Now that I'm older, I can totally see why Jo found him suitable for her. They compliment each other so very well, and Bhaer is just so thoughtful and kind 💕

[vivienmartin]

I always wanted my own personal Professor Bhaer, someone I felt intellectually and spiritually connected to. I finally found him. They do exist, ladies.

[roselanes]

this scene is so sweet. I love the moment where Jo tries to imitate the way he stirs his coffee

[starinthenightsky]

This is the relationship I want. Call me weird but I don't mind the age gap (I'm an adult don't worry). It's so exhilarating to find someone you can intellectually connect with. It makes the emotional and physical connection much more profound.

[AmaraEmme]

This was such a cool meta tie-in to Louisa May Alcott’s family. And Jo and Bhaer are so nerdy, I love it. Laurie could never enjoy this level of nerddom. Bhaer’s look of incredulity at 2:19 says it all 😁

[vfreekever]

Gabriel Byrne has been a movie star crush of mine since Man in the Iron Mask. He's mesmerizing to watch and has an air of idk gentleness about him. Love his work. Glad I finally watched this movie.

[stankssmile]

Girls want a Laurie, women want a bhaer.

[margaritam.]

There are people who you know are very kind the first second you meet them.

[yushikuang]

Flirty was so much better and innocent and kind when tinder wasn’t existing...

[juliannatunde]

This relationship shines so much more than that 2019 version

[sgvaldehueza]

2:55 when me and my mother watched that scene and I can't help but get butterflies watching them speak over their interests with such great passion, because even I seek for that kind of connection. Two souls that just balances one another and just happen to understand each other like crazy. My mother found me so sus as I become so gushy and mushy over them both.

[littlewomenchannel]

I love these two to the moon and back. True story Friedrich is mainly based on philosopher Henry Thoreau. Louisa was in love with him. He is the romantic lead in all of her novels. Fritz in Little Women, Mac in Rose in Bloom, David in Work, Adam in Moods. Of course, Jo falls for him. Henry was also known for carrying an umbrella.

[cippyjournals]

After only watching this one clip, it makes so much sense why she would end up with mr bhaer and not laurie

[AmetafJohora]

"call me Friedrich" this is kind of cute lmao

[cheerfulturtlegirl]

I have loved period pieces for a while, but I have noticed something interesting happen in the past year. I am 26-years-old and a single woman, and I see a common theme now as I watch these performances.

Professor Bhaer is incredibly underrated and a much better fit for Jo intellectually. Laurie and Amy are a better fit for each other.

Colonel Brandon was truly the catch in Sense and Sensibility. Willoughby was a silly boy.

And I know Daisy Goodwin's Victoria is based on actual historical people, and believe me I support the real Victoria and Albert's relationship. However, viewing this series more as a fictional period piece for a moment, Melbourne and Victoria have such real love and chemistry.

I don't know what it is, but I have noticed this common occurrence that the male character I see most positively has true maturity and good character. Age is definitely not a guarantee for maturity, but I'm much more drawn to a man of deep faith and principle than any boy that simply wants to play games. Spiritual and intellectual attraction is so important.

Even if it is more rare and uncommon nowadays, that is the kind of love that would persuade me to marry. No one is perfect, but being understood and valued would be so nice.

Also! These men actually help the female protagonist. They believe in their strengths and capabilities, but will be honest and share when their efforts may not be a good idea. This is how improvement and growth can occur. They do this in a truly loving way, building up the women they love yet ultimately leaving the decision up to them.

People will write off these pieces as mere girlish fantasy, but I would think most females know that no healthy relationship is a perfect utopia. We need good fiction to give us examples of right and acceptable behavior, to pull us out of the gutter of selfish indulgent living. We need good fiction to give us a standard to aspire to achieve.

I'm probably preaching to the choir, but these ideas have been floating around in my mind whenever I want this genre.

He was so beautiful here. Such a lovely Irish man, so very Irish looking.

[dmorenod]

I miss Winona Ryder, I wish I could see her in more movies

[bananiadhikari]

She's your sister- I couldn't bear it😂😂😂

[VioletOwlz]

LITERALLY I'M SCREAMING THE NERDINESS IN THIS IS EVERYTHING

[daftoptimist]

I can never marry unless I find someone to nerd out over Transcendentalism with me, too.
