Beethoven actually died during a lightning storm. Now that's what I call a fitting end for a person like him!
His final words are said to have been "schade, schade, zu spät!" which translates to "pity, pity, too late!", as if he wanted to compose something while he died, but couldn't finish it.
The most moving words of the funeral speech were "There he stands now among the great of all time; untouchable forever!"
Let's face it, Beethoven was the greatest composer who ever walked the earth!
i love this movie and i think that ed harris did make a good beethoven. if it was some one else playing that roll it would be alot of negitive comments about the movie.
but anyway i ignore the unnecessary comments. i think this movie is really good.
I've seen quite a few negative comments to the previous parts. I think this film is OK. I thought Ed Harris made a good Beethoven, and in the screenplay - I mean, in the dialogue - there are some great, deep moments. The music was taken care of as well, Beethoven's last piano sonatas and especially the last string quartets are really something else, a long way from Fur Elise (!) and unlikely to be appreciated by most people. You've done a great job uploading this, thank you so much
I gather this was supposed to be like Amadeus when Mozart and Salieri work on Mozart’s Requiem together? Well this film does not even deserve to be mentioned in the same breath with Forman’s classic.
Quitemos la música de Beethoven. Pues bien, la película es malísima. La historia es inventada, está llena de falsedades, aburre, la interpretación de la chica es horrible y la conducta de Beethoven no pega en absoluto con lo que sabemos de su carácter. Un horror.
@sosamuera - es verdad, es una interpretacion yankee mas, no se asemeja a la historia real ni de cerca.. This is an american interpretation, not real or european one, as it really is! And Anna has a better place than Beethoven in this movie, when the one master was Beethoven. Here he is interpretated like a dumb and she like a beethoven, weird... we are europe not american.
@Gastonsweden Please do not insult my country! This piece of trash is not any more American than it is European. y no es verdad, esto no tiene nada de Americano
Yo no he insultado, y es tu pais?? Cuando lo has comprado? Yo defiendo a Europa, como a los yankees les gusta hacer su propia interpretacion de las cosas, es basura esa pelicula, yo conosco la cultura de aqui y no se asemeja en nada. Solo en que tenia caracter fuerte, pero toda la interpretacion es irreal, no la recomiendo y las personas que nos gusta Beethoven no la consideramos "interpretacion real" con respecto a la verdadera historia de Beethoven. abstengase usted de responder.
@Gastonsweden si es mi pais! Yo naci en Nueva York soy Americano de desendencia Italiano y hablo seis idiomas el castellano es uno de ellos y no tengo necesidad de comprar nada. Yo no defiendo a esta pelicula para nada considero que solo usa la musica de Beethoven para llamar la attencion a una historia y pelicula que no vale nada pero porque decir que es Americana?Yo como Americano le diria que esta pelicula no tiene nada de Americana incluso fue dirigida por una mujer Polaca.
@truvianni El pais al cual apoyas por mero patriotismo no te da nada,ni educacion ni salud ni empleo ultimamente con casi 20% de desocupados o sea unos casi 70 Millones de personas.En cambio,Suecia,no solo es un pais rico,sino que los salarios basico aca son 2.500 dollares(trabajando limpieza) cada hijo nace con una ayuda de 300 dollares mensuales hasta k cumple 18. hospitales y colegios son gratuitos y en la universidad te dan 1000 euros por mes, para estudiar.Y aki todos conocen el mapa.
@Gastonsweden yo no tengo sentimientos patrioticos incluso pienso que son tonteras que limitan a la gente.yo escribi un articulo sobre esto y se perfectamente bien lo que es el sistema social en tu pais que logicamente tiene sus beneficions pero tambien muchos estan encontra de los impuestos que crea. Algunos dicen que es un pais donde hasta cierto punto la gente es pagada para no trabajar y viven de los que trabajan. Tambien te digo que yo desde hace 16 anos vivo entre Italia i Polonia.
@truvianni Yo he visitado USA, Utah, CA y LA. Y cuando les decia de donde venia, la gente me decia, donde queda eso? =D parecen odiar Europa y el mundo y se creen k la historia del hombre comenzo hace 200 anos y en "America" ya k en los colegios alli, no estudian historia del mundo.
