The first time I read the original "Little Women", it should be junior high school or younger, when I was crazy to read world famous books, often running to bookstores during the summer vacation, and all the pocket money was used to buy books... I have to say that reading the world's famous works is still early, otherwise you will not be able to read quietly when you grow up. If you can't read it when you are a child, when you become an adult, you will suddenly have an epiphany at a certain moment and say" "This is the original meaning."
Back to the point, when I watched "Little Women" in the cinema, there were several times when my eyes were wet, which may be the most ideal way for every woman who has a female writer's dream. It is difficult to imagine that the universal view expressed in "Little Women" is still popular in today's society, and it is still popular... If this society, when women talk about marriage and love, can not be called "feminism", but as a very normal natural expression of opinion, is the real fairness of men and women.
Which girl when she was a child, did not want to marry Prince Charming, "Snow White", "Cinderella" Disney princesses did not end up "married" in the end. So when the owner of the publishing house asked Joe to revise the end of the story to the end of the popular happy marriage, Joe experienced many layers of changes in his heart, and finally agreed to increase the reward. After all, this is the best belonging to women in the universal view.
The film is the kind of shooting that I really like, flashbacks, flashbacks and other non-linear narrative techniques, seven years ago, seven years later, two timelines interspersed. Bright warm colors are the memories of seven years ago, gray and dark cool tones are the reality of seven years later, the lens of the girl's feelings is always the poetry of the rambling, the picture is very beautiful and vivid, I watch the film habitually study the color and light of the lens picture, "Little Women" is very "calm" did not deliberately render anything, this is the female director's sense of proportion.
Why do women have to be, so-and-so's wife, so-and-so's mother, so-and-so's woman, why can't she be herself? Cherishing the most precious self is the greatest cure in life.
There must always be some people who become "monsters" who are discriminated against by the world, so I will become that one.
Joe returned from New York, decided to give up writing, doubting whether he was a little decisive and brainless in rejecting the male protagonist's confession, and told her mother that if the male protagonist asked her again, she would accept the confession. Mother asked her, then do you love him? No matter how many reasons Joe found, her mother still asked her over and over again, so do you love him?
Finally Joe was a little angry and a little lost and a little confused, and when he said these words to his mother, my tears were always in my eyes:
“Women have minds and they have souls and they have ambitions...
I’m so sick of people saying that love is all a woman is fit for.
I’m so sick of it...
But I’m so lonely.”
The living methods of the four women in "Little Women" are worthy of in-depth study, so it is said that the universal view in it is still very common in today's society... I don't know if it's sadness or a harbinger of the times.
"When a woman no longer expresses independence and freedom by resisting marriage, such a society can achieve basic fairness."
The last thing that moved me to tears was that at the end of the film, Joe watched through the glass the whole process of publishing and printing "Little Women". From printing, binding, to branding, step by step, interspersed with flashbacks of memories of the past, people feel that the passage of time is no longer indifferent. Your own time is timeless.
The scene where Joe holds her novel, she understands as never before that when you give up the worldly rules, you gain far more than you lose, and this is the value of life that she values most: to be a writer and let the work circulate. Maybe everything will pass away, but words will always remember your experience.
We often say that we live up to love and freedom, and this love does not only refer to love.
