The description of the Prince of Salina is very profound and moving. From the perspective of an aristocratic prince who has disappeared, it outlines the decline of the two Sicilian kingdoms before and after the unification of Italy. Later, in the hour-long dance segment, the shooting technique of changing scenes is used. , Contrast the loss of the prince with the computers of the younger generation around him. In contrast, the prince seems to be placed in an irresistible ruin. He is lost in pursuit of the lost youth, like a cicada in the autumn, sending out the last trace of weakness The chirping; it is unbearable to hear the cuckoo's blood.
The camera is zoomed in, and it is a frontal depiction of the character. Helpless tears ooze from his bloodshot eyes. However, in the blink of an eye, his dignity and the innate pride of the aristocracy forced him to maintain his dignity in front of others.
In the last scene of the film, Prince Salina walks into the long alleys of the city. Unlike his well-dressed appearance, the place he is in is a ruined ruin, or a slum. His figure gradually merged with the night, which became a metaphor: we don't know where the Prince of Salina will go, who will experience what, just as we don't know the Sicily that disappeared with him and went nowhere future, Italy's tomorrow.
