Science
fiction and an end of the world scenario: Contagion, It Comes at Night, 12 Monkeys, or the Walking Dead - like many others curiosity drove my choices of what to watch at the start of
this pandemic. A compelling watch but with days upon days of isolation, I couldn't without flipping out. Laying low from
negativity such as news, social media, and in my case certain movie genres is indeed good advice. Since then the movies or TV series I’ve seen to name a few are: Money Heist, Star Trek the Next Generation, All the President’s Men, and The Last Dance. Actually I am surprised to be relying more YouTube than the movies I have on file.
Still
cautiously avoiding just the one genre, for this week’s entertainment I
traveled to a bygone era via a light hearted period piece from the 2020 Oscar Best Picture nominees.
The March sisters looking at the Laurence house
Little Women, the classic Louisa
May Alcott’s tale said to be based on author’s own family, has been made and
remade at least 10 times, I was old enough to remember only 2 movies that included this latest
one. I never saw or read the story, until now.
