Little Women: Feminism a hundred and sixty years ago

On the first day of the new year, I watched "Little Women" with my daughter. This movie was actually designated as PG. It is estimated that it also means that parents can give their children a literary education enlightenment class. After all, "Little Women" is the same as Lu Xun in China in the United States. It is the text on the desks of the majority of students. big.

It’s a pity that I’m not a fan of the original book. I only watched it in my college days, and I remember a little about the grief of the loss in the middle and the happy ending, so the cross-time and space narrative of this new film is really not suitable for me. After all, the story has the beginning and the end. It was only seven years away, and the appearance of the protagonists was basically the same. Except for Ronan, who cut her hair in the middle, I was confused about everything else. Only after the editing of the first half of the episode was over and the story finally started to develop, did I start to cry over the love between Ronan and Tiancha. My daughter thought the publisher's storyline was very humorous, so after I walked out of the theater, I let her do the math. 500 yuan to buy out the copyright and pay 6.6% royalties which is a good math problem.

In my opinion, this story is basically the literary enlightenment education of the American public. After all, there are only a handful of American literature before 1900, not to mention the most ordinary and ordinary civilian life, which is very friendly to read. Another reason the book has stood the test of time is its reference to the infancy of feminism and personal dignity. Although we are still in the initial stage - but to be independent, not to regard love as the only purpose of life, not to let others think that our life is only for love, etc., are still the topics of our efforts today. I asked my daughter, "Do you think Jo loves Teddy?" She said, "I think she still loves..." I agree, but I also agree with her life choices.

The highlight of this film is the costumes and art, which is really pleasing to the eye. Ronan's acting skills have been proved once again - I have to say that the profession of an actor is also dependent on the sky. You see Hermione was born as a child star and acted in so many plays. In the end, he was really killed by Ronan, even the actor who played Amy. The brilliance overwhelmed her, not to mention Meryl Streep, who played her every smile, and Laura Dern, who played her mother. I watched Dunn three times this year—the Silicon Valley executive in "Big Little Lies," the lawyer in "Marriage Story," and the mom in "Little Women."

    At first, I didn't like Joe very, very much. I felt like I was reading a book at the time. I didn't like her talkativeness. She was very unworldly, but she didn't need to despise others. She even felt that she was too harsh on Meg and Amy. , like Meg said, "Don't think my dream is not important just because it's different from yours", yeah, she doesn't want marriage, but someone does. She does not care about love, but some people do. She's not obsessed with pretty and gorgeous dresses, but many girls like it! Later, I reflected on myself, if she wasn't so determined and contradictory, maybe she wouldn't be herself. She likes her sister the most. She has dreams and knows who she loves. Thinking of the feminist movement that has gone too far recently, shouldn't the real feminism be to defend all women? Then those of us who want to have love and family, and want to be an ordinary woman's dream can be considered a dream. In addition, the final ending was too kind, and made everyone reconcile, still in the name of love, thinking of myself, the order and timing of appearances in love are really important! Is that beach also in "Brooklyn"?

    The adaptation is very good, but a few characters were not very well chosen, especially Amy.
