I really wanted to watch the book before I read the movie, unfortunately I ended up not having time so I watched the movie 1st. Both movie and book being coming of age stories, I felt it was empowering and inspired women to make a life for themselves and there are constant themes, messages, poems, alliterations that say this.I love this movie because its not cliche, and although everyone wants Jo to marry Laurie, life is not like that, it doesn't give you the "ideal or most favorable" situation. Therefore, fans need to be excpeting of the fact and not give this movie a bad grade just because of this ( which i know a lot of people did).
