Thank you for this. I also have always loved this scene--and I like it that Laurie ended up with Amy not Jo, which I know frustrates many people. This is so tender and somehow real. I still haven't seen a movie adaptation that quite does it justice.
That scene is beautiful, I'm sad when adaptations didn't use it at all. Also, I believe is difficult to take care of so many layers of sense on screen, the film had to record too many elements, and right now that is impossible.
I agree with you, Laurie and Amy made a delicious couple, to me, Amy is the right choice.
So, this pic spam inspired me to go on an epic search for pictures of the umbrella scene from Little Women: the Musical, but I had no luck. There's a great song in it called "How I am" sung by Bhaer when he's in New York and Jo is back in Concord and he's coming to realize that he's in love with her.
I had no idea that William Shatner had played Bhaer! Now I'm giggling imagining Jo married to Captain Kirk.
ACH! I wake up in the morning and all that I hear is the absence of sound. Yes! My peace is disturbed but the ruckus is me as my thought run aground. I wanted a life by myself in these rooms. But now all around me another life looms. Who asked her to come and go and to leave me like that? And now she expects me to send her a note? With words, if I spoke, that would stick in my throat! Who asked her to change how I live, how I think, how I am?
