    Thank you for filming the AOGG trilogy movies, I LOVE 'EM ALL and have watched many, many, many times to this date. The love story of Anne Shirley and Gilbert Blythe is an inspiration to everybody. You had an excellent choice of having Megan Follows and Jonathan Crombie as lead and lovely couple of the story. They are perfect match. Love 'em both. God Bless you all.

    Absolutely brilliant! The music selection heavenly! There's never been a movie that I've enjoyed watching more than this and of Green Gables! It has soul! Truly it is a classic in itself. Thank you for presenting this for our enjoyment and touching our hearts!

    Isn"t it amazing that Kevin Sullivan wrote sequels to Anne of Green Gables that are better than the original author's works? He must be an extremely empathic man to capture the essence of the characters so well. What a legacy he provided!

  • @fayee8986
    @fayee8986 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    A Perfect cast! I say perfect! There can't ever be anyone else to duplicate these characters that are truly the original characters in the book! Beautifully done, magical, and brilliant, absolutely perfect each and everyone! I love Matthew. He reminded me so much of my own grandfather. So precious. A movie that became real and touched our hearts.

    Part of the genius of the script is Kevin's use of the Victorian prosaic speech. Anne's attempts to elevate herself by speaking in semi-awkward prosaic speech is so very endearing and forces the viewer to pay attention to the beauty that she's tapped into. Well done! Excellent casting, excellent setting, excellent choice of dramatic scenes to include in time you had to work with.

    @ Kevin Sullivan: Your works are the GREATEST works of art, EVER, done, in my opinion. You have given to me, a complete stranger to you, the greatest guft ever given to me... a place and a life I can escape to thrpugh your movies; a place & a life I can only dream of as truly being my own... a happily ever after... love, understanding, empathy, compassion, etc. ... a wholesome world that meets my values, wherein reality, nothing could be further from the truth.... Thank you for surrendering to your gifts, and treating me to a most lovely visual of the very books that have always been a world in & of themselves, that I went to escape ugly reality... even from early childhood. These L.M. Montgomery books, and your movies, & series; incldg. AOGG, & Avonlea, are my escape and billowy comfort...

    Thank you so much for the Anne of Green Gables series. I feel as though they are very authentic to the books, which I adore. The casting was just amazing. With all of the characters, they were so multi-layered. amThe series just made me want to see more and more of them.
    I am sorry to say that for me, all other versions suffer by comparison

    The sequel may be a departure from the books' story, but it keeps the feeling and atmosphere. It is also true that because film medium is so different from book medium, it is quite impossible to cry for 3 hours straight while reading as one does watching the films.

  • @allahwatches
    @allahwatches 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    A special note to the Sullivan Network there is a TH-cam channel that has uploaded all of these movies I don't know if that's right since it's not in their rights to do so so I want to give you a heads up. It's a French Channel with the name Anna Green Gables after the movie.

    "I looked at other stories from that era to try and see where romantic relationships went..."
    Among them Little Women, I assume? :)
    But yeah, his version did improve on the books, while having similarities with them (Morgan Harris being that version's Roy Gardener, for example).

Please let me know as I have wanted to buy the new one's for a long time. Thank you a loving fan :)

      Because it wasn't about Anne, it was about the town of Avonlea and the people in it! Anne and Gilbert had gotten together and moved on during the time frame of Avonlea....Road to Avonlea's storyline basically paralleled Anne and Gilbert's life but separately......

    On a good day, the character whom I physically resemble most closely = Diana Barry; on a bad day, Emmeline Harris!
    Character-wise, I empathise with the eponymous heroine, Anne; and also Ruby Gillis, the most hysterical member of her class.

    i loved the first two movies..even if i didnt see em right when they aired on tv. the third and fourth were ok, but i just cant understand why they didnt follow the books an stay true to the story. i mean....so much is missing from each part. it would've made a better tv series an hour long instead of movies...maybe. and the Morgan guy from part 2 was totally original. thats what i hate about hollywood sometimes..they completely FK up great classic books when they adapt them for the big screen. Megan isnt that old, if she ever wanted to do another round of Anne movies..and do it right maybe.
