first of all, i am extremely frustrated and about to throw things. as people may have been noticing, i post many blogs at the same time, bc my computer will only let me access this website every couple of days…yea, just my luck…now i just wrote a very nice post about rude awakenings after watching the 1933 and the 1949 versions and my “session timed out” and i lost it all. so, the gist of what i was trying to post was that after watching these two films, i’ve been very disappointed. i usually appreciate kathyrn hepburn’s performances, yet besides the scene with marmee (who made me ill just watching her sweetness), and a few select others, i can’t stand her. she made jo even more loud and obnoxious than i could even imagine, and destroyed it even more with cutesy weird faces that are not cute at all. the 1949 version was even more disappointing because i adored that movie (the last time i saw it being when i was 9). as a feisty tomboy, i used to romp over fences, throw snowballs, climb trees, shake hands, use slang (christopher columbus included) and spit. let’s just say that after watching this film again, the rose colored glass memories were shattered. and thank goodness i suppose, but still.
