In my opinion, the main task of this film is naturally to connect Beethoven's music. Using Beethoven's music to make a film soundtrack is easier to arrange than Mozart, because Beethoven's music and himself are more emotional and dramatic. If the genius Mozart was possessed by God and played endless splendor and agility, then Beethoven was a passionate and fanatical poet whose music contained the strongest emotions in the world. I heard "destiny", "sorrow", "moonlight", "hero", etc. The piano was played by Murray Perahia, the most famous contemporary performer, and the orchestra was played by the London Symphony Orchestra. The emotions expressed by these music are so deep in the heart, as Beethoven said in the film: "The power of music is to guide people directly into the spiritual world of the composer. If the listener is hypnotized, he has no choice." I have to say The picture and plot are also quite appropriate. Especially the climax of Ode to Joy can be called a classic of expressing music with pictures.
Beethoven's actor is Gary Oldman. In 1994, in the same year, he just played a perverted Boss who loves Beethoven in "This Killer Is Not So Cold". I have to say that the reality is so dramatic. After all, the appearance is different. At the beginning of the movie, I don't think he is like Beethoven, but as the music and movies are getting better, I think it is right for him to play Beethoven. Beethoven was not a kind person in history, and he forced his nephew to commit suicide. Gary not only showed Beethoven's deaf mania and terrifying temper to the fullest, he also managed his neuroticism to the right degree. The most rare thing is that I felt Beethoven's supreme pride. That ear is against the "moonlight" of piano playing, the sitting posture, the angle at which the feet are separated, the strength of the playing, the air of listening closely, this is really Beethoven.
The plot of "The Biography of Mozart" always revolves around Mozart's peerless genius. This central idea is highly unified with the music, which has achieved very good results. Although "Immortal Beloved" undoubtedly accomplished the task of presenting Beethoven's music well, the focus of the plot is indeed love, and it is a very Hollywood love story. The key point of the story is still very bloody. But Beethoven's music expresses far more than love. Therefore, although the sound and picture coordination of the film is very exciting, but the main story can not afford such a brilliant soundtrack, it is the biggest regret. If we can see a more complete story of fighting against destiny, I believe the effect will be better.
Seeing people flocking to the theater to admire the latest works of great musicians personally directing in the film, I am deeply envious that it was a wonderful time. I could only visit the resting place of musicians when I visited Vienna three years ago. More than 200 years have passed, Beethoven has been directly opposite Mozart.
