Gone with the Wind

The first time I met Reese Witherspoon was in the "Legal Blonde" series of films with a very Hollywood commercial flavor. A blond American sweetheart bar Harvard and the solemn courtroom mingling. Afterwards, I watched her performances in "Like in Heaven" and "Sweet Home Alabama". They have similar themes and stereotyped plots. They are also youth romance films. They are handsome and beautiful, relaxed and romantic. Impressions are limited to this.
Later, when I saw that she won the Oscar, I admired her very much and began to pay attention. Found Vanity Fair and couldn't resist watching. Probably preconceived, this blond and blue-eyed typical American sweet girl wears a tight-fitting English-style floor-length dress and has a not-so-authentic London accent, which really made me get used to it for a while.
Her acting skills can't be considered bad, and it seems that she can't get rid of the shadow in "Legal". The slightly blunt British accent is probably the biggest failure. Even the little actor who played her son was more authentic than she said.
But in general, the film's portrayal of Becky as a character is relatively successful. I think in addition to Reese's efforts, it is inseparable from the film's broad perspective and rich characters.
After reading all of them, I unknowingly think of the proud, strong, intelligent, and conceited Hao Sijia in Gone with the Wind. They also have proud beauty and extraordinary alertness. They have also experienced a life of displacement and faced the same Through the test of survival, he also used his weak but strong body and mind to carry his family and his entire life on one shoulder. Unyielding to the arrangement of fate, actively and tenaciously creating their own life.

    Compared with the original, Becky is a little less seductive and Amy is a little less haggard, or the two ladies are a little less aura. But I think the movie is still good~ ps: The director is an Indian, so many Indian elements are implanted.

    I don't like the ending of the BBC movie version.
