'there is much more scope for the imagination'
Two lines i was able to memorise.
'this dress is exquisite beyond my imagination
you are a man of immaculate taste'
Megan Follows plays the role of Anne Shirley in the movie 'Anne of Green Gables' which she portrayed magnificently. There was a scene where Gilbert had teased her of her auburn red hair, and she smashed a slate over his head "Did you smash it hard?" "Sadly yes" (because he had called her hair 'carrot') She immediantly ran home and tried to dye her hair raven black. The silly girl! She is a sweet little girl whom is anorphan and was mistakenly kept by Maureen and Mathew (siblings), very bright, ambitious, has an impeccable nature, her innocence is quite amusing - how she gets herself out of trouble by making up one of the most imaginative excuses ever. She holds so much charm in her character and as a person.
This is a movie that is of great literature, although it was based on the novel Anne of Green Gables by Canadian author Lucy Maud Mongomery, the script of the movie just carries on with such clarity. I find scriptwriters of my time cannot carry the message across through a dialogue. How many times have you heard that Harry Potter's book was more intense than the movie itself? The directors and actors of that time (1985) was extraordinary and cannot even be compared to one of the greatest in the modern 21st century - Julia Roberts.
I cannot express my love for this movie, it is smart, elegant, quirky, funny and oh how much i would want to purchase the film and the book. I think i would watch it over and over again without a doubt. The lines from the movie was spoken in real english, the way the words were put into a sentence just captures my full attention and eagre to listen to more.
There is a sequence to the movie, Anne of Avonlea which was later renamed to Anne of Green Gables: The sequel, then The continuation which had little success. I've just read the summary of 'The continuation; and it does not sound too great.
Prince Edward Islands was t setting of the movie located in Canada I believe.
