    Real noble movies-the original authors and film directors are all born nobles. The revolutionary changes in Sicily have been integrated into the family of Prince Salina, and there is no story of grabbing horses, but undercurrents of emotions. The last ball (and the painting) is the curtain call of the powerful and the handover. Only the sleek speculators can survive like the jackal and the coyote. Bertrand Lancaster is really...

    Lu Xun: "If my flesh and blood should be fed to animals, I would rather feed the liger eagle falcon, but I will not feed it to mangy dogs. After fattening the liger eagle falcon, they are magnificent in the sky, rock horns, deserts, and bushes. In the zoo, it is fascinating to be killed and made into specimens, and to eliminate the contemptuous heart. But raising a group of mangy dogs will only drill and bark, how...

    Three brushes, Visconti's highest work. 1. The film is set in Sicily, Italy in 1860. Through the journey of Prince Salina, it reflects the inevitable fate of being in the mighty trend of social change, and the inevitable destiny of the original power and the declining. Visconti gave "Leopard" a heavy epic texture, that is, it presents the historical significance of the times and the false "real" depiction and praise. The exquisite and luxurious costume setting, as well as the magnificent scenes...

    Cannes, who has always admired elegance, and Visconti’s later aristocratic temperament sympathize with each other. The three-hour gorgeous video shows the last bit of luxury of the Sicilian aristocracy before the impact of the times. The last nearly 50 minutes of the banquet scene can be compared with the beginning of ``Deer Hunter''. The powerful visual impact and the hustle and bustle are like the back light of the nobles before the fall. You may be regarded as a kind of conquest if you lure...

    Four and a half stars. The last miraculous 50-minute dance party was unparalleled not only because of the rich metaphors, technically flawless scheduling, or the strong elegy of the end of the aristocratic era at the symbolic level, but also because only in this scene Here, the Marxist Visconti really made room for the prince to transcend the identity of the spokesperson of the class, to dig deeper into the tragic emotions of his individual soul: the meditation on death in front of the...

    #北影节重看# 1. No matter which country the film industry is in, when dealing with historical themes, it will always encounter the problem of "using history to lead people" or "using people to lead history". In the West, the film industry generally adopts the expression method of "using people to lead history", and what viewpoint to adopt to write history is a key issue. In many western historical films, one can often see the interpretation of history from the viewpoint of historical idealism, or...

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.
