Even better, when Greta explains how the first pairing we see in the beginning is the couple we expect to see at the end (love story format) ... Jo is at the door of the publisher in the beginning and seeing her book made at the end. It is the love story of a woman and her career!
It's such a good film. Exactly what you guys said its sooo good. I use to watch loads cinema but I stopped and this film really got me. Brilliant film :)
LOOK i know people say shes overrated and of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion but GOD i think shes such a genuis. I love the way she talks about writing and the overwhelming passion she has. This adaptation (to me) is something special and will stay with me forever.
I didn't know a thing about Greta Gerwig. When I first watched Lady Bird it shook me to my core. Often I've found people writing women as "women" (with all the baggage they associate with womanhood) or as "men but not men" (stripping them of pathos and female trauma completely). Greta shows womanhood so differently. LB made me an instant fan and she is the only reason why I rushed to watch this film. It was really nice to hear her take on the technicality of writing!
The "girl gets book" moment had me crying harder than I have cried in a movie in years, to the point where it was embarrassing. I have wanted to be a writer my entire life and 2019 was really rough for me creatively, so that ending was deeply cathartic
There are rumours about her and the "Barbie" movie along with her husband Noah Baumbach. She's so amazing and delicate, always taking a deep look at humanity that I am certain she's going to deliver.
I love that Greta told the stories of the sisters too. Almost all the adaptations just focus on Jo and her story. I also really love the blending of the author and the story in this version as well. It's such a beautiful nod to Alcott herself.
the way that seeing laura dern cry during beth's death scene again on this video made me cry on sight just shows how emotional and raw this movie is i wanna watch it again so bad
Little Women was my favorite film from last year and also the best experience I had in the cinema, too. I had a massive grin the whole way through and saw it two times back to back, Greta's definitely the one to look out for.
What's she's saying about the fixation on a romantic interest based on the order in which the characters are introduced is so true, yet I haven't really noticed it before Greta pointed it out. Amazing.
@@TishaMae bruh then why are u here, did u not watch the video of her explaining all the new things she brought to it ahh. anyways, this is just my opinion and its fine if you disagree, but this film was absolutely needed. first of all, I didn't even know other little womens even EXISTED until this. second, this film is what got me into movies and gerwig insppires a whole new generation to be a writers/directors so
The delivery of the lines was something I especially noticed! The other movies had them all delivery it the same way but this was so real and genuine, the sisters acted like sisters and argued and screamed and interrupted each other. It felt so special.
It's so great to hear Greta talk about the slash! Oh, the mighty slash! Kevin Kerr and Sarah Delappe also use the slash and other techniques to make dialogue feel more natural and fast paced - asterisks and multiple columns also help. I think movie and tv writers could learn so much from playwrights, and I'm so glad Greta Gerwig is borrowing techniques like these
The genius of this version is the non linear timeline. The difference really is in meeting Laurie with Amy because it does validate their eventual marriage as it not only adheres to that rule of film that the first boy or girl that meet are the one they should end up with, even if that isn't at all how real life goes, but one of the very first things Laurie says is that he is not sorry Jo turned him down so that also validates him marrying Amy. Every aspect of this film fixed or addressed the problems I've had with other adaptions and if another wants to outdo this one then it will have to do something pretty damn impressive because as it stands right now, Greta Gerwig's Little Women is the definitive version.
Both of her films have absolutely inspired me, broke me down, made me cry. I have long loved the 90's version of Little Woman as a family favorite, as well as the book. But holy shit her version. I watched it near christmas with my mom and younger sister and while I held my tears in as best I could, I sobbed later that night not out of sadness but out of just pure elation at how beautiful it felt to have emotions I've felt explained on screen in a way I hadn't experience before. I think she is a genius, people can say what they wanna say but she is literally leading the way for female filmmakers.
I am so in love with Greta Gerwig's intelligence and passion that she has for her art form. I genuinely hope everyone finds that same passion for whatever they pursue, because my god it's beautiful
This movie took my breath away... It made me nostalgic in a way that broke my heart. I cried at so many of the themes in this movie! It was also GORGEOUS i mean i wanna live there! The way it ended was so brilliant :) Greta is a GEM !
I mean, my hatred for Professor B is as much a part of me as my love for writing (thanks to Jo!) is a part of me ...so I'm *never* going to not hate that character but Greta Gerwig's retelling of him did make him less awful for me. I also love the technique used for updating the dialogue and the framing of the story around Beth's death and everything else basically!
As someone who has now spent all of her life trying to be better at writing than she was the day before, I hope I can be half the creative talent she is.
