First, the move made complete commercial sense. And second, what more could one do with the material? After all, there are adaptations for the screen and the small screen for more than a hundred years.<br><br>Without a doubt, Gerwig succeeds in crafting a new version of the novel (originally, released as two books, combined into \u201cLittle Women\u201d  in 1880). This incarnation stands as an ultimate celebration of Louisa May Alcott\u2019s semi-autobiography. Perhaps it\u2019s ironic that the themes might have greater import now than they did in the years following the  Civil War.<br><br>Alcott\u2019s narrative wove itself into Americana. On a literal level,  it\u2019s the coming of age story of four March sisters, but anyone marginally familiar with it will attest that it is about so much more.  Gerwig\u2019s script tells the tale principally from the perspective of protagonist Jo March (Saoirse Ronan).<br><br>Read Jonathan&#8217;s full review online and in print in the Times-Herald: <a href=\"https:\/\/newnan.com\/2019\/12\/26\/little-women-fresh-and-inventive-approach-sets-this-version-apart\/\">https:\/\/newnan.com\/2019\/12\/26\/little-women-fresh-and-inventive-approach-sets-this-version-apart\/<\/a><br><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greta Gerwig updates classic novel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[1872,1870,40,1079,1871],"class_list":["post-8149","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-reviews","tag-greta-gerwig","tag-louisa-may-alcott","tag-novel","tag-saoirse-ronan","tag-women-in-film","no-thumb"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyfilmfix.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8149","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyfilmfix.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyfilmfix.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyfilmfix.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyfilmfix.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8149"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dailyfilmfix.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8149\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8152,"href":"https:\/\/dailyfilmfix.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8149\/revisions\/8152"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyfilmfix.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8149"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyfilmfix.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8149"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyfilmfix.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8149"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
