Standing at the end of a once glorious and great era, from the absolute protagonist on the stage of history to the powerless bystander in the turbulent, Prince Salina may be one of the few sober people of his kind who face the reality. This sobriety makes him lonely. The great current of the new era is rolling in, and the powerlessness, helplessness and no understanding in the face of change make him depressed.
Seemingly calm and calm, he adheres to and is proud of the noble spirit. With the change of power and dynasties, there is a splendid name coveted by the jackals. However, his pride and self-respect does not allow the old leopard to give a group of jackals to a group of jackals. Lower your noble head.
Maybe Angelica reminded him of the old time when he danced with grace. Prince Salina, who looked calm and stubborn in front of the Turin messenger, ended the song, but secretly shed tears.
At the end, an elegant kneeling on one knee seemed to be a reluctant farewell to the old times, and the prince, who had always looked stern, showed endless frustration and nostalgia at this moment. He got up, leaned on a cane, and walked alone, his lonely back disappeared in the twilight of history.
The movie itself is too long, especially the first hour. The portrayal of other characters and the background of the times is also a little bleak, and does not have the kind of epic spirit, a touch of frustration and sentimentality... Samsung gave Prince Salina and his golden sentence.
ps: I don’t like actors who play Angelica very much. The appearance is amazing, especially the awkward look at the beginning. When he speaks, his eyes turn around, and his elegance is completely destroyed. Especially in the later performances, they were beautiful but too demonic, with seductive eyes. They didn't match the noble lady praised by the prince at all, which greatly reduced the last waltz... Alain Delon was a suave playboy, too shrewd and slick, without integrity. ...In short, I don't like this pair in the movie. I don't know if the characters are set like this, or they didn't act properly==
