Product: Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story
Rating: 4.0
not the anne we know, yet she is still engaging...
Yes, this is not based on any of the Anne books. That is true. And yet I found myself completely involved, yet again, in Anne's life. The characters remained fairly true to themselves, with the exception of Fred, and there were chords striken that brought back the bleakness found in "Rilla of Ingleside". That book dealt with WWI also, although it was a completely different story.I think it shows me that anyone could take Anne and Gilbert out of Avonlea and still weave an engaging story around them.In my heart I wish that each of the books in the Anne series would have been made into it's own movie, but I will take what I can get.If you are deeply devoted to the books, you will probably not enjoy this movie. But my daughters and I did, and it shares the shelf with our other Anne favorites.
