little things about little women
the way the dialogue overlaps makes it feel so real
the play jo is watching in new york is twelfth night and āItās the scene where Viola (dressed as a man) seduces Olivia.ā thatās a quote from the script so basically jo is gay and i wonāt be convinced otherwise
jo switching hands when one of her hands gets tired
the way jo is so combative with her writingāshe puts on the military jacket whenever sheās on a writing spree and when she goes into the publishing office the script describes her as being ālike a boxer about to go into the ringā
this has been mentioned a million times but the way laurie and joās outfits mirror each other makes me so happy
laurie has the ring on for basically every moment after jo gives it to him and you can see him fidgeting with it in a lot of scenes, but then itās off when he kisses amy
when the landlady at the boarding house says āyour mother says that youāre a writer ā how wonderful! i keep a diary, you know.ā lmaooo
the way meg laughs when sheās at the debutante ball but she tries to suppress it because everyone else is v serious
when marmee meets laurie for the first time and says āYou must be part of the girlsā theatricals! [ā¦] They could use an extra player, although youāll have to fight Jo for the male roles or play a girl.ā
greta gerwig talking about laurie: āgirls are often imagining themselves into the space of boys [ā¦] so you have lots of practice imagining yourself as a pirate or a king [ā¦] boys have less practice imagining themselves as womenā
