pick is Greta Gerwig's little women and you can use the chapters in your podcast app to skip to that
discussion if you want Casey Hoss left her to quote perfect movie Proto famously said years ago that the 1994 movie was
better than this will his opinion hold up we'll get into
you
Soka episode three I don't just get it we don't have to start
thank you we can talk about that in the uncut
I just want to remind folks that Spotify and patreon are making out so if you have been holding off on joining our
patreon because you listen and Spotify can do that now also we just as a recording it's like about
to charge patrons the numbers about to go down but we hit 400 patrons that's insane
congratulations to you both congratulations or achievement yeah milestone and Danny famously promise that once we hit 400 we
would do the first hunger games movie yeah are we still doing that it's coming yeah we haven't skid I haven't
sent out a Google calendar invite yet but when I mean why would we just do one what's the what's the point
you want to do them all that's what you're saying it's a whole series Proto where do you stand on that it's
still unconfirmed how many movies there are in this franchise no one has a clear answer now I know that I saw
trailer for prequel that looked pretty cool does it and I hadn't I had no idea what even was going on
the movie not the music on the numbers are going backwards could be like six hunger games I also know
that I had like the longest title I'd ever heard of anyone Google the title of the prequel so I can
recite it it's it's like 10 words the prequel title it's insane there's like a semicolon I think
there's three semicolons in the title the hunger games the ballot of songbirds and snakes that's
pretty long it's nine do oh you know what this is what I want to start the show off with Proto
watching the flash I think on packs this week Lord have mercy can we get into this Proto what what
was that day like you make yourself some ice tea you sit down in front of max and fire up the
flash and 4k yeah I was on vacation and I had a little bit of time in the vacation home and
I could sit down to watch a movie and I thought hey like maybe you know I'm on vacation maybe
something low stakes there's this flash movie and I know it's not going to be great but I don't
need a great movie right now this is kind of what I you know it's kind of what I'm looking for
something cheap so I put it on and well I mean I also knew I'm there's two other hosts on the show
who will not be named who watched the flash and did not leave ratings so speaking of which I
looked at your flash review someone's you calling me a coward in the comments of your review for
not ratings flash yes finally people are speaking out thank you
yeah I was upholded by this you in this movie oh my god
it the only thing I can I can that comes the mind is the matrix reloaded the plastic people
this movie yeah there was so much of that where everyone looked bad like really bad and maybe they
were going for that not for me it's what they said yeah the the treadmill CGI stuff was a poor decision
like all that CGI was ghastly catastrophic I had fun with flash I'll I'll test that and in my
comments of my review I think I said I was leaning on three and a half stars to whomever
called me a coward in part of his comments so I'm a three and a half stars I had fun I thought
it was funny too doesn't mean I love the CGI or I know what that I didn't put stars up that's
because there is no stars to give a zero star I can't give a star so those movies I can't if
there was a zero star would you have given it zero stars yeah sure yeah that's what I did
no stars doesn't mean zero stars though then we need to have a no stars you need to give
I'm not doing I'm not doing a ticket they don't get through to letterbox nothing gets
different over there everyone at letterbox reads the null tickets no they don't we read them together
no we we have a four hour meeting weekly and we just recite them to each other I can just see
like a ticker tip coming in you guys grab one read it throw it away another thing I could say about
the flash is that let it out I could I could also kind of couldn't believe it when you get to
the end of the movie and like like this was the story this was the story that they went with
cash well listen a lot of people are back on the DC train with blue beetle they said they're
they're back who's the director of suicide squad he's running James gun James they're like James
guns done it again we're back in the game with blue beetle James gun also said that like the
flash was the best movie though since the dark night or something like months but also you hate
at the dark night so we don't need to get into this not even engaging with this business please
I'm getting I'm getting linked to this in other discord's people for all thing one

think about movies hmm makes me new friends in our discord Danny anything you watch this week
you want to talk about after we watched um godzilla 1998 I was itching to get back into um
the monster verse um legendary films um so I watched the I don't know what year the Kyle
