i watch this at minimum 5 times a day, but usually more like 10, THANK YOU for creating this. idc if it makes me sob, it's just so beautiful and well done!

Why do you need to show example? Why do you care? But a woman is also capable to love and do other things, at the same time. Any sensible person would think this way - and the others? Why waste your life on those people? Or is it that you're afraid to love and this is a great profound way to rationalise you not doing so? Been there, done that.
2:58 "you'll find a lovely and accomplished girl who will love you and adore you and-" " hold your hand while dancing never leave you standing" so clever
"i figured you'd love me Jo" Laurie literally did everything so that Jo would fall for him and I think he ended up believing that she already did. But Jo never even considered it, she was far too in love with her writing. A friendship, to Jo, was far more beautiful than a romance if written correctly.

@@missamericana3230 lol if u dont know champagne problems is about a rejected proposal by a guy and at the end of the song he found another girl who did not reject him. if this is not Jo and Laurie's song idk what is 💀
just a reminder that in the book jo never wrote that letter. jo never regretted her decision, but she wished that she was able to be in love with him. jo was lonely, but her and laurie weren’t meant to end up together.
exactly! Ive read the book when I was younger and I was happy to have read a woman like Jo in the book and her perception of love towards others that she just cannot reciprocate, and how that's okay too. For a woman should never be reduced to the role of taking in love alone in her life, she has dreams and aspirations too that she can choose over love, until of course she is ready. I loved the movie brilliantly well, though🧡
I think it’s really great that they thematize that situation. I was in it and it is really hard to not just give in because you want the other one to be happy so badly. But you just know that it is wrong because you can’t love them back the way they want you to. Joe did the right thing.
@@paigehennigar6557 No, she is NOT a lesbian. Jo eventually had two sons with an older gentleman Professor named Fritz Bhaer. Read books 1 and 2 of Little Women.
i remembered reading a story in wattpad and the main character said "i dont want to say no because one day i'll realise that i should've said yes and i'll return to you and you dont love me anymore"
I just got so related with the scene where Joe burst into tears when telling her mother she was so lonely and how bad she wished she had said yes to him. Loneliness can eat us alive and render us rush into worst choices.
"listen, you'll find some lovely accomplished girl who will love you and adore you and.. hold your hand while dancing, never leave you standing, crestfallen on the landing.." this part hurt me and am i still coming back to watch this video? yes
This song is for the team of girls who cannot love back people they care for, because they somehow are too emotional to let themselves be in actual love. We don't wanna be hurt, we don't want to hurt people, but happiness seems... too much? I need theraphy... Also, it's okay to feel like that. Our magnitude adds up every single time we think those things. It's okay to have made mistakes... It's okay to have said "no" towards love, bc love is going to find its way back to us somehow 💛
She didn't love Laurie. She was just afraid of being left alone once all her sisters get married (well beth died so except for her 😢). She didn't want anything except that her family stays together and she has her best friend in her life forever. But people around her grow and change and she had a sudden realisation and thats why she got confused and wrote Laurie that letter. I feel like the scene where Laurie tells her, he married Amy, she's more sad about the fact that now they won't be with her like in the past. At the end, she's happy alone because she has accepted this part of her and she's surrounded by her loved ones.
@@feliciapattinson9591 - I don't think she married or even loved bhaer. She just changed the ending because the editor guy forced her to change it. I think she remained single because she could never even think about marrying someone.
I shipped Jo and Laurie as a kid and I still do but I don't want them to end up together because Jo obviously doesn't love him back. That would just be cheap. But of course I come to videos like this to satisfy that inner childish longing to see them together.
