The lineup of fairies can’t be more eye-catching~ There are quite a few controversial points in this movie, which is adapted and remade based on a famous book. In my personal opinion, it has more advantages and is worthy of five-star recommendation, but I won’t talk about those here. I write a long review only because I want to unilaterally and casually express my feelings about the role of Jo played by Saoirse Ronan.
From "Miss Bird" to Saoirse Ronan at first sight, to now "Little Women" is once again subdued by her interpretation, an excellent actor with both appearance and strength.
In fact, I can quite understand Jo from the beginning to the end. This understanding means that I see my shadow in her body, as if it is like a portrayal of myself: whether it is at the beginning, she is carrying an incomparable feeling as a writer. Self-confidence-even arrogant-mentality to go to the publishing house owner to submit an article, when unexpected rejection, the arrogant words that blurted out due to impaired self-esteem, anger and anger, are still irretrievable when a loved one is seriously ill. When she finally realized the sudden disappearance of her childhood, she grew up overnight, but she was still full of passionate delusions to resist the erosion of fate on her own, and she turned towards loss and disillusionment after the death of her relatives. All of this was natural for me. Substituted into my own memories, although I did not have a similar experience, I just remembered that at a certain stage of life, and the transition from this stage to the next stage, the mentality transition between that resonated with Jo’s growth and awakened it. Hidden in the depths of my heart is the ugliest but the most real, and I dare not easily be known as fragile.
This year’s Oscar’s best actress candidates all have strong strengths, and the decisive point that made me selfishly support Ronan’s impact on the awards lies in the major turning point in the plot development to Jo’s love and finally in the publishing house. The conversation part of the boss.
Jo is a scholarly woman with a lot of culture and a natural classic temperament. However, her character is cynical, and she is considered a maverick among her sisters. The more she reads, the more she disdains the society where women are attached to patriarchy. She continues to prove that she can live well without relying on men, and she constantly wants to prove that she can also make money to support her family like men. So, she rejected Rohr-when the plot progressed here, I think Jo is indeed a very interesting woman, and I like her very much, but I don’t think this role has anything to do with modern so-called feminists. The superiority, and the next moment, is the highlight moment of Jo, which makes the image of this character become three-dimensional, the contradiction is transformed into conflict, and finally a kind of spiritual sublimation is completed-her mother asked her to like Rolle NS? And she made a bunch of excuses, a bunch of excuses for refusing Rohr's confession. No matter how Jo avoided, her mother just asked her the same question patiently. After Jo said a lot like a manic paranoia, she finally couldn't help sobbing, saying that she was really lonely, she really felt lonely, "Women have minds and they have souls and they have ambitions. I'm sick of people saying that love is all a woman is fit for. I'm so sick of it! But – I'm so lonely! The free and easy self-arrogance of "the self", many attempts to prove to the outside world through their own actions are too deliberate . The "self" that she has always thought of is actually just a kind of immaturity, just a deliberate transformation of her inner self-esteem, just an escape. She tried her best to prove her value to the outside world, proving that women do not need men to live their lives, but she has never discovered that the reason for the action of "proving" itself is contradictory. She tried to change the deep-rooted discriminatory notions of society, but at the same time she was also strongly restrained by ideology itself. Therefore, when she is facing true love, she has been oppressing herself, and only after the end of this relationship can she finally confess her true heart: In fact, she also yearns for love.
She figured it out, why do women have to prove equality and independence by resisting marriage? There is no necessary connection between these. If you go against your sincerity and desires because of this, then that is the real inequality imprisonment, and it proves that you can't be independent. Therefore, from resisting marriage to actively chasing after marriage, Jo is not a "true fragrance" slap, nor is it against her original intentions, this is just her growth, this is a sign of maturity, a journey in life, based on The initial ideal of self-improvement. Only through such a qualitative change can she realize her independence and value in the long future life. If as the years go by, she still stubbornly proves her independence by resisting marriage, it would be too naive, and it would be too cruel to herself. And if the story is not delved into Jo’s depth, I am afraid it will only become a more mediocre female film.
Dressed in a classical coat, it actually reflects the ideological concepts of contemporary women’s life. It stands at a higher level and uses a broader perspective to advocate and dialectically the growth, self-independence, and ideal career of women. It has both a romantic reverberation and an ideal career. There is realistic meanness, mourning and inspirational, and most of these elements are concentrated in the character of Jo.
The loss of a loved one is the biggest turning point in Jo's character. Originally cynical, arrogant, surly and rude, she began to feel her insignificance, becoming like another person, losing her blood and motivation, and even giving up her favorite writing. Fortunately, she finally couldn't get rid of the addiction to writing dreams, but she was no longer as arrogant as she was 7 years ago. After struggling with the pen, she lowered her posture, calmed down her attitude, and spoke to the publishing house in a humble and polite tone. Contribute. This time, the publisher finally accepted her manuscript, but asked her to revise the ending of the heroine being single. Because the publishing house believes that only the ending of the heroine's love can be sold.
I thought that Jo would choose to leave angrily after hearing the opinions that touched her sensitive bottom line. Unexpectedly, she actually compromised the publisher's uncontrasted opinions, and on this basis, she proudly bargained with the publisher. She became "realistic", but this word is not a derogatory description on her. Rather, after experiencing the contradiction between love and independence, she finally understood that as a woman, she does not need to constantly prove the so-called independence and self-worth standards to the outside world. Instead, she should retrograde and ask her sincerely , asking if she is happy. Ask if your nature is no longer suppressed, ask if you have become secular, ask if you are following the trend, ask if you are developing in a good direction, ask if you have been struggling for your ideals-this is what she has been struggling with all the way Purpose. Therefore, after a series of baptisms, she finally understands what she is pursuing in her heart. She is confident and strong enough to know that she does not need to force unnecessary others to change and accept her concept.
At the end, there is an open ending that is very interesting and full of ambiguous and fascinating reveries. As viewers, we understand that the happy ending we see is only the plot of the "Little Women" written by the writer Jo (in the works). As for the life course of the writer Jo, is it true as she wrote? Is the story so wonderful? I don’t know, I only know that she has earned her own bucket of wealth by virtue of her writings, but what the money solves is her desire to feed herself, the realization of the ultimate goal of taking profit as the ultimate goal mentioned at the beginning of the film, or just like her What other urgent things are emphasized that have to cost a lot of money? We don't know. I can only see that in Jo's eyes, in addition to the joy and relief of the realization of the dream, it seems to be faintly smeared with a layer of sorrow and sadness, mixed with mixed feelings...
(Finally, let’s say that the temperament of Luo Nan is perfect to attack the aesthetics of the oriental people. She is such a superior existence in the movie. How can the catwalks always dress up such old European and American style makeup and clothes in reality?)
