'Little Women' Is a Delightful and Worthwhile Film Adaptation

I already mentioned before in this blog on a few occasions that I’m a Little Women fan boy. I’ve re-read the original novel and its sequels countless of times over, and I’ve seen almost all of its screen adaptations.  Thus, I was definitely not going to miss Greta Gerwig’s film adaptation of it.  And I might be biased here, but I thought it was pretty good.

Fans Ought to See the Modern Retelling of 'Little Women'

Little Women is easily one of my most favorite IPs ever.  Not only have I read Louisa May Alcott’s original novel and its sequels countless of times since I was a kid, but I’ve gone out of my way to see many of its screen adaptations – the films from 1933, 1949, and 1994; the anime series from 1981 and the other anime series from 1987; and the year-end BBC mini-series in 2017.  And thus, it was only imperative for me to watch the latest one that came out in 2018.

This new Little Women movie is not like any of the previous adaptations, for it is a modern retelling.  This means its characters and major plot beats remain the same, but it’s set in our present time.  And for being this kind of novelty, it’s automatically something fans would want to check out.

'Little Women' TV Mini-Series Has Been a Delightful Year-End Treat

Though I’m a male, I’ve loved Little Women ever since I was a kid.   I’ve probably read the novel and its sequels – Good Wives, Little Men, and Jo’s Boys – a dozen times each.  I’ve also enjoyed the 1994 film adaptation and the different anime series adaptations (especially Little Women 2, which was based on Little Men).  I’m a huge fan.

Thus, great was my delight that there’s actually a 3-part Little Women mini-series released on the last week of the year.  Binging it this New Year’s Eve has been a treat.
