Lilah ,'Not Fade Away'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Well LW was entirely charming. And beautifully shot: there were some shots that I just thought were lovely, like the scene on the beach with Jo and Amy, or the bit where Jo sits down on the hillside overlooking the church.
And the clothes! The costume designer deserves an award: it's all so real, and looks handmade, and shows the characters. Beautiful work.
My mother is so mad about that scene at the beach, just from having seen it in the ads. "People didn't just go to the beach! It was really far back then!"
but that was what Jo used the money she made in NY for. It wasn't a day trip, although the movie does kind of make it look that way.
I'm with Sophia in loving LMA and rereading her regularly. I can't wait to see the movie.
I need to reread some of the others -- I fixated on Little Women at an early age. And I've never actually read Jo's Boys or Little Men, which is sort of criminal.
I love Jo's Boys! I mean, I am pretty vocal that Old Fashioned Girl is my favorite favorite, but Little Men and Jo's Boys are worth it! Although I think it is possible Jo's Boys involves a love story between an 18 year old and someone possibly underage... I would have to reread to figure out the ages, but a rough and tumble youth comes back to Jo's house and falls in love (mutually) with Amy and Laurie's daughter. It is also totally possible he is 16 and she is 14. It is interesting because Laurie and Amy are still pretty class conscious, so they really struggle with their daughter falling in. Love with an orphan with few prospects.

Ooh, is that from the book? If so, I will totally bust my mother. (I have never read it; she is a big fan.)

It's definitely in the book.
Ha HA!
I thought the trip to the beach was when Beth was so sick, but I don't remember Amy going with them? Man, I need to get to this movie.
