‘Little Women’ | Anatomy of a Scene
Greta Gerwig narrates a scene from “Little Women,” featuring Saoirse Ronan and Timothée Chalamet.
“I’m Greta Gerwig, and I directed and wrote the screenplay for ‘Little Women.’” “Jo, would you like to dance with me?” “So this is “Laurie” Lawrence and Jo March. And they’re hiding in a back room at a party, and they’re talking about maybe trying to dance. And obviously, this is Saoirse Ronan and Timothée Chalamet, who I adore.” “You can laugh if you want to. It’s funny, I know.” “I have an idea of how we manage.” “And then they dance. Well, they’re going to dance outside. And it’s the book that Laurie and Jo dance wildly, they say. But I was looking for a hallway while we were scouting. Because it’s in a hallway in the book. And I wanted a long hallway, and I had this idea for how it would look. But I couldn’t find one. And then I just kept coming back to this location because I liked it. And then I came back at night, and I thought, oh, you could see the dancers through the window, and then see them outside as these figures having their little party on the porch. And my choreographer, who’s very wonderful, Monica Bill Barnes— she created this dance with Saoirse and Timothée. And I wanted it to feel both totally modern and period accurate, in terms of I didn’t want them to be doing dances that they wouldn’t necessarily know. But I did want to feel joyful and young, like kids dance. And this is part of the story that takes place in their childhood, obviously. And it has this very snow globe quality. I wanted everything to feel very shimmery and very beautiful. And we shot with a certain filter to give it that feeling. And it has this warmth. We called it this golden glow that we were going for. And every part of it looks like a painting, but also an ornament. And this is, of course, Laura Dern as Marmee. And this is the first time you’re really inside the March house, looking at it through Laurie’s eyes, and seeing this kind of glorious female utopia. And the actors— I wanted them all to be speaking over each other, which took a lot of coordination, a lot of rehearsal to get this choreographed chaos going.” “I enjoy baking in the middle of the night. And don’t mind the clutter, Mr. Lawrence, we don’t.” “Laurie, please.” “But I just wanted it to be this cacophony of words and sounds, and everybody’s doing something, and there’s all these little moments. I looked at a lot of Altman thinking about it. Because he always has a way of creating spaces with lots of people and lots of activity. And I thought one of the beautiful things about ‘Little Women’ is the way the male characters hold the space for who women are without a spectator. And he’s looking at them, but they’re existing naturally, and he loves them because of who they are. And I think Timothée does such a beautiful job, and these girls are so wonderfully loud. And then this kind of position of this magical house that looks like a little mushroom coming out of the ground, but inside it’s like a jewel box when you open it up.”

