The director of this film is also a nobleman, a descendant of the ruling family of the Principality of Milan, so the film "Leopard" is actually his real experience, and it is precisely because these are what he has experienced, the whole film is from the quality of the picture. When it comes to clothes and props, they all have the texture of that era, and there is an immersive feeling.
This is a historical oil painting, which tells the impact of the rise of the emerging bourgeoisie on the nobility from the perspective of the nobility. A true aristocrat.
Prince Salina is noble. Because of the changing times, the nobles are declining little by little, but because of self-esteem, he refused the invitation of the new party's parliamentarians. The prince who was strong, noble and elegant suddenly turned into a lonely, aging man. The last scene of the film is extremely powerful, and the reminiscence of the floating life has become a dream, and there must be an end in the end. After the grand and luxurious ball of more than 50 minutes, Prince Salina only felt infinite desolation and loneliness. The contrast is so good.
If the prince is noble and has strong self-esteem, then Tangcredy is very smooth. He can be a Garibaldi soldier regardless of his life, or he can join a new party as soon as he turns his head. Compared with the prince, he is more like a wall. Grass, there is never any firm belief in the heart. Follow whoever is stronger.
"We are the lion and the leopard, and what will replace us are the jackal and the earth dog." This is the most famous sentence in the film. Tangcredy is like the earth dog. Compared with the nobleness of the leopard, the earth dog is more wretched. But in those days, only earth dogs could survive.
That ball should be called the biggest and most luxurious ball in the history of movies. It lasted for more than 50 minutes, but only the young people liked the ball. Anjelica said that she hoped that the ball would never end, but The prince only hoped that the dance would end soon, because the loneliness and loneliness of the dance would increase by a minute.
This is not just a movie, it is the decline of a family and an era, and a beautiful mural in the long history.
