if Beethoven was alive today then he would look today's music artist look horrible. same with a lot of classic music artists. Classical music is hard to play or even write i think
Never acquiesce or empower people who inform you to shut up. Democracy? Say what you wish. Many people died so you could be able to speak whatever is on your mind. Expressing your thought is the best way to pay them back.
I get it, i'm seeing it...it's amazing/gourgeus. It's he..it's he...it's the great Ludvig van in person...gourgeus!! I bet it's the best movie about beethoven. Gourgeus!!
This work, by the maestro, was completed and performed when he was stone deaf. I find it extraordinary that he could not hear his own work (or the thunder of applause) when it was over. Ironically, it did not make him as much money as he expected. But today, it is considered one of the greatest pieces of music EVER composed.
It was the next day, brothers, and I had truly done my best, morning and afternoon, to play it their way and sit, like a horrorshow co-operative malchick, in the chair of torture, while they flashed nasty bits of ultra-violence on the screen. Though not on the soundtrack, my brothers. The only sound being music. Then I noticed in all my pain and sickness what music it was that like cracked and boomed - it was Ludwig van - Ninth Symphony, fourth movement.
On a computer screen, this is merely a detached video clip with nice music. But check it out, in the context of the whole movie, on a big screen hi-def system with 5.1 Dolby surround sound... and, in a word... Wow. Just, Wow. Incredible.

