Beautiful and Emotional on many levels
Beautiful and emotional on many levels, this film takes you to a place few would be able to otherwise understand.
As a musician who is also losing his hearing, this story touches many a raw nerve for me. The isolation, the outbursts, embarrassments, the inability of others (even family) to understand your condition, and what you are going through. Yet the triumph of Beethoven's genius shines through.
There is a lot of truth to the story line in this movie. It is NOT all a fabrication. Beethoven did pen many letters to his "Immortal Beloved", including one found in his belongings after his death. Exactly who that woman was, we will never know for sure, but this film explores the possibilities.
Gary Oldman (as usual) becomes the character he is portraying. Totally believable. The music is of course fantastic as well, and woven into the storyline very skillfully.
Especially if you are a lover of his music, or just a lover of a great story, don't miss this one!
