Little Women is known the be one of the best coming-of-age stories ever told and the movie that helped bring it to life is an incredible work of art itself with 7 Oscars nominations under its belt. Here are the best moments from the movie:
Laurie’s confession to Amy. Although subtle hints were dropped, Laurie makes it clear that she wants Amy to be his wife. Amy gets frustrated because she doesn’t want to be second place to Jo. This unexpectedly delightful turn of events truly shows how much the two characters have grown.
Amy’s speech on marriage being an economic proposition to women. Amy aspires to be an artist but says it would be no use because as a woman, she would never make enough to support herself and rather marries rich as that is the best possible route. This scene truly shows off Amy’s maturity and the mindset of women in the 1800s through Florence Pugh’s impeccable acting skills.
Jo and Laurie dancing. In this scene where Jo stumbles upon Laurie by himself, they find common ground in not wanting to dance in the ballroom. Instead, they playfully dance awkwardly outside making it a joyful scene to watch.
Jo’s monologue depicting feminism. Here, Jo tells her mom she doesn’t want to only be fit for a housewife role while fighting the urge to settle is a perfect expression of the dilemma many women feel. It is by far the most relatable moment in the movie and Saoirse Ronan’s delivery is spot on!
Laurie’s rejected proposal. In the climax point of the movie – the point that separates the past from present is Laurie confessing his love for Jo who sees him merely just as a friend. We can’t help but feel bad for Laurie and wondrous of the change in their relationship dynamics thereafter. This is the most intriguing scene in the movie.