omg that is EXACTLY how i feel about them i was thinking about it while watching it . i love them together but just.... they r not meant to be . she doesnt love him and he wants *lady* she said that she said she couldnt be that. but they r just lovely
When Jo writes her love letter to Laurie she says “My dear teddy, I miss you more than I can express. I used to think that the worst fate was to be a wife, I was young and stupid. But now I have changed. The worst fate is to live my life without you in it.” I think Jo finds it hard to express her feelings without going against her believes/ideas about what women should and shouldn’t be in the world. Like when Jo tells her sister Meg that she doesn’t need to get married to John and that she will get bored after 2 years. Later on Jo telling her mum that she is sick of women having their only purpose of to love. Jo realised that women are more than that. To all the people saying Jo felt ‘lonely’ and needed to fill a void that’s why she confesses to Laurie her love that was not the reason. When Jo left to go to New York she left her sisters behind. And when her sister Beth got sick she came back in a heart beat. Stopping everything that she was doing her dreams and ambition for her sister. When her sister Amy burned her papers Jo got angry at Amy and even said she will never ever forgive her and then when her sister nearly drowned she went back to talking to her in a heart beat realising that her sister was more important. Similarly as soon as she rejects Laurie she kept writing to him but he was the one that was not answering to her letters. Jo truly did care for him. She just didn’t have herself figured out yet. Jo thought a women cannot marry and pursue her dreams at the same time in the end she realises she can when she marries the professor. She realises this before however and wanted to tell Laurie by confessing to him through the letter but it was to late. Jo wanted it to be Laurie that she marries. Jo even admitted to her mum that when she gets angry her anger can blind her. Like when she rejected Laurie because of her anger blinding her to thinking women should be independent and never married, but she doesn’t realise women can be both. Jo is a strong willed character who refuses to back down but then she does on all of these occasions she does it for the people that she loves. She did that when she rejected Laurie. She was angry because she had dreams she wanted to pursue and marriage was not on her radar back then. However after loosing her sister for good this time she realises the mistake she made rejecting Laurie. She realises death is her worse enemy and it can come in the way of things even when she thinks she is in control. She steers the wheel of her life, she is independent, unmarried, in New York writing doing everything she ever wanted but death still has a way of ruining things. When she comes to this realisation she cannot bear to loose Laurie in the same way without telling him how she truly feels. Because Jo finally realises that the love she holds for him is greater than whatever it is she wanted to do as a single women.
I think the most selfless decision that Jo made was rejecting Laurie when she knew she couldn't love him in that way. I think it was scary face the truth, but she did the right thing letting him go in order to find what they truly wanted and deserved (even if that meant growing apart)
"listen, you'll find some lovely, accomplished girl who will love you and adore you and...hold you hand while dancing, never leave you standing, crestfallen on the landing" SOBBING
*Here's my perspective of them:* I think Jo never loved Laurie. They were friends, he loved her, she didn't. Jo always said she didn't wanted to be a wife but I think it's cuz she was scared and insecure about it. As she grows she starts to think no one will ever love her and she truly will never be a wife and then decides to write the letter to Laurie, cuz at least he loves her right? But she don't love him, not that way. She was just scared of being alone forever. Amy and Laurie are a lovely couple. And I totally don't blame Jo for feeling that way, I do too sometimes.
AGREE 100%! This has always been my interpretation of the story. She never loved Laurie in a romantic way but she figured that being with someone she cared and loved like family would be better than being alone and it’s so understandable but I’m glad they didn’t end up together, they would have not been happy along the road
@@cateyesinlove2473 Yes!!!! They could have been a happy couple at first but by the minute they release how they truly felt it would be a tragic experience.
Okay but I can’t be the only one who doesn’t see the chemistry with Laurie and Amy, like I know at the end of the day Jo and Laurie were not meant to be but Amy??? Like it’s just not it for me.
Did anyone else notice that when the songs says “Dom Pérignon, you brought it” he’s looking at the ring that she gave him and he’s putting it on his wedding ring finger and looking at it like imma marry this girl, then remember what really happened in the movie and your heart broke all over again. Just me? ok😭
i do genuinely think laurie and amy are great together but a part of me can't help but wish jo and laurie ended up together even though it makes sense that they didn't. i think the tragedy is in the fact that jo was never able to love laurie that way and is an important aspect of relationships that often doesn't get represented. i think what jo and laurie had was very special regardless of whether it was romantic and platonic. I think the part that breaks me is that they're no longer number one in eachother's hearts more than anything but truly a beautiful yet heartbreaking story
little women's settings and filter is like..absolutely perfect for folklore and evermore. i will never be able to get over this but i will also thank you for making art 😭
My take on Jo and Laurie is: Jo had big dreams to be a writer which was something she’s really talented at. Back then women were expected to marry rich or marry. Not necessarily for love just to have kids and help cook and clean ect. Jo thought that if she had married anyone that’s the path she would have went down so her whole life she pushed away men because she didn’t want that life. She pushed away her feelings for Laurie so when he seemly out of no where proposed she was flustered and acted out of the mindset of not wanting to be just a women who cooks and cleans. Then soon realized she loved him. In my opinion they are the definition of right person wrong time. edit: I feel as though she never viewed herself good enough for Laurie and also let that get in the way.
