Favorite Feature Film

The reason for watching the movie is because of the book, the first reading was in Chinese, and then in English, although it was difficult and strenuous to read at that time. In the environment at the time, there were few people around reading such books, so when I was obsessed with a row of eight oak trees, cat-like eyes, and a pale green skirt, there were basically no people and spaces to share.
When I had the conditions to watch this film, I watched it three times greedily, and then it was firmly and deeply imprinted in my heart.
Clark Gable is undoubtedly cool and charming, but my eyes are on Scarlett. The background of the war that cannot be ignored, the grand language of the camera, the right soundtrack, and many main characters with different personalities, in my eyes, they are all just the background and foil around Scarlett. In this way, the Scarlett in my heart came to me in the voice and shadow of Vivien Leigh, with all my girlhood fantasies, dreams, courage, and desires, lounging on the swing frame. Scarlett really came to life as she stood under the oak tree, winking her beautiful cat-like eyes. I love her so much that I love Wudi and Vivienne, not only because of her beauty, but also because of her soft and hard heart, her self-inflicted but uncomplaining experience, and her delicate or cruel behavior, Love her true and selfish love. She is not perfect, she is sometimes utilitarian and stupid, and her love is not beautiful and beautiful, so what attracts me to her?
Later, I finally figured out that she was the self who could be rebellious and willful in my heart. Her experience was my paranoid preference for enriching my life when I was young.
The most important thing about this film for me is that it gave me a figurative Scarlett, allowing me to imagine infinitely possible futures during my adolescence.
