      "The Panther": An Epic Dedicated to the Nobles

      This may be the first time I've seen a fully live-action film. Visconti's use of long and short shots is so perfect! The director asked the actors to have a level of performance, self-liberation, and venting, which is quite interesting because, overall, the film does not pay attention to the acting skills of most of the characters. Figure 1 should be the most recent shot in the entire film because its plot development does not require too many emotional expressions of individual...

      The few idealized nobility in Movie The Leopard

      The movie concretized the dance scene that I can only see in the novel. The ladies with fans and pouches on their wrists are so intimate. So many people!

      dusty gem

      If you leave the plot, you can only comment from the visual point of view. Looking at the appearance of the protagonist Prince Salina is enough to lick the screen. The temperament precipitated by the years is really not something that can be described by a crude and vulgar "handsome". The heroine Angelica was as beautiful as a goddess the moment she left the country. Look at the various backgrounds, the grand castles, the grandeur of the buildings, and the silk tutu skirts on the ladies at the...

      Minority Grief

      There are very few leopards. Most of the world is a coyote and a jackal. The leopard is a small minority of big animals, and its beauty is a bit desolate. This seems to be an elegy of the old times, but the wonderful thing is that it is not a work that glorifies the layers of the old times.

      The soft-left stance of the film is expressed through Prince Salina: I support the new force of historical change in my heart, but I cannot invest in it to add fuel to it, because I still belong to...

      Noble

      coyote, jackal, leopard, lion

      It is said that aristocratic temperament takes at least three generations to develop. Gradually, I deeply agree with

      Unlike the literati temperament, the literati only needs to be nurtured and cultivated by books (humanistic thoughts), and he can cultivate the literati...

      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...

    Movie plot

    Prince Don Fabrizio Salina ( Burt Lancaster ) heard that Garibaldi’s army had landed in Sicily. The Prince regarded this incident as a clear threat to his current social status, and his nephew Child Don Credi Falconeri ( Alain Delon ), an opportunist, relies on the incident to become an officer under Garibaldi's banner and returns to his hometown as a war hero. Don Reddy began with the new mayor Calogero Sedara Don ( Paolo Stoppa...

    Movie quotes

    • Prince Don Fabrizio Salina: We were the leopards, the lions, those who take our place will be jackals and sheep, and the whole lot of us - leopards, lions, jackals and sheep - will continue to think ourselves the salt of the earth.

    • Prince Don Fabrizio Salina: Sleep, my dear Chevalley, eternal sleep, that is what Sicilians want. And they will always resent anyone who tries to awaken them, even to bring them the most wonderful of gifts. And, between ourselves, I doubt very strongly whether this new Kingdom has very many gifts for us in its luggage. All Sicilian expression, even the most violent, is really a wish for death. Our sensuality, wish for oblivion. Our knifings and shootings, a hankering after extinction. Our laziness, our spiced and drugged sherbets, a desire for voluptuous immobility, that is... for death again.

    • Prince Don Fabrizio Salina: And you, Don Ciccio, how did you vote on the 21st?

      Don Francisco Ciccio Tumeo: [coughs up drink]

      Prince Don Fabrizio Salina: What are you afraid of? There's no one else here but us, the wind, the dogs.

      Don Francisco Ciccio Tumeo: Excuse me, Excellency, but that question is useless. You know that everyone in Donnafugata voted, voted 'yes'. They said you, yourself, advised those who couldn't decide to vote like that.

      Prince Don Fabrizio Salina: I did, indeed. So, you voted 'yes', hmm...

      Don Francisco Ciccio Tumeo: [walks up to the Prince, and then walks away] No, Excellency! I voted absolutely 'no'! No, I swear I voted 'no'! I know, Excellency, I know what you told me: necessity, unity and opportunity, Excellency. And you might be right, afterall. Politics I know nothing about, I leave that to all the others. But Ciccio Tumeo cannot be walked on! An obscure artist... poor and miserable, with holes in his pants, maybe. But benefits he's received, I promise you, he'll never forget! As you know, Excellency, it was Queen Isabella, of Spain, who was Dutchess of Calabria then, who made me study, and allowed me to be who I wanted: Organist of the Mother Church, honored by the benevolence of Your Excellency, and be a respected citizen. The years we were in terrible need, when my poor mother sent a petition up to her court, the money arrived to help us, sure as death every month! And if, today, these holy Kings and lovely Queens, were looking down from Heaven... what would they say? Would they feel that Don Ciccio Tumeo betrayed them? No, Excellency, no! Fortunately they know the truth in paradise.
