Product: Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story
Rating: 5.0
A beauty of its own
All though it doesn't follow the original books, "Anne of Green Gables the Continuing Story" is definantly worth watching.It begins with our familiar and beloved character Anne, as she goes to New York with Gilbert to see about getting her book published and waits for him to finish his education. As the story progresses, Gil feels the tug and the responsability of war and soon asks Anne to marry him before he is shipped out as doctor in the Canadian army. Soon after he ships out, Gill is posted as missing. It is all Anne can do to stand by and not know if he is dead or alive. The story gains momentum as she suspensfully signs up for red cross and completes a secret mission while looking for Gil and taking care of an old back-stabbing aquaintance's child, and her best friends wounded husband.Needless to say, this movie has a lot going on. And I feel that it has a very fitting and heartwarming ending.The only thing that I thought was a little out of place, is that Anne and Gilbert didn't start the movie already married. I think that this would have made the continuity of all the stories flow a lot better. Because they are in there early 30's late 20's and facing mature situations, it is hard to think of them taking such a youthfull position as newlyweds. After all, " Anne of Green Gables the Sequal" left us feeling that they were realizing how much they were made for one another. It is hard for me to understand them starting off this leg of the story like they are trying to get famliar agian, especially with the time that has gone by. You sort of want to say," Aren't they married yet?"But really, if you are a devoted "Anne of Green Gables" and Megan Follows fan like me, you can't help but enjoy this one.
