I watched the 1994 version of the movie, the tone, background, costumes, and actors all won my heart. The background of the era of the liberation of black slaves during the civil war between the North and the South.

About Joe and Laurie From the beginning of the two people's acquaintance and happy childhood sweethearts to the time when Joe rejected Laurie, the two began to walk away

At first, I could actually understand that when Joe was young, because he still had the idea of ​​"the rivers and lakes are so big, I haven't seen enough of why I should spend my life in marriage", and Laurie might have even had an idea about her future with her. There are different

In the end, Laurie and Amy were still quite shocking to me, but after thinking about it, it was understandable, especially when Laurie said "I always knew I would be a part of the March family" because at March's house he felt that in his own home, although full of With the kind of energy and warmth that various books and music do not have, and the support and guidance given to them by the mother of the four sisters, Laurie must finally understand the realism of Amy. beautiful quality

In fact, in the end, the combination of jo and the German professor made me still a little incomprehensible or did not believe it. Maybe it was because the appearance of the German professor happened just when jo's ideal was realized. His appearance is just timing right, but I don't think jo really loves the German professor or yearns for love and marriage

Thinking of a novel I read today, the heroine gave up her short track speed skating practice for eight years because of a boy she liked in high school because she wanted to go to the same university as him. When the boy rejected her, she picked it up again. The dream of short track speed skating and when she met the boy again, she said, "I hate him, but I don't really hate him because I hate myself at that time. I hate the time at that time. I will remember the dream I gave up."

As for jo, I dared to think that maybe it was also because when she met a German professor, it happened that she was constantly climbing towards the goal of being a writer, and finally her dream came true. This time became the best time in this time. The person becomes the person she will remember and even enjoy being together for the rest of her life

So sometimes I think back on it as if we all met some people along the way that we thought would be good together, but never thought about the possibility at the time, just like when Jo heard Laurie's confession, I liked it You, but I don’t think I can be your partner. I don’t know if it’s a lack of self-confidence or overconfidence in myself. Idealists always have enough imagination about the future and don’t want to be finalized by reality. It’s like talking to a German professor. When discussing Schiller, Goethe and the Romantic Philosophy of Transcendence Theory "Beyond the Self without Pursuing Perfection", the light in the eyes seems to say "I see the ideal of me"

Little Women quotes

  • Josephine 'Jo' March: Doesn't he have a noble brow? If I were a boy I'd want to look just like that.

  • Jo March: I find it poor logic to say that because women are good, women should vote. Men do not vote because they are good; they vote because they are male, and women should vote, not because we are angels and men are animals, but because we are human beings and citizens of this country.

    Mr. Mayer: You should have been a lawyer, Miss March.

    Jo March: I should have been a great many things, Mr. Mayer.
