This is a film that has won 27 awards and 140 nominations, has a high rating of 9+ on douban, IMDB and other websites, and is also one of the must-see films of 2019 by former US President Barack Obama in the United States - the 2019 hit "Little Women".
The film is adapted from the world-famous book "Little Women", and the author of the book, Louisa May Olcott, in this autobiographical novel, depicts the growth journey of four sisters in an ordinary family during the American Civil War.
Mr. March participated in the American Civil War, and Mrs. March raised four daughters alone: the eldest daughter, Meg, 16, with long jet-black hair flowing like a waterfall, the second daughter Joe, who was 15 years old and loved to write, and had flying blonde hair, and the third daughter, Beth, often wore a blue dress with beautiful curly hair, and the younger daughter, Amy, a green dress and two small braids were her standard.
The film is dominated by female characters, and each woman has her own strong sense of personal consciousness and unique personality characteristics. When we watch a movie, we actually witness the life course of these ordinary and not mediocre women, who belong to the insignificant dust of the universe, but in the world's experience, they shine.
In my opinion, the film can get lasting praise, not only because it has created a few female guns with distinct personalities, but more importantly, it presents a real woman, occasionally longing for vanity, but also able to settle down with the encounter, sometimes stingy and narrow, but can be sincere, going around, and what remains unchanged is the inner goodness.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" > Meg</h1>
Compared with her sisters, As the eldest sister, Meg is definitely gentle and virtuous, but what is precious is that she is not a sister who is at the mercy of the hand and sacrifices silently, and she is so brave and strong in the face of love.
As mentioned earlier, no one in the film is a labeled flat image, and Meg, like every ordinary girl, will also have vanity, but her vanity is straight and cute. She would generously admit that she longed for luxury, repeatedly comparing which of the two tattered long skirts was more beautiful; after being invited to the party, she loved the beautiful and sensitive and told her sister to pay attention to the image etiquette, preferring to step on the high heels of the grinding feet and dance with a smile; when attending the party of the rich Anne's house, even if the borrowed skirt hurt her ribs, she still wanted to wear a beautiful dress as a princess.
She is the shadow of each of us, and the vanity in her heart occasionally works, even though she understands that the so-called flamboyance is nothing more than a deception and a fool, and wants to be a princess before twelve o'clock. Mind the impoverished family situation, self-esteem hurt by the gossip of friends, shame and disgust for not being good enough. Isn't that who we are?
However, the beauty of Meg is that she is sober. After tasting the glitz and socializing, she learned to treat praise and self-recognition reasonably, understood that the ordinary and warm home is the best destination, such a girl who once frankly admitted that she longed for luxury, after seeing the floating world, she understood that the truth and falsehood of high society are not suitable for herself, and finally bravely chose a poor life in order to pursue true love. Despite the difficulties of married life, she still realized that "poverty is not a bad thing" because poverty gives her husbands the courage to start a career, thus making their lives more meaningful.
Why is Meg's growth not a process of our personality shaping? She embodies the emotional self-improvement of women and deeply impresses us.
< h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" > Joe</h1>
Joe is the core protagonist of the movie, everyone likes the gentle Meg, the kind Bass, and the envy of Amy who can be wayward, but in fact, we prefer to live like Joe - strong, optimistic and self-reliant women.
When his father was seriously ill, Joe cut off his thick long hair in exchange for twenty-five dollars to visit his mother, pretending to be indifferent in front of the people, and only biting the pillow in the middle of the night to sob for his hair. She tried to save money, wanted to buy things for the family, and wanted to take the seriously ill Beth out to relax. She loves writing, which on the one hand brings her joy, and on the other hand, writing is a way for her to remain self-reliant, allowing her to "provide herself with everything she needs without asking for a penny from others." "She works so hard because she doesn't want to be a vassal of men, at least financially, she can support herself."
Although she is the second daughter, she plays the role of the eldest sister. At the age of 15, she both writes and works as a tutor for others, as well as as her own sister's teacher, and has always been optimistic and insists on taking her little sister through a long road. When she grew up, she always thought about the happiness of her sisters' marriage, so that she became the one who was left behind.
When rich Terrese proposed to her, such a seemingly heavenly marriage, she refused, because she had always known what she wanted, it was not to marry a handsome man, enjoy the life of a noblewoman, abandon the ideal, even if the object is a close friend of the young plum bamboo horse, the prospect is the place she dreamed of going, it is not OK, it really can't work.
