Leopard Review

This is a movie about the Italian nobility. The revolutionary changes in Sicily were integrated into the family of the Prince of Salina, and the last grandson was torn between patriotism and aristocratic traditions. There is an oil painting-like tone in the film, which truly reflects the life of the Italian nobility at that time. The last half-hour dance party is beautiful, and it also represents the disintegration of the powerful. The never-ending dance has an end.

To remain eternal, one must keep changing. We were lions and leopards, and we were replaced by jackals and dogs. This is an elegy for myself and my class.

    "We are the offspring of the lion and the leopard, but we have to be replaced by wolves and coyotes." No matter how magnificent the era is, it will finally come to an end.

    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 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.
