The Eastern European Plain is a corridor. The people who come and go have left their imprints here, including Hungary. There is no barrier between mountains and mountains, and there is no way to guard against danger. If you add a strong historical background, the love and hate in the rolling red dust will be particularly exciting. From "Love in Prague" to "Love in Budapest", Eastern Europe has never lacked poignant and sad love. Laszlo's settings are rare. The fact that he is able to endure sharing her lover with others for the sake of her desires, either has something to hide, or has a unique hobby? This is the suspense that haunts my viewing experience. He is either a saint or a person with strong self-control. If the explanation is not good, the film will be reduced to the bottom of the stream. Fortunately, this film gives a convincing answer. In my opinion, Laszlo's heart is also divided into two halves, one half is for Ilona, ​​and the other half is for his restaurant. His desire is not only erotic, but also the pleasure brought by the ease of the real world. On the night of losing Ilona, ​​seeing Hans jumping into the river, although he was also sad, he still rescued him. This is his kindness and his consistent cultivation as a businessman. Laszlo's maturity and shrewdness make love not everything he has. He has the calculations of a businessman and his flexible way of life. He can always jump out of the shackles of narrow lust and see farther, which is the most charming part of him. When he saw Andras' talent, he wooed the record dealers in the diners to make records for him. During the negotiation, he highlighted his trading skills. Even if he was a rival in love, he could become a business partner. At that moment, Ilona voted for him. Eyes as if she had heard "Gloomy Sunday"—yes, Laszlo's talent was his shrewdness and sophistication, and that's what struck Ilona. For the hotel to survive, it is inseparable from Andras' talent and Ilona's charm. From Laszlo, we seem to see that the hotel is not only his livelihood, but also another "lover" of his. In the world, there is not only lust, but also a career to satisfy one's heart. As the movie says, "Everyone wants to kill two birds with one stone" , Laszlo and the hotel were originally a couple. But when he found that his Jewish identity would destroy the hotel, he resolutely handed the hotel to Ilona, ​​and his decision was the same as giving Ilona to Andras that night, which is the most exquisite arrangement in the film , which makes Laszlo's characters self-consistent. His identity as a Jew made him understand that life needs forbearance and curves, but it still didn't save him in the end, even though he saved Hans at first, and Hans, a devil in a Nazi coat, cannot use the human ethic of gratitude and repayment to speculate. . Talent is really the best aphrodisiac. What a woman wants is style, and style is inseparable from talent. No matter how nice Laszlo is to Ilona, ​​he can't hold back the soul-stirring music of "Gloomy Sunday". Everyone wants to kill two birds with one stone. Ilona's world needs Laszlo's prudence and shrewdness, but also needs Andras' talent and infatuation. But Ilona is not promiscuous, she rejected Hans several times, and finally had to devote herself to Hans in order to rescue Laszlo. She beat Andras for his misunderstanding of her, proving that she wasn't a slut. A plot in the film is worth noting, in the seven years of Ilona and Laszlo, and the three of them, she has not been pregnant, but at the end of the film she is pregnant when she goes to pay homage to Andras, who is this child? ? Probably Hans's. This may be a suspense of the film, and it is also a symbol worth pondering----Ilona, ​​Laszlo, Andras' love has no result, and the result of Hans is finally poisoned by Ilona Death seems to show the tangled fate of the Hungarian country itself - economic dependence on Germany does not shackle Hungary's courage to become an independent country, and Hungary's own Malza people and Austria's imprints put her in a dilemma. situation.