chant no the Brian Cranston godzilla yeah 2014 thank you Kirby um I was just wanting to I wanted
to start them over and watch them again um and I just picked that one to start with this the I
guess is the first one I honestly had a good time watching it again I was I don't know I think
it's okay I mean I had a it was fun I couldn't believe how much Brian Cranston was like swinging
for the fence with his performance and the beginning of the certain his paycheck he really was I
was it was it was impressive um but I mean once you get to the once you get to godzilla fighting the two
moodos I guess they call them at the end though the husband and wife who were trying to put their eggs
into San Francisco um tenderloin district you just
it's a great time I mean it's a it's a fun fight um and I really had fun watching a George came in
and watched a little bit of with me how surprised he stuck through uh some of the non monster bits
we started we started watching um king of the monsters yeah we started watching king of the
monsters and he was asking where uh he said where's that boy at and I was like which boy he's
talking about air and Taylor Johnson and I'm like he's like 20 something man he's not a boy
I was like I guess he I don't know honestly don't know why he's not in these next the next
though yeah forgot about that he was kind of like the star of that first one he's busy uh doing
that spider-man movie now without this just 2014 I mean I know I don't know why he wasn't in
king of the monsters but we got Kyle Chandler so I think my favorite part of that king the monsters
was godzilla's layer his underground layer oh yeah why don't you start talking about the hollow
earth then you start getting into that gets remember I I wrote I know godzilla versus Kong was
that pandemic I think that was like direct to max right I feel like I can't remember like 10
years ago I remember I gave that movie five stars and I was a fine I was crucified for that
star rating you remember that era part I'll be giving five stars to godzilla versus Kong
oh yeah the high-end three stars that's a classic review from old pro written in directed by
ham sandwich that was what are your best ones yeah no so I'm I'm enjoying the journey again
because I think we got we got one coming up soon right the next yeah it's like
gazila minus zero or something it's like another reboot has nothing to do with shin godzilla
for some reason wait what they reboot these godzilla movies every five years
legendary pictures oh legendary I don't know anything about that no
is that all legendary does is godzilla movies and didn't yeah see thank you kept
godzilla x Kong one bro thank you I knew there was another one is that oh it's an Apple TV show
oh god no that's a post-apocalyptic every freaking show and Apple Apple plus post-apocalyptic
can anyone name ten non post-apocalyptic shows in Apple TV plus some it's not I dare you
godzilla x Kong is not the Apple TV show there's two different things happening we got to move on
we're running at a time that's all I watched this week that I want to talk about what about the
Ferrari trailer you watch my god you seen this um you know I was already excited because I love
Adam driver and man but the two of them teaming up to tell the Enzo Ferrari story uh I was very
excited about and then the teaser it's just the teaser we don't have the full trailer yet but the
teaser trailer for this movie it just had my hair standing on the back of my neck I'm so excited
for this film the the car racing looks incredible um it really felt like um grand pre the old grand
pre-movie kind of edging that it was just I'm very excited for this film okay but did you see the trailer
for this I did Adam driver looks like he's in an SNL skit as Ferrari it's I've only seen the poster
bit it I can see that we can Michael man hasn't put a lot of movies out recently black hat was the
most reason one from 2015 I don't know I hear people say that that's like good actually but it's a
2.9 on letterbox what's black hat is that the one with him's worth Chris Hemsworth a man is released
from prison to help American and Chinese authorities pursue a mysterious cyber criminal the dangerous
search leads them from Chicago to Hong Kong it's on Netflix what actor did you just say Thor
Chris Hemsworth then he did public enemies before that and then Miami Vice before that so and then
collateral right before that so the not Michael man's not putting out like movie every year whatever
clutter was like 1989 1989 Tom Cruise Jamie Foxx every week we give out a free year letterboxed patron

Casey says I'm very curious about it because the book sucked oh gosh
whoo strong words from Casey she's she's all one tonight oh my god should we get into our movie
little women 2019 someone has to 70 mm loves women month there's a lot of names that one didn't get
for the grounds no this is Danny's pick part of what's this movie about
megg joe beth and Amy march live in conquered massachusetts with their marmy while their father is
a way fighting in the civil war when it comes to childhood the march sisters have the greatest
