The film is three hours long, all about a declining nobleman. The whole story is quiet in a declining tone, and a lot of space is described that has nothing to do with the central theme. For example, the space for describing the love of young people is too large. long.

    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.

    Rewatching it on the big screen even felt that the film should be included in the cultural heritage of mankind. "Sicily's wish is to sleep in its own dream." This is that eternal dream - the world changes but the way of heaven remains the same. The former aristocratic Visconti director, the first male lead of Lancaster in the United States, and the second male lead of the French Alain Delon, was the pinnacle of the influence of the prosperous Italian film industry in the world.

  • Princess Maria Stella Salina: I never could endure that fop! You lost your head over him! And he has the impertinence to ask you, his uncle, father of the girl he has deceived, to carry his proposal to that rascal, the father of that slut! You mustn't do it!

    Prince Don Fabrizio Salina: Enough! You don't know what you're saying. Angelica is not a slut. She may become one, but for now she's a girl like any other, prettier than others, who wants to make a good marriage.
