Movie Reviews of Anne of Green Gables (Classic 1934)
Movie Review: Distressing!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I don't mind when filmmakers take small liberties with a book when producing a movie, but for fans of the Anne of Green Gables series, or even the 1985 movies, this version is completely unrecognizable. The only thing the movie has in common with the book are the names...mostly. I can forgive them combining the characters of Mrs. Barry and Rachel Lynde; I can forgive them aging Anne 4 years. But the wholesale re-characterization of Anne and her relationship with Gilbert is unforgivable. Even if you didn't know the story of Anne, the complete re-write of the scene where Gilbert rescues Anne in the river comes off as eye-rollingly cheesy. In the books and 1985 film, Gilbert is charming and sweet; in this version, he's cheeky and silly. Matthew Cuthbert in this version does not resemble in any way, shape or form the sweet, anti-social and super-shy Matthew of any other version of this story. Marilla comes off as a shrew instead of just the strict and austere way the author writes her. All in all, an EPIC FAIL. They shouldn't have put L.M. Montgomery's name anywhere near the cover of the dvd.
