#her book but luckily the internet and interviews with the director of the movie proved me right

I recently watched “Little Women” and I didn’t know it would be that saddddd.

Also Jo totally should’ve been aroace! I related to so much she was going through just for it to (slight spoiler!) end in a romance again….

#starrytalking #like she could’ve been such great rep #and then she just isn’t and ‘finds someone who accepts her as she is’ #this was so unnecessary‚ why couldn’t they just let her be happy without a partner but with ger writing and friends and family :/ #second note‚ after some time: ok I know now that that’s not entirely true #so Jo (do I need to do a spoiler warning again) in the second Little Women book apparently marriages this professor dude but the author #originally said she wanted her to be a “literary spinster” kinda like herself but then got pressured by readers so much that she gave her #this rando as love interest #and the director wanted to stay true to what the author originally wanted so while we see Jo kiss this dude on screen and kinda live with #him in this idealised idea of the future she 'in reality’ doesn’t do that and that’s only what she wrote in her book #because the book is about her and her sisters life just like the overall movie but in the end we see the printing dude telling her to marry #her main character (basically herself) to someone for the book to perform better (sorta what happened to the author of little women herself) #so actually Jo doesn’t get married but gets to be happy with publishing her book and loving with her family ect. and the whole forced #“romance” with the professor is just a marketing thing for her book that she eventually agrees on #this made me feel very much better about the end of this movie that at first shattered me #and yes I just recently had a heavy discussion with someone who didn’t believe my theory of Jo not actually getting married but it being in #her book but luckily the internet and interviews with the director of the movie proved me right #aromantic #aro #asexual #ace #lgbtqia+ #little women #movie #jo march #slight spoilers
