"Gone with the Wind" gave me the happiness lesson

The characters in Gone with the Wind are unique and charming. Melanie, who always wears simple clothes after marriage, always has a heart that is tolerant and affectionate to the person she loves; Rhett, who can maintain a neither humble nor arrogant attitude even in front of the person she loves, is determined enough to leave if she loves passionately; Ashley, who saw the reality but couldn't forget the past, did not reveal the fact that she loved Melanie more than Scarlett after Melanie passed away; Jiali has a sincere heart that the man she meets on the way is just out of reach.

Love, ideals, beauty, wealth, preference... Can these concepts we pursue really make people happy after they get them? In this happiness class, many students shared their experiences.

Reed lives a life he likes. At a barbecue party, he fell in love with Scarlett at first sight, and since then expressed his affectionate love to her and began to pursue her passionately. Finally, he embraced the beauty and got the love he was looking for. However, married life is accompanied by his wife's different dreams, his daughter's untimely death after falling from a horse, and his wife's accidental miscarriage due to falling off the stairs during a quarrel. Compared with his previous life, is such a life really as free and happy as his previous life? Finally, he had had enough of all this and chose to return to his hometown of Charles.

If you don't want to worry about thinking about whether the other person loves you or not, let's go. Not because we didn't love each other, and you don't have to blame yourself. Just because I got tired of this riddle game and chose the life I wanted more at this time. The long-term pain has made me reflect on what I want now.

Ashley's classmate coincided with the Civil War period, and he resolutely joined the army during the war. He is brave and good at fighting, just to defend the Twelve Oaks in his heart and defend the peaceful and harmonious life here, because this is his ideal. With the arrival of a new era, the steel torrent in the north will replace the idyll in the south. In front of the wheel of history, Twelve Oaks has been reduced to the thin pages of a history book. But he can't forget it, clinging to his ideals, which makes him recognize the reality and escape it, lose his vitality and stop moving forward.

Clinging to an ideal is fine, but if it is unrealistic, it will only add to your suffering.

Scarlett is a natural beauty, with a beauty that women envy to the point of hatred. The cruelty of the war made her realize that to survive in troubled times, she must live independently and freely. In order to survive, she cut off her sister's lover, hired criminals regardless of ethics, destroyed her country but started a speculative business with the Yankees... Finally, she also has her own wealth. Her unique personality is also favored by Rhett. In order to win Ashley's heart, she can do anything for him, but Ashley is always her white moonlight, which also slowly and step by step smashes Rhett's heart, smashes a and The hearts of men who love each other deeply. In the end, she chose to return to the starting point of her emotions - Tara Manor.

Don't always walk with binoculars, happiness may be all around you. Focusing on the distance will inevitably blur the people around you. When making a choice or drawing a conclusion, remember to take off the telescope and look around, taking into account the "gain" and "loss", and the answer you get may be more satisfactory.

For every action, it can only be said that it is an attempt to pursue happiness, not the only way to go.

    The classics are worth reviewing again and again. Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable, the temperament, looks, expressions, and demeanor of the two are my personal images. A thick masterpiece has been successfully adapted into a classic movie, the director and screenwriter of Gone with the Wind , The producer contributed a lot.

    One of the most successful films adapted from a rare masterpiece. Although the plot of the war has been cut a lot, it is still flawed. This film is the first color film to win an Oscar, and the picture is really great! Vivien Leigh’s acting skills are amazing, and the soundtrack is very good~ I was worried about getting sleepy for too long, but I didn’t expect to be in the show at once, and I was made tears again... Scarlett, Brad, Melanie, Ashley , The settings of these four roles are realistic and thought-provoking. (9.5/10)

Gone with the Wind quotes

  • Scarlett: Now I didn't come to talk silliness about me, Rhett. I came 'cause I was so miserable at the thought of you in trouble. Oh, I know I was mad at you the night you left me on the road to Tara, and I still haven't forgiven you!

    Rhett Butler: Oh, Scarlett! Don't say that!

    Scarlett: Well I must admit I might not be alive now, only for you. And when I think of myself with everything I could possibly hope for, and not a care in the world... And you here in this horrid jail... and not even a human jail, Rhett, a horse jail!

  • Scarlett: Great balls of fire! HICCUP! It's Rhett!