Yet, young readers flocked to Alcott's hilarious and devastating coming-of-age vignettes showcasing covetous beauty Meg, tempestuous writer Jo, shy musician Beth and self-involved artist Amy. At their core, every movie Greta Gerwig has made so far is a coming-of-age story, focusing on girls finding themselves in a world that makes being a full-fledged and accomplished woman difficult. This is also the only adaptation I've seen to breathe life into decorous Meg (Willa Fitzgerald), the oft-forgotten March sister who chooses to marry and raise a family instead of seeking her fortunes like Jo and Amy. There were different things all throughout her life that I found cinematic and interesting. For her sophomore feature, Gerwig adapted one of literature’s most iconic coming-of-age stories, Louisa May Alcott’s “Little Women.” Gerwig’s take emphasizes the individual journey of protagonist Jo, as she struggles to find herself as a writer in a world where women are expected to only be wives and mothers. Gerwig’s adaptation becomes a masterpiece at the very end, when she reveals what the real triumph is for Jo and hits home by celebrating her mind and ambition and talent. Her films are stories about identity, where the leads wrestle with who they are, and take tentative steps to who they want to be. Her script plays with timelines more than any other version, and in doing so, fashions a story that lands at unexpected emotional beats compared with the original novel and its subsequent adaptations. But the film is effectively the story of how the titular doll wakes up and grows into her own personhood, learning about what it means to be an adult woman in the real world and making the choice to take that leap. And I believe that she hid some of her own artistic ambitions in things that Amy says in the second half of the book. Like Gerwig’s other films, it’s a story where the protagonist’s immaturity and faults are on full display, and the primary tension is whether she will be able to grow into, or at least figure out, the person she wants to be. In interviews, she’s how she encourages her actors to incorporate their own performances into their characters, to acheive a naturalistic end result. And Gerwig’s singular background, as a mumblecore actor and indie darling, informs how she puts together the films that carry her name. Or, that she’s just so interesting (how I watch, say, and am fascinated by Gene Tierney – she’s this incredible character). Florence Pugh and Saoirse are such brilliant actresses but they do come at it so differently… I think they are opposites in some way, but equally powerful… I recently read your piece in Vanity Fair about Jo and Amy discussing writing… I really liked what you said… it’s so interesting – because you said you were worried that your scene was too on-the-nose – for people who haven’t read that, can you discuss that scene, because I do love that you include it in there as sort of a way to have Amy talk to Jo, and, in a sense, Louisa May Alcott too… : Yeah, that scene where she says, “I’m just writing a story about our little life… who’s gonna care about it?” And it’s “not important.” And Amy says, “writing them will make them important.” And Jo, says, “No, no, no writing about it doesn’t confer importance it reflects it.” And Amy [tells her] that’s not true.

Quentin Blakley, a dedicated firefighter, has been on high alert since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in March. His story sheds light on the unique challenges faced by first responders during these unprecedented times, while also touching on the broader issue of mental health in the firefighting profession.

Blakley's daily routine involves close contact with strangers, putting him at increased risk of exposure to the virus. Despite this, he and his family have maintained strict safety protocols, refusing to let their guard down even as restrictions ease in many parts of the country.

The pandemic has added another layer of stress to an already demanding profession. Firefighters like Blakley routinely face dangerous situations and traumatic events, which can take a significant toll on their mental health. The story of David Dangerfield, who tragically took his own life after struggling with PTSD, serves as a stark reminder of the psychological challenges faced by these brave men and women.

"PTSD for firefighters is real," Dangerfield warned before his death, highlighting the need for greater awareness and support within the firefighting community. The nature of the job, where firefighters run towards danger while others flee, can lead to accumulated trauma over time.

The recent event co-hosted by ProPublica, 90.7 WMFE, and the Orlando Public Library brought these issues to the forefront. First responders who were present at the Pulse nightclub shooting shared their experiences with PTSD, demonstrating the long-lasting impact of such traumatic events.

Fire departments across the country are beginning to recognize the importance of addressing mental health issues among their ranks. Chief Roderick S. Williams of the Orlando Fire Department is taking proactive steps to share lessons learned with other fire chiefs from cities that have faced similar traumas, such as New York, Aurora, Colorado, and Boston.

As the firefighting community grapples with these challenges, stories like Quentin Blakley's serve as a reminder of the ongoing dedication and sacrifice of first responders. Their commitment to public safety, even in the face of a global pandemic and personal risk, is commendable.

While the focus on physical safety measures remains crucial during the pandemic, it's equally important to address the mental health needs of firefighters and other first responders. By openly discussing these issues and providing adequate support, we can help ensure that brave individuals like Quentin Blakley can continue to serve their communities effectively while maintaining their own well-being.

His story sheds light on the unique challenges faced by first responders during these unprecedented times, while also touching on the broader issue of mental health in the firefighting profession.

As a firefighter, Blakley's job requires him to interact closely with strangers throughout his shifts, putting him at increased risk of exposure to the virus. Despite the inherent dangers, he continues to serve his community with unwavering commitment. However, the constant vigilance has taken its toll on both Blakley and his family, who have maintained strict safety protocols for months.

The pandemic has added another layer of stress to an already demanding profession. Firefighters like Blakley routinely face life-threatening situations and witness traumatic events, which can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The story of David Dangerfield, who tragically took his own life after battling PTSD, serves as a stark reminder of the mental health challenges faced by these brave men and women.

