[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]See I think it was always a dark story.  It was the story of an abused and neglected orphan who struggled to fit in and a pair of elderly siblings who had set aside all hope of anything but a hard grind through their retirement years finding happiness because they realized that connecting and loving one another helped them overcome their dark past.  I think there is added depth when you realize what a contrast there is between the before and the after for all of the characters.[/quote]

I disagree.  In the original stories and adaptation, the characters each had struggles and pain but they were still happy and loving people.  This new adaptation removes any and all joy from the story and makes everyone and everything awful.[/quote]

Nothing can top the original Anne of Green Gables movies (1985), starring Megan Follows, Colleen Dewherst, and Richard Farnsworth (not to mention the books, of course).  The story is joyous, sweet, and innocent.  These new adaptations, including the 2016 version with Martin Sheen, are terrible.  That one is so over-acted and tries so hard to be cutesy and "goofy."  Awful.  I had to turn it off after about half an hour.

My twelve yr. old daughter and I still watch the 1985 trilogy - VHS tapes and all.   :D [/quote]

I tried watching the Netflix version and only made it through a few episodes- it diverges way too much from the spirit and text of the books for me.

I ended up re-watching  the 1985 version- Megan Follows is Anne for me, forever.[/quote]