Why do we have a greater sense of substitution for Joe? Maybe it's because we've all been like her with a lot of uneasiness and admiration for adventure, expecting ourselves to be as passionate as she is, always in the adventure of the journey, not wanting to see her return to mediocrity, but always young, always with a distant heart, always full of tears.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" > beth</h1>
Beth in the corner, Beth in the blue dress, playing a good piano Beth, the film's Beth is quiet like no desire, but also a guardian, guarding the beauty of the sisters, she silently made herself a beacon, telling the sisters: Don't forget to go home, don't forget the good memories.
Everyone loves Beth because she is weak and tough, contented and introverted, and when the other sisters yearn for a luxurious life, she does not humblely emphasize that "we have parents and sisters", not only content with herself, but also often reminding the three adolescent sisters of contentment.
She loves her family obsessively, guards her home, and cherishes them even more because of the dilapidation of the dolls abandoned by her sisters; she is a co-stopr of family strife, never asking for anything for herself, and whenever her heart is heavy, she just buries herself in her old clothes and sobs, and then reinvigorates herself and continues to be a force to support others. The creation of the novel, it is also after Beth's death, Joe found out that she collected bits and pieces of their past while sorting things out, and finally decided to write the life experience of the four sisters into a novel.
The film is tragic, because the kind and delicate Beth died in the most beautiful flower season, and the scene before her death was particularly touching, and she said to Joe, who rushed back: "Why do you all like to leave?" I don't like to leave, I wish I had been at home. Yes, everyone has their own dream of the "castle in the sky", and Beth only hopes to stay at home safely with her parents, but this simple wish is also disappointed. At the last moment of life, Beth is still sparkling, she said: "I am not afraid of death, life is like the tide of the tide, the tide can not be stopped" Such bravery and tranquility, to the screen in front of us left a deep thinking.
This is a soft and persistent girl, and even if she leaves, her soul will continue to serve as a beacon, guiding her family in the direction of home.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" > Amy</h1>
Everyone understands Meg, pities Beth, loves Joe, but resists Amy. Because Meg is the considerate caregiver, Joe is the honest fighter, Beth is the delicate devotee, and Amy is the indulgent taker.
As the youngest daughter, she willfully has no boundaries, "Amy is almost spoiled by everyone, and her vanity and selfishness have grown proportionally." "Says so in the original book. She is vanity-effacing, often using unfamiliar foreign languages to show her decency; she throws Joe's hard-earned manuscripts into the fireplace and burns them because she can't go to the theater; when Beth suffers from scarlet fever, her sisters are busy and exhausted, but she is still haggling over moving...
Amy was shrewd again, she had never had Meg's trepidation, Beth's illness, Joe's embarrassment, and she knew exactly what she wanted from beginning to end. She is not ashamed of poverty, and uses her wisdom and advantages to conquer others - she transforms herself without shoes with dresses, embellishes herself with flowers without expensive jewelry, and uses cheap small objects to enlarge her youthful beauty to conquer others, winning her life opportunities again and again.
Yes, Amy does have a lot of deficiencies, but she also has the advantages that her sisters don't have – always knowing what she wants. After going to Europe to admire the works of her masters, she understood that she could not realize her dream of "artist" as a genius, and turned to charity to realize her self-worth in another way.
Maybe we can't like Amy, but we can't question Amy either. If the sisters are representatives of sensibility, she is the embodiment of reason.
These girls with different personalities have stepped out of their own, achieved an immortal work, and created a wonderful movie, in fact, we can glimpse the different personalities of girls from the beginning of the film. As Christmas approaches, the girls sit in the house considering Christmas presents.
"How can Christmas be without gifts?" Joe grunted as he lay on the little carpet.
"Poverty is terrible!" Meg let out a sigh and looked down at the old clothes on her body.
"Some girls have glory and wealth, and some have nothing, and I don't think it's fair." Amy snorted softly, three out of contempt and seven out of jealousy.
"But we have parents and sisters," Protester protested Beth, who was sitting in a corner.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-center-line" > real female embodiment</h1>
Yes, girls have their own ideas, and we can glimpse the vivid images of girls from time to time.
Dignified and beautiful longing for a good Meg.
Joe, who seems rebellious but has an opinion,
Introverted and careful and kind Beth,
Lively and cheerful, shrewd and ambitious Amy.
These four very different sisters, after experiencing the upheavals of war, family and love during the Civil War, can still have the courage to open up their own lives under mutual understanding and support. For them, growth may be to try to live with ideas and souls, to become the proudest of themselves, for us, why not?
