As they star opposite one another in Little Women, Pugh and Chalamet talk to us about about one of literature's most famous love triangles: www.harpersbazaar.com/uk/cult...
One of the best bits of this films promotion was Jo’s speech to her mother in the attic about women and love - and then when she adds on “but I’m so lonely” in the movie. Was spectacular. Nobody saw it coming
Alexis Lucas Power makes you more likely to be bad, privilege makes your life better and much easier to be nice and understanding. I’d point to any disgruntled fast food worker and homeless person to make my case.
I loved the portrayal of Amy and Laurie’s relationship in this movie specifically, painted their relationship so well - how Laurie fell in love with Amy without knowing she ever loved him. He fell in love with her independence, her willingness to not only do what’s right, but what’s smartest and best for all parties involved. She has a way of being selfish with integrity and confidence. She’s elegant, kind, well mannered, funny, intelligent and never lowers her standards. She doesn’t settle and never allows herself too. I think Amy has all the qualities Laurie lacked! Jo wouldn’t make Laurie a better man, Amy did without even trying!
@@xxcris20xx she is!!!! she so is!!! even the girl who played beth stole the screen. so amazing. and of course sersh, laura and timmy kill it every time they act.
@wolf town I was one of those women, but after rereading the book as an adult (I read it at least 50 times as a kid), I realized Amy and Laurie were the better match. Jo and Laurie were too much alike, but Amy and Laurie were different and showed each other different things etc.
He really does....as an outstanding actor and as a beautiful person. But he is young, naive and guarded when it comes to love and life. Has he ever really allowed himself to love anyone? I don't think so. So we can only joke and pray that when he finds who he deems to be his wife.....that she is mature, loving, intelligent and that she does not break his heart.
I think anyone who ships Jo and Laurie sees their surface-level connection. Of course they seem like soulmates because of their close bond, but they are basically siblings. They were so similar that their relationship flourished non-romantically so as Jo said, they would never had worked out as their similar personalities are better suited as friends
Katherine Godby honestly, after seeing the movie I thought that they had a sibling dynamic. I was never sure if they had a romantic connection until Laurie confessed because their friendship was seemed so natural.
i agree 100% that’s why when laurie says to jo “i’ve always loved you but the way i love amy, it’s different” he means that he had a crush on jo and their friendship meant a lot to him and it couldn’t have gotten further than that because they were simply too alike, amy taught him how to be strong and mature, he could’ve never learned from jo because jo was still learning herself, how amy had to teach herself and she passed it on to laurie which is why they are MY SHIP.
I resonate so much with Florence’s portrayal as Amy. Growing up as the younger sibling, I used to always struggle to exceed out of my brother’s shadow. After watching this movie I realized that Amy did the same. That is why she was so torn about marrying Laurie: because to some people, she would only be getting him because of Jo’s rejection. However, after she discovered herself as a painter and matured in Europe you not only see her grow out of Jo’s shadow, but you see her shape a new shadow of her own. And she realizes that it’s of no importance what people think about her and Laurie’s love, he truly cares for her and she cares for him.
Ann Cheng He made it evident on several occasions throughout the movie that he wasn’t in love with Jo anymore. Why would he attempt to only get closer to Jo when he has no romantic attachment to her. Furthermore, Jo and Laurie are both chaotic and rebellious in nature. That is why, even Jo, doesn’t believe their relationship would work. It would just end in them fighting all the time. Amy is weight that keeps Laurie grounded in a positive way. She keeps him realistic and in return he keeps her on her toes.
Totally agree to what pugh said- she gives him something more, she desires to be with him. She has loved him forever, something that jo could never give him. So matter how much it broke my heart that jo and laurie didn't get together, i agree that laurie deserved better than to be the one jo settled for just because she wanted to be loved
It's unreal coz just the other day I understood after seeing a certain clip from the movie that Amy had have always loved Laurie, right from the first "hi I'm Amy" to her standing outside Lawrence window in the snow and Laurie spotting a girl and formally introducing for the first time... I think it was all somehow in their destiny, Amy was to finally be with the Lawrence boy who brought her injured Eldest sister home and Laurie was to be with the girl who was crying outside his window in the snow.
@@valentinahigueras4630 I think it depends on how she's dressed too lol. Like in "Fighting with my family" she really looks like a teenager. And in some parts of "Little women" she looks older, but then in other parts she looks younger haha.