She is very dedicated to narratives. Is very rare to find an actor/writer/director. Usually, a filmmaker is two of them, or even one. But she is great at all of them, she is a genius of representation :)
Everything I picked up from this movie but couldn’t put into words... she is extraordinary, this movie couldn’t be better. And the way she succeeds in what she wants in the finished product (which I swear is like a lifetime of work😂?? And she managed it in how long!!??😱) I aspire to write and she’s definitely an inspiration though how could anyone get to her level?? She’s so incredibly smart✨ I’m so grateful we’re blessed with this level of filmmaking. So many ppl apart of it and we’re so blessed to have all of them👏🏻👏🏻
Gerwig very quickly became one of my favorite favorite directors. Lady Bird is my favorite film of all time and Little Women was my favorite film of 2019 and listening to her talk about how she made this is very insightful
GG! Slow clap!!! Hence, every reviewer of the film who spoke with authority about the timeline of TLW she made is so confusing simply did not understand and observed how it’s splices of events moving forward. She may or may not won many awards but I hope she keeps doing her craft.
Finally!! A female writer who is not obsessed with creating all powerful, all knowing female characters, all of which focuses on nothing more than bashing weak men to accomplish this aim/agenda...Gerwig's portrayal of the characters in Little Women, although modernized a bit, was done with forethought, and, gasp, the women actually had flaws and all the men were not depicted as weak and sexist...you know, like real life people.
This resonates, especially about not losing your creative ideas during the writing process. I wish Greta's intent had come through more clearly in the film, or perhaps, I wish I understood the intent before watching the film, because I would have enjoyed it even more (and probably cried more). How? I don't yet know - battling the same issue.
Almost all girls in my era felt that this was her book. I have loved all the movie variants every made. It motivated me to read all of Alcott's writings and her biography as her father's daughter.
I hadn't either! It's really helpful to understand how dialogue overlaps, since that's usually how conversation flows in real life. Thanks for watching.
I loved this movie so much, because when they announced they were making it I had gotten the book a month ago and already read it two times. It's still my favorite book and I think this version captured it perfectly
She is so, so smart!!! Thank you, Greta, for breaking the stereotype that suggests screenwriting needs to be done methodically and you should always go through outlines, beat sheets, treatments, etc. The truth is - every artist has a different process. I completely relate to what Greta says - outlining for me is the fastest way to kill a story and all of my enthusiasm along with it.
I discover your channel today and it's incredible! Congratulations, I'm learning a lot thanks to you. Could you do Fleabag next or killing eve? I think Phoebe Waller-Bridged is brilliant and needs a video in your amazing channel.
she is so fucking smart and this film is extremely special to me, you don't even understand, she really inspires me to get into writing and film. smth about gerwig, her amazing awkwardness and spewing out words yet somehow coming out with the perfect intelligible answer makes her so endearing and fun to be around, she has this warmth and is truly smth special. its because of her and this film that made me interested in film and movies; and I owe it all to greta geriwg and little women,.
How do you make a video like this? The music is intriguing and the context is rich and informative in an interesting way. I think I can watch a full documentary if there were one.
Greta is definitely The Real Deal. I agree that most of writing is just sitting with the problem and trying for that break, and even when you get it you're not sure if it'll stick. I'm curious to see what she'll do with the Barbie film.
This film is a joy and having her break down the mechanics is valuable. I don't care if she is overrated. What is important is that women used to be persecuted by Hollywood and soon they will not be. We are living in the transition. This transition affects our whole society, and the culture wars represent the death of systems of oppression right before our eyes.
I loved little women growing up but ugh the part when Amy throws all of Jo’s hard work in the fire (her only copy of all her stories ahhhh!!!) just hurts me in my soul sooo much. I have a sister and when we were young and she’d get angry her instinct was too rip up my artwork and things like that, so it just hits too close to home lol. And then most recently I found I couldn’t read it all because I didn’t want to get to the part where Beth died.
❤ wow. she is so brilliant. and this was such a great and fascinating structural (and maybe structuralist as well?) explanation. (for the literary sticklers, yes, i know, i am not using cap letters. i am not illiterate, but it is simply too time consuming to use the shift key, and, i am a bauhaus modernist, and letter egalitarian, and i think cap letters amidst lower case is an ugly aesthetic :)
We tend to dismiss women who know what they want, who are confident and really talented because it's what we have learned to do, because if we celebrated it, us women could reach a power that could destabilize the economy, and this is not an exaggeration. So glad we are being more aware these days
Behind the Curtain that makes logical sense of course. Getting all your ducks in a row so to speak. Sounds like she is marching to the beat of another drummer 😜
I get what she’s saying. I like outlining as well but I feel that if I don’t I can go to various different directions and get interesting stuff and change it later. The outline locks me in a place without much wiggle room

