romantic way. She only wrote that letter because she was afraid of being alone so she was okay with being with someone she didnt love as long as she was loved back.
BUT Laurie matured and understood his feelings, realizing he didnt love Jo in a correct way.
It was a “no” from both of them aha
@@crackshipsarelife I didn't say this because I think it would have brought jo and Laurie would get together. As you said Jo ain't write this letter because she loved him. But to act like there wouldn't have been reactions from all parties is ridiculous. None of them would brush it off like it was nothing. And I just wanted to see that drama unfold because I like mess. They all got insecurities that the letter would kick over.
@@birdiewolf3497 But Like I’ve said they had all solved the problem Before that’s why there wouldn’t have been much of a fuss.
Laurie had already explained to Jo his feelings & Jo had done that way Before to her mother and After that she had realized what Laurie meant. So if they had found the letter they would have had a smalltalk cause everything was already explained. Jo would have said the Same thing she had explained to her mother to reassure Laurie, whom would have smiled and said he cared about her like a sister. That’s it ahah
Besides, The letter is a Movie Addition (in the Book there isn’t) to Make People undertand way more Jo’s platonic feelings for Laurie
@@crackshipsarelife I know the letter is a movie addition. Listen, there is a difference between moving because you never had a chance, and literally choosing someone else over another person. To say this wouldn't open up old wounds is a lie. He can say those things to Jo, because in his mind it was never going to happen. Jo told him as much. I mean what else was he supposed to say or do? "I no longer love you, but what I feel for your sister is less than what I felt for you, and you were wrong about us all those years ago? " To a woman who rejected him. Telling that to someone who is interested in you is a different thing. And yes I know jo only loves him platonically, and wrote that letter because she was lonely. But that part is irrelevant because the point is to retrigger old emotions, and have our characters actually comfront them head on.
@@birdiewolf3497 But What you are saying in Canon was already brought up and explained. Laurie told The Truth so what he had said to Jo was the whole truth. He didnt lie, if you think that than you didnt undertand the whole relationship.
Again, They had already made things up so if the letter came out Laurie would have told Jo that he loves Amy more and in a mature way. Because this is the truth. And Jo would have explained him why she wrote that letter so she would have confirmed that she never loved him in that way.
Laurie moved on from Jo forcefully in the Beginning, till he didnt Start to get Close to Amy. So he decided to move on. He picked a new chance over his childish and immature feelings for Jo. He understood his feelings. Whetever Jo/Laurie had never been together doesnt change anything becasue the two of them didnt love each other in a Right and healthy way. It was a Fake romantic Love, but Laurie was too immature & unexperience to understand that back then. Once he had another real emotions, he compared The two and understood☺️
They belong together imo
I don't remember that Laurie kisses Amy in the book. I remeber about the engagement between the couple comunicated to Jo and she was happy for them.
This Laurie seems more a boy and Jo needed a mature man, it works out for Amy.😊
I have the book and have read it numerous times, and nowhere in the book it says that she regreted turning him down. She never did and never wrote him a letter. I haven't seen this particular movie and I'm not going to after seeing this.
In the real story, Jo never loved or wanted to be his wife.
Its why I will alway still love and treasure the 1994 version more
