Leopard

Italy in the background of the film era was a world divided by several dynasties from the north and the south together with the Catholic Pope. After the three wars of independence, it finally became a republic. He is the incarnation of aristocracy, and it is even more hopeless and painful to see himself and everything that belongs to him about to die. Until now, the gap between the north and the south of Italy is still very large. If you put aside ancient Rome, this country really does not have a broad sense of identity. As FABRIZIO said in the movie, they just want to sleep in their dreams, they are leopards and lions themselves, they don't need alien jackals and coyotes to replace or change them.

In the face of the world, we always lose courage. Because we know that time always takes away everything we have, youth, love, greatness. Nothing can withstand the tide of time. We are changed and abandoned, and there will be struggles in the middle. However, we cannot resist for too long, and the new person will eventually replace the old person. Yes, that's the real beauty of time, let's just rest assured and leave everything else to time. Even if the dance never ends, it will not leave too much time, and it cannot be avoided until the wind rolls the curtains and when the night is approaching.

    Visconti's style is so boring and not showy, but it can deceive so much investment, which is really admirable. . . .

    Looking at the first third, I didn't realize what I was going to say at all. They were extremely patient foreshadowing, and only broke out at the last dance. The surface was grand and full of vitality, but the reflected anxiety, loneliness and sadness were overwhelming... The last one Garibaldi's story is actually another version of the whole story, right? In the age of wolves and dogs, leopards and lions have been driven to the end.

The Leopard quotes

  • Princess Maria Stella Salina: It's outrageous! And I'd so hoped he would marry Concetta! He's a traitor, like all liberals of his kind! First he betrays his king, and now us. He, with that lying face of his, those honeyed words and poisoned actions! That's what happens when one lets people into one's home who aren't of our own blood.

  • Prince Don Fabrizio Salina: You've mentioned everything - savage mothers, filthy grandfathers - but not what interests me: Miss Angelica.

    Don Francisco Ciccio Tumeo: There's nothing to say. She speaks for herself. She has her mother's beauty without her grandfather's stink.
