This pair of lovers who are vindictive to each other are equally passionate about life and will never admit defeat to fate. Selfish, strong, and stingy in giving, as if every effort must be logarithmic. If it weren’t for Ashley’s pivotal position in her mind, Scarlett would not risk her life to rescue Melanie, or even lose her chance to see her mother for the last time. She would not have no regrets and no calmness like Melanie. Her cursing and crying are the amulet she gave herself. And the personable Captain Brad, even if he saw Scarlett in the clothes modified with curtains, his eyes were full of admiration, but because he saw through Scarlett's deception, he cruelly rejected her. Their love for each other, because it is too much like loving themselves, they become struggling and helpless. Even afterwards, because he was embarrassed by Scarlett who couldn't forget Ashiri, he had to turn his love on his daughter. In fact, wasn't it because Bonnie looked like Scarlett who made his heart beloved in the first place? Arrogantly cute, passionate and without scheming, but not the cruelty of the later mature Scarlett. It was Bonnie that made Captain Bryder regain the dignity of a man who was depended on by others.
The most ambiguous in the film is the pair of Melanie and Ashley. I have been wondering what kind of love Ashley has for Scarlett. At first, he seemed to comfort Scarlett and said: "How do you wish to have your passion for life. But I can't marry you, Merlin understands me, we are the same kind of people, and we will be happy." The twelve oak trees were eventually destroyed by the war, but Scarlett's Tad survived because of her unscrupulous rescue. The author Margaret Mitchell compares Tara Manor to the South reborn from the catastrophe, and Ashley's Twelve Oaks Manor is a beautiful memory that will never come back. Like Ashiri himself, he was always a gentle noble, and he could only rely on an informal person like Scarlett to protect him in the disaster. Some people don't like Ashiri, the "gentle and useless" couple Meran. In fact, anyone who has read the novel can see that the author has poured more affection on Ashley, which can be regarded as an elegy to the graceful old south passing by the wind. Similarly, Captain White's most respected and beloved person has always been Mei Lan, a woman who is too weak and unpopular and holy as an angel. From her calmness and tact to deal with the police, and saving Scarlett's face at the banquet regardless of the predecessors, and her friendliness to the prostitute Bella, it can be seen that she is the smartest person in this play, watching like a god. With compassion. She and Ashiri are truly a pair of each other, but their similarity is not as tit for tat as the other pair, but blending together. In this chaotic era, is it not a precious thing to preserve the old elegance?
Scarlett has always admired her noble and kind mother. I don't know how many times she cried and said, fortunately, my mother couldn't see me now. Her reverence for her mother and her persistent love for Ashiri are like her recollection and yearning for the elegant life of the old South. The transformation that the suffering gave her finally made her face the reality firmly, even if she cooperated with "the Yankees who once persecuted and killed us". What she insisted on was only Ashiri's love, then Tara Manor, then Rhett, and finally returned to Tara. She is always such a pure person, like scarlet, warm and thorough. When she stood up in the red haze and said to herself "tomorrow is anther day", I knew she finally understood that the thing she couldn't live without was Tara, Rhett, and her root. In the land where she once stood shoulder to shoulder with her father, she must be able to wait for the return of the lost things.
