Product: Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story
Rating: 1.0
Not Anne of Green Gables & Not For Kids
What a disappointment. As a British American I was very much offended by this movie. My wife and I got this from the library to watch with our kids and it was not what we expected at all. We all loved the first two movies and my wife and daughters loved all the books. We really were hoping to have a true continuation that followed the books and this was not it.Once the war scenes started we had to send our five kids upstairs. This movie is not for kids and definitely not an Anne movie. Anne would never have acted the way this movie portrayed her. They should have stayed with the books and then the movie would have been spot on. The only scene that really reflected Anne how she would have been is when she first greeted Gilbert and fell flat on her face in the mud.This movie was very anti-American and not particularly flattering to the British. Though I did enjoy the scene during the enlistment of soldiers when they were being lead by a bagpiper. That would seem accurate.In summary if you have no idea who Anne of Green Gables is and do not care then this movie would be good. But if you are looking for the Anne Shirley of the books written by Lucy Maud Montgomery you will not find her here.