gift you could hope for a deep friendship with each other these friendships are cocooned within
the gentle arms of an adoring father and a mother who waters the strengths of each daughter
and when the door opens and they step out into adulthood they find their own way and right
their own story and they can always remember the time when they were little women
one of my favorite Simpson homages which when moe is reading little women to those gals just search
moe little women it's an amazing street job everyone pause search he says they were no longer
little girls they were little women they were little women and then his single tear drops Nana's cheek
I was looking at the first log that I have for little women 2019 and February 11th 2020
we started this show January 23rd 2020 so we were talking about our experiences with little women
and like that was a four five that's insane about what we thought about this yeah I need to see
I don't know what my first log was now probably you have a storied history with little women right
I do we need to retell this story because it's been a long time so we talked about it all right
everyone gather around uh said by the fire yeah little women 1994 starring Susan
Miranda and Winona Ryder and the rest is a picture that I watch many times with my sisters growing up
and it's just one of those you know it's as a sentimental place in my heart I love it I could watch it
now even as we and we'll get into this as I watch this there's you know so much of the dialogue
is similar that I see that movie as I'm watching this one so you say but don't get into it yet
yeah I'm not I'm not I'm getting into it I don't want to hear it I know this is a dumb thing
that makes me funny how when we get into the movie discussion and I tell everyone to hold their
thoughts um yeah the I watched little women 1994 since that initial discussion we had three
years ago um for the letterbox show someone had little women 1994 as one of their for phase so
and I linked to the best scene of the movie which we'll get it we won't get into the next time
before yeah there's a best scene oh my god yeah I mean I was welling up watching YouTube of my phone
reclining on my couch it was like the Wolverine holding the photo
but it was when he says my hands are empty you know what can I give you sort of it's a beautiful scene
in the 1994 movie and we'll get into the this version try to dance straight from the bible Danny
what about you what's your history with little women the movie no I never saw the 1994 version
and I didn't read the book ever so my history is literally in January 2020 seeing credit
girl wigs little women for the first time so I didn't I don't have I don't have a past or nostalgia
say anything else other than what I saw right from Greta nostalgia I think this is probably my first
credit girl wig movie oh you didn't see the lady bird until after a little woman yeah I think so
and I actually don't love lady bird that much listen this weekend little woman wish or excuse me
lady bird was showing and case and I were gonna go there's two showtimes at the one
D in Orlando showing it both completely sold out I haven't seen a sold out theater
like this since like I mean Barbie but that's also Greta but for little I would not we weren't
expecting lady bird to be sold out both showings this weekend but it was and we didn't get to see
it so I was a little bit bummed it's pretty crazy like what we're living through with Greta in like
her prime now what would be like I guess I don't know I hate to make a dude comparison but like
Martin Scorsese when he's doing like good fellows and stuff I'm trying to think of like
untouchable and like mainstream appeal and popularity I wonder like what the parallel would be
in in the last 30 years I just feel like credit is shaman on maybe that's true the shaman
he was pretty hot yeah his run he was hot it's a good phrase put that on the shirt
Danny this was your pick so aren't you lead us off what's on the top of your mind for this
viewing top of my mind was to talk about Greta she's the woman of the hour for us and I
I'd seen lady bird before this so I didn't really have a grasp I mean I know she's only
directed the three movies that I had seen but I didn't have a grasp of who she was even as a
director then to to know that going into this little woman I don't know it's like you go into
like your 17th Spielberg you know what you're expecting so I didn't know what I was expecting
going into little women for the first time and I was I still kind of in awe of the filming of
this the storytelling I think when I think about this the most not just like the performances but
also the the two parallel storylines that are going on and happening side by side I think is
some of the most brilliant storytelling that I've seen in a in a movie I I can't get I can't
get over how how well it's done at least in my opinion how they go from the storyline of the
childhood to storyline of adulthood for the women and I don't I don't think I've ever been kind
of taken back by a director in a while like this has like Greta has done to me in this film.
