I recently watched the newest Little Women movie with my mom. It was much better than I thought it would be! I recommend it to any fans of the classic or pretty much anybody else. So good.
Some of the things I loved about Little Women…
- The characters were done so well! Emma Watson made a great Meg and I loved how Amy was portrayed. Also, Laurie was awesome.
- The film stayed true to the book. I love it when films of books stay true to the original. Why change it, anyway?
- Instead of starting at the beginning of the book, this version started with Jo going to the newspaper office. The whole movie was filled with flashbacks to different parts of the story. I enjoyed this new way of telling the story.
Some things I didn’t love…
- The Pilgrim’s Progress scene was omitted. This was one of my favorite scenes in the book and I missed it here. However, given that the rest of the movie was accurate, I’ll let it slide.
- Though I loved the flashbacks, the sequence was confusing at first.
You don’t have to give everything a number but I’ll give this one a five out of five.
What movies have you seen lately? Have you seen Little Women, or read the book? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
