Growing up, I loved watching independent Jo March in every version of Little Women. Greta's 2019 adaptation made me love Amy. Other movies portrayed her as vain, shallow, annoying. Really, she was ambitious and practical, willing to sacrifice dreams of love and art to secure her family's future. I cry.

What Is the Difference Between Amusement and Art?
Human beings constantly produce objects, images, sounds and stories that attract attention and provoke reaction. Some of these experiences are described as amusement or entertainment, while others are called art. The distinction between the two has long occupied philosophers, critics and creators, yet the boundary remains uncertain. Both can delight, disturb, inspire or exhaust the human senses. Both are built from the same physical materials: pigment on canvas, vibrating air in music, words on a page, or moving light on a screen. The difference therefore cannot lie in the material itself. The same paint can form a masterpiece or a decorative poster; the same sequence of sounds can be a symphony or a jingle. The difference emerges from how humans use and experience these objects.
