WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU LADIES? the sad thing is that i think this happened to me too. i was SO proud (plus stupid and young) and thought i could do better and basically dissed a very good friend of mine. big mistake i think cuz now i wonder "what could've been" :(
i think i even told him "but we'd fight all the time" wth?!
rofl I loved your comments on the vid!! They cracked me up!
I always remember reading the books and realizing that Kevin Sullivan practically stole the proposal from Little Women and vice versa...never realized how similar the two were to each other though!
lol. I just watched little women and immediately thought of anne and gil. It was so ridiculously similar. And the reasons for the proposals too, because someone close to them got married first and gave them the idea.
Gil and Laurie- friend who wants to be more than a friend
Proposal- almost exactly the same...
Refusal- undoubtedly the same...for the same reasons
Comeback? Not for Laurie and Jo, but...Gil get's scarlet fever...Beth gets scarlet fever...Gil challenges Anne to write about Avonlea...Professor Bhaer challenges Jo to write about her family...OMG LUCY MAUD MONTGOMERY PLAGAIRIZED LOUISA MAY ALCOTT (and both of their first and middle names start with L and M!!! AHHHH!!!)
I actually found this very funny even though I love both movies and Gil does get Anne in the end. I cry when both Teddy and Gil are denied. I also hoped Jo would come around and realze she loved Teddy. And anyone who thinks Jonathan Crombie isn't attractive is CRAZY! He's adorable and perfect as Gil! I <3 Christian Bale too!
I've always thought there were some similarities in those two scenes, but wow! That is crazy. This was an awesome compilation! Thanks for posting such a great video! :)
AND anne and jo are writers AND both girls end up writing about their lives AND both girls meet a dashing debonier man abroad as their true lovers (gilbert/lawrence) predicted
BAHAHA! Very funny. I was just watching Anne of Avonlea and throughout the whole scene of the charity function when Morgan Harris proposes I was screaming 'DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE AS JO, ANNE!'
lol I love this video!!!!! I adore the Anne of Green Gables series beyond belief, and hate Little Women, one because they triumphed in the end, and the other because apparently Louisa May Alcott thought Teddy wasn't good enough for Jo (a completely inaccurate estimation).
yes I always thought montgomery must have got the idea from little women, and even the book my brilliant career written at the same time uses the same scene.
@katievhoneychurch The scenes in the books aren't similar at all, and Jo and Anne have totally different reasons for rejecting their suitors. But it is entirely likely that the director for 'Little Women' based a lot of that scene off of the already made sequel to 'Anne of Green Gables' :)
Haha, these movies seems to be so similar with proposals x) But remember but in those books it went differently :D At least when Gil asked Ann to marry him ;)
@imasinnerimasaint My goodness, your'e right :D Forgive me ANNE ^^ But it might be because I am a Finn and I've read both of those novels in Finnish ;) Anne is ANNA in Finnish.
@zallalla IT IS ANNE WITH AN E! have u even read all the books; if you haven't you should know from the movies. I know she still says it in the 3rd book still.
@juvianah Someone commented the same thing to me earlier :D I apologize but I am from Finland and I've read those books in Finnish :) I've read all eight of them and watched the serier. Anne is actually Anna in Finnish version and there was the same thing with letter A. My bad, but that's because of the translated version in Finnish :)
little women might have been written first but anne of green gables the movie was made way before little women the movie so people who are saying that they copied its untrue. This is a typical proposal scene in old movies. I mean, look at pride and prejudice, and anne of a thousand days
The scene where Gilbert finds out Anne's trying to get published is practically ripped out of the book, Little Women word for word, Whoever wrote the Anne movie must have been out of ideas.
Hahah this was awesome!!!!!!!! I love these two movies, especially Anne of Avonlea. It's amazing how similar the two proposals were!!! And I loved your little comments, that was great. Thanks for making this, I really enjoyed it!!!! :) :)
wow, crazy resemblance...and you know in the book teddy was about to jump off the bridge...although obviously he didn't.
gilbert cracks me up though, i can't for the life of me understand why they chose this bumbling guy to play him. isn't he supposed to be....oh, i dunno, actually attractive?
