Is this dude british? what the hell is his accent?!?

[InsubordinationFreak]

Yup, they're both English trying to play Canadian.

her hair's not supposed to be blonde...

[InsubordinationFreak]

Good point. Her hair is red in the rest of it. Maybe they forgot the dye that day.

[loverly18]

She is so not a redhead.

Neither of them are at all convincing. I'll take Megan Follows and Jonathan Crombie any day.

This is one of the funniest proposals I've ever seen.

and Mexico

[citizenlen]

wow! Sometimes I don't if the actress is trying to be a Canadian Scarlett O'hara. Her accent switches from southern to the Canadian accent of pronoucing their about to aboot. And Gil, jeez....was he scottish, british, canadian or just a bad actor. I don't care if this version is truer to the books, the acting and whole production is just horrible. I'll take Sullivan's interpretation anyday. At least that movie had heart and soul.

@InsubordinationFreak I can't imagine what possessed Gilbert to say ANY of it...

[yowee1234]

Bahaha! The dialogue in this is so..... ridiculous. But I'm glad you posted it. I sometimes like watching the corny stuff, and this made me laugh!

[anny84ify]

" I don't know who wrote this dialogue but it wasn't LM Montgomery!"

In the past - was once ambiguous to call US citizens Americans - but they've always called themselves that so be it. The rest of us in America can easily say NORTH. SOUTH, CENTRAL or LATIN American - but why would we if we can proudly say I'm Canadian, Costa Rican, Bermudan, Brazilian etc. esp. when travelling - sadly in M.East a bit iffy to blurt out I'm American! Once upon a time "America" referred to N &/or S America depending on your origin or "The Americas". Why did this topic come up (:o)

As a British Home Child, Anne certainly lucked out.  Typically most Home Children were used as free labour & not properly housed, fed, nor educated & kept ostracised from local children. But like Canada's MP.JASON KENNY says "the public has limited interest in official apologies for every tragic event in our past". And I suppose we should just watch the movie without a care!
