DVD Reviews of Anne of Green Gables - A New Beginning
DVD Review: It didn't follow Anne's childhood at all!
Summary: 1 Stars
I got this in the mail a couple days ago. I am a big "Anne of Green Gables" fan and loving all eight books by L.M. Montgomery, plus reading "Before Green Gables" when it came out, I was hoping this would be a good tale of Anne's life before coming to Green Gables. I have to say I was rather disappointed! Not only did it not follow Anne's true childhood it kept going back and forth to much, when it should've just stayed with Anne's childhood and then showed when she was older.
I also didn't like who the actor they picked to play Anne's father and how they switched so much of the story of Anne's beginnings around. I gave it 1 star because I thought Hannah Endicott-Douglas superbly splendid as the young Anne Shirley, but in no way shape or form should Barbara Hershey been allowed to play the older Anne. For one she looks nothing like her and two Megan Follows should've been brought back as the older Anne. It just didn't feel like an Anne of Green Gables movie, but some other movie that is foreign to the world and spirit of "Anne of Green Gables."
I watched this last night and being the Anne fan that I am I thought I would love it! But I didn't enjoy it at all. It didn't stick faithful to Anne's story at all for that being an orphan and made her father live. I couldn't get that wonderful warm feeling like I got from reading the books and watching the other Anne movies. Barbara Hershey shouldn't have been chosen as the older Anne and the fact that(spoiler warning) they made Gilbert die, Marilla have letters from Annes father hidden from her and that it jumped around quite a lot made it not feel like an "Anne of Green Gables" movie at all.
They should've brought Megan Follows back as Anne, and kept Gilbert Blythe alive!!! They shouldn't have rearranged Anne's story and made it look she told falsehoods about her pass. The ending should've been how with archival footage of Matthew picking Anne up from Bright River station, the ride to Green Gables and it being decided that Anne could stay at "Green Gables." I wish it would've followed L.M. Montgomerys original Anne's story or the prequel book to the "Anne of Green Gables" series "Before Green Gables" by Budge Wilson. I give it 1 out 5 stars, because I didn't like how the storyline wasn't Anne at all, but the one star is for Hannah Endicott-Douglas doing good as Anne Shirley when she felt like the spirit of Anne, but Megan Follows will always be the best as Anne.
I do wish they would've made a better version and followed the true storyline of the tale of "Anne Shirley." I am glad I didn't buy this movie at all, but rented because it would've been a waste of money! They really ruined what should've been a pleasant experience and treasure for us fans of Anne. What we're they thinking? I just wish it followed more of the novel "Before Green Gables." and had the arcival footage be when Anne first came to Bright River station, was picked up by Matthew and headed to "Green Gables." Thus wasn't the case and I guess I will have to watch the original Anne movies from the 80's and I am reading the books again and getting the full original story as it was attended.
