There are several long shots in the whole film that freeze the silhouettes of people at dusk. The one before the intermission, that is, the one after eating the carrot, and the one when I cursed at the sky, impressed me the most. Yes, there is no doubt that this is a milestone in the transformation of Miss Scarlett.
Vivien Leigh's acting skills are absolutely outstanding, with many levels. The rich lady she plays is definitely the best match for Mary Sue. Let's take a look at the little princess scenes of different concentrations:
At the beginning of the movie, when a pair of brothers are here to please Miss Scarlett, they are absolutely pure little princesses, with a concentration of 100%;
when they come to Ashley, they are eager for his love, and at this time they put down some body, but Still arrogant, with a concentration of 90%;
when wearing black clothes to be a widow for Ashley's brother-in-law, she still did not cover her arrogance, with a concentration of 80%;
when I was a nurse in the hospital, I saw many amputated limbs and stumps. I have also seen the impermanence of war, and I only have a little cleanliness of my own, with a concentration of 60%;
when I saw Butler, when I came with new clothes, when I asked him to drive the car, the concentration of the little princess rose sharply and returned in seconds. 100%;
when eating the radish, I cried and vowed to the sky not to go hungry again, the little princess was confiscated the pleated skirt, and the concentration was instantly sucked up to 0;
after that, it has been 0;
after the war, Ashley came back to the manor, When the little princess showed her love to him again, her posture had changed. I think it would be around 40% at this time.
When the prison met Butler again to cheat money, it would return to 100% in an instant. When she
came out and passed the grocery store, she saw The sister's fiancé seems to be quite rich, and when he seduced him, he managed to do 70%, but this is fatal enough for a man;
then the little princess slowly fell back to 0;
Butler came again, to seduce her, She has returned to 100% of the little princess concentration, and it is no longer bad, more and more excessive, almost approaching 120%/covering her face.
No further expressions were subsequently made.
Let's observe that, in fact, while nibbling on the radish, the little princess has actually disappeared, turning Miss Scarlett into a person who dares to take a headshot with a gun and calmly search for her purse. The screenwriter's intentions must be mentioned here. In some details, Miss Scarlett's intentions were expressed to us. Thinking about it carefully, when batches of soldiers and victims passed by the manor to eat and drink, Scarlett expressed dissatisfaction. It can be seen that the once kind little princess has completely become a philistine housewife who only pays attention to food and drink expenses. Then we got to the fence. Then came the moment to witness the truth.
A tired wanderer came from afar (I don't remember the exact lines here, but that's probably what it means).
The servant said: Oh, look at that, there is another beggar!
Scarlett: Ouch, I'll go, don't be very hungry!
Melanie: Yeah! It's my husband! (Then ran towards the beggar in the distance)
Scarlett has expressed her admiration for Ashley many times in the movie, but we have not found any other evidence other than verbal (sorry, although it is about love It seems a bit presumptuous to need evidence), even in Yang Dechang's "One One", we all saw that Yangyang practiced breathing in the bathroom in order to experience the feeling of swimming with the little sister we liked, but Scarlett really had nothing else. Showing her admiration for Ashley—except for marrying his brother-in-law in a fit of anger. On the other hand, apart from making a promise to each other when Ashley kissed Melanie at the Oak Manor Barbecue Club, there was not much chance for the couple to show their affection in the movie (no way, who Let's say you are two men and two women), but Melanie and Ashley are very in love, and not seeing it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Ashley may be the first person the little princess loves in her life, and because she is willful and stubborn, she is too obsessed - she may have never tasted the feeling that she wants and can't get. So this is a symbol-like existence, and we are not afraid of the existence of the youth imprint marked with regret, but if this imprint has been dangling in front of you for several years, it cannot be too relieved. Ashley is the symbol of Scarlett. People like to miss the past when they are not happy, especially when the tax is too much to pay and it is a headache.
Therefore, Scarlett didn't love Ashley so much - "With my love for you, I can recognize you from a distance as long as I glance at your figure" This love sentence can only be fulfilled by Melanie.
When the camera came to the prison, and the eldest lady came as a guest in a "fancy dress" made of velvet curtains and tried to borrow some money from Butler, this kind of downright arrogance told me: the mustache in front of her is her favorite people. Here again, I think Scarlett’s performance is very layered. Although there are little princesses everywhere, they can actually let the audience notice which ones are the real returning little princesses and which ones are fabricated. This is indeed the industry. Benchmark.
Sometimes it is said that the person you love will make you grow into an adult overnight. This sentence may sometimes be true, but it definitely does not apply to Miss Scarlett. For her, I think "the person you love will turn you back into a child overnight" is more applicable. Every time Butler appeared, she would instantly change back to that unreasonable little princess. Therefore, in front of loved ones, everyone may not pretend to be mature, and most of the time let go of childishness. Generally speaking, after a major accident, the transformation of a person's character is irreversible. If it is reversed, I think it is because of true love. Isn't that the case with Scarlett.
Carrots with mud are the growth factor of fate. After we eat them, we do not wait for someone to appreciate our maturity. Probably, just waiting for someone to make us want to rejuvenate.
