Taking Beethoven’s famous love letters as clues, the road movie is used to connect Beethoven’s three famous relationships in his life. While tracing Beethoven’s emotional experience, he interspersed with works of various periods in a kind of reminiscence. The way, using several sections of Beethoven's life, to show the audience a more dramatic and character-strength Beethoven image that is far from the facts. The first two of the three relationships do exist. Of course, the process is more dramatic, and the ending is not Beethoven leaving them, but they leaving Beethoven. Because the two were both nobles, there was a boundary between Beethoven and Beethoven, and this boundary could not be crossed at that time, no matter how great the musical talent was. For example, the first countess was also the source of inspiration for the famous "Moonlight Sonata". The presentation in the movie is very good. The deaf Beethoven's face is pressed against the keyboard and the melody of "Moonlight" flows under his fingers, which is very beautiful in the picture. It also makes this song more legendary, carrying both love and the reason for separation. In fact, I would rather marry an influential noble musician than to Beethoven, and the relationship between the two was established and it took only one or two years to warm up to separation. The feelings of the second countess also exist, but in fact they are definitely not as deep as those in the movie. The main thing is to use this feeling to reflect the social environment at the time, perhaps by the way, to satirize France and Napoleon? (Deep resentment between Britain and France), and at the same time show the direction of Beethoven's creative state at that time. The third relationship is completely fabricated. Beethoven did have a very poor relationship with his sister-in-law, and indeed often claimed that she was a slutty. But it seems that her style is really not very good. The screenwriter's setting like this is a kind of deeper love and hate, which is indeed enough reverse and dramatic enough, but it always feels more bloody. After all, who is Beethoven's favorite, although there is no conclusion yet. But basically his brother-in-law can be ruled out. Personally, I always thought that Miss Alice will be the last one in the movie. This setting is also very good, student, and then gradually fell in love. Beethoven could not be with her due to various reasons, and wrote to Alice. It’s quite natural to express love, and the storytelling and familiarity of the works are better than the bloody love with this younger sister-in-law. From the storyline set in the movie, Beethoven was deaf by his father’s domestic violence when he was a child. The reason was that his father wanted to make him a child prodigy like Mozart to make money, but Beethoven did not perform well. Nephew, the strict discipline of Carl, who is actually an illegitimate child, may also be a continuation and reincarnation of this situation. In fact, Beethoven and his brother-in-law and nephew The thing is very similar to what is described in the movie. Beethoven really wants to raise his nephew. The only difference is that Beethoven and his brother-in-law have no love, and his nephew is not under pressure but his own ability and his own reasons failed to become music. Home, maybe I want to use this to show Beethoven's difficult life, and to pave the way for the big climax of the climax of the end of the film, to show Beethoven's outstanding creative talents. And the best thing about the film is that the end is accompanied by the exciting melody of Ode to Joy. The young Beethoven fled his home and escaped from his father. He lay in the water, looking at the stars in the sky, melting with the stars in the sky. As one, at this time, he is detached, free, without secular disturbances, without the boundaries of nobility, and he praises life and God wholeheartedly. At this moment, he and his music are eternal and immortal. He and his concert Immortal Beloved

Immortal Beloved quotes

  • Ludwig van Beethoven: [Miss Guicciardi's first piano lesson. She is playing, poorly, a little minuet. She errs, and begins pounding on the keyboard, perhaps to gets some kind of reaction from Beethoven. He says nothing until he realizes she has stopped. He gives his critique] You think that because I do not stop you, that I am not listening.

    [She sighs in agreeance]

    Ludwig van Beethoven: The manner in which you thump out the notes without the slightest thought as to their meaning is unforgivable. And your lack of passion is unforgivable. I shall have to beat you.

    [she offers her hand for punishment, rolling her eyes. He gives her a hard, painful slap]

  • Ludwig van Beethoven: Music is... a dreadful thing.
