Originally in the Chinese mainland is scheduled to be released on February 14, helpless epidemic outbreak, can only be rescheduled after goodbye, but this cat has the honor to watch in advance, after all, there is a cat like Ronan sister ah! It is strongly recommended that you must go to the theater to see this classic literary adaptation that is infused with modern avant-garde consciousness.
Little Women, a novel by the American writer Louisa May Olcott, was first published in 1868. Set against the backdrop of the American Civil War, it tells the story of four sisters from an ordinary family in new England in the United States in the 19th century.
The storyline is simple and true, so that readers have a deep sense of substitution and identification, and has been widely welcomed by readers around the world for more than a hundred years. The American Book Association and the American Education Association selected 100 must-have books for rural primary schools, of which 25 were selected, and it ranked first.
It is one of the world's best-selling outstanding works and one of the best family novels in the United States by the National Library of The United States. In the past hundred years that have touched countless readers, they have also been put on the big screen and small screen many times.
The chart below includes the 1978 episodic version, the 1987 Japanese anime version, the 2004 Korean drama version, the 1979 and 2017 BBC versions, etc., and the adaptation is relatively not too successful.
The four sisters in the novel have different personalities and represent different female figures, the eldest daughter Megan is emotionally self-reliant, the second daughter Joe is self-reliant in her career, the third daughter Beth is morally selfless, and the fourth daughter Amy has her own artistic pursuits. Among them, Joe is based on the author's childhood life as a blue book, a bit semi-autobiographical.
The following four are the most famous and well-known in the adaptation, the best reputation, and the version that gathered the most popular actresses at that time, and they are also considered to be the "must-choose in the season" in various periods, you can see, is your goddess in it?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > 1933 edition</h1>
The 1933 edition of Little Women was widely recognized by both audiences and the industry as the most successful and faithful to the original, and it was a box office hit that year, and it also won the 6th Academy Awards in 1934 for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Picture and Best Director.
Director George Cook is naturally indispensable, this work is his early masterpiece, and the later classic masterpieces "Gone with the Wind" and "Lady Cook" are all from the hands of this "female director" (especially good at dealing with female themes, which can make the heroine play her strengths).
In terms of actors, it has to be mentioned that Catherine Hepburn, who played the female Joe, won the Oscar crown of that year with the Venice Film Festival in the same year as "Morning Glory".
At that time, she was 26 years old, not only to play Joe in her 10s, but also to show Joe's unique juvenile heroism, which was also a big challenge, but her performance was really outstanding, which was also the queen's acting skills when she won the Oscar 4 times, not to mention the N nominations.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > 1949 edition</h1>
Compared with the previous 33 version, although the 49 version is inferior in both the main creative lineup and the influence, the rating is higher.
Director Mauvin Leroy won an Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement at the age of 46, and famous works such as "Soul Breaking Blue Bridge" and "Mandarin Dream Revisited" are his works before directing this work, although this work has been criticized by the audience for casting problems.
The casting of other actors is not to say, this version of the audience left the deepest impression, naturally among the actors Elizabeth Taylor, who was only 17 years old at the time, playing the third daughter Amy (in order to take care of the child star who played Bass, the three or four positions in the original book were deliberately reversed).
Her beauty has since amazed the world, although this version of Amy is very vain, but under The interpretation of Taylor, it has attracted the audience's love, and the alias of the film has changed from the previous work "Lan Yu Chun Wei" to "Lan Bo Yu Yu Girl", because of the "Jade Woman".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > 1994 edition</h1>
Compared with the previous two versions, the 94 version of the original work is not small (it is said that they are all the director's bootlegs), and many of the original things that were not annoying have become annoying in this version, and even the story between the female joe and the male one Laurie has been "tampered with" a lot, for which many viewers do not buy it.
The director is Gillian Armstrong from Australia, the female director is not particularly famous for the film, only two nominations for the Berlin Golden Bear, the shooting method is not as bold as the script, it is decent.
But the casting is the highest value in several versions, and the lineup is the most powerful-
Christian Bell (later "Batman" and his fat and free legend) plays the male protagonist Laurie; Susan Sarandon (feminist film masterpiece "The End of the Road") plays his mother Mrs. March; Claire Denise (with Little Plum's "Romeo and Juliet's Postmodern Passion") plays the third daughter Bass; Kerstin Dunster (who auditioned at the age of 12 to beat Natalie Portman, and later the girlfriend of the first version of Spider-Man), and so on ....
Naturally, the most famous is the heroine Joe played by Winona Ryder, who was 23 years old at the time, and she was also a popular fried chicken who frequently cooperated with many famous directors, and was a female first in Tim Burton's "Edward Scissorhands", Coppola's "Four Hundred Years of Thrilling Love", Martin Scorsese's "Age of Innocence" and other films.
In this film, she was not pitted by the director's script, and was nominated for the 67th Academy Award for Best Actress for her sincere interpretation of Joe.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > 2019 edition</h1>
After more than 20 years, the latest version of "Little Women" is here again! Its rating is also the highest of all the adaptations, which is undoubtedly due to the entire creative team and all the actors.
Greta Gerweger from the United States, this is her third work, 17 years of "Miss Bird" made her famous, becoming the fifth female director in the history of film to be nominated for the Oscar for best director, for "Little Women" such a work that emphasizes female consciousness, she is also the most suitable to direct.
And Silsa Ronan, who worked with the director in "Miss Bird", this is also the second collaboration between the two, and the chemistry between the two is also magical, and both works have made the two win awards and nominations.
Ronan, who is only 26 years old this year, not only has a good appearance, but her acting skills have been shown since she participated in "Atonement" and "Lovely Bones", when she was only fourteen or fifteen years old. In this work, she presents her unique sense of agility and crushing layering in a group of plump female portraits.
Other actors include Emma Watson (Hermione in the Harry Potter series) as the eldest daughter Megan, Timothy Challemet (Sweet Tea in "Call Me By Your Name"), Mrs. March played by Laura Dunn (the best supporting actress at this Oscar), Aunt March played by Meryl Streep (the old drama Aunt May, who is familiar to fans), and so on.
After saying these four versions, turn around and look back at the latest version that has undergone the withdrawal of files because of the epidemic, this time it is quite skillfully adapted, and the non-linear cross-editing breaks the traditional flowing narrative, so that the audience will follow the rhythm of the film and unconsciously feel that the years are quiet and lost.
Although it is also to fit the mainstream values of Hollywood feminism, the long-standing themes of independence and growth also make this classic "classical literature" a modern footnote.
Will you go to the theater when "Little Women" is released after the epidemic is over? Believe this cat, this latest version of 19 years will not disappoint you, there is your long-lost "love and freedom", there are them who ride the wind and waves.
Finally, a small mouthful of poverty -
Sweet Tea and Bell's version of Laurie, which one do you like? Cat still has more feelings for Batman, but also silently agrees that the future of sweet tea can be expected, becoming the leader of the new generation of male actors is sooner or later, of course, and our lovely Dutch brother...
