Review: Little Women

"When I get in passion, I get so savage. I could hurt anyone, and I'd enjoy it." 

-Jo March 

The movie/novel gives Jane Austen vibes. It doesn't feel like a  feminist movie but a feminine one. It's by the woman, about the woman, for the woman.  Nothing is preached here but presented beautifully with delicacy. It's a bildungsroman movie where few little women are trying to be big in their own way. The title might suggest two things: the movie starts when little girls stepping from late childhood into early womanhood, and also the inferior position of the women, little 'importance' of women in society comparing to men. 

It's a story about four sisters but different women. Meg March is the elder sister and represents a sociable woman who is beautiful, hard-working, traditional, and completely devoted to her husband and two children. Her desires may lack ambitions but they are not unimportant. Beth March is kind, quiet and loves to play the piano but only for her and for close people. She doesn't have any particular desire as her sisters. She is the wisest one. Amy March is an artist, the youngest sister, a self-centered woman, and always in competition with Jo. She is the only sister who represents herself more than others. She wants success. 

Jo is a lead character. She is a writer, loves literature, but not like Amy, she wants to earn money by writing not for her but for family. She is strong will powered woman, she is stubborn, and always falls in troubles. At the initial stage, she rejects the idea that marriage and love is the ultimate goal of any woman's life. She loves her family and her Independence. 

With a few shortcomings, the movie has beautifully presented different aspects of the personality of women. Every little woman or man is an important part of it. Saoirse, Timothée, Laura, and others have done their respected role beautifully, but mine favorite it Florence Pugh, she is incredible. And here too, she is having a trip to Europe, flowers in hair, dance in the groups, setting fire to some 'stuff' with a cunning smile!