Yeah I think I saw on the wiki that my copious amounts of research scanning the Wikipedia
but Greta had said that like the little women was an inspiration for her to become a writer
and director yeah really worked hard to get the gig to write it first and then eventually was
approved to be the director yeah I love the dual timeline stuff and I think I have like a vague
recollection of us talking about this a couple years ago about maybe they're potentially being
some confusion at the time like like you couldn't tell what was happening when I didn't have any of
that in this particular viewing the 4k of it is ravishing looking you know the bright yellows
of the the past and the kind of like almost like blue tone of the modern day yeah I it's pretty
crazy in my opinion how how well that stuff works or what do you think yeah I'm not man out I really
don't like the dual timelines and I guess I can just preference any of my opinions with this
episode because I'm so just biased towards the the version that I grew up with that so it might
just be that but I find that it drains the story of most of the dramatic weight that the story has
by doing the timelines and I know like most people don't like that at all right but for me it just
it just doesn't work and I find it kind of like choppy and confusing um and and just not really
my cup of tea but I it is pretty amazing to me the the way this movie looks um the locations that are
used and just the maturity I would say like as a director that Greta seems to have like in terms of
like the way this movie looks I think you could put this up with like Barry Lyndon you know Kubrick's
picture that we watched earlier this year where it's really that beautiful and there's so many
shots that are just just gorgeous and and that are you know a joy to look at like the the beach
sequence is probably my favorite favorite part of the movie um it's just it's just gorgeous yeah
I watched that great interview with Greta and she was talking about the timelines and she was
saying um because I guess the book itself is two parts it's like the the I don't I don't really
know but she was saying that people say that it's like time travel or like a time jump and the way
she described the two timelines where there's two it's basically like two separate films are
happening um you have the the from it's like going in from 1861 and it's starting from there
their childhood and then it's also telling the story from 1868 of their adulthood and it's
really just cutting back in the moment when it kind of collides is the death of Beth which I think
is my favorite uh not obviously you love what she died but I am pro murder um the the the the
two scenes that mirror each other when uh Joe is upstairs with Beth and comes down and and
Beth is at the table with Marmy and then for it to cut to adulthood and she comes down the
stairs and she's not there like those that two scenes I think uh I mean I'm just welling up
watching those performances and how it how it just mirrors itself in the two timelines
and I think it's it I'm gonna say it multiple times this episode but it's brilliant work
yeah yeah I love that I actually even forgot that the framing of those two scenes on this rewatch
um and then right after we're talking about like the beauty this movie the the shot where she has
um the conversation with Teddy Lori on the hills like what puddles that shot is gorgeous just
them walking down the hill and you see that like beautiful like vista essentially that they have
there my movement of massages do we have do we need to move that's the question I saw snow on the
ground so I'm not going nowhere I mean if anyone has ever had to hang out with Danny where he had to
wear jacket pants get ready to deal with the biggest curmudgeon on the east coast he looks great though
Proto what about you what what struck you on this rewatch well that vista scene when you're
talking about um how about the the wonka vibes emulating off a timmy in this in this it's weird
it's like he knew he was gonna do wonka back in 2019 it's a prequel yeah there's a prequel I
mean his pants are fantastic in this he has no rear end there was a couple shots where you saw like
him walking away and there's just like a vast black hole where there could be a cheeks there's
nothing going on there yeah and it's like it's like he doesn't have any center of gravity because like
when he turns he would also often lose his balance like he doesn't have enough weight to his his
hindquarters to like you know be grounded enough um he does like these weird like spin moves in
this movie just crack up the up the whole time watching this uh so that stood out to me this time
I would give that actor praise but I don't want the first thing did I give praise to be him uh
sersha Ronan in this movie I had to look it up she's been nominated for an academy award four times
and she lost four times what I don't even want to talk about who she lost to and little women
we're not going to talk about it we'll talk about in the uncut episode for supporters only
