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.
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”.
Three versions of the same story in three years. Hollywood simply can’t do anything new anymore.
Children should be encouraged to read old books; especially should parents want them to see the movie ( from any era ) made from them and have them read the book/s FIRST!
Look at the latest absolutely revolting POS out of the UK of A CHRISTMAS CAROL, for example. Having Scrooge sexually molested as a child, offering Bib C money to have sexual relation with his wife, and him using the F word several times detracts from what was originally written and the whole thrust of the story! It thoroughly debased a much loved story for NO reason at all!
From what I have read about this new, unnecessary, redo of this book, this remake is just as bad!
There have been extremely few movies made from books and/or stage plays that are even 1/10th as good as the original and movie remakes are even more seldomly anywhere as good as the original. Some of the very few examples of the remake of movie being better than the book or play are CHICAGO ) play ), the third remake of THE MALTESE FALCON, and the remake of GASLIGHT.
I can’t believe they made this again. Give it a rest
One of my favorite books as a young girl. And while I love old movies, I never cared for either June Allyson or Kate Hepburn version. The one I like is with Winona Ryder and Susan Sarandon (early 90’s). I know. Go figure.
The 1949 version is the most endearing.....
....but the Masterpiece version is a close 2nd!
Nonetheless, Jo should have married Laurie!
Why make another film? The original is a classic and the 94 version is well done. Unnecessary and apparently badly done.
