There are three protagonists in the film:
1. A restaurant owner Szabo, a Jew, under Hitler's rule, a kind of person who was extremely hated by Hitler, however, they know how to manage money and do business, and the world is recognized as the best . Falling in love with a woman, a beautiful woman, fascinated by her.
2. A beautiful woman, Ilona, fell in love with her boss, but she became popular among thousands of men. Is she a geisha in Japan? But she only loves the boss and doesn't make excuses for others. Only she met a very talented pianist...
3. A very talented pianist Andras. He appeared in the dining room, faced the beautiful woman, and fell in love with her. He worked silently until the woman's birthday and wrote a song for her. This...is the famous Gloomy Sunday. The woman was moved and fell in love with her.
The boss Szabo found out, not only did he not complain and blame, but he was very happy and shared a woman with the pianist. Hmm... Some people say it's out of love, but I think, in addition to loving women, it's also out of his personality: generosity, friendliness, optimism... Finally, he became a good friend and a pair of good brothers with the pianist.
Two men, and one woman, this... not surprisingly reminds me of Zu and Jim (Jules and Jim, 1962). Two brothers fell in love with a beautiful woman at the same time, and at the same time, lived happily.
But... the story presents an unusual character: the German man Hans, an officer who ended up in Germany, fell deeply in love with this woman, not so much in love with her as in her body. It is repeatedly stated in the film that the Germans under Nazism were not. But... good bosses always believe that Germans are not "all bad guys".
Later, when World War II broke out, the boss was a Jew, a Jew who was going to be exterminated under Nazism. The German officers worked hard to get to the top, just to govern Budapest and fight for the opportunity to contact women.
Later, Andras suspected that Ilona was having an affair with Hans. Hans asked him to play the Gloomy Sunday. Andras refused. Seeing Ilona, who was in danger of being killed at any time, Hans dropped his dignity and sang the song. , a song no one has ever sung. Andras began to accompany her for her. When the accompaniment is over, Andras ends with suicide.
The word dignity, one dies and the other lives.
Later, the boss Szabo was arrested by the Nazis. Jews and Nazis were at odds with each other. As a Jew, he refused to submit to the Nazis and wanted to end his life with suicide. However, it was held by the Nazis first and could not commit suicide successfully.
Knowing that only an officer can have the only love in the world, Ilona is willing to sell herself to him. But the tricky German officer finally regretted and did not save the kind boss who had saved his life.
At the beginning of the film, a person, looking at an old photo, dies mysteriously. The reason, someone who likes here a little bit said: being poisoned to death, this is the only way to say it is smooth.
Death always has a reason. Especially people who die by suicide will always commit suicide because of something or something.
In this film, Szabo said: Gloomy Sunday, because it can remind people who hear this song of being wronged, unwilling to be humiliated, but unable to resist, only to die for liberation and release. A story comes to mind: a baby saw a toy and wanted to climb up to get it. When he got close to it, the adult took it away. The adult threw the toy away, and the baby crawled again. Take it away, the adult throws the toy far away again, the baby crawls again, and repeats the cycle again and again, the baby is unwilling to be humiliated, but unable to resist, can only cry.
I have read the complete death manual, but...haven't read the method of suicide after listening to music, should I add it?
Everyone will be wronged, but... is death the only way?