if you want that kind of juice from Danny um she is unreal in this film she's such an amazing
actor she like radiates when she's on screen I want to be best friends with her I want to be best
friends with Joe I want to hang out I want to get mixed up into potentially loving her and she
not loving me and having to deal with the fallout of that over the years um yeah I just couldn't
get enough of her and I like I still couldn't believe like that there's articles out there that
she was nominated four times she didn't win for anything and I do agree that some of the people
that she lost to is kind of bunk but yeah and I and I guess that kind of drifts into one of my other
main points but sersha is amazing in this uh the cast in this movie is nuts yeah Laura Dern Merle
Streep Eliza Scanlan Emma Watson Flell Florence Pew um and our king Bob Odin Kirk we'll get into
him don't don't get into him yet we'll get into him I mentioned to talk about him with you guys
but the the cast is incredible in this looking back I mean looking back three years I think it's
crazy to see that this cast was all together I can't even imagine what we'll think 10 15 20 years
from now um but there's just something about the cast and the characters that they play that
there's like more love in this movie than maybe 99% of movies I've seen like you want to hang out
with this I want to be friends with this family like when Marmy invites uh Teddy into like when
Teddy's at the house and he sees them for the first time kind of like all interacting as a family
and there's just so much love in the house and so much love to give from the house to him who is
essentially a stranger it it's like it's like this emotional magnetism that this cast radiates
in the movie I couldn't get over watching it it's like every scene you care about them in ways
that aren't just so difficult to pull off and it just has to do with the talent of the writing
but also the talent of the cast I thought when there's I guess there's two
Sertia and um Merrill when they found out that Greta was doing um little woman both said that
they're Sertia told her she's gonna be Joe March and Merrill Shriep said she's definitely
gonna be in the movie so it's like you have these people who are just like we're doing this
because we love it just like Greta takes the takes the directing role because and writing
role because she loves a little woman but you watch every performance in this film from I mean
even down to even Chris Cooper and oh yeah he's great it's just you can you know when you watch a film
when everyone that is working on it loves what they're doing and they have they're pouring their
passion into the characters that they're portraying and every scene just kind of even when it's sad or
emotional or happy or it's it's something going on the weight of whatever is there is it's just
kind of coming out of the screen the the the scene that you just said about Teddy coming in on
the marches when he first interacts with the entire family in one room and he kind of just kind of
sits back in in all of them as a family that's how I feel like when I watch this film just sitting
back and I'm just in awe of this cast this crew and just the love that this movie was given
proto wow anything anything to add or not in agreement I'm not all right proto not we'll take it
how about Amy's skill level at painting did you notice what she was painting like she looks like
she could be the most popular painter in the country at that moment she's amazing she's not getting
too looks because she's a woman yeah but she's brilliant uh what else Danny jumped out of you
on this feeling I think another I don't want to talk about like every scene in this film but I
think the score at this movie is underrated I don't think I've actually sat and listened to it
until just recently and I think it's it's an absolutely beautiful score throughout the whole thing
and it really resonates with me this time around
yeah it fits if it's perfectly for the movie the um the one thing I'll give a critique uh to
join proto side for this for this viewing I was trying to think of how the relationships ended with
um Amy and Teddy getting together and I think there's if I have one critique that
Teddy and Amy's relationship to start off the movie it almost happens so fast for the movie that I
like I still can't like grasp them marrying by the end of the journey if that makes sense because
like their relationship starts in the future like present day really but I'm still so invested in
Teddy and Joe's relationship that their eventual marriage still almost feels like quite a shock
as a viewer and I couldn't really tell if it was that like what's the line um economic
uh I wrote it down somewhere an economic proposition it is marriage and I was trying to think like
is Teddy really in love with her or is this him like giving into that economic proposition that
she talked about part do you have any thoughts on on their relationship in that storyline
yeah yeah that's a good point because I felt the same way it feels rather uh ambiguous they don't
