1. The power of the land in Gone with the Wind The ancient Greeks used land as a metaphor for women. In ancient China, there is also a legend that Nuwa used clay to create people. The land and women seem to have some kind of sacred commonality - reproduction, reproduction, and endless life. . In "Gone with the Wind", the red land in the south is solemnly mentioned many times. In the eyes of Scarlett's father, "land is the most beautiful thing in the world. It is the only thing that is most valuable and the only thing that lasts in the world. , is the only thing worth your labor, fighting - sacrificing your life." As if it was some kind of revelation, my father made a fortune on the land, and finally died on this red land after falling from a horse. The land is the origin and the destination. In fact, the father's love for soil has already flowed in Scarlett's blood. When Scarlett returned to Tara Manor after all the hardships, the withered scene of her homeland did not frighten her. Above the scorched earth, she clenched her fists and vowed, "I will never starve again in the future. ", Scarlett's reliance and confidence all come from the soil under her feet. I was amazed at Scarlett's strength. If it were me, I would be screaming and panicking just like the female nigger next to her. The former daughter Scarlett was more composure than anyone else, chopping wood to burn fire and cultivate the land. Perhaps man is closest to the divine when he reproduces, because then she knows what is most important. two, Because of the contradictions, Scarlett deserves to be loved as much as she is worthy of being loved. This is my second time watching "Gone with the Wind". At the beginning of the film, the fire of war has not spread to the south, and I saw Scarlett's naughty, willful and exquisite appearance, and saw her ignorant of cruel fate. , I couldn't help but choked my wrist: "Why can't such a lovely girl be so carefree all the time, why do you have to arrange such a fate for her?" The unruly Scarlett didn't like it; and the second time I saw it, I slowly discovered that Scarlett had every reason to be self-willed. She was the daughter of the slave owner of the big plantation, and she lived a prosperous and prosperous life since she was a child. Young and beautiful, from a well-off family, can play, play well, play beautifully, confident, radiant, and full, such a girl is naturally the object of men's gallant and willful confidence. For the beautiful Scarlett, "beautiful woman" is her destiny, but fate has deducted a "chaotic world" in front of beautiful woman. As fortitude as Scarlett, she has also undertaken the honorary title of "Gone with the Wind", which is a sonorous and immortal. This is the fascinating contradiction of Scarlett. She is precious, but she is as cheap as land; she is a beautiful enchantress and the mother of all things.

    Rewatching, it is rare to see that the heroine image of a movie is not completely positive. Scarlett Scarlett is indeed scarlet, strong, tenacious, loyal to herself and full of vitality, but she is also quite selfish, shrewd, and sometimes even vicious
