DYM; Film Still

The film still I have chosen is Scarlet O'hara surrounded by suitors in the 1939 film Gone with the Wind starring Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable.

Why I chose this film still;
1.  This picture raises a lot of questions about who the girl is and why so many men are crowding around her.
2. The framing of the shot is quite interesting, as the men around the girl are forming a frame within a frame.
3. The girls bright clothes and lively countenance juxtapose with the dark clothes and tranquil facial expressions of the men surrounding her.
4. The girl's relationships with the people around her are interesting, as they all seem to be interested in her, shown by their facial expressions and posture.