you don't really get to see into how both of them feel and maybe that's just by design I don't
know what it's like in in the novel um but I agree because they have that conversation and then
you know they agree to get married and you're and you're kind of wondering but maybe that's
maybe that's what they're going for because you know we often tell ourselves one reason that we're
doing something or we might say it's this one reason but it's actually there's multiple reasons why
at the end of the day why we do something and we just kind of uh describe it as one so
Marcy and Chats says I think this version does the best at making their relationship believable
one of the things that Greta said in the interview I watched with her was telling the story on how
each sister ends up with someone else and she was saying her one of her reasonings for having um
the movie start with Joe writing so that they she can introduce Friedrich right away
so that she can show some sort of relationship with Friedrich in the beginning of the film so it
didn't feel way too out of place at the end I wish they showed a little bit more of the New York
City backstory between the two of them in the middle somewhere um but that well now I'm talking
myself out of it because they don't really get together at the end necessarily um but all this is to
say the Joe Teddy stuff is probably my favorite part of the movie everything that they do together the
way they act together when she gives him that ring oh my god and before that Amy makes fun of his
ring yeah years later the scene where they're dancing else on the deck I mean you can't beat it
no you just can't beat it I want to go dancing right now just thinking about that scene it's so good
I every scene where I honestly pull for Joe and Teddy to get together every time I watch this
film because I feel like it's it's what I want it's what the viewer wants but I like I
watch every every scene through uh teary eyes with them two together they're they're magic on
screen her search on Timothy I I I can't get over how good they are um but the scene on the
hillside is is a top tier scene with the two of them uh with Teddy pouring his heart out and
Joe just basically laying it out saying it's not for her and I just I can't get over that scene
Teddy hiding in the jackets remember they're voting on if they let him into the oh my gosh
girl's only club yeah yeah yeah another five star scene with the fam
god should we get in a Bob Odin Kirk right now this is what the people want
proto Bob Odin Kirk his father march get into it arriving from the war I know people were gobs
smacked to see regular Joe Bob Odin Kirk fathering these these wonderful women what do you think
I crack out every time he comes on screen all I think of when I see him in this is the Steve
Buschemi skit um you know hello fellow kids it's like hello fellow citizens of 1860 New England
I am a father it's just like he's like straight out of the 20th century um so it's just
aside he has those sideburns though he's got those ancient sideburns sideburns not enough for you
it's not enough with Bob I love Bob Odin Kirk as the dad what better man to have fathered these
loving girls funny vivacious it's Bob Odin Kirk regular Joe just like me you know not some kind
of sexy you know it's not John hit get your John Hams out of my little women okay John Hams
no father march thank you I need to edit that one are you pro Bob Odin Kirk or negative
it's because I don't have I don't have any I don't have any sort of reactions to Bob Odin Kirk
I always found it funny that people did it didn't bother me when it happens and I guess I don't
know it's really funny it wasn't a big deal to me well one thing I wanted to bring up is I think I
noticed it more of this feeling but um and you were kind of mentioning this of the relationship
between the characters of Amy and Teddy uh the little women 1994 version chose to have Amy played
by two separate characters Kirsten Dunne's as the younger version and then an older version Amy
played by different actors and to me it kind of it helped to create more of a divide and of knowing
these two characters um and make it more believable to me Florence pew like her she all she has
like a deep voice already that she is not believable to me in any way as young Amy so I always so it's
it kind of cracked me up whenever she's performing as like this younger version I don't know how old
she's supposed to be but it seems like she's supposed to be like 12 or 13 but I thought like I thought
Florence pew was like 33 she's only like 25 um but the line that cracked me up is when she's
she's making that um footcast she's making the footcast and like all I heard was like I'm making a
mold of my foot for Laurie so he knows I have nice feet like he just sounded like this like she's
trying to be 13 but she's just not pulling it off uh at all and that just that kind of took me out
of it I forgot that they had two different actors playing the role yeah I noticed this time that
she look it looked like they filmed her sitting a lot in those older flashback scenes to almost like
