Review:

The story of Little Women has been one of my favorites for as long as I can remember. being such a
huge fan of the Louisa May Alcott novel, I believe that the 1994 movie did it justice. One of the best things
about the movie is it's accuracy with props, language and set. The story takes place in the mid
1800's, and all aspects of the movie from head to foot are on point for the setting. One downside to the movie
version is some of the characters. While watching the movie I could see acting and character differences
from the two, the biggest one being with Claire Danes' character, Beth. In the original story, the youngest sister
is quite, shy and really supportive of her sister, but it seems through character and song choices that Danes
struggled with such a simplistic character.
