The new 2020 Little Women movie was amazing, but I have to say I liked the other one better for its content. I was so excited to see Emma Watson cast as Meg, and I did truly enjoy the new movie. But I am glad I saw the miniseries first. I felt that the producers tried too hard to differentiate this film from the miniseries, and if I hadn’t read the book first I would have been extremely confused by the timeline (I was slightly confused even after having read the book, TBH!). Once I understood the present-vs-past flashbacks I enjoyed the movie a lot more, but I thought that it was a distracting and strange way to present the timeline of events. In that sense, the 2018 was better.
Louisa May Alcott was an American novelist, short story writer and poet best known as the author of the novel Little Women and its sequels Little Men (1871) and Jo’s Boys (1886). Published in 1868, Little Women is set in the Alcott family home, Orchard House, in Concord, Massachusetts, and is loosely based on Alcott’s childhood experiences with her three sisters, Abigail May Alcott Nieriker, Elizabeth Sewall Alcott, and Anna Alcott Pratt. The novel was well-received at the time and is still wildly popular today. It has been adapted many times to the stage, film, and television.
