Now that I'm caught up with The Venture Bros. and Bojack Horseman, I'm currently Netflixing Anne With an E.
So, this version of Anne really ramps up how dark her past was and how effected she was by it, and it can really hit home with my dark past. So, how do you blunt the impact?
Whenever one of these scenes starts,
I scramble for one of my other devices and play this (or something like this) at the same time:
It's kind of incongruous to imagine this 11-year old Canadian girl with the unusually large forehead as a Vietnam vet. Then again, a lot of fans of the original novel are kind of put off by the change of tone, even if half the shit they complain about was actually in the original books.
