IMMORTAL BELOVED
This film tells us of the life of Beethoven with a little fictional twist to it. We are compelled to believe that Beethoven's dying wish is that all he owns is to be giving to he's immortal beloved, but no name is given so a dear old friend of Beethoven's is to make it he's mission to find her. As this man acts as the audience as he meets with several narrators who take us back in time to tell the tales of Beethoven's life. The irony of the movie is that they use the music of Beethoven himself to retell his life. Although, there is no doubt that it suits the story as we all no Beethoven wrote his emotions is all his works. The film opens with an over view of a dying Beethoven and the sounds of his fifth symphony playing in the background. It continues to play as the funeral ceremony carries on. The symphony creates a feeling as if all that is good as just been lost. Then a man speaks a few words aloud of the composer and
The music then gives a grand finally as she approaches the door to were she believes he is playing, but in reality he is not the one who play at all. In the end I must admit the story takes you away and you want to believe that all of it is true. She tells of how the woman came and waited for Beethoven but when he never showed and merely sent a letter she left and shortly after he arrived but she was gone and he was in raged. Another scene in which the music touches you is that of Julia's anxiety to meet the great composer. The next scene in which the music takes you away is that of when the women at the hotel, in which Beethoven allegedly met he's beloved, tells the story of the first and last time anyone ever met her. During the entire story a song filled with longing and disappears fills your ears and takes you in to the story. Yet this sorrow would be felt worst still when Beethoven's neigh would soon want nothing to do with him and attempt suicide. You see Countess Julia looses a son and almost a daughter. The music steadily rises as she baths, dresses, and rushes over to the performance house. Schinler begins to weep and know from what you know of the story so do you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------**Bibliography**. There is a war scene also influenced by Beethoven's music seems to at first give a sense of doom almost, then slight hope, and ultimately intensity grows and along with it your horror and your eyes follow. It's interesting how they told his life in somewhat of a harsher and more devastating manner than Mozart's. Here Beethoven takes the music and tells the story of man trying very hard to push a carriage out of the mud in order to meet with the love of his life.
