I want to write a film review about Scarlett and Melanie. Let me start with one point. In any case, I love Scarlett very much and I also respect women like Melanie.

Because Ashley used to have an ambiguous relationship with the innocent, cute, ignorant and wayward Scarlett, maybe even dating, but in the end he married the gentle and generous Melanie, Scarlett and Melanie inevitably Become a rival in love from the beginning.

Scarlett’s feelings are very pure from beginning to end. She loves Asri and the expression is very obvious. It is obvious that everyone knows about it. She didn’t like Melanie at first, and it was obvious that Melanie herself I feel that in the world of a little girl, she doesn't have to pretend or think about others, just follow her heart.

Scarlett went straight to Asri to ask why she married someone else, and also to express her love straightforwardly. After being rejected by Asri, she still did not have a low and noble head. Her willfulness and pride were all carved into her bones, like a An untamable wild horse, it's hard to say whether Asri loves Scarlett in his heart, but Rhett is really attracted to her, and she didn't expect Scarlett to marry Melanie's younger brother in a fit of anger.

Then, when the Civil War broke out and her first husband died on the battlefield, she was not sad, but angry that she had to be in mourning and could not go to the prom, and could not wear beautiful clothes. Her eyes were still full of innocence, as if war and widowhood had nothing to do with her. .

If it weren't for Vivien Leigh's very natural interpretation, I think some of Scarlett's behavior has reached a level that normal people can't accept, but Scarlett has quickly changed.

The war took away the peace of life, took away the material superiority, and took away the men who were able to carry heavy burdens outside the family at that time. Only a group of women were left to lead a life of increasingly poverty. Scarlett accepted Ace. Li’s request, take care of Melanie and the child in her belly.

Under the circumstances of poverty, Scarlett became the person who stood in front of Melanie instead of Asri, and the relationship with Melanie became friendly, and finally became friends.

From no sense of responsibility, to a sense of responsibility, finally shouldering the burden of the family. From self-respect, to compassion for others, and finally to understanding the difficulties of others. From innocent and ignorant to calm and sophisticated, a war changed her in various ways.

However, Scarlett was still proud, and when she was too tired of food, she could stand up, raise her head, and vowed that she would change the status quo by herself and never live such a life again. To seduce the younger sister's fiance, make him the second husband, and protect the father's manor, without having to explain the whole story to others.

Becoming Melanie’s friend and helping Melanie out of many difficulties, she still loves Asri, even if she finally marries Rhett, her love is so obvious that everyone can see it until she finally loses Rhett. Realize that I can't live without him.

At this time, it’s time to talk about the difference between Scarlett and Melanie. No matter how Scarlett changes, she takes herself as the core of her life in her heart. She loves Asri, and she doesn’t need to consider anyone, including the feelings of Asri. , And Melanie takes her husband as the core of her life. At the last moment of her life, she begs a woman who has always loved her husband to take good care of her husband.

This should be the reason why Ashley married Melanie, because she is a good wife who always thinks of herself. In the eyes of the world, she is a perfect woman, and Scarlett and her In comparison, it seems to have a lot of problems.

However, Scarlett still has the shining points that attract me the most. No matter how many shortcomings she has under the worldly dogma, she still makes Rhide fall in love with her and fall into her madness and addiction.

Some people say that Rhett should also marry a woman like Melanie and lead a dull and happy life. This is a sensible choice.

But Rhett doesn't love Melanie, he loves Scarlett. Scarlett's every move makes Rhett happy or painful. If he marries a Melanie, then his heart should be calm, right? There is no pain, and there is not much joy.

So how do you choose between love and reason? can not say it clearly.
