what'cha think about her books
YES THAT IS WHAT I MEAN!!! Totaly un Anne of Green Gablesness.Laura Ingalls wrote:The third movie was so totally different that they shouldn't have even tried to pretend it was supposed to be Anne.
I mean, Anne and Gil living in New York City? Them being just married during WWI when it was their grown sons who fought in that war? Anne trying to find Gil while dressed in a nun's habit? Madness, I say!
"And there's no one to stand around looking impressed"....seriously "what is the point of having you all." 
Hence why I have no intention of ever seeing that movie.Laura Ingalls wrote:The third movie was so totally different that they shouldn't have even tried to pretend it was supposed to be Anne.

If I'm remembering correctly, she's 13 in the movie too... and Gilbert also calls her "carrots" at the end.Shawndlay wrote:Two things that really bother me about the RT version. First, they say that Anne is 13, not 11, in the beginning. Then at the end, when she's 16, she says something about the last 5 years. Second, when Gilbert calls her "Carrots" at the end and she giggles. Um, no! Anne would have gotten mad all over again!
but most of it is hard to watch when for me because I love the books so much and Anne 3 kind of ruins stuff.
Isn't that the one when she's singing with the two lady people (I can't remeber their names) and she sees Gill? I do like the song, but whatever the actress' name was wasn't that great of a singer (which Anne was)Catspaw wrote:Another thing that I dislike about the third Anne movie was that Kevin Sullivan, the director, apparently made a serious plot change between making the trailer and making the final cut of the movie - in the trailer, Anne kisses that journalist guy, which traumatized my sister and I, since she's married to Gil at the time! In some interview I read a while ago that Sullivan did before the movie came out, he said that Anne and Gil were engaged when she went overseas to find him, which makes the kiss with another guy a bit less awful, but still, that seems like a significant change to make after the movie is almost done. I agree that the third one doesn't even seem like an Anne movie at all. I didn't watch it for years because I saw the trailer and knew that it would be dreadful, but I finally did watch it. I like the "Let Me Call You Sweetheart" scene
"And there's no one to stand around looking impressed"....seriously "what is the point of having you all." It sure is! That moment makes the movie almost worth watching.Oriana wrote:Isn't that the one when she's singing with the two lady people (I can't remeber their names) and she sees Gill?

A few years ago we got a new phone and I was fiddling with the ringtone settings and realized that one of them was "Let Me Call You Sweetheart" (music only - no lyrics, of course) so I get to hear the tune fairly often. You're right that those two performers aren't that great, but the scene is good overall. 
Julie Andrews would have been great to have in that scene (I just had to throw that in there Julie Andrews is so FumbleFritz.)Catspaw wrote:It sure is!

No I've never been to P.E.I. The Anne books definitely made me want to go there. I spent a 2 hour jaunt into Canada one time. I would like to go back, and P.E.I. would be one place I would like to visit there.Oriana wrote:So did you actually go to P.E.I. ?
I really need to watch the movies again. That's odd that Radio Theatre seems to have borrowed some of their adaption from the movie, which, of course, doesn't completely match the books.LizzieG wrote:If I'm remembering correctly, she's 13 in the movie too... and Gilbert also calls her "carrots" at the end.
They must've been looking at the book when the mentioned how long she'd been there later. Or the movie makes the same mistake. 
Ugh, no, Anne wouldn't have let it go at that point.LizzieG wrote:I'd like to think Anne's willing to let bygones be bygones at that point. Not to mention that it makes for a rather sweet scene in the movie.
She's finally made up after five years but she's still a sensitive person. If Gilbert turned around and called her that again right away, she'd get mad. Maybe later... after she's married and has a red-headed daughter. "And there's no one to stand around looking impressed"....seriously "what is the point of having you all." ). Definitely a more re-listenable drama than first impressions had led me to believe. I don't know... at the end, she admits to having been stubborn for much of that time, and to having forgiven him "that day by the pond landing." I don't think she would've gotten mad all over again, especially after hearing Marilla's story about the consequences of holding grudges...Shawndlay wrote:Ugh, no, Anne wouldn't have let it go at that point.LizzieG wrote:I'd like to think Anne's willing to let bygones be bygones at that point.
