I guess I could use some help in that area. ;) Though at the same time, I have to admit, I rather enjoy pointing out all the things the movies do wrong. It makes me feel smart to act like I'm an authority on how the story should be told because "I read the book" Hahaha. ;)<br /><br />I like Christian Bale as Laurie, too, for the most part. Though, of course, the way my mind works I can see a lot of room for improvement, as well. As to Jo. Weelll...I'm sorry to say she rather irks me. She just seems too much like a movie-star. Do you know what I mean? (Haha. Yes, I know. I'm ridiculously picky, aren't I?)

It always gives me a nice glow of satisfaction when words come together so nicely. :)<br /><br />I find that if I can keep characters in books and their movie-counterparts separate and distinct in my mind, it is easier for me not to get frustrated when they are not identical. It's easier for me to accept, because I don't view them as the same person, really. I think of them as book-Jo and movie-Jo, you know? And then if the movie doesn't do a perfect job, it's okay, because movie-Jo is an entirely different person - who I can learn to like for her own unique personality and set of quirks.<br /><br />Though, that example wasn't all that great, because I LOVED Jo from that version - I thought the actress really nailed it. Also, LOVE Christian Bale as Laurie. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4586249009762006304.post-19831891134174129772016-06-01T14:12:12.804-04:002016-06-01T14:12:12.804-04:00Very true. You're right. The guy in the movi...Very true. You're right. The guy in the movie certainly isn't ugly. He may not be my kind of handsome, but he's obviously supposed to be good-looking, whereas, like you said, Professor Bhaer in the book clearly isn't. Haha. Yes, charming. That's what I really dislike about him. He's so charming it's kind of obnoxious. :P<br /><br />That's sort of how it was for me, too. I had just started reading the book when we got an old movie of Emma from the library, so I had the characters from that movie in my head as I finished the book. But oh! You're so right! Book-characters really do have a way of "establishing their own distinct personalities", apart from the characters in the movie. (I like how you put that, by the way. ;)) Miss Marchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03088465083055515308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4586249009762006304.post-55878277089908487462016-06-01T11:25:29.473-04:002016-06-01T11:25:29.473-04:00I know, right?

Like in the book it was pretty obvious that he wasn't desirable in, like, any way imaginable. Jo basically came right out and said that he was ugly - she couldn't find anything about his looks to compliment, except his teeth. So I'd say he wasn't too hot. <br /><br />I didn't think the guy in the movie was awful looking, by any means. And he was like all charming and, oh I don't know - but not the guy with broken English and peculiarities that the book describes!<br /><br />I hope so, too!!!<br /><br />Yeah, last summer was my first time. I always rather read the book before watching the movie, but unfortunately, that was not possible in this case, so I kind of "saw" the movie in my head as I read the book. After a couple of readings, though, that usually fades - I start to notice differences and the book-characters establish their own distinct personalities in my mind. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4586249009762006304.post-26846070992815266952016-05-31T20:40:07.456-04:002016-05-31T20:40:07.456-04:00That's true. There's certainly a balance ...That's true. There's certainly a balance between being loyal to the book, and just being plain picky. ;)<br /><br />Seriously? Oh! I'm SO glad to find someone else who feels the same way about Professor Bhaer and Jo in that movie. Their romance drives me nuts, because it's just WAY too romantic. Kissing?? I don't think so. And yes, Professor Bhaer is way too young and "handsome". (Actually, I don't think he's all that handsome, but that's just my personal opinion. :P I really don't like him in that movie. He's SO much better in the book.)<br /><br />I think you really will like the Romola Garai version...at any rate, I hope you will. :) It has some wonderful scenes with Mr. Knightley and Emma. I can't really remember what Emma was like in the Gwyneth Paltrow movie. I need to see it again and refresh my memory. :) By the way, have you ever read the book?Miss Marchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03088465083055515308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4586249009762006304.post-24612261803249586352016-05-31T13:31:49.789-04:002016-05-31T13:31:49.789-04:00Yeah, it should be interesting!
I wasn't comp...Yeah, it should be interesting!<br /><br />I wasn't completely satisfied with the version with Christian Bale, either... it can be tough, trying to not obsess too much when the movie is not identical to the book, but on the other hand, not being okay with filmmakers TOTALLY twisting the story, either.<br /><br />In particular, it bothered me that Professor Bhaer was so young and handsome (totally contradicting the book...) and that he and Jo were in a romantic relationship while she was living in New York. It made Jo seem like something she was not, in my opinion. Book-Jo wouldn't have done that, I don't think. <br /><br />When I was little, I always thought of it as boring and it definitely isn't my favorite movie or anything, but I have come to like it better over the years. I hope I like the Romola Garai version, because I love her so much in Amazing Grace. Gywneth Paltrow does make a great Emma, I must say - she is very spoiled and silly. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4586249009762006304.post-22150964564156158782016-05-31T09:10:25.753-04:002016-05-31T09:10:25.753-04:00Aww.

I grew up on it, so it's always been a part of my life. As to Little Women we own the version with Christian Bale, as well as the 1949 version starring June Allyson. I like both of them alright, but I'm still not totally satisfied with either, because I'd really like to find one the follows the book better. (I can be a bit of a book purist sometimes, especially when it comes to books I REALLY like. :))<br /><br />Yep. I've seen that one. That was the third one I watched. What did I think of it? Weeelll...I didn't really like it. At that point I'd seen two other versions and I was still looking for the one that would accurately bring the book to life for me. The Gywneth Paltrow film was just too short. I didn't feel like the story was properly developed, and I didn't like all the casting either as they didn't fit with my imagination of the characters. (I can be very picky about these sorts of things. ;)) However, when I saw the 2009 version, I was like, "Yes! This is it! Now we're getting the real story." What did you think of the Gwyneth Paltrow movie? I know some people really like that one.

That's EXACTLY how I feel. It's like there's too many ideas...and the enormity of the task just makes me clam up.
