New Version Of Little Women: Brisk And Full Of Attitude

2miao/ text

Jo Madge (Saiorse Ronan), standing at the door of the publisher's office in New York, is looking forward to selling his new story. She claimed that she was commissioned by a friend, but the ink on her hand showed that she was the owner of the manuscript. The publisher made no effort to abridge the story and agreed to publish the rest. Out of the office, Joe immediately ran up joyfully, holding up his slightly redundant skirt, and proudly walking through the crowd.

This is the beginning of the latest edition of the little woman, adapted and directed by Greta Geerwig, a talented girl in Hollywood. When Ronan wantonly runs in the exquisite era landscaping, she plays Qiao without restraint, his body and expression are free and free, which makes it easy for us to think of the heroine played by Geerwig in "Francis Ha". Under the clutter of people and traffic in New York Chinatown, we can hardly care about the surrounding sight and easily run across the streets. After her first success, Miss bode, was favored by the Hollywood studios. He launched his second director of the film in North America this Christmas. Saiorse Ronan once again played the role of the heroine.

Little woman. Data map

In 1868, the little woman published and sensed the American literary world. In this autobiographical novel, Luisa May Alcott, the writer, depicted the growth journey of an ordinary family and four sisters during the American Civil War. In the past one hundred and fifty years, the story of little women has been spread all over the world, has been made into stage dramas and TV dramas, and has been moved to the big screen many times. How to re interpret the classics, let the Madge family's four sisters encounter with the present age resonates, is Geerwig needs to face the difficulty.

First, structural breakthroughs are made. The scene was cut to seven years ago, when the four sisters were enjoying their last childhood together. The new version of "little woman" deconstructs and reconstructs the linear narrative of the original. Two time lines are interlaced in parallel. An object and a familiar picture can be a channel of temporal and spatial transformation. The film goes back and forth smoothly to their ignorant girlhood and gradually to mature life. The audience witness their farewell to carefree childhood and witness their future.

The film is made of film, and the elegant Hua Hua road also tries to create a sense of age. But the retro appearance is wrapped up in a fairly modern and progressive core of thought. It can be said that this is a successful new wine in old bottles. Geerwig, who chose the task alone, did not subvert the characteristics and key choices of each of the four sisters. Instead, he gave these characters new spirit of the times on the basis of respecting the original works. In addition to the three sisters who died due to illness, the other three women were married to love rather than the social definition of a female destination. Meg (Emma Watson) gave up her vanity on the surface, and fearlessly chose to fight against poverty with her lover. Little sister Amy (Florence Pugh) first rejected the opportunity to enter the upper class with the help of marriage. Once the willful little girl became very opinionated, she won the favor of her young neighbor Laurie (Timothy Chilmed) who had been secretly in love for a long time.

The second sister Qiao finally went to win her love with her family's encouragement, and became a couple with a like-minded professor. Before the happy ending, the most touching scene in the film is Joe's frustration in his mother's arms, which reveals the loneliness of a strong girl who has faded away from the green. Independence does not mean that there is no need for companionship.

A boy's angry Joe always puts joy, sadness and joy on her face. She is free and outgoing, challenging the stereotypes, full of expressive desire and delicate feelings. To a certain extent, Joe's image fits our expectations and insights of independent women. Of course, Ge Wei also projected the most self in this role. Like Joe, she used their most influential media in their times to convey their reflections on marriage and trade, women's independence and financial freedom.

From the perspective of different characters, the little woman provides different attitudes towards marriage. It not only pokes the hearts of the women, but also encourages the male audience to understand and respect women. Geerwig appropriately let the characters debate each other about whether the demands of women in the age are reasonable, so that the Marge sisters can understand the significance of marriage to each other. She has not denied the marriage system, nor has it derogated from men. Just like Geerwig himself and Ronan in the film, the film has been giving off a whole lot of fun from beginning to end, which is due to the confidence and confidence of the creators and performers to convey their ideas, and also to a certain extent, dispel the sharp feeling brought by sharp lines. Even if this is a lively and warm movie, it is undoubtedly full of attitude.
