I love both those versions! I'm also on a mission to get people to watch 2017 little women it's on YouTube as three episodes that are about an hour long each. Jo is played by Maya hawke. I still need to watch the little women adaptation for the 40s or 50s.
This movie is home to me, more than any house I lived in or any particular set of memories. I was about 6 years old when I first saw it, and already enjoyed writing little stories and stapling the pages together, but Jo March was the first person/character I’d ever seen who was a “real” writer and seeing her felt like making sense of my life (yes I was v dramatic lol). I’ve watched it probably at least once a year since then, relating more strongly to different sisters or characters in different phases of my life and always struck with something new from it each time.
it was my introduction to the original story and i was writing about how it came at the perfect time in my life just earlier. i’m constantly thinking about certain scenes or certain lines from it. i saw myself in jo march in every way and before watching it i had never felt so impacted by a movie and especially by one i saw at the cinema (i rarely go there). i then made this movie part of my whole personality so much that it’s my username everywhere except for here & all my friends associate me with it and always buy me little women related items <3