Ese es el unico problema k tengo, la soberbia e ignorancia de esa sociedad.Pero no tengo nada en contra. Y aca si estas desempleado,la seguridad social paga el salario total mensual aunk no trabajes, eso es verdad.
@Gastonsweden Yo he vistado tu pais tambien, estado en Estocolmo me acuerdo tome en el tren desde Dinamarca. Llegue a conocer no solo Suecia pero tambien Noruega i Finlandia o por lo menos pesa algo de tiempo en Scandinavia. Yo lei algo sobre la historia de tu pais que son el pais de las tres coronas porque en un tiempo tubieron a Noruega i Finlandia.
@Gastonsweden otra cosa que le diria que esta pelicula no es mala porque no es real porque una pelicula no tiene que ser real para ser buena. La pelicula "Amadeus" tampoco es real sin embargo es buena. Esta pelicula casi no tiene tema, sus dialogos son casi sin sentido i muchas cosas mas que la hacen una obra sin ningun valor o por lo menos en mi opinion.
@truvianni Well, least they should make the effort to make it more realistic! I know 6 languages too, 3 latins and 3 Germanics, and of course a movie can be good even if it is not real, I didn't like it because Beethoven was playing the roll of the bad mood ignorant guy, and he was greater than that, & that girl was set as greater than Beethoven, she was conducting (and Beethoven's nephew did really doing that) directing and embarracing Beethoven instead, silly movie!
@Gastonsweden I agree with you completely on this film and all I said was that I see nothing in it which would make it American. I for the most part do not like American films yet no one can say we do not have better films than this. After all Amadeus was an American film despite its being directed by a Czech. I see the problem as being one of bad dialog apart from many things. I am a writer by the way and if you care to read my work all you need do is google my name "Truvianni".
@Gastonsweden and the languages I speak are English, Polish, Italian, French, Spanish and Russian. I naturally understand Potuguess like I imagine you as a Swede understand Norwegian and Danish. I as a matter of fact wrote a book about a girl from Sweden living in New York. I am looking for a publisher.

@sosamuera Yo estoy de acuerdo que es una basura la pelicula pero no porque no es verdad. Despues de todo "Amadeus" no fue todo realidad tampoco pero sin embargo fue una buena pelicula esto es incluso peor que "Immortal Beloved"
anyone who likes this film I encourage them to PLEASE look into the real history of Beethoven which this movie fails to represent. Whether or not that's a bad thing is up to you but I get so tired of people allowing utterly fictional movies to influence their perception of history/reality. Who would do that, you say? lots of people, unfortunately.
for starters, there was no anna holtz, beethoven did not conduct the orchestra at the 9th premiere, his nephew was not a lecherous wastrel..etc ;)
@RAREpicture why the rudeness? you're the one that needs to give it a rest- obviously everyone DOESNT know that as I've seen people on utube and elsewhere trying to find out if there really was an anna holtz and so forth.
movies are very influential and like any good story if its told enough some people will start to believe it. all I did was courteously suggest to anyone who enjoyed the film to take a little time and look into the facts- its enjoyable and worthwhile to get the real story(s.)
This movie is not so good. Not only does it share the the historacle inacuracies as Amadeus does it doesnt even come close to what Beethoven was like. At least Amadeus was only wrong about Salieri. But portrayed Mozart close. No wonder this movie failed.
well, amadeus is still only a story. not only that but it's actually based on an opera by rimsky-korsakov. so the innacuracies are well-built into the story from knowledge thought to be true over a century ago.
Yeah you're so right! As if any thing like that could ever have happened more than once in life or fiction. Nonsense. Who really thinks composers would actually tell someone what to write if (s)he were inhibited from doing so themselves?
*reads rotton tomatoes comments, kills computer* I HATE CRITICS!!! Honestly, the only people who should have the right to criticize art should be artists themselves, not just people with rotten opinions.
Very well acted and good film, this and immortal beloved really explain to you the kind of complexed character Beethoven really was, a genius not fully understood in his times.
in case of ppl who didnt understand beethovens ear is that he was deaf so he tried to think wat it sounded and it sounded beautiful but since he was deaf he wasnt sure so how it sounded to the ppl he thought it sounded the same as him its like somone who trying blind cross a street as if it was safe but other blind ppl think its not
Beethoven actually died during a lightning storm. Now that's what I call a fitting end for a person like him!