@@BehindtheCurtain thank you for posting this! :)
Seeing her get her book was 10x more emotional than seeing her get her man!
It's such a good film. Exactly what you guys said its sooo good. I use to watch loads cinema but I stopped and this film really got me. Brilliant film :)

I really loved it as well
Who says she’s overrated?? Need to have a word with them.
She had good amount of knowledge of complex narration and she treats her characters very well, can not wait to see her next film.
Who the fuck says she's overrated?
White cis men!
She’s a national treasure! ❤
"That the character whose says most clearly what she wants is the one we hated for so long" - ouch why I feel attacked and why Greta is a genius
It reminded me of the way the industry and media, and therefore the people treated Megan Fox.
Listening to her talk about her film is like being in a one-to-one lecture with her.
precisely
I didn't know a thing about Greta Gerwig. When I first watched Lady Bird it shook me to my core.

I agree with you. Oh my gosh. You just encapsulated everything that I want to say on how Greta Gerwig portrays both male and female characters. :)
Fuck that is dumb. Wow.
@@vevvenennevvev5945 you alright mate?
she doesn't make STRONG females characters. she makes strong female CHARACTERS
Greta is brilliant.
The "girl gets book" moment had me crying harder than I have cried in a
movie in years, to the point where it was embarrassing. I have wanted to
be a writer my entire life and 2019 was really rough for me creatively,
so that ending was deeply cathartic
No way same!!! It made me sob because I'm writing a novel and this movie has inspired me so much after watching that scene with Jo receiving her book.
Greta is so incredibly talented. Her writing here, her direction in Lady Bird, and her acting in Frances Ha. I can’t wait until her next film!
There are rumours about her and the "Barbie" movie along with her husband Noah Baumbach. She's so amazing and delicate, always taking a deep look at humanity that I am certain she's going to deliver.
@@estherbraga2341 barbie? as in the doll?
Fall 2023-Barbie is wonderful!!!

brooklyn that whole scene killed me every time I saw it. Can’t even listen to the song!
She's phenomenal. So many nuggets of wisdom in her interviews
I knooow! 😍👏
I love Amy so much because I see her in myself. I'm so glad Greta gave her "context".
Little Women was my favorite film from last year and also the best experience I had in the cinema, too. I had a massive grin the whole way through and saw it two times back to back, Greta's definitely the one to look out for.
You were grinning? I was crying for a chunk of it
Same❤️❤️
Same! Grin and Happy tears all the way
"the one who said so clearly what she wanted was the one we hated the most" WOAH
that! Oooh THAT! Was a video a didn't wanted to end. Just perfect, thank you for doing this
What's she's saying about the fixation on a romantic interest based on the order in which the characters are introduced is so true, yet I haven't really noticed it before Greta pointed it out. Amazing.
I don't think anyone can remake Little Women ever again
Just you wait
They never should have after the 90s one but here we are
This is like the full stop.
@@TishaMae bruh then why are u here, did u not watch the video of her explaining all the new things she brought to it ahh. anyways, this is just my opinion and its fine if you disagree, but this film was absolutely needed. first of all, I didn't even know other little womens even EXISTED until this. second, this film is what got me into movies and gerwig insppires a whole new generation to be a writers/directors so
I think there's always possibility. I have seen the movie, there's a room for improvement.
I love her idea of seeing life as a point just moving forward and how it feels as if you could live your younger days in a mere reminiscence.
The delivery of the lines was something I especially noticed! The other movies had them all delivery it the same way but this was so real and genuine, the sisters acted like sisters and argued and screamed and interrupted each other. It felt so special.

How have I not known about this channel??? Will be binging for the next several days!!
Haha, enjoy!
@@BehindtheCurtain Oh my god hi I didn't think you'd see my comment hahaha thanks for responding!
going to need a 2 hour version of greta talking about her process and this film

I felt this on a personal level
I never hated Amy, I just disliked her because she burned Jo's book 😂 I love her now though
I came here to say the exact same thing! She was written and portrayed so well in the movie though
@@bananahacks9006 and Florence Pugh played her really well too
showing the pairings you have by the end in the beginning really makes a difference, I've never noted that before,,
great video and great channel
Greta is a genius; I really respect her work and her creativity! Definitely my role model!! One of the best directors 100%
I love Little Women so much and am always so impressed whenever I watch a BTS or scene breakdown or conversation with Greta about it. UGH! Loved this!
As someone who has now spent all of her life trying to be better at writing than she was the day before, I hope I can be half the creative talent she is.
The ending was so satisfying to watch as a viewer. I was so overjoyed when she had her book published..it was such a feel-good moment.

