The heroine is much better than the one described in the book, after all, it is a movie.
After reading the original book and then watching it, it is a bit awkward that the final movie changed the cause of Rebecca's death. In the book Rebecca succeeds in prodding Maxime to shoot her, but in the movie...if I understand correctly, Rebecca accidentally tripped herself and killed her? This does not match her shrewd image of holding Mandoli firmly from birth to death.
And if Maxim hadn't killed her with his own hands, his psychological burden would not have been so heavy. However... as an American movie, it must not tolerate a murdered male protagonist getting away with it (of course, any country's movie is not very good for such a male protagonist. And after I read the original book, I did feel sorry for Mike The fact that Sim killed Rebecca was a little uncomfortable).
In addition, although the final outcome is that Mandoli was burned, but from the movie, it can be felt that this is the past that has disappeared with the wind, which means that the people and things in the sad past have disappeared, and the male and female protagonists are very likely. Start a new life from scratch. But I can't feel this kind of pleasure from the original work. The original work uses flashbacks, so I saw the life of the male and female protagonists many years later.
