Did Gerwig make them all lesbians and SJWs ?
This is not at all surprising.
At some point you would think most Americans will come to realize that everything from Hollywood is societal propaganda intended to benefit the leftist agendas.

Most from the Left are unlikely to embrace that view, unfortunately, regardless of how obvious it is.
Social(ist) Justice Warriors. AKA Communist Totalitarians. The ones bred in our wonderful pubik skrools and elected to Congress like Stalinist Sandy from NYC (AOC).
I didn’t see the new movie. I hated the one in 1979, mostly because I hate Ann Dusenberry, who was in it. The 1933 version was OK.
Basically, until one comes out where Jo loves Laurie back, and Beth doesn’t die, I’ll pass. (Kidding.) It was my favorite book when I was nine, and it still holds a deep place in my heart. I don’t think there’s any way a movie can do it justice.
I almost didn't go see it because Meryl's overacting (which isn't that bad in this movie because she's just a commentary role) ... her overacting which almost ruins her is dwarfed by her disgusting political character. If she were a star of this thing it would have been ruined.
That said - good solid flick. I get the criticisms this critic has.
But it was VERY NICE to see a story about women, who were all good women, that was PRO-women, that didn't feel the need to crap on men.
Bitter feminism has done a great great injustice to young women. It's made them all want to be like their illusory oppressors, rather than to simply enjoy the freedom earned over the centuries by the sexes having more strongly adopted their roles and used that structure to build civilization until such time as the rigidity of those roles wasn't (isn't) as necessary (but the roles, as opposed to the full rigidity of the past) are always necessary for civilization)
I liked it. Wasn't a classic, but was a very good, if at times a little slow, human story - in this case about women human's, but without the full modern delusion.
Most people today probably think “Little Women” is about a troupe of midgets.
Spies in Disguise is laugh til you cry funny. I will say, I have been a Will Smith Comedy fan since Bad Boys.
I saw an ad for it, and not being a fan of the story, it looked like some weird version of the 1800s with some “woke” slant.
I rolled my eyes and said that I’m sure someone is going to either be a hardcore feminist or a vaguely hinted lesbian.
I think people are getting bored with redo’s of the same old stories. So you put different talking props in once in awhile and muck a bit with the storylines, That’s not groundbreaking cinema.
Grammar NAZI comment first: I hate the modern bad usage of “concerning” but also the writer used “admittance”, which should have been “admission”.
Social Justice Warrior
Three versions of the same story in three years. Hollywood simply can’t do anything new anymore.
So you are saying you DID see this latest? Or not? And you liked it?
I agree with your assessment! I can’t stomach much from Hwood, but this was tolerable. Streeps role is small—I couldn’t have taken it otherwise. Watching the movie together proved to be a very delightful outing for my two daughters and me on the day after Christmas.
You have to see the early Golden Age “Little Women” flicks.
Most connieseurs love the Katherine Hepburn, which is OK, but I adore the June Allyson. There are some licenses taken with the book (which yes I read, due to my love for the movies), but the gist is true and they are wonderfully entertaining (funny) as well as reasonably deep.
