    Lampedusa perfectly presents the history of the decline and fall of the Catholic aristocracy in a novel style, and Visconti endows it with a solemn image. This is not so much a movie as it is civilization...

    When the nobles photograph the royal family, they cherish each other in loneliness; the sense of flowing oil paintings is luxurious and generous; the tigers and leopards are replaced by wolves, and the classes must be replaced; Alain Delon is really a creampie (jealous and cute), Burt Lancaster has a rough and masculine line; the heroine Claudia only played in the opening hour, and the second half of the social dance was also filmed for an hour. Does the director dare to make it; he still loves...

    History always repeats itself in a loop, because human beings keep repeating the same mistakes. Human nature always sinks into the despicable, so people in their sleep are all confused ghosts who don't want to be awakened. Pride and extravagance are the life passions of the powerful, and sensuality is the life creed of those with vested interests. Sleeping in the glory of the past is very happy for the sleeper, but it is endless sadness in the eyes of the dreamer. Visconti is the recorder of...

    The Sicilian version of "Dream of Red Mansions", an elegy for the age of Jian Bao. It turned out that from feudalism to republic, only one waltz was needed. Visconti really burns...

    Visconti's style is so boring and not showy, but it can deceive so much investment, which is really admirable. . ....

    For viewers with no background in that history, the film is extremely boring. The director's thinking is too literary. Photography, acting, scenery, costumes, and the psychology of the characters can all show his high taste. If you like this tone and don't care about the drama, it's easy to indulge in this "last noble" atmosphere. For me, the scene in which Claudia laughs wildly can barely keep people from falling...

    Aesthetic... all talented classical artists have gone to make movies. The pictures are beautiful, but the protagonists and stories are often missing, which tests the viewing habits... At that time, many prospective directors who were young seemed to like this film? I heard that I can't make it back......

    "The Panther" Movie Notes

    "Standing outside of society and its interlocking relationships is the quintessential Visconti heroic impulse."

    Benjamin once coined the term "left-wing melancholy" to refer to those who are actively conformist. In Prince Sarina, there is a strong and critical emotion of a melancholic man, and the...

    Their spirit is very noble, and their name is Ah Q.

    It is very rare to portray the inner world of an aristocrat, and you can see what he is thinking from his eyes. An era is coming to an end, everyone is chasing money, and how boring that is. The elegant words and deeds are also about to disappear....

The Leopard quotes

  • Princess Maria Stella Salina: It's outrageous! And I'd so hoped he would marry Concetta! He's a traitor, like all liberals of his kind! First he betrays his king, and now us. He, with that lying face of his, those honeyed words and poisoned actions! That's what happens when one lets people into one's home who aren't of our own blood.

  • Prince Don Fabrizio Salina: You've mentioned everything - savage mothers, filthy grandfathers - but not what interests me: Miss Angelica.

    Don Francisco Ciccio Tumeo: There's nothing to say. She speaks for herself. She has her mother's beauty without her grandfather's stink.
