我抱了很高很高的期待。看了预告就向往这种又是爱情又女权的片子，以为能够激励激励自己的。
音乐服装场景都很棒很棒，但是这个故事节奏真的支离破碎了。现在穿插过去再回到现在的叙述完全没有问题，但是你要把主角4个人物都塑造出转变，会让人感觉迷失了重点。故事太冗长了，前半部分花了太多时间堆砌主角们的“落魄、迷茫（比如说Jo和professor吵架，坐火车，Meg没钱买布这些太没有必要了，你又没有多余的时间继续铺开他们的挣扎）”反正我看的时候，有一种明明知道Jo是最重要的主线，但是又觉得有些地方好像Amy是主线。
但是，我后面全程一直在哭呢！她们真的像我的姐妹一样，我为她们欢喜为她们忧。萨沙尔罗南Saoirse Ronan真的演得太好了！最喜欢女演员了！每一个场景都是一种情绪，一种立体的人格（好好的演技被这个叙述方式给剪得变成平面化了，sad）Timothee Chalamet提莫西·查拉梅也是，明明感觉他很有演技，但又觉得没有突破情窦初开注定为爱痴狂心碎的小奶狗定位，后面浪子还在做自己，但突然转变成成熟的人还抱个孩子让人觉得好突兀啊….
Anyway，我觉得导演Greta Gerwig还是适合拍Lady Bird那种时间不要跳跃太多的故事，让角色乖乖的呆在特定的年纪，再最后來一击revelation鸡汤比较好。你很擅长帮助演员塑造情绪，丰满一个故事，但是成长节奏把握不好啊。
当然，我也是吹毛求疵了。绝对是好片。
I hold high expectations for watching Little Women. You know, based on the trailer, I will get motivated by feminism controlling own life and moved by “unrealistic romance.”
The music and production design are awesome. But the storytelling is scattered. That from the present, then to the past, then back to the present is totally ok, but trying to make 100%, well 200% portray of all four characters’ personalities and transformations make the audience lose focus.
You’ve spent too much time on telling former part characters’ “loser” lives (for example, Jo argued with the professor about her arrogance on her writing, then taking a train scene being taken by someone, Meg didn’t have money to buy fancy clothes and her husband was sad and went for bed, You don’t have time to tell us what’s behind those struggles ). Anyways, when I was watching it, I got confused with this narrative that I know Jo is the lead character but sometimes Meg and Amy are more important?
However, I cried so much for the latter half. All four girls were like my sisters. Timothee Chalamet and Saoirse Ronan had really, really good acting. Every scene Ronan had a distinct emotion that I love her so much (but because of this narrative, Jo looked like different people throughout the movie, at least four, one crazy, one giving hope, one don’t understand love, one regret). So is Chalamet. I clearly know he acts well but the character of a rich, spoiled, young boy who loves and gets heartbroken is very portrayed. Later when he grows up and becomes a father…well… doesn’t make sense！he doesn’t look like one at all…
Anyways, I feel Greta Gerwig is good at directing those movies such as Lady Bird which focus on a specific period of the story. Just let the characters stay the same age throughout the movie. Then it is ok to offer a little revelation or motivation. Gerwig, you are good at helping actors become the character and make he/her live on screen, but not the character change across the lifespan.
Just to be clear, I am looking for a bone in an egg. Little Women is definitely a good movie.
