Anne with an E:
Everyone knows the heartwarming original movies and books which is the foundation of the classic “Anne of Green Gable”. This touching story of an adventurous young lady who is lost in her own imagination. There has been several remakes that tried and somewhat succeeded in comparing with this favorite tale of mine. However this Netflix series has by no means come close to the OG “Anne of Green Gables” masterpiece. In fact with the 2019 modern elements they added has taken this touching, oldfastioned story and ruined it.
Cinematically it’s not a bad show. The sets and the costumes have been selected well enough to please this nostalgic viewer. It’s really how the writers decided to make this simple plotline and modernize it and give the characters real world issues. Hey this is a bold statement and a brave one, but if I am able to equally comepair Anne and her school friends with characters from degrassi and 90210 then it’s way too much modernization. The writers took these great novels and classic movies and turned them into a 2000 high school coming of age flik. So this has to go in the Bad Good category. Great foundation, but poor effect.
Your final conclusion is a strong one and I admire your confidence as you compare the show to other shows (like DeGrassi or 90210). The formatting didn't quite follow the assignment expectations. Remember that the first paragraph should evaluate the objective qualities of the show (characters, story-line, cinematography, etc.) and the second paragraph should focus on YOUR reactions/feelings/interpretations. Getting SOME of you in the second paragraph, but the first paragraph seems way more introductory (i.e. setting up the pieces of the show) than it does evaluative (i.e. identifying value or lack thereof within the text). Sets and costumes are "selected well enough"-- how? when? where? why? Use specificity to enhance this review because there is SO MUCH that goes unexplained in here. This also should have a title that goes beyond the title of the show itself.
