Over the break I saw the movie Little Women. While I admit that the main reason I wanted to see the movie was because Timothée Chalamet was starring in it, I actually enjoyed if for more than that. It was a nice alternative to the movie I was originally meant to see that day, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Pop culture seems to be saturated with action-packed movies that all follow a similar storyline making them beyond predictable. Little Women is an exception to this and the movie was even good enough to make me want to read the book, which is quite honestly saying a lot. The main character Jo March is an inspiration to any woman that considers herself a feminist. At the end of the movie, Jo does not end up with a man, a refreshingly realistic ending that most writers are too afraid of. Too afraid that it won’t sell or be a success. But all of the film’s awards nominations as well as its rotten tomato grade prove otherwise.
