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."

    I wish that the night when time stopped in the attic, that moment of silent abandonment, would destroy forever all the frivolity of youth, all the arrogance and the confusion of hitting a wall before the world and time. Hope the story is also not rosy like the reality, hope that in that moment with all my dreams shattered.

    I love Ronan so much. . . Ronan's roles are all otherworldly me (you who...) and then I can finally calm down and treat Teacher Cha's beauty

Little Women quotes

  • Jo March: I can't say "Yes" truly so I won't say it at all. You'll see that I'm right, eventually, and you'll thank me for it.

    Theodore 'Laurie' Laurence: I'll be hanged if I do!

    Jo March: You'll find some lovely accomplished girl, who will adore you, and make a fine mistress for your fine house. I wouldn't. I'm homely and awkward and odd and you'd be ashamed of me and we would quarrel - we can't help it even now! - I'd hate elegant society and you'd hate my scribbling and we would be unhappy and wish we hadn't done it and everything will be horrid.

    Theodore 'Laurie' Laurence: Anything more?

    Jo March: Nothing more -- except that... I don't believe I will ever marry. I'm happy as I am, and love my liberty too well to be in any hurry to give it up.

    Theodore 'Laurie' Laurence: You will care for somebody, and you'll love him tremendously, and live and die for him. I know you will, it's your way, and you will and I'll watch.

    Jo March: Teddy...

  • Jo March: Perhaps... perhaps I was too quick in turning him down. Laurie.

    Marmee March: Do you love him?

    Jo March: If he asked me again, I think I would say yes. Do you think he'll ask me again?

    Marmee March: But do you love him?

    Jo March: I care more to be loved. I want to be loved.

    Marmee March: That is not the same as loving.
