Moments when you want to cry...


Mine would have to be right when Gilbert leaves the Gazebo when he looks back and is like "don't forget about me." You can see from his face how painful it is to leave her, and you just wanna give him a hug...

i agree with everything u said.
its the best part in the film 4 me but iv got the rubbish edited version lol

reply

I always cry during the whole film, so I cannot simply choose only one moment, forgive me :)

when gil goes off on the train. she calls out his name, but only says "thanks" about the letter. you can tell she wanted to say "i love you." and when gil says he's engaged. you can see how hurt anne was.

and of couRse when they KISS! Tears of joy!

There are many scenes where I tear up (especially involving Anne and Gilbert). Although I love Anne, I feel like slapping some sense into her when it comes to Gilbert! She knows that she is in love with him, but I think her pride is what keeps her from expressing that to him. The biggest tear-jerking scene is when Anne goes to Gilbert while he is seriously ill. I always feel that is the reason Gilbert recovers. Maybe when he realizes how much Anne cares for him, he finds the strength to pull through.

The part where Anne has just found out that Gil is sick and she's sitting in her room crying because she finally knows that she loves him but IT'S TOO LATE!!! Or so she thinks. Also the part where she comes to show him her book and he says, "there will never been anyone for me but you". *siiigh*

I often find myself at odds with how Kevin Sullivan handled the Anne stories compared to how they were in the books, but how Gil's sickness was handled is one of the things that I agree with how he did it.

Boxelder, I agree with you. All the scenes you mentioned are amazing. The whole movie is amazing. I'm glad you enjoyed since I did too.

reply

.....Me too. I truly love and cherish the first two movies. It's 12 years this Christmas since I first watched them (am 28 now!). So many scenes made my cry!

reply

all the parts where Anne rejects Gilbert, the gazebo scene and when gilbert's dying but those just happen to be some of my favotie parts too, im so messed

Now Harry let us go out in to the night and persue that flighty temptress adventure.

reply

I completely agree with the Gazebo scene. "Don't forget me" and his face and voice as he says it, it twists my heart everytime.
There's alot of emotional scenes in the movie, but that one tops my list, and also when she hears "Did you know Gilbert Blythe was dying?"
And when she goes to see him, and as she bends down to talk to him, the music starts up, and *sniffs*

GILBERT: Anne, there's not going to be any wedding anymore.
ANNE: You're going to get well, Gil. I know you will.
GILBERT: I called it off. It wouldn't have been fair to Christine.
ANNE: Gil.
GILBERT: There will never be anyone for me, but you.

reply

Yeah...one of my favorites are when Gil runs after Anne after she walks away from the whole group at the wedding and goes to get the horse (or whatever). And they're talking and then he "pulls" her down from climbing in. The music when they're together is a big reason why all the scenes are tear-jerkers!

reply

The gazebo moment was the one for me, too. But then, many Gilbert moments, especially from Anne of Avonlea, pull at my heartstrings.

reply

From the moment Anne comes home from Kingsport with Katherine Brooke in tow, until the end of the movie, my eyes stay wet.

"Don't forget me."

And then when Anne yells to him on the train. It's so obvious how much she loves him, and he her.

reply

The "Don't forget me" scene was a classic.

There was an hour long of scenes where Gilbert wasn't shown in THe Sequel and suddenly when he returned in that scene without even a five minute exposure, i cried. I don' know but everytime Gilbert pops on the screen, my heart leaps.

For me, the most poignant line and scene is one that I could grow with, one that wistfully acknowledges the nature of living. When Anne sees Diana off on her honeymoon then heads home, she later says something along the lines of:

"Oh Marilla. Why do people have to grow up and change? I just want everything to stay just as it was...here at Green Gables."

But things always change. People who are living must always grow up. For Anne, who'd suffered a long journey of transience, abuse and abandonment, the condensed childhood she was allowed at Green Gables seemed to slip by even faster than those of her peers. But Life happens. When the reigns are before us, we must pick them up or fall behind. "Anne of Avonlea" is a film about one girl's life and transition from adolescence to adulthood. It acknowledges the pains that come with cherishing memories of youth, while accepting that life must also move forward.

Even though the passing of elderly characters in "Anne of Avonlea" seems to put distance between the young and the old, both age groups remain vulnerable to their mortality. Old people eventually die but sometimes young people die, too. Life is a beautiful, painful, exciting, burdensome yet electrifying thing, mostly, it is tenderly fleeting---a spark in the sky. Characters like Anne and stories like hers reconnect us with the energy of life and allow acceptance of our limitations and imperfections, while encouraging growth. Limitation of dreams, however, should never be the concession--and that is Anne's ultimate victory; live with vigor, passion and purpose. Anne wouldn't have settled for anything less.

I have several:

When Matthew dies

When Anne runs back to hug Marilla before leaving for Kingsport

When Anne returns to Green Gables and drops all her luggage to run to Marilla

When Anne goes to see Gilbert when he is sick

And of course the ending when Anne finally tells Gilbert she wants him

reply

Well, I'm a total Gilbert fan girl, so there isn't a moment he's on-screen and I'm not crying XD.

But with that being said, the gazebo scene, the scene where Anne so stupidly refuses his proposal & the "there'll never be anyone else for me but you" line. I HAVE to be alone when I watch those scenes.
