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.

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.
