The epic works of Lucino Visconti, the background is Sicily, Italy in 1860. As a prince, Sarina has witnessed the success and failure of the red shirts represented by Garibaldi. As a generation of nobles, he has independent I am conceited by the idea of ​​​​not following the rules, but at a loss in the face of change, admiring heroes and berating speculators but not willing to kneel to become a member of parliament, completely lost at the last ball, feeling that his time is no longer, the noble lion and leopard will eventually be competed Eliminated, and the only ones who survived were the opportunistic and humble jackals and earth dogs. Alain Delon plays the prince's nephew, a revolutionary speculator who first joined the Red Shirt Army and then joined the government army due to Garibaldi's loss, and merged with the daughter of a political upstart and became a member of parliament. He is a successful revolutionary who goes with the flow, and his stark contrast with the prince in all aspects highlights the destined decline of the aristocracy, but also retains a sense of helplessness and sadness. As a descendant of aristocrats, Lucino Visconti has unique characteristics in this film from the character's mentality to the costumes and scene design. He is full of atmosphere and momentum. The last ball can be described as a super-large final feast, gorgeous. The huge gap between the setting and the desolate mood of the characters has become the swan song of the nobles represented by Sarina.

    Prince Sarina is as alien to this so-called "new age" as his poor socially refusal daughter, but he can't bow his head even when he's crying, because the crown really does fall, which is the last dignity. True Sunset Palermo. I finally understood that it was not Keiko Ueda's fault that the revolutionary army slapped the face. This is the core of the original work. And the slap in the face of the revolutionary army is not exclusive to Italy. Haven't we seen enough yet?

    The sadness of the decline of the nobility and the passing of time are all in the self-talking leopard-wolf theory and the dance that no one applauds. "I am unfortunate. I cross two worlds, and I am uneasy in both worlds." The dance was almost perfect. The scheduling, mood, and gorgeousness were indescribable. Katina's prosperous face eclipsed the flowers in the same mirror.
