Summary: Movie making at it's best.
Comment: If you have no appreciation for Beethoven or his music watching this film will undoubtedly change that. Directed with real verve and finely acted by the likes of Gary Oldman, I loved watching this film. I own this movie and drag it out every once in a while. Great recordings of his music by the current masters infuse some scenes with intense emotion: the emotions Beethoven himself must have felt. This is one of the finest period films I have seen, and can only recommend it highly.

Summary: Magnificent
Comment: This movie has achieved the daunting task of being good enough for its music. I don't collect many movies because, even if I enjoyed them, I don't want to sit through them again after I know the endings. This is an exception. The acting and filmography are so great (not to mention the music) that I enjoy watching it over and over, even though I know the surprise ending. So well done.

Summary: One of My Favorites
Comment: This movie is romantic, it's got more twists and turns than the airport in Florida, it's poetic, it's artistic and I love the music (listening to it, learning more about it and how it was written).
If you like to listen to more Beethoven, you may like to check out Keyboard Conversations®: The Power and Passion of Beethoven (Keyboard Conversations) (this comes as a cd)

Summary: Immortal Gary Oldman
Comment: It's been a while since I have seen this movie. But it still resonates within me. Gary Oldman is one of my absolute favorite actors, and this movie is a testament to his abilities. Powerful, beautiful, classical. I loved this movie!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Beautiful and tragic
Comment: Wonderful recounting of Beethoven's life, though not exactly true to history; but after doing some research, I could see that in order to not distract the viewer with a lot of details, it was necessary to combine truisms and take a few liberties in order to make a point. For instance, the fact that it was never discovered who his Immortal Beloved ever was in reality; that it could have been a number of women, and the "letter" was actually a series of three letters written over several days would have been confusing and taken away from the drama and intensity at hand. Obviously, someone had to be chosen as his Immortal Beloved and someone was. It is still worth seeing and will bring the most avid classical musical lover to tears. If you want a good cry, hear beautiful music, and watch great acting, you must see this movie.
