If it is used to shoot Jiang's...

"We are leopards, we are lions. In our place, jackals and jackals. We, leopards, lions, jackals, jackals, sheep, all of us feel noble."

Another epic of Sicily, a tribute to the final demise of dignity and nobility.

The original author is from a noble family, and this elegy is particularly soulful, making you follow his position unconsciously (much like the southern perspective in Gone With the Wind). Director Visconti understands this feeling, so the pictures, costumes and sets are all exquisite. The beauty of prosperity and decline makes people cry.

But it is precisely because the two are too involved in the play, so the background of the times is not enough, and the audience can feel the same by default. It seemed a little arrogant.

Alain Delon's Yan Zan couldn't help holding his face for half the time, but there is a little "vase" in this film, and I spent the last time licking "uncle" (Prince Salina), he was old and sad at the end. The face makes people sad.

The last fifty minutes of the dance scene coincided with the beginning of his conversation with the priest. "The middle class isn't going to destroy us, it's going to replace us."

After the class was loosened, the face of justice who rose up in battle ended up bragging under the intertwining of gongs and chips.

The self-proclaimed emperor who overthrew the monarchy, rebelled against the indulgence of capital, and laughed at the mediocre and vigorous kitsch—it is a bit hopeless to think about it.

Of course, I also think of Jiang Wen's "One Step Away" in the past, learned the surface, but not to the bone.

If you are bold, you should put the story on Jiang's body. I have all the text in mind. Peaceful Point, Jiang Youbai, "The Nobleman on the Edge of the Cliff". Don't be afraid of death, Zhang Yihe, "The Past Is Not Like Smoke".

    The best movie at this year's Beijing Film Festival! Crying bitterly for the loneliness at the end is not to sympathize with Visconti's subjective display of the last nobleman going dark, but to propose that envy young and face death is the eternal proposition that will change in the future. Every frame can be viewed as an oil painting. The male protagonist who looks like a leopard is American, and Alain Delon is French. Compared with Italy, where masters were rampant in that era, the current film industry is in decline. Archives 4K Restoration

    "Frequent marriages of close relatives did not improve their pedigree. Look at them like a group of monkeys, ready to climb up the candlestick and wag their tails to show their buttocks." So, what is the meaning of such a gorgeous and grand dinner? I don't know how many acres of land can be exchanged. Times changed.

The Leopard 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.
