After reading it, my emotions sank into the back of Prince Salina who knelt to pray and got up and left alone. I got a sentiment that was both pessimistic and hopeless. This kind of sentiment seems to have nothing to do with myself, and I feel that it is lowering its posture as a warning, like the prince’s helpless posture lowering.
The film is based on the main line of Prince Salina. He is a nobleman in a practical sense, but also a spiritual aristocrat. The reason why the spiritual aristocracy is emphasized is because in my opinion, he is different from those around him on the spiritual level. For aristocratic people, if "Leopard" is described as the epic of the decline of the aristocracy, then Prince Salina is a demarcation point. He inherited the one in front of him, and no one behind him can or is willing to inherit. This character is surprisingly frank, he is always in a state of telling, and everyone around him seems to be listening, but in fact, none of them really understand his voice. If the seemingly high-sounding group of "nobles" can't make you feel empathy, then just consider "nobles" as a carrier. The contradiction between material and spirit discussed in "Leopard", the inherent experience and change of people The contradictions of reality, the irreconcilable contradictions that are entangled and entangled within the individual, the contradiction between the change of survival and the necessary death, these are all of us that each of us can truly experience and must accept reconciliation.
I like the prince very much. He is noble and charming. The accumulation of years has given him a unique temperament that those proud young people do not have. Angelica, the keen nephew of the prom, is attracted by this-such a man, Even if he appears in front of you as an elder, you will undoubtedly fall in love with him. He exudes an irresistible masculine charm, which fascinates women-but the wife who has been with him all his life is obviously an uninteresting person. Panic, crying and crying, she has no opinion, and can be said to be very boring. She is "a woman who crosses her chest before every hug and only says'Virgin Mary' afterwards...", the prince "born with her I have seven children, but I have never seen her belly button." For this reason, the prince can only go to Huajie Liuxiang to seek comfort.
The irreconcilability between marriage, family, status, ancestry, and personal pursuits is a very prominent contradiction. The aristocratic partner is not the result of their free choice to some extent. At the grand ball, Prince Salina looked at and smiled happily. Looking at the frolicking crowd, he said sarcastically: “Frequent marriages with close relatives did not improve their pedigree. Look at them like a group of monkeys...prepare to climb the candlestick and wag their tails to show their ass.” One of the prince’s daughters, Consetta, loved it deeply. I went to my cousin Taclodi, but he single-handedly contributed to the marriage of Taclodi and Angelica. The marriage became a means of saving the family, and love was nothing but "a year of enthusiasm, followed by thirty Years of dullness". The love of the nobles is concession in the face of real interests, and of course it may also contribute to the good couple, but in any case, all this seems a bit indifferent, and they do not have much more options than ordinary people. The sad thing is not that the prince sacrificed his daughter's love, but that Consetta, his child, really has the ability to love? A "shy, quiet and submissive" like her will not be chosen because she cannot help an ambitious husband, but she may also choose to enter a loveless marriage because of other interests in the future.
In the film, the communication between the prince (noble) and the two middle class (priests, church organists) impressed me deeply. He was very frank and did not deceive the slightest cunning. He was also very contradictory, and survived the irreversible change of classes; He showed his pain and confusion. No one person is qualified to represent the entire class, but their voice will be regarded as the voice of their own class. Faced with critical suspicion and accusing eyes, the prince said, "Our hearts are not blind, we are just mortals in troubled times, what can we do... Religion gives people implicit comfort, if religion can rely on sacrifice We are saved by ourselves, do you think it will not do this?" As for the priest who is almost on the opposite side, although he lives with the nobles every day, he still can't understand the nobles, and his attitude towards his own situation is even more vague. He said, "Nobles are elusive. The world they live in is created by the trouble and joy that they have experienced for centuries. Those things that you and I think are trivial are important to them. I am not saying They are bad guys, not at all. They are different. They don’t care about things that we think are important, but they worry about things that we think are not important. For example, in the eyes of Prince Salina, if you don’t rush to Duna Fucat for a holiday, It is simply a tragedy, but if you ask him how he views revolution, he will say that there is no revolution and everything is still the same." The priest speaks from the standpoint of his own class, and he does not have a solution to the current life. His only solution is to tell everyone, "Let's read the prayer book."