I wish Florence could get the same level of applause and attention and everything as Saoirse omfg it came out so weird like out of the movie but I think she is just SUCH A GREAT ACTRESS I can’t omg the way she perpetrated Amy the way she spoke for every woman (especially the ones like me who always put themselves down when it comes to other half/love) like I lost count of how many times I watched all the Laurie and Any moments . She’s such a badass!!!
As a young girl, I adored Winnona Rider’s version. This version is quite a perfect adaptation with a great generation of actors. All the women are fantastic. Christian Bale will always be my Laurie, yet I can see the similarities between him and Timothée Chalamet. That kid is a great actor too.
I havent rewatched the 90s version in a while but I love the way in this one Jo's behavior towards Laurie is so playful and friendly and almost like every instance where he leans into her or wants to make something more intimate she punches or physically pushes him away laughing. It makes their dynamic and how they both want different things so clear throughout without any dialogue.
Timothee puts on a pretty convincing English accent for an American. He did well when he played King Henry V in The King where he also was able to speak French. Superb acting.
@@strawbself regardless of whether or not you speak the language, spelling someone's name correctly (if you use the same alphabet, which French does) is a sign of respect and civility. I don't think the reply was that respectful, but the placement of the accent does matter, just as it would matter if someone mispronounced your name or switched two of the letters while spelling it.
great gerwig's adaptation really helped me to appreciate laurie and amy's relationship. I feel like earlier adaptations have made the mistake of making it seem as if laurie settled by choosing to be with amy after being rejected by jo, and i carried that opinion for a long time. but in this movie you can really see the ways that amy and laurie compliment each other. love doesn't always have to be an intense soul connection like what laurie and jo had. sometimes love is looking up at someone and realizing for the first time how truly comfortable you are with them and how much they compliment you. laurie and amy's relationship captures that dynamic perfectly.
Fantastic interview. I like that it’s just them having a conversation and they just let them talk. ❤️ I can’t wait to see Amy and Laurie’s relationship finally done right on screen!
I love his look in this interview, it suits him well. He seems the most comfortable in this kind of edgy/ punk/ artsy style (imo). But he also looks amazing in pretty much anything!
I think the people who shipped Jo and Laurie often romanticize the idea of twin flames--two people with an immediate connection that feel such intense passion for one another. But that passion translates in a negative way as well. Timothee is correct in saying they may have connected intensely, but it would have never been good for them, and the relationship Amy and Laurie have is much healthier and lifelong. I think that in our youth, many crave a passionate love. Because that's how we interpret love at this stage in life. But I think a true love is one that's reliable, that builds each other into better people, that learns and grows. Jo and Laurie would have never had that.
Saoirse's scene in the attic with her mother where she said she was sick of the idea that love was all a woman was fit for but she was also so lonely singlehandedly made me cry. Such a powerful scene and such perfect, heartfelt delivery. Saoirse is a gem.
These famous people are not only so beautiful, talented, educated, and humble. So glad to be alive in this generation where a lot of celebs are wholesome.
One of my favorite films this year. Moving and beautiful. Greta gives this version a warmth that I did not pick up in other versions. I loved how everyone was just trying to be good and do the right thing. Something we've really lost.
I LOVED the 90’s edition of this film, I grew up on it, I fell in love with Christian Bale.. and I was SO excited for this version - I love the actors, and the director. And I didn’t know I could love a film so much. Greta did such a wonderful wonderful job with this one! Best film of the year! I love it so much more than the 90’s version now! Wow! I never knew I could love a movie so much. And it was one of the best cinema experiences I’ve ever had! The entire theater was quiet the whole time except for laughs and snickers and joyous moments! This film captivated the audience... so good
Florence Pugh absolutely murdered the role of Amy. She made history and completely portrayed her in a different way, which is fantastic. I’m happy she’s getting more recognition she deserves, after introduction to Marvel. She truly is a great actress I hope to see her in more things.
I loved the part where Jo said “I don’t see why I can’t love you because you want me to. I don’t know why.” That line hit hard, and I absolutely love stories of women breaking the mold of just being some man’s future wife, or realizing that they don’t owe love to anyone.
