The German film "Melancholy Sunday" is a very deep film. Using a song called "Melancholy Sunday" and a Hungarian restaurant called Zabu as the clues of the film, it tells the emotional entanglement between a woman and three men. The film shows the beauty and ugliness of human nature. People think deeply.
The pianist Andrews, the Jewish restaurant owner Zab, and the German Hans all fell in love with the beautiful girl Elounda. Elounda's birthday coincides with Hans's birthday, pianist Andrews played his own song "Gloomy Sunday" for her, Zabu gave her a beautiful headgear (which she always wears), Hans I took a beautiful photo of her with my Leica camera... Because Elounda chose Andrews, Hans was rescued by Zabu in his desperate throw into the river. Zabu helped Hans regain his courage, and Hans was going to go back to Germany to open the world's largest import and export trading company... Elounda loves Andrews and Zabu, and the three of them get along happily. Andrews became famous for "Gloomy Sunday", and the shrewd Zab acted as a manager for Andrews to get the most out of the record business. And this song is famous for another very important reason. Many people who listened to it committed suicide... Andrews blamed himself for this pain, Elounda and Zabu comforted him: this song made them The death of the more beautiful...
WWII began, the German Hans did not do a company, but became an SS colonel, Hans came to Zab's restaurant, forced Andrews to play "gloomy sunday" Andrews refused, and He confronted. In order to save Andrews, Elounda sang the lyrics of "gloomy sunday", and Andrews finally finished playing the song, but ended himself with Hans' gun. When the German army "cleansed" the Jews in Hungary, Hans sheltered Zabu, and at the same time did business with the Jews through Zabu, and bought a life for $1,000. He wanted the saved Jews to remember his kindness. When the Germans failed to evacuate Hungary, they took Zabu with him. Elounda begged Hans to save Zabu, even at the expense of his own body. After Hans agreed to Elounda, he watched Zabu, who had saved his life, be caught on the train of the concentration camp... Elounda saw Zabu's letter and poison left in the piano, and said in the letter: I finally understand Andrews' mood for creating gloomy sunday...we live for dignity...Elounda gave birth to her son with Andrews or Zab.
Hans revisited the Zabu restaurant on his 80th birthday, when he had become the owner of the world's largest import-export company - starting with the money that the Jews killed in his hands during World War II... He ate Delicious Hungarian Meatloaf, listening to the famous song "gloomy sunday" and seeing Elounda's photo, suddenly fell to the ground and died as if struck by lightning.
The white-haired Elounda finally used the poison left by Zabu to kill Hans. In the evening, the son and Elounda clink glasses to celebrate: Mom, happy birthday!