In recent years, there has been a growing awareness of PTSD among first responders. Events like the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando have brought this issue to the forefront, with many firefighters and paramedics sharing their struggles in the aftermath of such tragedies. Fire departments across the country are now working to provide better support and resources for their personnel dealing with mental health issues.

Chief Roderick S. Williams of the Orlando Fire Department has taken steps to address this concern, planning to share lessons learned with other fire chiefs from cities that have experienced similar traumas. This collaborative approach aims to improve mental health support for first responders and create a more open dialogue about the psychological impacts of their work.

As Blakley and his colleagues continue to navigate the challenges posed by the pandemic, their experiences highlight the importance of recognizing and addressing the mental health needs of firefighters and other first responders. The ongoing crisis serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by these individuals and the need for continued support and appreciation from the communities they serve.

Williams, who supervised many paramedics during the Pulse nightclub shooting, emphasizes the importance of addressing mental health issues in the firefighting community. He plans to share lessons learned with other fire departments across the country, recognizing the need for better support systems and resources for first responders dealing with trauma.

The COVID-19 pandemic has further complicated the already stressful nature of firefighting. Blakley and his colleagues must now contend with the added worry of potentially bringing the virus home to their families. This constant vigilance takes a toll on their mental and emotional well-being.

Despite these challenges, firefighters like Blakley continue to serve their communities with dedication and professionalism. A recent testimonial from a resident in Shrewsbury, England, highlights the positive impact of firefighters' work, praising their helpfulness and professionalism during a Safe and Well visit.

As the pandemic continues, it is crucial to recognize the sacrifices made by firefighters and other first responders. Supporting their mental health and providing adequate resources for dealing with both the immediate dangers of their profession and the added stress of the pandemic is essential for ensuring the well-being of these vital community heroes.
Quentin Blakley, a firefighter on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic, exemplifies the extraordinary challenges faced by first responders during these unprecedented times. While many Americans have found ways to adapt to the "new normal," Blakley and his family have maintained a heightened state of vigilance since the outbreak began in March.

The ongoing pandemic has added another layer of stress to an already demanding profession. Firefighters like Blakley routinely face dangerous situations and traumatic experiences, which can take a significant toll on their mental health. The risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a very real concern for these brave men and women.

David Dangerfield's tragic story serves as a stark reminder of the mental health challenges faced by firefighters. Dangerfield, who took his own life, left behind a warning about the reality of PTSD in the firefighting community. His message resonates with many first responders who struggle to cope with the emotional burden of their work.

The nature of a firefighter's job means they are constantly running towards danger while others flee. This repeated exposure to life-threatening situations and human suffering can have long-lasting psychological effects. As Omar Delgado, a first responder at the Pulse nightclub shooting, put it, "PTSD for firefighters is real."

The stigma surrounding mental health issues in the firefighting community often prevents individuals from seeking help. Many feel pressured to "bottle up" their emotions and carry on as if unaffected. This culture of silence can lead to devastating consequences, as seen in Dangerfield's case.

Fire departments across the country are beginning to recognize the importance of addressing PTSD and other mental health issues among their ranks. Chiefs from cities that have experienced major traumas, such as New York, Aurora, Colorado, and Boston, are sharing information and best practices to better support their first responders.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, firefighters like Quentin Blakley face the additional stress of potential exposure to the virus. Their dedication to serving their communities, despite the risks to themselves and their families, is a testament to their bravery and commitment.

It's crucial that fire departments and communities alike continue to prioritize the mental health of these essential workers. By breaking the stigma surrounding PTSD and providing adequate support services, we can help ensure that firefighters like Blakley can continue to protect and serve while also taking care of their own well-being.

The scene, which showcases Jo and Laurie's tender and often tumultuous relationship, was a highlight of the evening and demonstrated Gerwig's mastery of bringing Louisa May Alcott's beloved novel to life on the big screen.

