Just been killing my boyfriend in a temple!’ Two days later, we started filming, and I just remember it being very normal, and all very happy, and almost like I hadn’t missed a day.” I missed that and it was like, ‘Oh, God, what if they’re already best friends, and I’m like the outsider?’ I show up, ‘Hey, two weeks late. “They’d already done about two, three weeks of rehearsal. “So, I arrive late,” she said with a laugh. Pugh says one of her favorite things about her work is bonding with a new “family” on each project, and “Little Women” seemed like the kind of thing that would only really work if she and co-stars Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, and Eliza Scanlen became like a family. Scheduling was so tight between “Midsommar” and “Little Women” that she had to miss the early weeks of rehearsal on Gerwig’s film, showing up fresh off Aster’s grief-stricken cult feature.
That’s why I’ve been sad for a year.'”Īs her star has risen, Pugh has been forced to jump from project to project with little lag time. I didn’t really think about what I’d just been doing, when ‘Midsommar’ came out, and I watched it for the first time, I was like, ‘O h, that’s why I’ve been sad. I’ve always said that Amy was my therapy after that film. “It was just one of those beasts that took it out of you. I went straight onto ‘Little Women,’ which I’m so glad about, because it meant that I could just be this child for three months. “I did ‘Midsommar,’ and I had a wonderful time doing that, but it was obviously a stressful film to shoot,” she said.
LITTLE WOMEN MONOLOGUE HOW TO
She’s in that sweet spot of not knowing how to deal with her emotions, not knowing how to channel them, not knowing how to say that she’s upset.” “I feel like that’s constantly what Amy is jumping between. “We forget that Amy is in that sweet spot of nearly looking like an adult but being a total child, and I think every single woman has been in that situation where they are probably 12 but they could look 14, 15, then all it takes is for you to say one thing and you sound like you’re 10 again,” she said. Pugh was 22 when she played the character, but she was able to tap into Amy’s spirit in a way that informs the adult she becomes over the course of the film. When Alcott’s book opens, Amy is just 12 years old. We want to be headstrong, we want to be stubborn, we want to know what’s right, we want to earn our own money, and we want to be the first woman that does that.” I want her to be more than just the pretty young sister who’s a brat who burns the book and gets the guy,'” Pugh said. “That’s what people really know her as. It’s so easy to appreciate and adore Jo because she represents everything that we want to be as people. “When I first met her, she was like, ‘I really want Amy to be more. Pugh said Gerwig had big ideas about Amy from the start. She’s never had to argue as to why she needs to marry rich.” The actress, however, was intrigued about playing someone so many people have long “love-slashed-hate.” “I remember when I first told my friends that I was playing Amy, they were like, ‘Oh, that’s the one I hate,’ which is fine, because that’s the only thing that we’ve known her for,” said Pugh in a recent interview with IndieWire. With another winning performance from Florence Pugh, the “Midsommar” and “Lady Macbeth” star who seems destined to earn the “breakout” title in every film she stars in, we finally have a course correction on decades of Amy animosity. Thanks to Greta Gerwig’s revelatory “Little Women,” that’s all changed.
LITTLE WOMEN MONOLOGUE SERIES
'Little Women' Director Gillian Armstrong Praises Greta Gerwig's New Version, Pulls for #GretaForOscarĢ023 Emmy Predictions: Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Series 'Little Women' Review: Greta Gerwig Marries Tradition With Meta Modernity in Stunning Adaptation While she’s been played by many gifted actresses over the years - including a memorable turn by Kirsten Dunst in Gillian Armstrong’s 1994 version and, most recently, by Kathryn Newton in the 2017 PBS miniseries - she’s remained a particularly tough nut to crack. The baby of the March brood has long been viewed as a flighty, spoiled young thing who makes off with some of Jo’s most beloved possessions (a trip to Europe, classical arts training, first love Laurie). Oldest sister Meg has more traditional ideas about how she’d like to spend her life, while middle sister Beth is dedicated to caring for others (just like their angelic mom Marmee) and loving her family as best she can for as long as she can.Īnd then there’s Amy. Alcott surrogate Jo is the book’s primary heroine, an ambitious young writer desperate to make her own way in the world.
“ Little Women” drew its battle lines in 1868, when Louisa May Alcott lovingly turned her own family and childhood into what would become her signature novel.
