Greta Gerwig and Little Women
[edit]Let's take a look at the filmmaker behind 2019 Little Women, Greta Gerwig. Gerwig is an American writer, actress, and director. A few of her previous works include, 2012 Francis Ha, 2015 Mistress America, and 2017 Lady bird. It wasn't until 2019 when Gerwig grabbed the helm once again to take on her adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's 19th century novel Little Women. Gerwig born Greta Celeste Gerwig was born and raised in Sacramento California. As she got older, she dreamed of attaining a degree in musical theater, but instead worked toward a degree in English and Philosophy. Soon after, Gerwig set her sights on becoming a playwright, but after meeting Joe Swanberg a young film director, she went on to star in a series of low budget movies that would go on to be called, "mumblecore". [1] "Greta Gerwig loves the book Little Women. You know this in your bones when you watch her new film adaptation" [2] Gerwig truly makes this her own, and makes more than just another adaptation. In an interview with NPR'S Michael Martin, Girwig speaks very fondly of her experiences with the novel, and was more than excited to create her adaptation. She goes on to say that Little Women has always been a part of her, even though she is unsure of when she first encountered the novel. [3] In 2019, when Gerwig was asked to take on the task of yet another Little Women adaptation, she was more than obliged to take on the challenge. In fact after being asked what drove her to adapt the novel now, Gerwig states in an interview with TIME magazine, "I've been waiting 30 years!" [4] In the same interview, Gerwig explains that Little Women had to initially be read to her, but she doesn't remember a time that she was unfamiliar with Jo March. She also goes on to explain how influential the character of Jo was to her growing up. "I don’t know if I wanted to be a writer, which is why I liked Jo March, or Jo March was a writer so I wanted to be a writer too." [5]"The music and cinematography are stunning and the attention to detail with every costume and set is meticulous. The film manages to be both breathtakingly new yet as cozy as your favorite afghan." [6]

Edits to lead of Little Women (2019 film)
[edit]You have made two edits to Little Women (2019 film) to add information into the lead about another film, "Lady Bird", which involved some of the same people. If connections to that film are relevant and WP:DUE, then they need to be sourced to reliable sources and first added to the main body. The lead paragraphs should information that is a significant part of the main article. The content you are adding about Gerwig's previous film is discussed in the production section ("Gerwig had worked with Ronan and Chalamet in her solo directorial debut film, Lady Bird"), but it is not discussed extensively because it does not seem very important to the film the article is about. I think you would need to expand how that is relevant to the film Little Women in the main body before adding any of to the lead. Please also avoid adding WP:PEACOCK adjectives and phrases as well, as those are generally inappropriate for encyclopedic content. Thank you. – wallyfromdilbert (talk) 02:12, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
