In today's epic age

A well-deserved epic.

Prince Salina said: "We are the descendants of lions and leopards, but we are replaced by wolves and earth dogs. But those of us, lions, leopards, jackals, wild dogs or sheep, who live together in this era, consider ourselves the most honorable. "

The whole film reminds me of the beautiful country palace, an all-night dance that took 50 minutes to depict, and the lonely but noble back of the prince. There is always a contradiction in the works depicting the last nobility, the new replaces the old, the old must be bad, but the new must be good?

The prince had to accept the revolution, and compromised or even complied with it. He never thought of going back to the past, but he was unable to continue his life. He rejected the candidacy, and he was not used to the vulgarity that he looked down on. He just inevitably felt that he was getting old. He looked at the newlyweds swirling on the dance floor and answered others' praise for the palace. : No, they are the most beautiful.

He walked slowly from the ball to the house alone, at the door of the church, looking at the white sky, knelt down on one knee, at that moment, although he already represented a bygone era, he was still a king.

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.