Lyrics You booked the night train for a reason So you could sit there in this hurt Bustling crowds or silent sleepers You're not sure which is worse Because I dropped your hand while dancing Left you out there standing Crestfallen on the landing Champagne problems Your mom's ring in your pocket My picture in your wallet Your heart was glass, I dropped it Champagne problems You told your family for a reason You couldn't keep it in Your sister splashed out on the bottle Now no one's celebrating Dom Pérignon, you brought it No crowd of friends applauded Your hometown skeptics called it Champagne problems You had a speech, you're speechless Love slipped beyond your reaches And I couldn't give a reason Champagne problems Your Midas touch on the Chevy door November flush and your flannel cure "This dorm was once a madhouse" I made a joke, "Well, it's made for me" How evergreen, our group of friends Don't think we'll say that word again And soon they'll have the nerve to deck the halls That we once walked through One for the money, two for the show I never was ready, so I watch you go Sometimes you just don't know the answer 'Til someone's on their knees and asks you "She would've made such a lovely bride What a shame she's fucked in her head, " they said But you'll find the real thing instead She'll patch up your tapestry that I shred And hold your hand while dancing Never leave you standing Crestfallen on the landing With champagne problems Your mom's ring in your pocket Her picture in your wallet You won't remember all my Champagne problems You won't remember all my Champagne problems
Thats why the end in the movie is so brilliant. Greta Gerwig really understands the thoughts of the author, so she decided to let jo single at the end unlike the other movie adaptions. The "cheesy umbrella scene" never happened but jo writed what the readers wanted to read just like what happened with the the real author. Just brilliant
@@sophiacomiso6392 its implied that that didnt actually happen. Jo marrying Fredrich is what happened in the book because she was asked to change the ending by the publisher. The publisher says 'who does she marry?' and Jo says 'No one', then he says she has to change that, and it cuts to the umbrella scene with the publisher narrating over it saying 'yeah i prefer this, its more romantic'.
I've read the book when I was little and I was fine that Joe didn't end up with Laurie. but the 2019 version when Saoirse and Timothee played Joe and Laurie, their chemistry is one of a kind. they made the conflict alive and for once I wished them to be together. I cried hard in this 1:50 scene. champagne problems really describes these two💔
This made me cry so much 🥺 there’s no one to blame she wasn’t ready and he did all he can to be the perfect man for her and he got tired of waiting and that’s what makes it sad there’s no one to blame. And I think Mary is so messed up for getting with him knowing that her sister would not be happy with her, she said “I thought you would be angry with me” like duh you married the man she loves. Life is unfair 💔
@@emma.caylie Nope. as much as I love Jo and Laurie together, she just didn't love him the way he did. The only reason why she even said "I might say yes" when Laurie might ask her again was because she didn't want to feel vulnerable and lonely. She liked him yes, but only as her friend.
I honestly think that Laurie wasn’t in love with Jo, he was in love with the IDEA of being in love with Jo- like childhood best friends to lovers. Jo never loved Laurie either, the only time she wanted him or made a move was because she was lonely and Beth had just died.
the fact that i always thought that laurie was in love with the idea of love, his parents had just died and spent so many years in different boarding schools and jo was the first friend he ever had, that's why he clinged to her too much, it was too immature to be true at all
@@Milizxe aw hon dont doubt it, just ask yourself if you love them romantically truly and fully for who they are, not in love with the IDEA of being with them. but if you love them and just want them and you dont care about the idea, just let it play out boo and im sure you'll be happy! tell them!!
"I think you'll marry. You'll find someone and love them. You will live and die for them. That's your way, and you will... And I'll watch." funny how Laurie said this, but Jo ended up doing so.😭💔
2:54 When the dialogue “you’ll find sm who loves u and adores u and …” transitions into the song’s lyrics “hold ur hand while dancing …” toward the end 🥺❤️🩹 beautiful
timothee chalamet portrayed Laurie so well. he captured the flamboyant tendencies that Laurie has but also the sweet, caring side that he had as well and i loved every second of it
The scene where Laurie confesses to Jo is just so heartbreaking...it made me cry and cry and my little sister(who was 10 at the time) just couldnt understand why I was crying when I watched it- I could feel all his pain and anguish.Thank you for this sad yet beautiful video.
