Where Scarlett and the doctor are in a tight close-up, just their gigantic faces, and she is pleading/demanding that he go deliver Ashley's kid, and she demands and expects (not for Melanie's sake). And the doc tells her oh-so-gently-but-firmly that he just.can't.go. And the camera pans away slowly to reveal the row by row of thousands of wounded soldiers in the background, then fixes on the (damned) rebel flag.

Talk about making a point (about Scarlett's selfishness)!1 And the different chill that that flag carries now instead of the Romanticism.

No. That scene was okay, but when she got home and Tara was ruined. Liberal Veteran May 2013 #9

Yeah, I was citing my own scene, which I think supports your premise. UTUSN May 2013 #11
