    Lampedusa perfectly presents the history of the decline and fall of the Catholic aristocracy in a novel style, and Visconti endows it with a solemn image. This is not so much a movie as it is civilization...

    When the nobles photograph the royal family, they cherish each other in loneliness; the sense of flowing oil paintings is luxurious and generous; the tigers and leopards are replaced by wolves, and the classes must be replaced; Alain Delon is really a creampie (jealous and cute), Burt Lancaster has a rough and masculine line; the heroine Claudia only played in the opening hour, and the second half of the social dance was also filmed for an hour. Does the director dare to make it; he still loves...

    History always repeats itself in a loop, because human beings keep repeating the same mistakes. Human nature always sinks into the despicable, so people in their sleep are all confused ghosts who don't want to be awakened. Pride and extravagance are the life passions of the powerful, and sensuality is the life creed of those with vested interests. Sleeping in the glory of the past is very happy for the sleeper, but it is endless sadness in the eyes of the dreamer. Visconti is the recorder of...

    The Sicilian version of "Dream of Red Mansions", an elegy for the age of Jian Bao. It turned out that from feudalism to republic, only one waltz was needed. Visconti really burns...

    Visconti's style is so boring and not showy, but it can deceive so much investment, which is really admirable. . ....

    For viewers with no background in that history, the film is extremely boring. The director's thinking is too literary. Photography, acting, scenery, costumes, and the psychology of the characters can all show his high taste. If you like this tone and don't care about the drama, it's easy to indulge in this "last noble" atmosphere. For me, the scene in which Claudia laughs wildly can barely keep people from falling...

    Aesthetic... all talented classical artists have gone to make movies. The pictures are beautiful, but the protagonists and stories are often missing, which tests the viewing habits... At that time, many prospective directors who were young seemed to like this film? I heard that I can't make it back......

The Leopard quotes

  • Don Francisco Ciccio Tumeo: But even in the best kept houses secrets come out. Servants talk.

  • Princess Maria Stella Salina: I never could endure that fop! You lost your head over him! And he has the impertinence to ask you, his uncle, father of the girl he has deceived, to carry his proposal to that rascal, the father of that slut! You mustn't do it!

    Prince Don Fabrizio Salina: Enough! You don't know what you're saying. Angelica is not a slut. She may become one, but for now she's a girl like any other, prettier than others, who wants to make a good marriage.
