Visconti's masterpiece, also translated as "the innocent", was not released until after his death. The film is still his favorite theme of aristocratic decline, led by the famous Italian film star Giannini, who plays a lecherous duke who often attracts bees and butterflies; only to find out later that his wife was having an affair and gave birth to a son, he was so angry that he froze the child to death in the cold wind. The most ironic thing is that he is not angry with his wife for having an affair, but because her lover is not an aristocrat, but a poor writer! In the end, the Duke committed suicide because he could not lose face. The luxurious art design and the luxurious decoration of the aristocratic life are an indispensable part of Visconti's creation in his later years. He was born in an aristocratic family and spurned and criticized the aristocratic decadent and old way of life. Want to completely innovate but can not cut off the hereditary elegant cultural style, is Viscanti's life perplexed topic, but also the main direction of his film creation.
