      Copying Beethoven: Ups and Downs in the Whirlpool of Fate

      "Recreating Beethoven" was accidentally found on the Internet. The film was completed in 2006 and is a biographical film. Out of my adoration for Lesheng, I have some feelings after watching it on my computer.

      I am purely a layman when it comes to music, but this does not affect my natural affinity and love for music. "The Book of Songs," says, "Emotions are moved in the middle and actions are in words." If words are not enough, so sigh; sighs are not...

      Love Beethoven

      good movie! ~ I's shocked deeply!

      I have to admit, I'm a music blind, I don't know staves, let alone elegant symphonies, but I'm immersed in Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, and of course it's not in a concert hall But when I was watching the movie "Copy Beethoven", the literal translation of the Chinese title is "Copy Beethoven", and the "Ninth Symphony", which lasted for more than ten minutes, was amazing and wonderful! ~

      The film is based on the last three years of Beethoven's...

      Concise, mediocre - Copying Beethoven

      Actually, what I really want to see is the old beet made by the Germans, but in this "Copying Beethoven" full of terrible American language, only Ana is played by the German actor Diane Kruger. The introduction said that the Golden Man respects musicians, as evidenced by "Amadeus" and "The Pianist". But after watching "Amadeus", it is understandable why this "Copying Beethoven" is not so popular. Say it first. This film is very concise. It captures the loneliest time of Lao Bei's deafness in...

      <<Copy Beethoven>> sense

      For a long time, many articles describe some great classical musicians, such as Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig Van Beethoven, Franz Seraph Peter Schubert, will use the words "voice of God", "servant of God". This is more of a commemoration and admiration than a description of the musician's thoughts and feelings.

         It is a pity that in the film "Copying Beethoven", the description of Beethoven is more on the surface and form, rather than his thought and soul. Perhaps, in less than 2...

      Genius is mostly an urchin, but also innocent and cute

      At the beginning of the movie, in the early morning, people in the wild with all kinds of things on their minds started another day's work with different attitudes. A rush of hooves brought a fascinating piece of music (Beethoven's Fugue in B flat major), and the gestures of these people and things were so appropriate and arranged to match the performance of the piece. At this moment, music has become something that everyone can see and touch. It behaves as if to make people obsessed with the...

    Evaluation action

    The plot of "Copying Beethoven" is mostly fictional, but under the background of Beethoven's music, it shows the neuroticism and loneliness of a musical genius (Sina Entertainment Review)  .
    After the release of "Copying Beethoven", it has received low media reviews. It has cloned many familiar plots that are difficult to resonate. This has made this highly anticipated joke film a redundant comic that is out of touch with the rhythm of...

    Movie quotes

    • Ludwig van Beethoven: [conclusion--Beethoven is describing his "Song of Thanks to the Deity"] No key. It's common time, molto adagio, sotto voce. First violin, quarter notes. Middle C up to A. Measure. G up to C, tied, F. Second violin, bar two. Middle C up to A. Double note E, G, C. Viola clef, 2B pressed. It's a hymn of thanksgiving to God, for sparing me to finish my work. After the pianissimo, the canon resumes. First violin takes the theme. Viola, C to A. It's growing, gaining strength. Second violin, C to A, an octave higher. Then the struggle. First violin, C, up an octave, and then up to G. And the cello, down. Pulled down. Half notes, F, E, D. Pulled constantly down. And then, a voice, a single frail voice emerges, soaring above the sound. The striving continues, moving below the surface. Crescendo. First violin longing, pleading to God. And then, God answers. The clouds open. Loving hands reach down. We're raised up into heaven. Cello remains earthbound, but the other voices soar suspended, for an instant in which you can live forever. Earth does not exist. Time is timeless. And the hands that lifted you caress your face, mold them to the face of God. And you are at one. You are at peace. You're finally free.

      Anna Holtz: Yes?

      Ludwig van Beethoven: You look like a woman.

      Anna Holtz: Thank you.

      Ludwig van Beethoven: [after a brief pause] But can you conduct?