@readthesecomments Really? I think the exact opposite. I've always found Jonathan Crombie to be amazingly attractive, whereas Christian Bale's looks just scream ASSHOLE.
@Monkeykelci There's an Anne of Green Gables video clip with Apologize as the backing song which opens with the "sorry" bit. :c) If you ever want to see it without having the time to watch the whole movie...
@Monkeykelci that's so funny! I am Canadian and I have said "sorry" the same way as Gil my whole life, everyone here does! I only noticed it was weird when I started reading comments about he says it with an accent!
@readthesecomments seriously? but jonathan crombie IS attractive. his looks are definitely what most people would consider 'handsome'. maybe from these short scenes of him in the clip it wasn't that apparent, but try watching the whole movie or the first movie.
@readthesecomments actually attractive? I'm sorry but I disagree! Jonathan Crombie is sooooooo adorable as Gilbert I think he was the perfect choice! And the chemistry between him and Megan Follows is outstanding!
@readthesecomments I used to have a major crush on Gilbert about ten years ago. He's adorable. (N.B. Only the first two AoGG movies exist in my universe, so if he's not adorable in No. 3., I don't care.)
you are kidding me right?? gilbert is the single most romantic, realistic character of all time, i ADORE him!! I think jonathan crombie played him just exquisitely! couldn't have cast a better actor. have you read the books?? plus, he IS very attractive, I think he's just as handsome as christian bale is..if not even more charming too! and i am a huge bale fan so that's saying a lot..
@readthesecomments Just finished reading the book again, Teddy wasn't going to jump off anything and there was no bridge, they were at the style in the gate, like in the movie. He did rush down the meadow to the river and Jo had a sudden fleeting fear he would do something rash like throw himself in the river, but he only threw himself in the rowboat and rowed vigorously upstream.
Human nature hasn't really changed over the centuries, which is why stories told back then can be remade into films today and still have a large audience. So that part of your argument is spot on.
What I find fascinating is the same unique phrases are used in both these films. Too many to be a coincidence.
this was a clever video. i was thinking the exact same things whenever I watch either of these scenes.
can anybody confirm this for me... I always thought when Gilbert said "build your castles in the sky" that that was an actual REFERENCE to Little Women. Isn't it in that book that Jo and her sisters play at "imagining their castles in the sky" (all the things they want and dream for)? Or am I getting my books mixed up?
I was so upset when I read the book (and saw the film) and Jo refused Laurie. Those two were meant to be together. I felt like the whole time the audience was being set up to believe in the two ending up together.... only to be let down. :(
I hate that Jo and Teddy don't get together! That has always kept Little Women from being one of my favorite books. They are meant for each other, and L. M. Alcott only kept them apart because the book's mostly autobiographical and she didn't want her hubby thinking she was wishing she HAD married her childhood flame. These two characters are so clearly trying to get together, it is unnatural for them to be separated.
I wholeheartedly agree. I literally couldn't finish "Little Women" for weeks after I read the part where she refused his proposal. Then I was hoping that Jo would be like Anne and realize later on that she did love Teddy, but nope...And then he marries her sister and...oh, it was just too much.
I thought that Louisa May Alcott never married. Her original plan was that Jo *never* married and she only changed her opinion because too many fans wrote in, begging for her to put Jo and Teddy to get together. As a joke she had them marry different people.
@jangmiflower I wouldn't say that Little Women is mostly autobiographical... it's based off of her experiences, yes, but her actual sister Beth died before the Alcotts moved to Orchard House, if I recall correctly. One thing I am certain of is that Alcott did not marry. She was single throughout her life.
Wow, I'm terribly embarrassed, I must have gotten my authoresses mixed up! Or perhaps I just spoke too hastily, imagining myself to be an authority on the subject. I apologize.
EpicFarietale, if you are right, someone should have smacked L.M.A. faster than you can say "Huge Mistake". On the other hand, it totally justifies (in my opinion) the writing of fanfiction that rights Jo's mistake and puts the two together.