convey some sort of youth um it didn't it didn't necessarily bug me in this feeling but I think Amy's
characters I don't know it's probably like my I don't want to say least favorite because it sounds
like a negative connotation but didn't work as well as the other ones I actually don't I don't like
how they did it in the 94 one I think if they would have cast two different Laurie's maybe I would
have enjoyed it better I think they just don't they just throw like a mustache a little mustache to
make them older with the older Amy it's just I don't know I found that interesting it felt a little
creepy she also has that line I have lovely small feet the best in the family yeah she wouldn't
hurt her ankles uh also she has a funny line too I'm giving a lot of praise now you know I
said something about her but she deserves praise there's also that great speech from Joe
in the attic where she's talking about how she's so lonely and they're talking about like
did I did I screw up not accepting Teddy's proposal you should you know should I go back
but do you love him I care more to be loved I want to be loved that is not the same as loving
you know I just I just feel I just feel like women they they have minds and they have
souls as well as just hearts and they've got ambition and they've got talent as well as just
beauty and I'm so sick of people saying that that love is just all a woman is fit for I'm so sick of it
but I'm I'm so lonely but she still doesn't really say that she loves him do you think Danny that
she was in love with him where she's still just kind of grappling with her desires to be
free and like a writer versus married and tied down um yes I think well yes to um she still has
the desire to be a writer and doesn't want to be tied down but she also wants to be loved
and that's why when Marmy kind of reiterates that it's not the same so wanting love but loving
but loving him back she she just doesn't she doesn't I think she was settling
so that she's not alone she says that I'm so lonely in line right which breaks my heart every time
but um no I don't I don't think she actually I think she loved Laurie as a friend as a best friend
but she was just settling for him to not be alone baby girl just feeling the call of nature
listen Joe we've all been there you're in your early 20s you want love you want to make babies
and then 10 years go by and you find yourself trapped and you're like how did I get here
the call of nature the the one thing that I loved more on this viewing since I'd seen the 1994
little woman was the entire moment where the fam like Friedrich comes over also his scene is
just amazing when he plays the piano in that moment for them but then after he leaves they like
doll her up like oh you love him you love him and I remember thinking that it felt so weird
on first viewing that that was the way that played out but it makes so much more sense to me
having seen the 1994 version where all that stuff was played up legit and that's how it ended
but I liked in this version where you can kind of just see that this is so over the top because
this is like the story version that the publisher wants and like this is the version that he wants
to sell it's not the real version of how things would go part of the do you get any of those vibes
how did you take that scene since you love the 94 version so much yeah it's kind of meta
what they do with that because it's very clearly talking about the book and
all cuts experience of writing the book inside the movie as Joe trying to publish this book
so I do like that it's it's cool how that's done I like the 94 version better though
of course I mean they even do rush through that great line like my hands are empty and it like
doesn't work on any level like in this movie which makes sense because they're just like this is
the fake version Danny anything else on your list you want to get through
I loved the scene which I found out later that it was pretty much directly from the book where
um Marmy sitting with Joe on the floor and she Joe says something more like uh I don't know what
Joe says but Marmy responds to her about her being angry nearly every day of her life I liked that
idea that we see Marmy throughout this entire film who is nothing but a loving caregiver to the
girls to neighbors to the strangers strangers um and we never want to kind of see her have any sort
of anger towards anyone um or lash out or um whatever but then she confides or at least confesses
to Joe that she's near she's angry nearly every day of her life and I found that interesting
that she has not uh she just has that kind of in her because it's it's just it's it was just like a
nice little layer to Marmy that I loved um it's what's it's it's one of the scenes that I love a lot
love Marmy want to hang out in this house eat some dinner in this house you know
you know I want everything about it apparently they built this house for the movie right
can we air be and be it that's pretty much all my list per do you have anything else you want to add
