Timothée Chalamet and Florence Pugh on heartbreak and true love

Well, I think Amy's loved him from the very beginning and I think that something that Greta did so well was the constant flashback to just proving every single time these adults did anything in their life they were constantly thinking back to the past and that's how we all tap into nostalgia and I think one of the things that you've got to see all the way through Amy's life is just how much she's adored him from such a young age to then as a grown woman and I also think, we were discussing this the other day you know, Laurie and Jo have constantly been, well especially in this version been kind of described as similar people and other halves of one another and so Saoirse and I were quite shocked to realise that Amy's loved essentially Jo's other half and how those parallels are quite interesting and obviously later on in their life she becomes like an educator to him she keeps him in shape and she keeps him, I suppose, focused and that's what he needed It's interesting that Jo's other half I know I have loved you ever since I've known you, Jo I couldn't help it It would be a disaster if we married, okay? It wouldn't be a disaster We'd be miserable I'd be a perfect saint I think Jo has that beautiful speech in the field where she says we wouldn't be fit for one another and it's true, people that are socially compatible or colloquially compatible or something like that or in their youth, that does not mean that it's meant to be for life and this would be the worst way to look at it but Laurie has a line in the movie where she says she calls me my lord and that's certainly not what the function of the relationship is but there's a truth in that I think Amy and Laurie get to fulfill things for one another or play things for one another and that can be, if not lifelong satisfying then certainly an immediate something that's not only satisfying but a healthy reciprocal feedback loop as opposed to, you know, like I said Jo has that speech where she's like we would be angry at each other all the time we'd be at each other's throats and that's what I like without giving anything away 150 year spoiler alert but when he sits down with her or when Laurie sits down with Jo in the attic and she doesn't know he's gotten married yet and he says to her you were right, we were totally incompatible and she's sitting there like oh god that's my favorite scene of Saoirse's in the movie not the one that I'm in but the one where she collects herself in the doorway before she speaks to you I think that's her best I am not the relationship expert I'm saying, I'm saying in fact, maybe For those two people maybe a marriage counselor relationship therapist right now would be like that is wrong that's wrong Timmy, what are you doing? But I in regards to what Jo's character says that dynamic that we see at the end of the movie that's beginning between Amy and Laurie makes sense Well also Amy gives something to him which is she desires him like she loves him on a different level and that's what they bring out in one another My girls have a way of getting into mischief Well, so do I This is Meg, Amy, Beth and Jo I intend to make my own way in the world No one makes their own way least of all a woman You'll need to marry well You are not married out well Well that's because I'm rich My mum I remember when I was going through a really horrid first like brutal ow, my organs are dying and I remember my mum said it hurts a little it hurts a millimetre less every single day and I remember when she said that it was day one the break up that happened yesterday and I was like a millimetre every day and she was right a month later it was like my organs had started to heal but knowing that was nicer that every day it gets better Yeah, it's a good way to look at it Still shit though Yeah, still shit Greta Gerwig because by way of the script by way of the energy she imbued in it this is not perhaps specifically relevant to what you just asked but I think she has a good quote where she says in period pieces it almost seems sometimes like people don't know what to do with their bodies because you don't know what would be appropriate and I think for us the respect for the period the respect for those kinds of rules were important but more important was that visceral nature of this movie the idea that people could watch this movie maybe even muted and you would still get what was going on on screen Women, they have minds and they have souls as well as just hearts I want to be great or nothing and they've got ambition and they've got talent as well as just beauty and I'm so sick of people saying that love is just all a woman is fit for I'm so sick of it There are some natures too lofty to bend
