In 2018, Greta Gerwig became the fifth woman ever to be shortlisted in the Best Director category at the Academy Awards, for her movie "Lady Bird". It was an ode to mother-daughter relationships, and she continues her exploration of strong female characters with an adaptation of the Louisa May Alcott classic, "Little Women". It's the inspiring story of four sisters as they come of age in the aftermath of America's civil war, and is a project Gerwig fought to write and direct.

I cried thru second half of Little Women. Moving and courageous. Gerwig is brilliant.

It's the humility of a greatly talented person who seems unsure of how very talented they are that impresses me. Greta is a treasure. A moving interview. A moving film.

Yeah, it's been done.

@AbcDef-ww2gy 4 жыл бұрын

No, it has NOT been done. This version is an utterly unique deconstruction of the book and the author. It has now turned into an ensemble piece rather than only following the protagonist, Jo.

@myytchanneldinakoha8498 4 жыл бұрын

Abc Def The 1933 version was a vehicle for Kate Hepburn, but the 1949 and 1994 were ensemble. That’s why they hired Elizabeth Taylor and Janet Leigh (‘49) and made stars (or bigger stars) out of Kirsten Dunst, Claire Danes and Christian Bale.

@myytchanneldinakoha8498 4 жыл бұрын

Abc Def Not to mention Susan Sarandon was Marmee. But, yes, this new version is a bit different and in tune with the times.

@AbcDef-ww2gy 4 жыл бұрын

@@myytchanneldinakoha8498 Of course the previous versions had good actors in the supporting roles. The difference is that the storyline always followed Jo, never anyone else. All the scenes between Amy and Laurie here, especially, are an innovation, since in the previous versions Jo learns about the developments and that's that. We don't see the other characters' backstories.

There are lots of male-directed movies that get great reviews without getting an Oscar nomination. But of course it's sexism when it happens to a woman.

@juancho2392 4 жыл бұрын

Couldn't said it better. I feel like women think they deserve award nominations based on their gender rather than their movies

@AfterFreedomDebating 3 жыл бұрын

This makes 0 sense. For two reasons: 1. If it's a great movie and males dont get nominated, they always make a fuss too. 2. This isn't just a movie with good reviews, it was one of the best movies of 2019 so it should've been recognized as such

constant repeating of the past novels into movies ... no longer has it place in history.. it make no sense to those who've never lived it. Stop boring us, please?

@sophiacook5713 4 жыл бұрын

Famous dead guy said - "The past is not dead. In fact, it's not even past." Several of aforementioned dead guy's novels were made into movies. As were writings from Shakespeare, Dickens, Tolstoy, Bronte, Twain. And don't get me started on King Arthur. I think not many people agree that the stories of past eras are boring or lack sense. Maybe it's just that this is a story about women, by a woman, made into a film by a woman. It's ok if you don't want to see it--but don't suggest it is boring in itself. It is simply not your taste--but it is definitely the taste of the many people who read the book and resonated with this particularly masterful adaptation.

Remaking Little Women every generation or so is a testament to the author’s genius. It remains relevant and relatable and certainly creates a new space in every generation’s history.

"... it makes no sense to those who've never lived it." There it is. The biggest drawback to being an old white straight male like yourself is that you have little empathy for people who have lived different lives to yourself. Learn some empathy for other humans and broaden your mind. Until you can do that, please stop boring us with your boring KZfaq comments.