yes so how did they how do they carry Beth's body out of the room while Joe is sleeping in the chair
was that a really it's a good question right like was that the same thing yeah you've never slept
through anything big the moving of my my dead sister no don't wake her she's she used to say she
died in that room okay degree all right here we go she went downstairs to breakfast
while I'm gonna shoot it no we triggered him he's triggered listen I'm just answering questions
that were poised I love the scene of Joe writing her story in the attic and placing all the pages
on the floor by candlelight that's a beautiful scene the no sky oh mod
hmm the uh uh uh the so the ending the very end of the movie
god the moment where and they don't share this at all but there's in this this kind of like
montage moment it flashes back to when the girls were like under 10 playing like tea together
and playing in the attic oh my god Greta is a monster for that like you feel that in your gut
I felt like I felt I I felt my childhood flash before my eyes and like the bitter sweet memories
that are fleeting that I don't know even thinking of my child it's weird as you get older
you know the the memories even now that felt vivid before are are feeling like they're
beginning to blur that it's hard to remember almost much of anything my child it's so weird um
but that scene kind of like communicates that like longing that you you have for those memories
and like that time and like the thought of just if you could go back for just one day um
and so I mean that to me that's an amazing piece of filmmaking
are you going to remember your 20s when you're 60 you know what are we going to remember
when we're that old fifth moment we're 50 that's not far for you
yeah the ending the book production scene also incredible the long shot of her you know thinking
of all those things and reacting to multiple thoughts yeah I love the ending I love the meta
textual stuff in this I mean really it's like a precursor for Barbie getting crazy um I still
had an amazing time on this rewatch loved it love everyone involved in this movie loved everyone
involved in the production the costumes or nuts um I'm still five stars for a little women never
19 god bless I'm three stars oh god just like that still was not only before yeah you know I'm
over the years I can't I when I when I hear the lines I see the scenes of this movie I just see
94 in its place and I and I kind of and it just tarnishes my view oh I wanted to ask you guys
that is there a movie like that that you can think of where there was like a remake and it's not
like the remake was bad but it's just that you liked a previous version so much better doon
I'm I just googled popular remakes I don't think I have that connection with anything off the top
of my head because some of these movies like I don't know these don't make any sense to me
no I can't think of anything some of these lists have like the thing but I mean who's who's
watching the thing remake thinking they're gonna get something as good as that nobody I can't
think of anything else I think you're rare breed with that 1994 little women double VHS there's
12 of them does it there are there's a lot of versions of this movie Marcy S is proto picking little
women 1994 for next week ice ice ice can you imagine Danny I'm going through my list real quick
I like the delivery of when Laurie is with Amy and he says you look beautiful and then the
pausing says you are beautiful I thought that was a good delivery online I want to be great or
nothing love that and I loved I do love the the writing Joe as Luis May the ending was cool
because that mirrors her life publishing the book where she did fight to keep the copyright
and the higher percentage and two weeks after the book was released little women sold out completely
and it's never gone out of print sense which is unreal I loved that and I like that she kind of
wolf that true story into this movie I I love this movie so much I watched it today I'd
watch it with Casey this week or a couple days ago and I just kind of sit very like
teary eyed watching this film I there's so much about how it's made how it's performed how it's
told I mean Greta I don't know if I said it but she's definitely on my
Mount Rushmore of directors I think I love everything I don't I don't know that she's missed
for me I don't know I mean I love Lady Bird we know how we feel about Barbie and this movie for me
this is my favorite of hers she's she's just someone that I'm gonna always follow and I put this
on my top four I can't like honestly this is one of those films I feel like I can't live without
it's just it's a movie that I'm I know I'll watch at least once a year for the rest of my life
at Christmas time I know my daughters love it I love that they love it and watch it and so yeah
this is this is a four star five star in my top four and I mean I'm just I love this film
Mount Rushmore month I don't know the spiritual sequel coming this year
wonka wonka not delayed suspiciously still coming out this year you do the math
