I like Joe and Lauren, but they are not together

I have seen the children's book version of "Little Women" before, and I almost forgot the plot. I only remember that it was a warm story with a heart-warming process and a sunny ending.
What a nostalgic story. The family, the bits and pieces spent together, the kind and wise mother, and the four sisters who have different personalities but love each other, their lives are full of all the beautiful feelings that make people yearn for. Even the dad who was absent, when he appeared in the living room on Christmas Eve and hugged the daughters who were flying away, it made me feel: Is there a more perfect and warm home than this?
Lauren, my young friend, I like this boy so much. Saw him and Joe laughing and dancing together, in the room where they first met. Seeing that he was introduced into the girls' "drama club", he let the mischievous smile when he was pressed on his head by a hat. Seeing him and Joe skating together, he dashed out of the starting line before the start, and was dragged by Joe's clothes. When he saw him sending Amy away from home to avoid Beth's infection, he comforted the childish Amy with a gentle and mature face. Saw him secretly looking at Joe while everyone was singing on Christmas Eve. I always think he belongs to Joe. Lauren and Joe should be together. Even if Joe refused Lauren's marriage proposal, I always felt that Joe was just ignorant and they must be together.

The movie has an ending, but I don't like it.
I can't say whether this ending is good or bad, but when I saw the professor of philosophy (oh I forgot his name) appeared, I was vaguely disturbed. Even this plot of his appearance, I originally thought it should be placed in Lauren, with a long-awaited reunion miss and joy.
Why did Lauren marry Amy in the end? Why should Joe not like Lauren? What a gentle remark Lauren said when he proposed to Joe, how much he loved him. Even if it was the reunion of Lauren and Amy, I thought it was for Lauren to think of Joe. But at an abrupt moment, the story drove towards another unexpected ending.
Sorry, I like Joe and Lauren. I preconceived Lauren and Joe.

Meg's story speaks for itself. Her marriage and happiness are logical, even though her significant other is boring in Joe's eyes, but I think that is precisely for Meg. Remember the scene where Lauren yelled at the girls at the window. The tutor who later became Meg's husband stopped Lauren's unreasonable behavior, and then stood at the window again and shouted to the girls: My apologize! It was Meg who gave him a gentle smile. Eyes and smiles are sometimes wonderful things, and that's it, it is destined for Meg and his innate destiny.

The tragedy of Beth showed me the destruction of hope. When I saw her pale for a moment, I suddenly felt that the ending I wanted would not happen. Because Beth is dead, everything will never go back. The obscure Beth makes you worry about her existence, and makes you forget her existence unknowingly, but when she simply leaves, you realize that you miss her so much. Not just as a sister. She stood there and watched the changes over time, watching the sisters leave and come back one by one, but she stayed there all the time, and finally felt tired... as if it was time to leave after her life was over.

Although childhood Amy burned Joe's precious manuscript very willfully, the appearance of the little sister is still enough to touch everyone's heart, so that you can't really hate her. Looking at her, she thinks of her sister. When she was a child, she was so mischievous that you could not laugh or cry. But why do you think she is vanity? Why is it unreasonable to want to live a rich life in a poor life as a child? So much so that the last bond between her and Lauren was seen as a revolution? She is just a child, and I don't even want to see her grow up.

Well, in fact, the most impressive is still Joe and Lauren. This pair of children who I believe should be the one who should continue their childhood sweethearts together, but in the end stays at a calm ending.
In fact, this is probably just my stubborn prejudice. Why do other people's lives have to go as you wish? The choice of others is the most real. I just stood by crying and sighing over other people's stories. I never thought that this story does not require my decision.

    (7/10) Two hours, unable to show the essence of the original work, not to mention the content of the second part...

    Children who like to write, sisters, a sense of substitution. It seems that the memories of the films I watched in those years were vague, probably not because of one person watching them, as if I couldn't fully devote myself to feeling them. Maybe should watch it again.
