Never go hungry

When I was in high school, a classmate’s parent worked on a TV station, so I had many opportunities to borrow video tapes. At that time, I borrowed a three-hour movie "Gone with the Wind" by mistake. I had never watched "Gone with the Wind" at the time, and I had no idea about this movie. It's all for the playing time, so I can't stop at a glance.

Of course, what attracted me at the beginning of the film was the beautiful southern scenery and southern beauties. On the green grass, there is a beautiful white manor like a butter cake. Scarlett, wearing a white tutu, has bright eyes and bright green eyes like a cat, looking around to see which lucky young man chooses to get a drink. Such self-willedness, stubbornness, high spirits, and such beauty are as flawed as an ordinary girl, so the road to love is bumpy.

But these, in the southern Tara Manor, American men in military uniforms, large tutu skirts from the 19th century, and the huge red veil under the black mother's gray hood can also be seen in similar movies. Haus Kadan Lian’s love story is not even a rare treasure. Only Brad's charming mustache and sexy voice are special. But even with Vivien Leigh's peerless appearance, these alone won't make me remember it for so many years.

What I will not forget is the silhouette of Scarlett Scarlett and Melanie flying all the way under the gunfire during the Civil War in the movie, and the silhouette of Brad and Scarlett kissing deeply in the orange-red skylight; what I will not forget is Scarlett Scarlett calmly tore down. The green velvet curtains were wrapped around her body, her eyes turned and she was clever and triumphant; what I can’t forget is that Hauskay returned to Tara Manor and found that the farmland was barren and her family business was declining. She walked out of the field under the shining of the purple-red sunset. He pulled out a radish, and took a bite without even wiping off the dirt. Facing the setting sun, this stubborn woman clenched her fists and raised her arms and shouted to the sky: "I will never go hungry in the future!" The tragic and soothing music suddenly sounded, and Hao Sijia's slender back was in the setting sun. Cast a long shadow.

It's hard to say what inspiration to my life this movie and "Gone with the Wind" I later read. But Scarlett’s declaration that she will never go hungry, and her back in the purple clouds have always stayed in my heart forever. I watched this movie five times in total, and this fragment actually made me cry five times. No matter whether I like Hao Sijia's personality or not, whether I tolerate Hao Sijia's shortcomings, such firmness and courage, such a woman who can't boast even the chaos of war, the vitality is tenacious like spring weeds. Seeing her, there is always hope in life, no matter what difficulties you face.

    I don’t have one of my favorite movies. I watch it every year, because Gone with the Wind is my favorite novel. Vivien Leigh was born for Scarlett. The cat-like eyes of Scarlett are so beautiful. She loves Scarlett who guards Tara during the war. She is independent, strong and beautiful. She stands on the land of Tara at dusk and swears never to God. I will never forget the hunger scene. The ancestor of the overbearing president, Brad has a deep love for Scarlett, but it is a pity... hey, the ending is so cruel.

Gone with the Wind quotes

  • Scarlett: [pleads with Rhett as he is about to leave to join the Confederate Army] Oh, Rhett! Please, don't go! You can't leave me! Please! I'll never forgive you!

    Rhett Butler: I'm not asking you to forgive me. I'll never understand or forgive myself. And if a bullet gets me, so help me, I'll laugh at myself for being an idiot. There's one thing I do know... and that is that I love you, Scarlett. In spite of you and me and the whole silly world going to pieces around us, I love you. Because we're alike. Bad lots, both of us. Selfish and shrewd. But able to look things in the eyes as we call them by their right names.

    Scarlett: [struggles] Don't hold me like that!

    Rhett Butler: [holds her tighter] Scarlett! Look at me! I've loved you more than I've ever loved any woman and I've waited for you longer than I've ever waited for any woman.

    [kisses her forehead]

    Scarlett: [turns her face away] Let me alone!

    Rhett Butler: [forces her to look him in the eyes] Here's a soldier of the South who loves you, Scarlett. Wants to feel your arms around him, wants to carry the memory of your kisses into battle with him. Never mind about loving me, you're a woman sending a soldier to his death with a beautiful memory. Scarlett! Kiss me! Kiss me... once...

    [he kisses her]

  • Rhett Butler: Now that you've got your lumber mill and Frank's money, you won't come to me as you did to the jail, so I see I shall have to marry you.

    Scarlett: I never heard of such bad taste.
