The fairy tale in the eyes of others VS the truth to please yourself

Jo and Laurie's failure to be together in the end has become a regret that many people miss. It may have been a foreboding of this result. When Jo rejected Laurie's proposal, he was mentally duller than expected. The only thing that softened my heart was Ribell's acting skills in this episode. The feelings accumulated in my heart were finally expressed, the tension and excitement intertwined, and the frustration and sullenness of knowing hopelessness, and even a little grievance. It's hard to forget when Bell said you will live and die for him without too much force and every cell on his face was saying sad and dying. (The actor's looks and acting skills are really easy to lead the audience's selfishness T^T)
I have a feeling that Jo said that he and Laurie are too difficult to control their emotions, they will kill each other together, I think this should be Jo The most obvious reason for not accepting Laurie, Jo's fiery impulse is obvious to all, but Laurie's character expression doesn't seem to have much writing in the movie. Instead, I see his willingness to integrate into the March sisters as a rickshaw and his willingness to be a servant, shouting out the window. The sisters only saw that the unrestrained character in his character is better than the Jo sisters. Maybe the lack of this part will bring a bit of abruptness and incomprehension to the failure of the marriage proposal.
However, the part of the marriage proposal reflects the differences between Laurie and Jo. For example, Laurie must follow the family's arrangement to learn business, but Jo's family can allow her to do what she wants to do most. In Laurie's eyes, Jo's writing career is mainly about making money, so he does not need to write to earn money to support his family. There is still some money maintenance in his view of marriage, but this kind of thinking just hits Jo's insistence that "no They may be the best playmates, but Laurie can't give them more, and Jo can't obey. Wilde said Women don't want to be understood, they want to be loved. For Jo, I think being understood is just as important to her as being loved. Loving someone is an ability, and being loved with confidence is also an ability, and Amy seems to be better at being loved.
Later, when Laurie took Amy home and opened the door, Jo jumped and hugged him excitedly, which made me feel very natural. A true temperament is like Jo, who is not arrogant and candid in front of people who have rejected him again. Jo has probably always regarded Laurie as the only brother in the family. Look at how proud she is when she says He is not a boy, he is Laurie. nature. Jo is a person who pays so much attention to family relationships. Is it more reassuring and long-lasting for Laurie to be a brother than to be a husband?
I especially want to talk about Mrs. March. She is as open-minded as Jo in handling things, but she can solve it in a softer and more effective way than Jo, so Jo also said in the movie that she admires her mother. Being able to have four daughters with different personalities shows that she will not make any rules for the four children to follow, and more hope that they will be themselves. Be a lady if she is a lady, and let her be free if she is a boy. This not only encourages people to follow their own nature, but also emphasizes respecting their own choices when dealing with others. When Jo expressed her dissatisfaction with Meg's marriage to John and her personal bad impression of John, her mother said objectively that as long as you marry for love, it's fine. In addition, Jo was furious after Amy burned her manuscript, and her mother did not easily evaluate right and wrong, so as to avoid the concept of winning or losing among the conflicts between relatives. Just gently comfort Jo not to fall asleep with anger, calm down is indeed an effective way to persuade him.
Next, I have to talk about the place that triggers my tears (yes, I didn’t expect that I would cry•﹏•) Although I don’t think there is anything too obvious in this film, but there are from the beginning to the end. There are many places that made me put on a sad face (such as Bell's sad expression orz), and the point of tears was when Beth died. Beth said that she was different from other sisters, she would not leave home to chase her dreams, and she also If she doesn't have the ambition to make some plans, she won't feel sad or upset because of it, but she just thinks it's good to stay at home and have relatives. To be honest, this paragraph is so heartbreaking. There are too many people with different personalities and ideals in the world. There is more than one way to be happy. Who told you that success is a high standard, and who said that everyone wants to be great and eye-catching, how can a fairy tale in the eyes of others be worth a sincere word in your heart?
After Beth's death, Jo rummaged through old things. In the background, the voices of the four sisters and Laurie were played together. He would miss the gentle and obedient Meg in the innocent age, the demure and sincere Beth, the vain but not hypocritical Amy, the beautiful and outrageous Laurie (forgive me for being a fan of Bell~>_<~), with a mustache and a tall hat, shows a heroic spirit, and Jo, who is brave in everything, is really The Age of Innocence. The
bitterness is that the four sisters grew up in The same family has spent the best years of innocence together, but in the end, they must experience their own life experiences in different ways. Knocking on the door of the adult world is not easy for anyone, pain cannot be exchanged, and fate has its own arrangement. What I feel about "Little Women" is that it uses four girls from the same family to tell that there are too many different people in this world, with different backgrounds, different talents, different aspirations, different levels of effort, different values, and different luck. , encountering different people, life is good or bad, bumpy or smooth, but they can use their own differences to maintain a kind of warmth.
