See, therein lies the difference of someone who has read the book (you) as compared to someone who has only seen the movie (me).
The same thing could be said of those who have only seen LOTR in film, like my husband. He doesn't get the big picture yet. I'm sure by the time he is done with the trilogy, he will be fully under the power of the Ring. LOL!
Well, I thought you described the movie pretty acurately. So, after you read GWTW, give me a freepmail and we can see if you agree with my opinion of the Scarlett/Ashley relationship.