I love both of these and have seen them many times... How come I haven't noticed they're this similar... Maybe the makers of little women were inspired to... copy a little :P
Excellent video, I really enjoyed it. I love both movies, and it's always sad to watch the Laurie and Gilbert rejections. I do think Jo should have been with Laurie, though he could have waited for her to become established as an author. I also think Anne was right to wait and choose her career, though it took a near death experience for her to realize how much Gil meant to her. Morgan and Freidrich, while kind, just don't compare to Laurie and Gil. In both scenes, the acting is so realistic!
Wow! didn't realize the dialogue was so similar. Almost thought you put Anne's voice over the part where Jo says they are "both stupidly stubborn". Forgot Anne's was" 2 old crows fighting all the time". Wonder if the screen writer from Little Women was a fan of Anne of Avonlea.
that was a great video. i just finishing reading little women and i was literally just telling my friend last week that when jo rejected laurie in the book, it sounded exactly like when anne rejected gilbert in the movie. i have seen anne of green gables about a million times and it was funny that some of the dialogue was the same almost word for word.
Anyone notice that both Anne and Jo try telling Gil/Laurie that they don't REALLY want someone like them? That's rather presumptuous, don't you think? Especially as Laurie says explicitely in the book that he doesn't like what he refers to as "fuss and feathers" so it's unlikely he really did want someone "elegant and refined". As for Gil wanting someone who will adore him - well, I suppose everyone DOES want to marry someone who adores them, but Anne DOES adore him, so that's not a problem.
This has probably been mentioned a bunch of times already but you should look up the 1949 version of Little Women too. There are a bunch of similarities to that version of the proposal too!
Yes, that would have made a great video, but I didn't have the footage of the other Little Women films at the time that I uploaded this video 2 years ago.
Oh my gosh this mustve taken you forever! Lol it's natural though that proposals should be similar how else would you write it? Just not that similar.... Rofl "you don't know her THAT well"
nah, thats just how things go in these situations. i never realized it until i heard the same crap come out of my mouth, "we fight to much, we'd never work," all that. the scenes are just being realistic.
The part where Jo tells Laurie (at least in the book) about her submitted stories is like the scene where Gilbert asked Anne about her writing the magazine company in Anne of Avonlea as well.And, more coincidentally, don't they also exchange secrets and Gilbert tells Anne about Fred & Diana and she feels betrayed in much the same way Jo feels betrayed about the glove and someone coming to take Meg away. Weird, but this is comparing book to movie, but still quite interesting.
This is one of the best videos I've ever seen on You Tube. HILARIOUS! Both how similar the situations were (I never noticed) and the extra commentary. "Don't jump!". ROTFLMAO.
yep, the first time I was watching Anne of Green Gables 2 I was saying to myself... this is Little Women over and over... I'm glad I'm not the only one who made the connection.
This is awesome! "Little Women" is one of my favorite books and movies. I memorized when I was like, 14! "Anne of Avonlea" was playing on PBS the other day and as I was watching the scene in the barn and Anne was swearing that she'd never marry and Gilbert insisted that she would, I said Laurie's line aloud!
Gilbert was talking about how she'd find a guy to read her Tennison and build castles in the sky and in the pause, I added, "And I'll be hanged if I stick around and watch!" haha!
Real Quick if you decide to redit this could you make the captions underneath slightly bigger. I have a 53-old mother and it's a little hard for her to see the captions which are the best part.
elfgirl12 - Gilbert is NOT a jerk! It's kind of bitter, yeah, but he's just had HIS heart broken. Obviously he's angry. Anne is being an idiot, and he knows it. If she really didn't love him, that would be one thing, but they both know she does. Besides which, he doesn't say that in the book. In the book, she says "Can you forgive me?" and he says "There's nothing to forgive. I've just been fooling myself, that's all." The boy is a saint (not literally, but, you know).
Very funny. I HAVE noticed the similarities, and you did a good job putting them up against each other. I also liked your commentary, especially "Are these girls sharing notes?" :)
i love this video! you did a great job and your comments added A LOT of humor. :D