Gerwig's adaptation of "Little Women" is a coming-of-age story at its core, a theme that has been present in all of her films to date. From "Lady Bird" to "Mistress America," her movies have focused on girls and women navigating the challenges of growing up and finding their place in a world that often seeks to constrain them. "Little Women" is no exception, with Jo March's struggles to become a writer in a society that expects her to prioritize marriage and motherhood serving as a powerful metaphor for the limitations placed on women.

One of the standout aspects of Gerwig's adaptation is her commitment to fleshing out the often-overlooked character of Meg March, played by Willa Fitzgerald. While Jo and Amy March often take center stage, Gerwig's script gives Meg a depth and nuance that is rarely seen in other adaptations. As Gerwig noted, "I was fascinated by the ways in which Meg navigates the expectations placed upon her as a woman, and the choices she makes in pursuit of happiness and fulfillment."

The reading was a testament to Gerwig's skill as a storyteller and her ability to breathe new life into a classic tale. With its innovative use of timelines and its focus on the inner lives of its characters, "Little Women" is a film that will resonate with audiences of all ages. As Gerwig's film makes its way to theaters, it is clear that this adaptation will be a masterclass in storytelling and a powerful exploration of what it means to be a woman in a world that often seeks to limit one's potential.

Gerwig's passion for the project was evident throughout the reading, and her chemistry with Ronan and Chalamet was palpable. As the scene came to a close, it was clear that "Little Women" is a film that will leave audiences feeling seen, heard, and inspired. With its themes of identity, ambition, and the power of the female spirit, it is a movie that will be remembered for years to come.
**Greta Gerwig Brings "Little Women" to Life in a Heartfelt and Cinematic Adaptation**

Greta Gerwig's latest film, "Little Women," is a masterful adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's beloved novel, and a perfect example of the filmmaker's ability to capture the complexities of female identity. In a recent sit-down, Gerwig narrated a pivotal scene from the film, featuring Saoirse Ronan as the fiercely independent Jo March and Timothée Chalamet as the charming but troubled Laurie Laurence.

The scene, which takes place in the March family's cozy attic, showcases the tender and often tumultuous relationship between Jo and Laurie. As the two engage in a heated discussion about their future plans, Gerwig's voiceover provides insight into the nuances of their characters and the world they inhabit.

"What I love about this scene is the way it captures the tension between Jo's desire for independence and her deep-seated need for connection and acceptance," Gerwig explained. "Saoirse and Timothée have such a lovely chemistry on screen, and their characters' complicated feelings for each other are palpable in this moment."

Gerwig's adaptation of "Little Women" is notable for its non-linear storytelling, which jumps back and forth between the March sisters' childhood and young adulthood. This unconventional approach allows the film to explore the complexities of female identity in a way that feels both authentic and fresh.

"I wanted to create a sense of fluidarity between the different time periods," Gerwig said. "I wanted to show how the characters' experiences and relationships shape them into the women they become, and how those experiences are still very much a part of who they are as adults."

One of the standout aspects of Gerwig's adaptation is its thoughtful portrayal of Meg, the often-overlooked March sister. Played by Emma Watson, Meg is a character who embodies the societal expectations placed on women during the 19th century, yet still manages to find her own agency and independence.

"I think Meg is often the most misunderstood of the March sisters," Gerwig noted. "People often see her as the 'pretty' sister, but she's so much more than that. She's a complex and multifaceted character who deserves to be seen and heard."

Gerwig's "Little Women" is a film that will resonate deeply with audiences, particularly young women who are looking for stories that reflect their own struggles and triumphs. With its richly drawn characters, beautiful cinematography, and nuanced exploration of female identity, it's a must-see for anyone who loves literature, cinema, or just great storytelling in general.

As Gerwig so eloquently puts it, "I hope that this film can be a source of comfort and inspiration for young women who are trying to find their place in the world. It's a reminder that they are not alone, and that their stories are worth telling."