I absolutely loved this entire cast, I felt a connection to each character! I think we could all find a bit of each character's personality in us💞 Relatable and Nostalgic!
i have seen the movie twice already and at first i was so mad that laurie and jo didn’t end up together and i kept saying that they were perfect for eachother, bu then i saw it a second time yesterday and now i realize that jo and laurie are more like really close friends and could never work out. i think the only thing that was holding me back from jo and laurie was the scene on the hill and laurie confessing his love and crying but jo kept saying no. but what hit me the hardest was when laurie said “jo you will find a perfect man and marry him and have kids.” and then he said and “i will watch you.” that just hit me so hard but now i know why they wouldn’t work also can we just appreciate how good THE WHOLE CAST IS LIKE SHOOT THIS IS MY FAVORITE MOVIE
I feel like Jo and Laurie are similar, wild natured people. Where as Amy is basically everything that Jo ( and Laurie) lack... which is why it is so important that she clashes with Jo, and that she ends up with Laurie...despite also loving Laurie with Jo, I feel like it was better that he ended up with Amy because she provides the qualities that he lacks and basically anchors him, where as Laurie and Jo, like stated in the movie, would always fight and not grow from each other... Amy also needed someone like Laurie because, without Jo, I think Amy is a more serious person, and that’s shown a lot when she lived in Paris, away from her family. So with Laurie sharing the same wild and energetic nature as Jo, he provides those qualities in his relationship with Amy much like Jo does...
When he says he is not a relationship expert he maybe means that it didn’t work out with him and Lily and in another interwiew the girls say that they helped him with relationship advice. That’s kinda cute.
WHAT IF IT HURTS A MILIMETER MORE EVERY DAY?! My sister experienced a break up, she got through a crying stage and all, and a month later, she's over it. Me, on the other hand, went through a break up and A YEAR AND A HALF AGO and it didn't hurt at the beginning at all but then day after day it just started getting ridicuoulous, I began dreaming of him litteraly ALL THE TIME at night and ALL THROUGHT the day. It's getting worse and worse. Any advice? The only thing keeping me sane is uni lol, no but really the fact that I have my priorities made straight, and the fact that he's better off without me. He's just too good for me. But I am losing hope I will ever stop thinking about him daily. Wondering if he's okay, what he's doing, if he's etc. He ignores me completely since we broke up (actually, I was the one who said we should, what an irony i know aaaaah but i was like he wants kids and i don't and yeah it's LAME). Anyone in a similar situation?
I haven’t seen Little Women but I’ve watched Black Widow (which Florence was in as Black Widow’s sister), and now I’m so obsessed with Florence that I’m watching this and have figured out half of Little Women’s plot from other interviews I’ve seen 😅😂
just my opinion but i can't see why some people don't think amy and laurie were a perfect match! I mean, they really love each other (and they have romantic feelings for each other), and they complement each other in their weak areas, they express with honesty their opinions about the things that they're right and wrong, jo and laurie could have never done that, it's quite clear when jo says she wouldn't change a thing about him. plus, there's the fact that jo never loved him that way, and laurie's feelings for jo (in a romantic way) werent that deep. Also i thought florence and tim had amazing chemistry :)
I have read the book and it always seemed as if Laurie and Jo were together but as the story went on myself and my best friend who J was reading it with figured out Laurie and Amy end up together. ** Spoilers Ahead ** Meg ends up with Mr. Brooke Beth dies at the age of 21 and never married to my understanding Jo refuses Laurie's confession of love So Amy and Laurie are my little women OTP
peace at 720 ---- sometimes i wish i could lower your beauty from ten-eighty to seven-twenty like it were a resolution so I could watch you calm and steady without chaos or confusion sometimes i wish your flaws were those of a normal human like rose-tinted glasses off like a gray morning-after like a wake-up call but they’re making it worse taking me to a new level of adoration strange and vicious heart-sickening unrelenting you’d give me no peace at seven-twenty like snow in the sun like a sandstorm in the desert like a letter saying ‘never’ you’re wreaking havoc on my eyes
dude welcome to the painful reality of unrequited love lol but yeah i watched and read the books my entire childhood and preadolescence and my heart broke everytime
Karena Ardaji Amy and Laurie make each other very happy in the books, and they suit each other so well. Jo finds someone perfect for her as well, but that’s only because the author felt forced to give her a love interest by her fans
