Immortal Beloved - the letter, final scene

[sycamoreleaves74]

This was truly one of the greatest tragic stories I have ever experienced, the great love lost. I was balling my eyes out, and still do when I see this scene. Gary Oldman made me love him just as much.

[pianistica]

Beautiful words... oh Beethoven :)

His music is the perfect film score, I can't believe how well it fits to this story.

[yukipillows]

too bad they didn't have text messaging.

[Rigggwelterlodge]

lovely... one..

[hermankingful]

Arguably the most beautiful piece of music ever written,

[whitney567891011]

SUCH A ROMANTIC LETTER BUT SO SAD SHE NEVER LOOKED ON THE TRAY

[FeynmanQuantum]

can someone give me the link to the final piano piece

[Doug19752533]

@FeynmanQuantum the music is the 2nd and 3rd movement of the 5th piano concerto, the "Emperor"

[takatthi1]

この場面は、いつ見ても号泣します。

お互いが、本気で好きだから勘違いしたのでしょうか？

自分は、5年前から、本気で好きな女の人がいます。

好きになってはいけない人を本気で好きになり、

幸せに出来る自信もないのに気持ちだけで、中途半端に告白したた­め、全く相手にされず、からかわれてばかりでした。

本気で好きな人には必ず幸せになって欲しいものです・・・。

今は、彼女が幸せになる事を祈るだけです・・・。

[littlewolver2]

to conzales94: the piece is called Piano Concerto No. 5 in E-flat Major, Op. 73 "Emperor" - it's about 7 and a half minutes down the song.

to 04AWP81: this is Czech subtitles version. I should have upload it without it but was too lazy to redo it.

[04AWP81]

Are the subtitles Czech or Slovak?

[conzalez94]

What is the very last piano piece called? Starts at 5:45

[ekollity28]

@conzalez94 The 2nd and 3rd movements of the Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 5

[kriegsammler]

Great scene.. bad editing of the video.. let the music play out at the end.. that's one of the best parts.

[JeannineAnne]

This was the first movie to ever make me cry! 

[wenhuikoi]

It was my greatest wish to visit Beethoven's grave outside of Vienna. This summer, my husband and I, plus my daughter went to Vienna. We found his grave just like in this movie! I love this movie and this ending, is, my all time favorite! For 16 years it built me up and made me strong... Always my beloved!

[emanspi]

what is the name of the song??

[wicker1985]

@emanspi

Piano Concerto No. 5 in E-flat Major, Op. 73 'Kaiser'

Cheers, 

[wasteland70]

The scene that kills me is when he looks up from the piano and watches her working on the couch.  He looks at her with such love, such peace. And she just feels his gaze. An amazing scene. Just wonderful.

[sebastianrc]

My other self...

[redsmooch989]

This was one of the best films i have ever seen. It was so sad and so beautiful~!

[doggy6233]

I love this movie I cry every time

[cabernet117]

What is the name of the song playing, especially at the end, when she is walking to his grave? Beautiful

[Agomongo1235]

@cabernet117 Piano Concerto No. 5 Movement 4 find the version with Hrowitz best version if you can't fin then jst tel me

[cabernet117]

@Agomongo1235 Yes! That is it. The Emperor Concerto. A wonderful masterpiece of human artistic creation. Thank you for letting me know, and all honor to God for allowing us to experience the emotion and beauty of Beethoven's work.

[wasteland70]

@cabernet117 What a beautiful response.

[TK2008BEST]

stupid servant...

[MelissaTicky]

@TK2008BEST I know... when ever i see the woman tuck the letter under the petit four i just want to smack her up the head.

I love this movie but it makes me doubt any hotel concierge...

I wonder though, if they had been together if his music would have been something different?

[wasteland70]

@MelissaTicky This film is an entirely fictional story. I hate to be a bummer, believe me, when I found out it wasn't true I was bummed. By the way, I'm only assuming you didn't already know, if you did, sorry.

[MelissaTicky]

@wasteland70 well the letter was real, the rest is indeed speculations.

I am not bummed, i just happen to enjoy the music and the letter was beautiful. We all know that he was torchered inside by something and that something could possibly have been love.

[wasteland70]

@MelissaTicky The letter is indeed real and a beautiful letter it is. I love the film, too. The music is wonderful and Oldman just hits it out of the park. There's a book called "Love Letters of Great Men" and this letter is included in it. I love the scene when he gets to the hotel and she's gone. I love when he trashes the room. It's just so powerful and then the shot of him sitting on the edge of the bed, staring out into the void. Great Stuff. I agree he was tortured by something.

[Agomongo1235]

Cried because it was so beautiful and sad had to watch the ending over and over again.

[infidel94]

ive lived in vienna for 5 months and i have to say living there makes you want to compose a music. i have also been close to beethoven's grave and many more great men

[Tinymoezzy]

Oh wow, i remember seeing that in theaters and just balling when she turned to Schindler and said "what letter" oh wow i just was in tears.

I felt so silly cryint for about 10 minutes but when i got up from my seat i saw over half the woman there just covered in splotchy mascara and the men all red in the eyes.

This is such a moving portrayal of Beethoven. I very much love this film.

Gary Oldman was the perfect fit to play Beethoven.

[Agomongo1235]

@Tinymoezzy This movie is just so speechless.

[shitonMOHAMMAD]

@Tinymoezzy

you know that Anton Krabbe was initially picked to have the part right?

[Tinymoezzy]

@shitonMOHAMMAD REALLY! I think he would have been a great choice, i really admire his acting. I am still pleased though that they went with Gary Oldman.

[shitonMOHAMMAD]

@Tinymoezzy

I think that they picked Oldman because of two reasons (based on what I remember of the interview)

1) because Oldman had more "range" of eccentricity and emotions

2) because of his piano skills

[themariaism]

Simply beautiful. This is my favourite movie.

[alexgomez83]

this is so incredibly sad.

[sycamoreleaves74]

This is still one of the few movies that makes me cry at the end. Even watching it in this short clip, I have tears running down my face. Makes me think of my long lost Immortal Beloved ...

[nazeera1948]

I can watch this on mute and it still sucks the tears from my face. WHY WHY WHY!!

[moderatrix]

No, I still cry over it and the music every time - it touches me so deeply, that it hurts my heart most of the time.

[nazeera1948]

am I the only one that cries watching this scene over and over!!! I wish someone would write me a love letter

[Stravinsky91]

@nazeera1948 One of the reasons why people have pretty much stopped wiritng love-letters like this, is because people think it's old and cliché :/ romaticism and chivalry is dead pretty much, even though some romanticist remains, lonley and misunderstood by this post-modernist society where every action like this is questioned with criticism...

[wasteland70]

@Stravinsky91 I agree completely. Completely. As an old romantic and all the rest......
