Anne of Green Gables [IMPORT]

Rating:
Summary: its a classic!!!
Review: What can i say, I LOVE this movie. I grew up watching this one and Anne of Avonlea(now the sequel) I also read the books when i was young. I still enjoy watching them as an adult. I just wish i had a daughter to watch it with and enjoy with me. (we have two wonderful boys and most likely wont have any more) The characters fit the roles perfectly and are excellent. You just fall in love with them all.

Summary: Watch only this and Anne of Avonlea-skip the new 3rd segment
Review: This original video "Anne of Green Gables" and its sequel, "Anne of Avonlea" faithfully capture the delightful and inspiring stories of the series of "Anne of Green Gables" books. The videos are favorites of me and my daughters -- perfect for rainy weekends or days they stay home from school due to illness. I am saddened to see that the original is out-of-print and encourage the studio to re-release it. (Perhaps if demand is high enough, they will!)

Unfortunately, we recently tuned into the new PBS production of "Anne: The Continuing Tales." This was a monumental disappointment that I can only liken to "The Godfather Part III." Although the Anne stories written by Lucy Maud Montgomery continue through her marriage, career and children, the producers of this movie discarded any relationship to the charming original stories or the memorable original characters. They merely borrowed the names of the characters and then created a highly unbelievable scenario that bore no hint of continuity between the fiercely independent, fiery, patriotic, and highly moral Anne, her bosom buddy Diana, or her sweetheart Gilbert. Throw in a baby who cries throughout the entire video, some unbelievable WWI scenarios and politically correct but anachronistic "anti-war" sentiments, and you end up with a despicable mess.

If you loved the original books or videos, STAY FAR AWAY from "The Continuing Story" so that you don't taint your fond memories. And if you haven't already seen the videos of "Anne of Green Gables" or "Anne of Avonlea," then do whatever it takes to see them as soon as possible. (Don't wait for a rainy weekend!)

Summary: Excellent mini series
Review: I also have read all of LL Montgomery's books on Anne of Green Gables. It is very rare when a movie can be exactly like a book. I wasn't disappointed because the story line was "true" to the heart of the book, and the casting was PERFECT. When I read the books now, I can only see Meagan Follows, Colleen Dewhurst and the actor who plays Matthew. Pure genious in casting and acting. You quickly forget that it doesn't follow the books and are so enthralled with the scenery and let's talk about that musical score! I am a musician - and that is one of the best scores around for movies. Don't let the others talk you out of owning this series, it's truly one of the best made.

Summary: I am in the depths of despair over this movie!
Review: I cannot believe what I am reading. Most people seem to have loved this film and think it is some sort of beautifully moving adaptation of the books. My thoughts could not be any further from this perception. I absolutely worship the books and have ever since I was a mere 9 year old and read them in true Anne stylee beside the brook in our garden. Her romance and imagination and general love of everything beautiful completely touched me in a way nothing had, or ever has since. So, naturally I bought the videos and couldn't wait to watch them. I so wish I hadn't. They are horrible, uncreative and completely inaccurate. Anne is not the innocent, wispy, natural,laughing darling that we see in the books. She is a serious, stubborn, rude bore and no true Anne lover could ever think that these poor excuses for films were anything but crap. I think the main problem is that the book lets you set free your imagination and gives no boundaries to your exploration. No film can ever do that. If you truly do love Anne please do not watch this; do what she would have wanted and keep it in the imagination!

Summary: The wonderful Anne
Review: I hated this movie and all the following ones. I am a purest of the most absolute form and they added so much to the movie that does not belong in Anne's life. If you must cut out some things to make it the average movie-length, fine! But to trash her life like that? I wouldn't even give it 1 star if I had the chance. I'm forever arguing with my friends who think it's the greatest in the world. They tell me they didn't like the book, What's not to like??!! LMM didn't create this movie "Anne" and Hollywood shouldn't have either.

Review: I do not yet own this film, I am waiting arrival, but i can most certainly say from my heart what a wonderful film it is.
I first saw it as a young girl when it was aired on tv, it has been a favourite of mine ever since.

I would recommend this film to anyone and everyone, and thank "Lucy Maud Montgomery" for writing such a brilliant story.

Summary: OMGOSH! no words to describe this movie
Review: I love this movie so so much. The acting in it is wonderful. set in prince edward island in canada. The senery is great. THe whole movie leaves you speachless, its so good. I have memorized this movie. This is the kind of movie that a whole family needs to watch together. There are life lessons all through it. Forgiveness, patience, love, friendship, consiquences for actions you name it. Out of 5 stars i give it 10. Thats how good it is.

Its starts with an orphan girl named annE. ANd how no one wants her. Then a family who asks for a boy, gets her. Matthew and marilla. Matthew is the kind of grandfather everyone wants. so kind and has a heart the size of the world. Marrilla keeps you on your toes. SHes so funny. It talks about how family is important. Its a girls story of growing up.

THIS IS A MUST SEE!!!! its worth everypenny and more. what i have learned from this movi, don't come close to anything else. If the price was to reflect what u learn... $500 should be the price. I love this movie and can't stress anough of how this will be your favorite movie.

BUY!!! U WON'T BE SAD! THIS IS WORTH EVERY PENNY AND MORE!!!!
