Sorry, Ā my internet is super slow at the moment and I didnāt get your message until just then.

@seekjustice Thank you.
Thatās okay. We could maybe war again soon. In a few minutes.

@seekjustice @catwing Hey, Iām off my conference call now. š
SeekJustice, I was just reading about the 1986 tv movie about Anastasia/Anna Anderson and wondering if youāve seen it or heard of it?Ā (I discovered it because apparently a coupleĀ actors I like worked in it. š )
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
Iāve been waiting to hear from you for ages! For some reason I didnāt get an email when you tagged me.
I havenāt, I donāt think. I know of an older movie, with Ingrid Bergman. Its not that one, is it?

@seekjustice Oh, thatās too bad!Ā At least weāre both here now.
Ingrid Bergman??Ā Sheās one of my absolute favorite actresses!Ā Sheās amazing!!Ā No, thatās not the one I was talking about, but Iām going to look it up now. šĀ The tv movie with Olivia de Havilland and Rex Harrison is the one I just heard about.
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
Yep, its 1956. Its the movie the animated movie and the Broadway play were apparently based on.
Is that other one sort of historically accurate?

@seekjustice Oh no.Ā I just found out that Ingrid Bergman plays Gladys Aylward in The Inn of the Sixth Happiness! š®Ā Iām sorry.Ā Sheās still one of my favorite actresses.Ā (but I still have no intention of watching that film! š )
It seems pretty accurate to me.Ā I havenāt seen it, but the movie is about Anna Anderson, not about Anastasia, and it follows the true events of how she was in an insane asylum all the way to her final years in America.Ā So it seems to be a biography of Anna Anderson, not a fictionalized tale of Anastasia.Ā Hereās the Wikipedia article on it:

That was one of the things that really annoyed me about the movie š
Hmm, it sounds interesting. Iāve read a bit abounds Anna Anderson and she sounds like a very unhappy person.

@rochellaine Fifty acres and horses!!?Ā I am so glad for you!
"In a mask, was he?"
@seekjustice What did you mean was one of the things that annoyed you about the movie?Ā The fact that Ingrid Bergman is a great actress?
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
The whole movie is based on two books āThe Little Womanā and āThe Small Womanā. From this, I get the impression that if the Chinese women were calling Gladys small, she was indeed tiny. Ingrid Bergman is not. Nor does she have long dark hair, like Gladys. In fact, Gladys was mistaken for a Chinese woman when she fell into a coma after her journey through the mountains.
Iām sorry, but I feel passionately for Gladys Aylward to be remembered as she was and not by that movie, which in many cases is all people know of her.

@seekjustice Oh, I see.Ā No, thatās what we discussed before, and I agree with you. šĀ Thatās why I donāt want to watch it.Ā For some reason I interpreted your previous post to mean that you disliked the fact that they cast a really good actress to play in such an awful film, because if they cast an actress that did a bad job, people wouldnāt like the film as much. š
There is one historically inaccurate biographical film that I absolutely love, but thatās probably because I donāt like the real story of the person whose life is portrayed and appreciated the changes. š
And then we both like Anastasiaā¦ š
Iāll stick to written biographies of Aylward, however.

@seekjustice @rochellaine @jenwriter17 @catwing @ariel-ashira
Hey Iāve woken up early and Iām going to tackle some writing today (once I get everything settled down). š Anyone around?
