I still remember what our very artistic teacher said before watching the film: "This film tells the story between a woman and three men, I hope you don't get too entangled in watching it." I personally think that I am still a girl with the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, and I am basically not interested in this kind of relationship. I think the male and female protagonists in the film should still believe that each other is the only one after going through the storm, and this film is obviously not to my taste. However, when I watched this film, I found that it is actually a story between a woman and three men, rather than a love triangle, and the plot of this love triangle actually made me feel a little bit. move. "Budapest Love" is a story that took place during World War II, mainly about women, music, and human morality. Budapest in the film is as beautiful as we imagined. This small Hungarian town surrounded by damp green has a kind of quietness and simplicity that can only be found in the Bible. It is a typical paradise, a place where dreams set sail. La Siro runs a restaurant in a place full of happiness, and he falls in love with a woman named Elena. Elena is such a lovely girl: beautiful, mysterious, dazzling, just staring at you, the wildness and enthusiasm of the strong gypsy girl will envelope you like a flame. The beginning of the story always starts from infatuation, and once infatuation is forced to wake up, life will become pale in an instant, and everything will no longer have meaning, but who can stop their infatuation, it is not from the original intention, but the will of fate. , all the characters in the film. The figure of Elena has firmly occupied the heart of the restaurant owner Lasiro, and also shocked the soul of the pianist Andra, who plays the piano for a living in the restaurant, and then Elena conquered the young German man who came to the restaurant to dine. will. Three men and one woman develop a passionate love affair that night in Budapest. On that encounter that changed the fate of four people, that night in Budapest that changed the trajectory of their lives, three men expressed their burning love to their beloved women. Lacillo pinned a sapphire hairpin as a token of love to Irina's temples; Andra played a piano piece "Melancholy Sunday" for Irina on the spot; Hans put Irina on the spot. Nana's beauty as a fairy is frozen on the camera negative. In fact, Elena's heart had already responded. After the restaurant closed, the silent night in Budapest left four silent figures. Irina rejected Hans' proposal. She looked at the two roads ahead, the left and the right. Andra and Lasiro were gradually moving. Disappeared in the night in different directions. Elena secretly Make up your mind and run away in one direction. Lasiro was walking on the road on the right. The more he walked, the more desolate his heart became. The more he walked, the heavier he walked. In the end, his heart fell to the lowest point, and he could no longer confirm whether his heart was still beating. Elena did not go with him. La Siro stood for a long time in the night, sadness swept in wave after wave like a tide. More desperate than Lacylo was Hans, who was disheartened by Irina's refusal. He couldn't find a reason to live, so he jumped from the bridge into the river. Who can treat their rivals like brothers and sisters? That's Lassiro. It was he who rescued Hans, pacified him with red wine and a stove, and returned his life, dignity and future. Is there a more generous and massive man in the world than La Siro? After sending Hans away, Lasiro decided to continue to open his arms to Irina, and also accepted Andra. At this point in the film, it has been relaxing our nerves with a seemingly pleasant atmosphere, and the happy and harmonious trio is staged. Melancholy Sunday was released, and Hungary and the whole of Europe paid tribute to the pianist, which brought Andra a lot of money, and there was an endless stream of customers coming to the restaurant to listen to Andra playing. Joy and happiness filled all their cells. Under the moonlight of Budapest, the three walked hand in hand and were intimate. The tragedy of life is to destroy good things for you to see. Beauty is not destroyed, but shattered, and there is not even a trace of it left, as if it never came. In the second half of the film, the plot took a sharp turn, and the little character Hans re-entered, ruthlessly tearing apart the quiet years with the black hands of history and fate. The high-ranking Hans is no longer as young as he used to seek death. He infiltrated the lives of the three and the beauty step by step with decent friendship and repayment of gratitude, and let the nightmares come one by one: First, to maintain dignity and principles, he refused to be a Nazi officer. Andra, who plays, shoots himself at the end of the song; Lasiro is then put on a train to Auschwitz; and finally Irina is forced to suffer humiliation by Hans in order to rescue Lassiro. . Hans, the man who was once refused marriage finally got all the compensation he thought he deserved at the last minute - a wash of shame. No more life, no more holiness. Andra's tombstone was overgrown with grass, and Elena stroked the grass, weeping in tears: Andra, do you know how much I miss you. You still have a tombstone here, but Larry Lou doesn't even know where he was buried. This is Elena's last line of dialogue in this film, and then the facts prove that she doesn't need to say anything, and her actions are the most straightforward. The back of Elena's departure confirmed this signal to us, Because the back revealed enormous strength and forbearance of murderous aura. More than 50 years later, former Nazi officer Hans visited the restaurant in Budapest to relive his old dreams on his 80th birthday. The restaurant that changed the fate of four people created a perfect trap on this late night: a sealed photo of the soul, a potion that has been preserved for more than 50 years?? The old Hans, who was tasting the beef roll, sighed: "Nothing has changed, it is exactly the same as in memory." But he must not have realized it: when he looked at the photo he took of Elena when he was young, the beef roll in his mouth was mixed with potion and was about to stop the beating of his sinful heart?? Although the three in the film Two men fall in love with Elena, the waitress at the restaurant at the same time, but everyone's understanding of love is completely different. First of all, the customer of the restaurant, German Hans, sees love as conquest or possession. He will use all means to get what he wants. When he fails to woo Elena, he jumps on the Danube on a whim and is rescued by the hotel owner Larousse. From then on, he was no longer the fanatical fascist, he became a quite successful speculator, he obtained Elena's body by deception, grabbed the wealth of the Jews frantically through La Siro, and finally sent him The savior and rival Lasiro entered the gas chamber, but after the war he was regarded as the hero who saved the Jews in Schindler's list. The pianist in the restaurant showed a warm and sincere love for Irina. Like no one else, he never cared about whether Elena had a lover or not. He felt that as long as the two loved each other, love would not be late. Indeed, the song "Melancholy Sunday" she wrote for Elena took the world by storm and conquered Elena's love. fragrant. But fanatical love, like a flaming splendor, cannot last long. In the end, the pianist ended love and life in the music he composed Si is the same utilitarian. He is Elena's first lover. Although he sees his love for Elena in the eyes of the musician, he is willing to keep the pianist for the sake of the shop's business, and even lose it in the end. When Elena will tell Elena it is better to share her love than to lose her love, But unlike Hans's hypocrisy and selfishness, his love is sincere and realistic. He has never given her any promises or forced her, but hopes to have only two worlds with Elena, so he can create a lot of The romantic atmosphere moved Elena. People say that this is a four-cornered love story, but it is clearly a love triangle. German officers have always stood outside love. It is said that this woman has the love of two people at the same time. The Jews in the film also said: "We each have half a woman." But it is clear that the three people depend on each other. In my opinion, if you abandon the historical background of the story, Hans may be the most successful, the pianist is the most exciting, but we can only be a Lasiro once, we can be weak or persistent, we can Courage can also be gentle. Hans's love is so selfish, and the only people who really fall in love are Irina, Lasiro, and Andra. Their love transcends the world and transcends national boundaries. Their love is real love. It was not until I watched this film that I realized how narrow my previous concept was. There is no right or wrong in love. Even a love triangle can be very beautiful, and it can also bring us different emotions. Ilona's lovers did not grow old with her, but they were forever remembered by her. And the wife of the Nazi officer who accompanied him to the age of 80 was actually busy picking up her scattered pearl necklace when her husband fell. Maybe the loyalty of love does not depend on whether this person only stares at you and accompanies you to grow old, but on whether you are irreplaceable in her/his heart.
