[Little Women (2019)]

[tabaqui]

No one has ever gotten Amy right, and it's always a disappointment. No one has ever made Beth seem to decline and become thin and pale like she is in the books, either. Megs have been...okay, sorta, Jos have mostly been eh, Lauries....more eh.

Don't get me started on Mrs. March ranting about corsets to A MAN in the Wynona Ryder LW - are you MAD???

The flash back/forwards were a little annoying, yes, though I liked that we got more about Amy/with Amy, particularly her art and her desire to marry 'well'.

Any film of a book with a budget like that needs to have the actors DYE THEIR HAIR to match their literary counterparts, or wear a good wig. Come on.

[(Anonymous)]

Why?

[(Anonymous)]

because they're portraying a particular character and it's an incredibly low effort way to integrate the source material, would be my guess

[(Anonymous)]

but it's not an aspect of the source material that people necessarily care about

[(Anonymous)]

Just seems a really weird point when racebending is common in adaptations now. Hair color is essential but skin color isn't?

[(Anonymous)]

Given we’re talking about Little Women, which takes place during the American Civil War, I am reasonably sure that racebending would change enough of the story to not be the type of adaptation AYRT is talking about. Or do you spend a lot of time complaining about the lack of Italians in West Side Story, too?

[(Anonymous)]

Firstly, I'm not complaining as you can see by the complete lack of complaint in my actual comment.

Secondly, pretty much everything is changed contextually by racebending yet I've seen it defended on here as having zero impact. Most obviously, Anne Boleyn being cast black.

Yet the commenter has a big issue with hair color that makes zero difference?

It's a weird weird line. Beth being a redhead changes nothing.

[(Anonymous)]

Eh, I liked it.

[(Anonymous)]

Florence is an amazing actor and she killed it as adult Amy but I couldn't buy her as a child either. The scene where she burns Jo's novel comes off sociopathic instead of childish and impulsive when you can clearly see it's grown woman doing it and the camera zooms into her gleeful expression. Then later in a crying scene I had flashes of the Simple Jack performance from Tropic Thunder... Just bad.

[(Anonymous)]

I feel yah; my biggest problem was the accents. OMG could nobody make an even half-assed effort to make those girls sound like they grew up together rather than strewn across the globe?

[(Anonymous)]

I am still hoping and waiting for the definitive adaptation of this (and one that does good service to all of the actual characters, rather than being secretly titled "Louisa Jo and some girls she's related to").