She is so wise, I can listen to her speak all day. She makes art that you can feel and allows me to see the world more clearly.
that was so inspiring. i want to write a screenplay now.
Gerwig very quickly became one of my favorite favorite directors. Lady Bird is my favorite film of all time and Little Women was my favorite film of 2019 and listening to her talk about how she made this is very insightful
Thank you, this is really helpful for learning more about structuring narratives.
"it's not girl gets boy - it's girl gets book"
love that.
Gerwig, my favorite film maker, one of the best artists. Period.
i love her voice so much
i didn't care one bit for lady bird, i just couldn't hold my attention to it but man did Little Women amaze me, instantly one of my favorites!
As an aspiring young screenwriter, I must say that your channel is very helpful. Thank you for posting such interesting and informative content!
GG! Slow clap!!! Hence, every reviewer of the film who spoke with authority about the timeline of TLW she made is so confusing simply did not understand and observed how it’s splices of events moving forward. She may or may not won many awards but I hope she keeps doing her craft.
she's literally brilliant ladies and gentlemen
I've learned so much, listening to her, and they way she approached the text, wow what a great filmmaker you are Greta Gerwing.
greta is my icon i love her so much oMG
The part where she talked about the over lapping conversations really amazed me
The bit about "the first person you see them with" is GENIUS, I'm sorry. The whole thing is genius.
Finally!! A female writer who is not obsessed with creating all powerful, all knowing female characters, all of which focuses on nothing more than bashing weak men to accomplish this aim/agenda...Gerwig's portrayal of the characters in Little Women, although modernized a bit, was done with forethought, and, gasp, the women actually had flaws and all the men were not depicted as weak and sexist...you know, like real life people.

Greta's version of Little Women is my therapy. I've lost count of all the times I've watched this film❤ it's my comfort movie
This movie was a literal cinematic masterpiece!
In this times this movie really touches me..
I’ve never heard of the / formatting! That’s great! The comparison of an orchestra is really nice
I hadn't either! It's really helpful to understand how dialogue overlaps, since that's usually how conversation flows in real life. Thanks for watching.
Aaron Sorkin and David Mamet do it too, but they use parentheses, which I like more since the slash is used in poetry to indicate a new line.
I loved this movie so much, because when they announced they were making it I had gotten the book a month ago and already read it two times. It's still my favorite book and I think this version captured it perfectly
Greta is amazing, and so was this movie! Love this.
This is without question the most beautiful and perfect movie I have ever seen.

This is phenomenal to behold. Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Greta is definitely The Real Deal. I agree that most of writing is just sitting with the problem and trying for that break, and even when you get it you're not sure if it'll stick. I'm curious to see what she'll do with the Barbie film.
Dude this movie was made for me, as someone who has seen other adaptations of Little Women and has had my own opinions on the ending.
*Thank You for the video, from Assam, India .*
Thanks for watching!
keep doing this! I love your video so much
Thank you! More coming soon :o
thanks for making this! Love your and Gretas work
I have also always known Jo March. Great adaptation. She got the book!
Very perceptive and smart approach to writing. Thanks for the video :)

We tend to dismiss women who know what they want, who are confident and really talented because it's what we have learned to do, because if we celebrated it, us women could reach a power that could destabilize the economy, and this is not an exaggeration. So glad we are being more aware these days
Step one: read "Little Women"
Step two: adapt 4th screenplay.
Step three: explain how you wrote "Little Women"
Author: Louisa May Alcott
MARLON!!! ❤ oh my heart!
Thanks for another great analysis.
She doesn’t outline before she writes because it kills ideas??😀
It's wild! I'm still finding the balance in my writing process, but definitely still prefer outlining before writing haha.
Behind the Curtain that makes logical sense of course. Getting all your ducks in a row so to speak. Sounds like she is marching to the beat of another drummer 😜
I get what she’s saying. I like outlining as well but I feel that if I don’t I can go to various different directions and get interesting stuff and change it later. The outline locks me in a place without much wiggle room
It can be liberating getting everything out first and then going back to see how it fits, doesn’t fit, needs to be changed, what the potential is.
As a pantser, I totally get it.
Yes... with Louisa Alcotts book, and several movie versions... it must have been difficult.
