The 80s got adaptations right

I am specifically thinking about Granada Holmes and Sullivan Anne of Green Gables but I’m sure there’s other examples

ANNE OF GREEN GABLES (1985)

Kindred spirits are not so scarce as I used to think. It's splendid to find out there are so many of them in the world.

[letteredlettered]

honestly when searching for romance I think it is great to have both Anne Shirley and Jo March as role models. Anne Shirley thinks love is something out-of-this-world and beyond her own reality and goes out searching for it, only to find that love is familiar and friendly and comfortable and kind. She goes out into the world and then says it's not what the world holds for you but what you can bring to it. Meanwhile Jo March already has a love that is familiar and friendly and comfortable and kind and says we would be like old crows, fighting all the time, and goes out to find someone who is new and different who can challenge her and help her forge a path to a new life that isn't what anyone expected.

I think the point is that love can be different for different people, and that no one can tell you who to love or how. You have to look within yourself to understand what can bring you happiness, and then you have to work for it.

Please, give me an adaptation of Anne of Green Gables that faithfully covers House of Dreams and Ingleside (my two favorite books in the series)

Oh, I would've killed for an adaptation of those books with Megan Follows and Jonathan Crombie.

“How could you wish that person a ‘Merry Christmas’?”

Alternate take, Anne debuts her puffed sleeves, ‘Anne of Green Gables,’ 1985.

the anne of green gables website just introduced me to this quote--

“Many people have told me that they regretted Matthew's death in Green Gables. I regret it myself,” wrote Lucy Maud Montgomery in her autobiography, The Alpine Path. “If I had the book to write over again, I would spare Matthew for several years. But when I wrote it, I thought he must die, that there might be a necessity for self-sacrifice on Anne's part, so poor Matthew joined the long procession of ghosts that haunt my literary past.” 

--and now i feel even more wonderful about matthew not dying on anne with an e!

No quote has made me burst into tears like "He knew we needed her," from Anne of Green Gables.

[fellow-nerd]

Just finished all the Sullivan Entertainment Anne of Green Gables movies. Let me just say whatever the heck was going on with Anne of Green Gables: A NEW Beginning was insane, uncalled for, and well insane.

Like ur telling me Anne was LYING ABOUT BEING AN ORPHAN and marilla found out YEARS AGO and just did nothing. No one reacts when they find out, not even Rachel Lynde. Like-

I'm flabbergasted

And I watched that dumpsterfire of a movie after going through the craziest World War one story starring Anne going to the front just to find Gilbert and then carrying a baby (whose mother she watched die and whose father is in love with her who also dies) through multiple war zones and then to London where she stays with her best friends husband while Gilbert is a POW.

I mean they got the shock factor down pat, the last two movies had their moments alright

forever baffled by that one scene in the continuing story (anne of green gables) where anne refuses to... what was it, sign a contract w jack or something? idk. but where jack's response is to scale the building and threaten suicide if she doesn't do so

like. what. why???? why would you do that?! and then it never comes up again?? does he have a death wish? is it just that he's drunk, like anne says? or what? why would you include this sort of scene if there's no reason??

i am aware that there's probably an audience of -5 of people who understand this, but i will never get over my disappointment at anne & gilbert's wedding in anne's house of dreams vs. anne of green gables: the continuing story (the 2000 film)

like the first two sullivan anne films were relatively book-accurate (especially compared to awae) and i was so happy about it as someone who was raised & defined by the books, and them the continuing story (as many sweet anne/gilbert moments it has, and as amazing as megan follows and jonathan crombie are as always) has them get married in the middle of WWI, right after green gables has almost burnt down, while frank wright is MIA, so that gil can go over and be a doctor on the front lines. they're so sad and somber the whole time and it's just... they don't deserve that.

the anne's house of dreams wedding is so disgustingly happy that it makes the continuing story wedding so much sadder:

They were married in the sunshine of the old orchard, circled by the loving and kindly faces of long-familiar friends. Mr. Allan married them, and the Reverend Jo made what Mrs. Rachel Lynde afterwards pronounced to be the “most beautiful wedding prayer” she had ever heard. Birds do not often sing in September, but one sang sweetly from some hidden bough while Gilbert and Anne repeated their deathless vows. Anne heard it and thrilled to it; Gilbert heard it, and wondered only that all the birds in the world had not burst into jubilant song; Paul heard it and later wrote a lyric about it which was one of the most admired in his first volume of verse; Charlotta the Fourth heard it and was blissfully sure it meant good luck for her adored Miss Shirley. The bird sang until the ceremony was ended and then it wound up with one mad little, glad little trill. Never had the old gray-green house among its enfolding orchards known a blither, merrier afternoon. All the old jests and quips that must have done duty at weddings since Eden were served up, and seemed as new and brilliant and mirth-provoking as if they had never been uttered before. Laughter and joy had their way; and when Anne and Gilbert left to catch the Carmody train, with Paul as driver, the twins were ready with rice and old shoes, in the throwing of which Charlotta the Fourth and Mr. Harrison bore a valiant part.
