Kit. She has been an American Girl since I was seven or eight. I have the doll, I have the books, and she happens to be my favorite girl.
Well... until Hollywood got her.
Now Kit Kittredge (I think that's how you spell th last name) is a new movie comming out July 2008.
Kit is a girl who lives during the great depression and her dad loses her job and everything. A very tramatic story to read when you're seven-ten.
Now, American girl has made movies before. Three, acctully.
In 2004 they started it off with the Samantha movie. I loved it as eleven year old. (ok, I was forced down and watched it with my cousin, Mallory.) Samantha, for the guys who read my blog, is the American girl doll from the turn of the centrary and she looks at womens rights movements and when children still worked in factories and such.
Then, in 2005, American Girl had another TV speiceal on WB. Felicity (again, being forced to watch by my cousin.). One of the lesser known girls. She is a Pre-Revolutionary american (or, virginian).
2006, Molly came to be. Molly is the 40's girl. Dad goes off to war, houses Brittish girl in her house, all that good stuff. It aired on Disney Channel. I watched it in curiosity. It strayed off more from the book then Samantha did (Felicty I never read, so cannot say how bad it was.).
Now Kit comes out and I'm foresieeing the worst for it. I watched the preveiw (which will be on my video bar becase of my technoligy ignorance) and, I am appaled. Kit lived induring the Great Depression not many people had enough to get by, not to mention own cars. My big thing is that I watched the trailer and found, like, 8 things that weren't in the book.
I geuss, all in all, this post has no meaning of exsistance. I thought that American Girl was better then to let some Hollywood director mess with their book. Really, all this post was me ranting (I always rant) and me being bitter (which I probably am a lot) but, I geuss the fact that this movie is ruining the only childhood memory I even wish to remeber is killing me (and pissing me off).
Well, yeah. That's about all I can say.
Ok, so I'm not really sure why I care at all about this whole, "doesn't stick to the book" thing. Maybe I'm just bitter and ranting and probablly not making any sense (damn, and I just figured out that's exsactly what I'm doing.).
