      Song of the Suicide

      Although I had heard of the film Budapest Love, it was completely unconnected to the song Gloomy Sunday; the bizarre tale of the suicide song has always been fresh in my memory.

      This song does sound quite hopeless, but also very beautiful. poignant. For depressed and mucus people, this song may be the air of their lives, but for choleric and sanguine people, what does this song mean to them? Perhaps the unstable factors in their emotions will therefore be more frequently expressed....

      why cry

      "Melancholy Sunday" (also known as "Love in Budapest") is like a narrative poem, which perfectly integrates the three elements of war, triangular relationship and the legendary musical curse, and conveys the feelings of an art film to the audience by means of a drama film. In other words, this film uses three common motifs to create and tell a legendary, bleak and transcendent story. In the calm and plain narrative, the personal destiny and historical tragedy, the pure beauty of human nature...

      The story that happened here

      One of my favorite movies that I will never forget for a long time.
      Look, I fell in love with this woman, I am also a woman, but I am convinced.
      Fluttering skirt, flowing eyes, long curly hair, gentle fingers and plump body,
      a smile, impeccable. Picturesque and tender, it is no wonder that so many men are fighting for love and sharing
      love.
      One and a half her. Is it true that only the soul can be so magnanimous?
      When she blushes and sings, I am clearly willing...

      You, what did you hear?

      Melancholy Sunday, when its melody sounded, you, what did you hear?

      In the end, composers do not understand the meaning of their songs to express. What restaurateurs heard in those dark times was the loss of dignity, the loss of happiness. The giant's sister, what did she hear? Maybe desperate love?

      What I heard was a warm and repressed emotion of pain, joy, hope, waiting, happiness and sadness.

      I like restaurateurs with kind eyes. I believe that in 50 years the...

      orthography

      The German military was divided into two factions at that time, one was headed by Hitler and represented the lower classes in power through democratic elections, and the other was the traditional aristocracy. We know that before World War II in Europe, only the aristocrats could be officers. In 1941 Hitler abolished the German cursive script and adopted the Latin script. This is the orthography he wants to implement. Hans probably belonged to the aristocracy, as can be seen from his manners....

    The movie is densely intertwined with many romantic elements. The images are beautiful and nostalgic. The opening music is led by the piano and the orchestra brings out a wonderful theme melody. The ups and downs of people and love in the ruthless torrent of the great era give the listeners a strong and inexplicable moving and shocking heart. (NetEase Community)
