LittleWomen's Greta Gerwig addresses the hierarchy of stories in Hollywood for V.F.: 'I think that the top of the hierarchy is male violence. If you look at the books and films and stories that we consider to be 'important,' that is a common theme.'
script that are truly just fictionalized by me. The scene has its basis in research, but the language is generated by me. Almost everything from the movie is either directly verbatim from the novel or from something else Louisa May Alcott wrote—a letter or a journal or another book.This discussion I’m having Amy and Jo have is, in some ways, my thesis. Or at least part of my thesis.
I am in agreement with Amy here, not Jo—I believe that writing about something makes it important. I think Louisa May Alcott, whether she knew it or not, made the ordinary lives of girls and women extraordinary by turning her pen to them. I still think we very much have a hierarchy of stories. I think that the top of the hierarchy is male violence—man on man, man on woman, etc.
The line “It’s just about our little life” is taken from correspondence that Louisa May Alcott had about the book. She truly wasn’t sure it was very good or very worthy, and she dismissed it when questioned about it as “moral pap for the young.” Writers aren’t always the most reliable judge of what they’ve done.
The very last two lines, about Amy being wise, aren’t directly from the book, but they are an extrapolation of one of my favorite lines of Amy’s—she says, “I don’t pretend to be wise, but I am observant.” That was one of the lines that I underlined and put little stars and exclamation points around because it was another key to the puzzle of Amy.
