Personal reaction: Over a long period of my childhood, Gone with the wind had been my favorite movie. I watched it every week before I left home to my boarding school. So every time the movie played the part which Rhett left Scarlett weeping on the floor, I felt the fear because I know my departure was also going to come. It 's hard to say what kind of enlightenment this movie had given to me since I was too young to understand some deep meanings and elements in this movie. All I know was that Scarlett loses the one she really loves and it made me cry every time when I saw Rhett left Scarlett alone in the end. However, this is my first time reviewing Gone with the Wind since I have grown up. And I am shocked by her firmness and strong will. She is really encountering many difficulties and tragedies in her life. But each time, no matter how desperate and how enormous the sorrow she feels, she can still get up and fight.
She has such a powerful mind and courage, which even the war and chaos cannot break to pieces. The scene that she makes a vow of never getting starve again and her figure in the red clouds were stayed in my mind forever. Her vitality and survival ability is as tenacious and tough as the oaks. Whenever I see her, there is always hope in life no matter what kind of difficulties
