Titolo: via col vento

Non ho mai capito una cosa del film in questione:
quando Rossella O'Hara ha bisogno di 300 dollari per pagare le tasse,
ricatta lo spasimante di sua sorella, facendosi sposare da lui e ottenendo i
300 dollari...ma che ca##o significa?
15 anni che lo vdo, 15 anni che non lo capisco!
Che razza di transizione č?

E' una forma di prostituzione.

 Che razza di transizione è?
Non lo ricatta, gli fa credere che la sorella stia per sposare un
altro e lo persuade a sposare lei, invece. 
Comunque lato finanziario mi era oscuro anche a me, ma ho trovato il
copione che chiarisce:
Se lui fosse andato avanti nei suoi piani, avrebbe speso tutti i suoi
risparmi (circa 1000$) in una casa ad Atlanta in cui poter portare a
vivere la
sorella di Rossella una volta sposata.
Invece Rossella diventando sua moglie gli fa cambiare i piani economici:
lui non compra piu' casa e le da i 300$ per le tasse di Tara.
Un po' contorto, ma efficace...per l'epoca.

Chapter 9 Scarlett's Second Marriage
(Scarlett leaves the jail in burning anger. But the 
visit of Scarlett and her new dress to Atlanta is not 
a complete futility. She meets Frank Kennedy, Sue 
Ellen's beau.)
FRANK
Surely it can't be Miss Scarlett!
SCARLETT
Why, Frank Kennedy!
FRANK
And Mammie...
MAMMIE
It sure is good to see home folks.
FRANK
I didn't know you were in Atlanta.
SCARLETT
I didn't know you were.
FRANK
Didn't Miss Sue Ellen tell you about my store?
SCARLETT
Did she, I don't remember. Have you a store? This?
FRANK
Won't you come in, look around a bit?
(Into the store)
I don't suppose it looks like much to a lady, but I 
can't help being proud of it.
SCARLETT
You're not making money?
FRANK
Well, I can't complain. In fact I'm mighty 
encouraged. Folks tell me I'm just a born merchant. 
It won't be long now before Miss Sue Ellen and I can 
marry.
SCARLETT
Well , you're doing as well as all that?
FRANK
Yes, I am. Miss Scarlett. I'm no millionaire yet, but 
I have cleared a thousand dollars already.
SCARLETT
And lumber too.
FRANK
Well, that's only a sideline.
SCARLETT
A sideline, Frank? With all the good Georgia pine 
around Atlanta, and all this building going on?
FRANK
Well, all that takes money, Miss Scarlett, and, I got 
to be thinking about buying a home.
SCARLETT
What would you want a home for?
FRANK
For Miss Sue Ellen and me to set up housekeeping.
SCARLETT
Here in Atlanta. You'd want to bring her to Atlanta, 
wouldn't you? There wouldn't be much help in that for 
Tara.
FRANK
I don't rightly know what you mean, Miss Scarlett.
SCARLETT
I don't mean a thing. Frank, how'd you like to drive 
me out to my Aunt Pitty's?
FRANK
Oh, nothing could give me more pleasure, Miss 
Scarlett.
SCARLETT
I think you'd better stay for supper, too. I'm sure 
Aunt Pitty would be agreeable and I know I'd like a 
good long visit with you.
FRANK
Oh, you act on me just like a tonic, Miss Scarlett. 
And will you tell me all the news, all the news of 
Miss Sue Ellen? What's the matter, Miss Scarlett? 
Miss Sue Ellen's not ill, is she?
SCARLETT
Oh, no, no. I thought surely she had written you. I 
guess she was ashamed to write to you. She should be 
ashamed. Oh how awful to have such a mean sister.
FRANK
You must tell me, Miss Scarlett. Don't leave me on 
the tenderhooks.
SCARLETT
Well, she's going to marry one of the county boys 
next month. She just got tired of waiting and was 
afraid she'd be an old maid and...Oh, I'm sorry to be 
the one to tell you. Oh, it's cold, and I left my 
muff at home. Would you mind if I put my hand in your 
pocket?
(Scarlett returns to Tara as Mrs. Kennedy, with 300 
dollars, to face Sue Ellen's broken heart and the 
astonishment of the other people.)

Io invece avrei trovato molto + sensato questo: Rossella si fa dare i 300
dollari e in cambio gli dà la possibilità di sposare la sorella :-)))

 dollari e in cambio gli dà la possibilità di sposare la sorella :-)))
Eh eh eh. Si vede che i ricatti erano improponibili in quel film, molto
piu' che le seduzioni a scopo di lucro, a quanto pare. :-)
Oppure avrebbe potuto persuadere la sorella a persuadere il futuro
marito a farsi dare i soldi oppure avrebbe potuto chiedergli i soldi in
prestito come aveva fatto con Rhett Butler
promettendogli una restituzione con interessi oppure...ma forse quella
era la soluzione piu' veloce.
Se vai a cercare "soluzioni piu' sensate" nel mondo del cinema, non ne
esci piu'...

non nel mondo del cinema...
il "fattaccio" è presente nel libro.