EpicFarietale, if you are right, someone should have smacked L.M.A. faster than you can say "Huge Mistake". On the other hand, it totally justifies (in my opinion) the writing of fanfiction that rights Jo's mistake and puts the two together.
Thanks for the corrections :)

I love both of these and have seen them many times... How come I haven't noticed they're this similar... Maybe the makers of little women were inspired to... copy a little :P

Wow, I never noticed the similarity before.

Excellent video, I really enjoyed it. I love both movies, and it's always sad to watch the Laurie and Gilbert rejections. I do think Jo should have been with Laurie, though he could have waited for her to become established as an author. I also think Anne was right to wait and choose her career, though it took a near death experience for her to realize how much Gil meant to her. Morgan and Freidrich, while kind, just don't compare to Laurie and Gil. In both scenes, the acting is so realistic!
lycanthrope1980 2 years ago
Wow! didn't realize the dialogue was so similar. Almost thought you put Anne's voice over the part where Jo says they are "both stupidly stubborn". Forgot Anne's was" 2 old crows fighting all the time". Wonder if the screen writer from Little Women was a fan of Anne of Avonlea.

that was a great video. i just finishing reading little women and i was literally just telling my friend last week that when jo rejected laurie in the book, it sounded exactly like when anne rejected gilbert in the movie. i have seen anne of green gables about a million times and it was funny that some of the dialogue was the same almost word for word.
mskimberly112 2 years ago
Anyone notice that both Anne and Jo try telling Gil/Laurie that they don't REALLY want someone like them? That's rather presumptuous, don't you think? Especially as Laurie says explicitely in the book that he doesn't like what he refers to as "fuss and feathers" so it's unlikely he really did want someone "elegant and refined". As for Gil wanting someone who will adore him - well, I suppose everyone DOES want to marry someone who adores them, but Anne DOES adore him, so that's not a problem.

I noticed how similar the two stories are when i was younger.
Anne is an aspiring writer... Jo is an aspiring writer...they both face publishing rejections... their best friends fall in love with them...

This has probably been mentioned a bunch of times already but you should look up the 1949 version of Little Women too. There are a bunch of similarities to that version of the proposal too!

The part where Jo tells Laurie (at least in the book) about her submitted stories is like the scene where Gilbert asked Anne about her writing the magazine company in Anne of Avonlea as well.And, more coincidentally, don't they also exchange secrets and Gilbert tells Anne about Fred & Diana and she feels betrayed in much the same way Jo feels betrayed about the glove and someone coming to take Meg away. Weird, but this is comparing book to movie, but still quite interesting.

This is awesome! "Little Women" is one of my favorite books and movies. I memorized when I was like, 14! "Anne of Avonlea" was playing on PBS the other day and as I was watching the scene in the barn and Anne was swearing that she'd never marry and Gilbert insisted that she would, I said Laurie's line aloud!
Gilbert was talking about how she'd find a guy to read her Tennison and build castles in the sky and in the pause, I added, "And I'll be hanged if I stick around and watch!" haha!

Real Quick if you decide to redit this could you make the captions underneath slightly bigger. I have a 53-old mother and it's a little hard for her to see the captions which are the best part.

elfgirl12 - Gilbert is NOT a jerk! It's kind of bitter, yeah, but he's just had HIS heart broken. Obviously he's angry. Anne is being an idiot, and he knows it. If she really didn't love him, that would be one thing, but they both know she does. Besides which, he doesn't say that in the book. In the book, she says "Can you forgive me?" and he says "There's nothing to forgive. I've just been fooling myself, that's all." The boy is a saint (not literally, but, you know).
