"So weirdly me and my sisters never really fought... physically, but we... there was some..." quick childhood flashback "screaming..."
As someone who lost her sister to illness, that scene where she's begging her sister to fight hits home way too hard.
It would be really cool if they analyzed Pride and Prejudice
As a writer, seeing Amy burn her book hit me hard. I might forgive, but I would NEVER forget, because there's an INSANE amount of work and time that goes into creating and writing a story. it can take years. My first novel took me 8 years. My second one now is taking close to 3.
I do take issue with the tiny comment of Jo asking Beth to fight being about Jo being afraid of her changing... Beth is the least noisy of the March girls. She is the shyest, quietest sister. When Jo asks her to fight it's almost like she's asking her to "fight for once in your life, be angry, be more like me," not so much in a selfish way but in a way that is really human. Jo thinks if their situation was reversed, she would fight harder, so she's empathizing with Beth and offering the best advice she has even though it's not enough to save her and not necessarily fair. It's arguably the only time Jo wants Beth to change.
I think so many people take the “don’t let the sun go down on your anger” way too literally. I often see it as a long term thing, not a legit 24 hour time period.
As a request, can you add captions to the videos rather than the YouTube generated ones? I’d like to send this to a Deaf friend and the automatic ones aren’t always reliable
Hi, I'm 19 years old and I just wanted to share with you guys from Cinema Therapy that this video made a turning point in my life... I discovered your channel not a long time ago and wanted to show my sister some of your videos. While watching this one, we started to talk about our own family (we are six sisters) for the next 3 hours. Right now we are going through a lot of changes. Never ever before, were we so open about our faults, fears, the reasons for them, our wishes and expectations of each other. And all of a sudden everything doesn't seemed like a big catastrophe or incredibly difficult and unsolveable. It seemed normal. We understood, I think, that sharing all of these experiences and growing up with them, makes us a strong family! One whose all members could sometimes be angry with one another, argue, be jealous, but also truly love and support each other - like Jonathan said. So I know it'll be hard to get through all of these difficult times, however, we can do it, together! You have to know that you guys have relieved and helped me/us a lot and I am very grateful to you for it! Best regards from Germany!
I never really thought that some of my very chill friends got angry or upset, even though you'd think that'd be obvious.
I think a point your missing in the Jo/Amy book burning- falling through the ice thing… is that Jo’s grudge contributes to Amy falling through the ice. They didn’t wait for her, and they didn’t tell her the middle wasn’t safe. It’s easy to forget that Amy is meant to be around 12 here. So not only did she nearly lose her sister, but she nearly lost her through her own anger. It’s kinda a metaphor for how her continued anger can harm others.
“Don’t let the sun go down on your anger” can be referenced in the Bible where it says in context of not sinning that anger is not a sin, but don’t let the anger prevail and allow you to sin because you hung onto your anger until the sun went down. In context it’s instruction on the community to work together through problems and not to incite others (such as lying to one another or stealing).
13:45 Even though I wasn't a huge fan of this new version of Little Women, I do love that Greta Gerwig included aspects of the real story of Louisa May Alcott. The book Little Women was a loose story telling of LMA's own childhood. When she first published the book, the story ended at the chapter where their father returns from war and Meg gets engaged. Because of the demand from the public to the publishers to know more about what happened to the lives of the sisters, she then was asked to write a sequel which she called "Good Wives". Today the books are printed together and its why when you read the book you'll notice that there is a 4 year gap between the chapter of the Christmas when their father returns and Meg gets engaged and the following chapter which is when Meg gets married. When LMA was approached to write the sequel she was pressured to marry Jo off and they assumed she would marry Laurie. But LMA didn't want Jo to marry because she herself never did and Jo was a representation of herself. She did marry Jo off in the end in order to please the publishers, but she placed her own twist on it. She was also able to negotiate a much higher percentage of the sales of the books than what was customary, especially as a somewhat unknown author at the time and a women!
when jo says "i don't love him, i just love being loved" that speaks to me so much about my relationships
"don't let the sun go down on your anger" is from the bible and it means not literally but that anger shouldn't stay long.
This was the first time watching this story where I didn’t despise Amy. Because of that non-linear timeline of the film, we see how Amy matures and how her and Laurie always had love for each other. It’s refreshing and just so wonderful. 💜
I always thought it was interesting that the pages were burned and then the culprit was plunged in ice. There's something in that.
I wish the movie had included the chapter where Marmie's sick and the girls have to 'fend for themselves'. They realize how much they rely on their mom for keeping the house organized and meal preparation. Also, so we could've seen Saorise Ronan covered in flour 'is it riz?' 😂
i just found this channel and the amount of good content is astounding. a want a special shoutout to megan for picking the movie and writing good content
Alan not being afraid to cry has truly endeared him to me