In fact, in modern society, in a society that has nothing to do with the word "noble", class differences still exist, and countless people live by pretending that it does not exist. I thought of a story I read on the Internet. Two girls are good friends and travel together. One always saves money, and the other has a "luxury" lifestyle that he is accustomed to: people have arrived at the airport, but the suitcases have to be delivered by express. Sending it home in the same way, her good friend naturally couldn't understand this behavior, so she felt separated, and the two eventually drifted away. Our bodies are mixed in the same environment to receive education, but our spiritual discord will eventually show up in subtle friction. Is the class difference only the money difference? I'm afraid not, and the mode of thinking is completely different. But if there is no economic foundation to support, how can you develop the "noble" thinking, "nobles" are raised with money after all, but money alone is not enough. The prince and nephew Takrodi did not laugh at the evil capitalists together at first. Is Carlo Giro's crude taste? However, under the impetus of the situation, the two begin to combine, and the various dividing lines will become more and more blurred, and eventually they will no longer exist. People like Carlo Giro who were once despised by the "nobles" will become the "masters of the new world", and Carlo Giro's next generation, his daughter Angelica, "inherited the beauty of his mother and abandoned She is a true lady because of his grandfather's vices." Takrodi, a descendant of the nobleman, is more foresighted, more passionate for change, and more realistic.
This sense of reality is quite indifferent and cruel, and it is a complete profit-seeking. When the noble identity and the capitalist mentality are combined, the next generation of the nobles are nothing but careerists in good-looking clothes, breaking through the bottom line, and they are also hypocritical. . They easily separated from one team and then entered another. They ridiculed their past experiences and were complacent about keeping up with the times. After joining the Italian Royal Army, he would say that he "is now a real officer, and the people don't have to worry about us stealing chickens", and the former red shirts are just "mob army". Taclodi said proudly: "When we came here from Palermo, we just have to say'the king's order' and someone will give us horses." He also agreed with the man who is not a genius but speaks quite reasonable. Colonel Ballvicino, "The new government needs laws and rules. Any anarchic attempt must be suppressed. Risks and turmoil must not be allowed to recur, even if it is cruel and harsh... such as shooting and Garibaldi's escape. Fanatics." If each class has its own limitations to excuse him, then the nobles are magnifying the effects of limitations because of their special rights and status, making their image more cruel. People who stand on a high place enjoy more social resources than ordinary people. Shouldn’t they assume greater social responsibilities? If this is demanding, they should at least maintain their own “balance” — but “balance” has never It does not exist, the rest of my life is worthy of rejoicing, singing and feasting, and drunk now.
How can a person with a foresight mentality enjoy themselves in such a banquet? Prince Salina was very tired. The development of the real situation seemed to exceed his tolerance. He did everything he could to meet his identity and married the cunning Carlo Giro, but the individual refused to be an accomplice of the government to rule the world, and he was extremely tired of the hypocritical faces of the capitalists. He can only allow his soul to return to religion and seek comfort, only wishing his body to be liberated as soon as possible. At the noisy ball, he became out of place, standing in front of a painting thinking about his own death, an interesting aristocratic imagination, "Linen The cloth is a little worse; some of the bed sheets at the end of the day are always dirty; I hope my daughter will dress more elegantly; we have to repair the ancestral tomb." He enjoys his class status and will always be trapped here. .
He claimed that he was not afraid of death, he had seen all the falsehoods of life but could not find a way out. "The desire of the Sicilians is to sleep in their dreams. They hate those who wake them up, even if they bring rich gifts. To be honest, I don't know what gifts the New Kingdom will bring to me, all the shouts are even At the most violent times, they all yearn for forgetting. Pleasure is for oblivion, bullets are for death, and lazy and sweet drinks are for luxury and tranquility...that is, death."
"They have never longed for improvement, they feel like they are. The most perfect, vanity is worse than poverty."
"We are leopards and lions, and we are replaced by jackals and coyotes. All of us, leopards, lions, jackals, and coyotes, we all feel that we are noble."
"This shouldn't be the case. Lasting but it will continue. "Always" means one or two hundred years. After one or two hundred years, it may change... but it will become worse." After
a revolution, the upper class continued to sink in the exquisite dance party, young A generation was willing to drown in the dazzling halo, Prince Salina turned to death, perhaps because of death to live to give him more comfort. And I'm thinking, what kind of life are they living now, the civilians who fled to Pisacchino with the nobles but were blocked in the middle of the war?
I have no idea. Everyone gives priority to themselves. "Mortals in troubled times" are just struggling in the whirlpool of their lives. The clock will not stop, and time may not give us the answer. The desperate silent prayer of Prince Salina kneeling under the stars will be the last voice of the elegant Italian nobleman.
There are endless details in the movie, and a large number of group plays are full of three-dimensional characters on the corners and corners. They are indeed top-notch masterpieces and are worth seeing.
