I heard that Beethoven is a person about 1.5 in height. In the movie, he always appeared in the image of a similar angry man, and I didn't remember to complain until I watched it. I can only say that his appearance is shocking. , roaring b flat bflat, moron and hitting the keys, I think everyone will feel "Eh is really that grumpy moody person", not only that, the sentence "see, here, see, this is where god lives, not in the head, not even in the soul, but in the guts" is it the director's personal understanding imposed by the director in order to interpret the weirdness and greatness of Beethoven's final music, or is it just to show the real time when Beethoven surpassed others? For a person who studies architecture, I can only say that this kind of beauty in ugly resonates with the blue sky group that "want to explore the beauty and order in the state between destruction and creation", but I can't say that this is Beethoven's true state.
But beyond that, the real attraction of the film is Beethoven's almost frenetic and maddening enthusiasm for music, the cluttered props, the cluttered rooms, the horrific noise and the disregard for the complaints of the upstairs and downstairs tenants. The image of the symphony was completely echoed in that symphony, because there is a pursuit, so you can be desperate, because you want to pursue, so even if you are deaf, you have to work with a device, he is like a runaway car, desperate for the end. Even if there is little left in the end, I will move forward, even if my enthusiasm burns all the people and things around me, it is not a pity, and as for the part where I disdain the heroine's boyfriend's work, it is really It reflects the artist's pursuit of truth and lofty aspirations, "It lacks life grace, passion, it is a dead worthless thing"
And in the whole movie, for 104 minutes, this kind of enthusiasm and almost crazy persistence runs through. You can say that he is dirty and messy. I have also seen some people say that the characterization is insufficient and the plot is flawed. , but if you are really attracted by this frenzy you will feel that all this is insignificant, just like the beginning of the film, "he is utterly losing his mind" but when the symphony is over in the plot, everyone will get up and cheer and feel the music The joy in the film, the fiery life, and to be honest, if it weren't for this frenzy, even the heroine's clapping gestures look ugly and ridiculous, and everything seems empty and meaningless.
It's like the unacceptable song at the end, I don't know what it is, but I can feel this desperate pursuit in it, the music sounds messy but there is always a melody revolving, like a tower , a tower that is constantly rising, surrounded by appendages that are constantly rising around and changing together, tangled and intertwined, but the main body climbs up desperately, reaching the sky "and then god answers, the clouds open" This is different from the structure that emphasized logic and rationality in the past. It is similar to the beauty in ugly mentioned above. It gets rid of the false beauty and restraint caused by turning to rational dogma because of lack of self-confidence and passion. It is a kind of individual in the true sense. The liberation of the man is in stark and direct contrast to the rational fart, and the judgment is made. Since then the spirit has really been sublimated, "mode them to the face of god and you are the one". And it is this kind of enthusiasm, yes, although the people around him are dissatisfied and complained, they have been reluctant to leave.
I have always believed that in order for a work to impress people, the viewer must be brought into the environment of the studio to experience the creator's state of mind. Otherwise, all performances, roars, and frenzy are boring performances, even sympathy. Can't earn.
Fortunately, the director in the movie is also very good, taking the audience to experience the magnificence of the music and the enthusiasm of Beethoven himself. Although there may be some deficiencies in the structure and characters, this kind of immersive enthusiasm that can ignite the audience makes the film. The film is satisfying and unforgettable.

Copying Beethoven quotes

  • Ludwig van Beethoven: I'm a very difficult person, Anna Holtz, but I take comfort in the fact that God made me that way.

  • 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.