And in the movie I think she may have found it difficult maybe to admit to her mum that she is in love with him, perhaps because she was shy. Besides she never says she doesn’t love him she says “I care more to be loved.” She shows her love through her actions she doesn’t need to say the words. In other words she loves differently. She’s not one to be lovely dovey like her sisters she has a different love language. Hers isn’t like Meg or Amy’s, jo shows her love differently through acts of service. She didn’t want to be with Laurie because she was lonely she kept in contact with him even after rejecting his proposal it wasn’t at beths death that she realised she wanted to be with him because she was lonely. She has always wanted to be with him but just that she didn’t have herself figured out yet. He loved her to early she loved him to late. Besides Laurie does push her to be her best self. In different ways. He doesn’t need to critic/challenge her to push her to be the best possible version of herself. Sometimes all it takes is just support being there for the person. Being part of their dreams and ambitions and passions. He did that, he did all of that. Laurie fell in love with Amy’s beauty. Constantly calling her beautiful and admiring only that about her. That’s even what he notices about her when he speaks to her. He tells her “You look beautiful, you are beautiful.” Whereas with jo he has loved her ever since he met her. Watching her live out her passion for acting and supporting her by being part of her play. Watching her fall in love with writing and even him inviting her to the theatre to watch a play because he knows that’s what she lives for and loves. Laurie fell in love with jo for her soul and everything she is. So for the people saying that laurie would never have supported jo in the way the professor does in her passions that is so false. What Laurie and jo had was ethereal. Jo yearned for Laurie before her sister Beth dies. In the movie when she comes back from New York she tells her sister that she kept writing to him but he won’t answer to her letters. And Beth asks her do you miss him. And jo says “i miss everything” she misses the love he showed her and what they had. It wasn’t loneliness that prompted Jo to want to be with Laurie because she says all of this before her sister dies. Jo loved Laurie way before she even realised
my heart is broken. I know there are perspectives of people saying that Jo never loved Laurie but love is not black or white. Falling in love is something we have been fed for so long but that isn't always how love works in real life. Sometimes one isn't ready and sometimes one gets into it a lil too quickly. Jo wasn't ready when Teddy proposed first, but I KNOWWW deep in my heart that if given the chance, they would have been the greatest couple of all times UGH
@@Moonchild-sb3fz not to make you feel worse, but Jo definitely doesn’t love Laurie in the romantic way, AND TRUST ME I WISHED THAT Jo would love teddy and they could be together, but after a lot of thought(and crying over it) its clear that they wouldn’t work. AND they wouldn’t work not because of what other people have said like that jo and Laurie are too childish for each other, they wouldn’t work because Jo simply doesn’t have romantic feelings, otherwise jo and Laurie would have been perfect. But you and this comment we are under are right, that teddy would 100% come running to jo in a heartbeat, but Jo simply wouldn’t feel the same way☹️. Also, something that bothers me a lot is that people say that just cuz jo and Laurie weren’t right, they say that amy and Laurie were, but they clearly aren’t. Laurie doesn’t love amy ( the exact same way that jo feels for teddy) laurie is just settling for amy the way that jo would’ve been settling for teddy. So inclusion the only right ending should have been that all three go their separate ways
@@wack.valerie5975 But really though? I just think that Jo wasn't ready to face her feelings and her fears of succumbing to the Societal norms and 'never being remembered' so getting married was not in her radars when Laurie proposed. But she continued writing to him and only when Beth died did she realize that she cannot control everything about life, not even her feelings. it was a case of feelings vs her strong willed beliefs. And even though it came from a place of loneliness, she finally figured that she had indeed made a mistake by rejecting him. saying she never loved him would be wrong bc hear me out, in a sick, twisted way, she wouldn't have let him go like that in that attic if wasn't pure love. It was a tragic case of right people, wrong timing. It is just my opinion tho. I also agree with the amy part. He really did settle. And marrying her sister was idk wrong.
I feel like I come back to this multiple times per week. This song is so beautifully tragic and hopeful and goes so well with this movie. Editor who made this did a fantastic job 👏
June Allyson and Peter Lawford in 1949 was wonderful and they will be always in my heart Wynona Rider and Christian Bale in 1994 were wonderful and I think they are two great actors But... Saoirse and Timothé have taken a place in my heart and I can't let them get away... The scene in which Jo rejects Laurie break my heart but their acting is new for these characters... they scream, they touch themselves... modern... very modern adaptation act...
I read Little Women books 1 and 2: Jo eventually married a considerably older gentleman who is a German Professor named Professor Friedrich ‘Fritz’ Bhaer, and Jo and him had two kids. I also read Little Men, a continuation of the March sisters’ married lives with their children. In Jo’s eyes Laurie is still a young boy, while Professor Bhaer is the mature man Jo truly respected, admired and love.
he’s such an amazing actor, they all are but can we all just appreciate him real quick? he delivered the character so well, he looked so in love and then so hurt. someday i’ll be that good(hopefully lmao)
this was the first couple i really shipped (save dramione) that didn't end up together. this video really hurt and i know they say she never loved him, but it still hurts because i think she did.