I was actually sorta disappointed when this scene came around in the movie. It's like, here you have the greatest piece of music ever composed, the sum of all the world's joy and passion, mankind's greatest cultural achievement (that was composed by a deaf man no less) and the entire scene is him running from his dad and laying down in a pond. :-/
@slashslashdotdot I disagree. It shows a scene from Beethoven's childhood and maybe thats because it was meant to show that his whole life he's had this piece he's been working on and it was until that moment that he was completely able to bring it to life.
@slashslashdotdot That is a reference to the Voyager spacecraft that was sent into outer space by NASA a few decades ago. The voyager is a satellite spacecraft that set on a mission to contact extraterrestrial creatures. If the beings from outer space were to ever get ahold of the spacecraft, the song Ode to Joy by beethoven would begin to play.
Haha I just saw this movie in my music theory class the other day, damn good movie and beautiful composition. Gary nailed Beethovens character perfectly, almost looked just like him to haha
I am attending the symphony tomorrow evening to listen to Beethoven's "Ode To Joy". I shall say a little prayer to the Maestro and to God for this beautiful music.
Freude, schöner Götterfunken Tochter aus Elysium, Wir betreten feuertrunken, Himmlische, dein Heiligtum! Deine Zauber binden wieder Was die Mode streng geteilt; Alle Menschen werden Brüder, Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt. Joy, beautiful spark of gods Daughter of Elysium, We enter drunk with fire, Heavenly one, your sanctuary! Your magic binds again What custom strictly divided. All men become brothers, Where your gentle wing rests.
Its a gift from God. It allows us to Contemplate eternity. My personal fav... Furtwangler (the greatest conductor) and the 9th... brings me to tears every time. An Interesting post. My warm and kind regards,
Can the retards on here stop arguing like first year university students trying to impress their politics professor. You have one of the finest achievements of mankind here playing here, and you're ruining it.
Another interesting thing, is to hear Mozart, and then Beethowen. Mozarts childood was quite harmonic, you can hear it in his music. Ludwig had different experiences, and a drunk father that beat him. His music is mostly deeper and sometimes heavier. I love both ofcourse. To me, Beethowen is the symbol of music, like Chaplin is the symbol of film.
that is quite true. if you listen to ode to joys bass you hear it is quite sad. it represented ludwig in a way because he was quite an opposite emotion than he expressed.
But if there is an issue concerning all the communities, each community will appoint an independent representative to go to a meeting, with the entire community's views (a reason why the communities would be small), and speak upon them at the meeting. The group would then act upon all the problems.
Instead of voting ones out, they would work with everyone else to fix the solutions.
Communists are idiots they don't understand the value of private property and they love progressive taxes, no thanks. Yes it always does lead to dictatorships, ummmm Pol Pott, Stalin, Fidel Castro.
Do you know the difference between property and possession? Communism is a society without a state, government, or leader. There would be NO taxes. Communism is an end result, NOT a means of getting somewhere. That is what you do not understand.
A dictatorship, if necessary at all, would be used to help the people reach this end result. Even then, the temporary government would be strictly watched and confined.
What you have seen is dictators abusing their power.
So what you are saying is that all means of production and services should be owned and run independently by the workers? How will this be regulated economically?
Free market capitalism seems to be out of the question, the only half-viable option that remains is an authoritarian government enforcing a planned economy. And for this to happen, human rights would need to be severely restricted. So you're basically back to state-controlled slavery.
Let's say that the people live in small communities. Each community would need to be independent. If a community is running low on something or is in an area scarce of a resource they need, then they would barter with the next community for the resource they need.
This method ensures that the communities get what they need without the need to crush another to get what it needs. Understand what I am saying?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I don't know if you equate fascism with slavery too, but I'd rather be a "slave" in the glorious, united, proud, prosperous nation of Adolf Hitler's Third Reich (before he started messing everything up in 1940) than live in a sick, corrupt democracy; "one empire, one people (and race), one leader" is my kind of place.
As for freedom, it doesn't truly exist in the West anyway. "None are so hopelessly enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free."
Wtf does this have to do with Ode to Joy?!? Go and shave your head somwhere bloody else, you glorious-and-prosperous-wipe-my-ass-wanker! I bet you smell too!
I have never been able to figure out how Gary Oldman did not win an Osar for Immortal Beloved. I know Tom Hanks won for Forrest Gump and he was good but Oldman in Immortal Beloved would be my choice without question.
maybe he doesn't want the attention for his roles. I have seen him in so many movies, and he creates the character, but doesn't want the attention. He just likes acting, maybe.
Yeah I agree, he does do it for the acting, which makes him great but I would just wanna see him celebrated. There was a video around Youtube where some girl stops him and another guy and asks who he is. Instead of saying something to the effect of "I'm Gary fucking Oldman, bitch!" he gives a fake name.
The Ode to Joy from the 9th Symphony was the first piece of music by Beethoven that I ever heard - off an old 78 rpm record of all things. I was 13 years old, and I shed tears when I heard it: visions of humanity united with humanity, and all creation with God. Today I am 56, and as I hear it now - still the tears come. Beautiful and sublime!
Lucky you, the first piece of Beethoven you ever heard. Mine was Fur Elise, which I learned to play on the piano, but this is the work of more than a genius. It is the creation of the Human Experience in a man's life.
To float in a sea of stars ..... wieghtless and unfettered by the bounds of this earth.... this music is sublime..... a gift for all, through the ages ......
This was my favorite scene aside from the last scene that produced copious tears. tHis was his victory, when he ws old enough to run, and when they turned him around to see the audience cheering. It is hard to imagine he was deaf when he wrote it. Thank you for posting this.
i must say that i really really love this part of the film, its pure magic, and this song is my very favourite of all times, this music has the power to change your mood and personally it always makes me feel so joyous no matter what that i feel like my heart is at the brink of exploding of pure joy. thanks ludvig!
Yes yes, this is what you listen to when something has gone right in your life, because it is like a spark of celebration dedicated to the joys of the world!
this scene, the imagery and music starting and stopping when it does in a mere 3 minutes and 43 seconds has the strange ability to make me feel utterly reborn. amazing.
One of my teachers told me how the word "awesome" gets tossed around so much today as to completely dilute it's meaning. I can think of no other word that describes this. A triumph not only of music, or art, but of humanity and the will to live against all agents of apathy and death, namely, people.
This is joy born from great pain; no joy can be sweeter than that great which follows great pain. I don't know that true joy can even be known without first a taste of sorrow, and Ludwig certainly tasted both.
the most impressive scene in "Immortal Beloved". Music - during young Beethoven is running - is so compatible with this what we can watch. And later when he enters to water too. And at the end that choir when Beethoven is between stars..
i cried for the first time in 9 years when i saw this scene. the part where he's floating in the starfield cued with the vocals-- amazing. this whole movie was amazing
I really enjoy Beethoven and Mozart, but I do wish in some of the operas that I could understand them. German and Italian never any English. Genius though
ode to joy is in fact our first attempt to say hi to et, now it is travelling aboard voyager 10 i think, it is recorded in a golden record in a way to say we are the humans, capable to build an atomic bomb but also write this beautiful music.
my favorite masterpiece of all time, i think ludwig was inspired by god when he wrote it....just amazing.
Enorme pieza musical, ahora viaja al espacio profundo en una misión voyager, será nuestro primero contacto con otras inteligencias.
No, we did not create this wonderful music. Ludwig Van Beethoven created this music. LVB was a man apart from everyone else. He was the Einstein of his time and still a pure genius by today's standard.
Music fit for the kingdom of heaven. Truely glorious. And to think it was composed by a deaf person! What a testament to the human spirit. If aliens landed on earth and wanted to destroy us we would just play this glorious song to them and hope for the best.
Ever consider that he wasn't deaf. Maybe he faked it to get the recognition. Perhaps I should not speak of this nonsense. But I find it unimaginable and impossible to create such music without hearing it.

One of my teachers told me how the word "awesome" gets tossed around so much today as to completely dilute it's meaning. I can think of no other word that describes this. A triumph not only of music, or art, but of humanity and the will to live against all agents of apathy and death, namely, people.

This is joy born from great pain; no joy can be sweeter than that great which follows great pain. I don't know that true joy can even be known without first a taste of sorrow, and Ludwig certainly tasted both.

I think I can say, in all seriousness, that the end of the part of this scene starting at 3:00 changed my life.

"There's nothing as beautiful as getting near Divinity and spread its lightning through human race".

Love Beethoven. As for the film, this is the only part I really like of the film...the music and this memory. The rest is kind of annoying.

the most impressive scene in "Immortal Beloved". Music - during young Beethoven is running - is so compatible with this what we can watch. And later when he enters to water too. And at the end that choir when Beethoven is between stars..
Absolutely wonderful!

Does anyone know who conducted the 9th for this movie? Also I would also like to know who sang the male voice.

If the first movement of Beethoven's 5th was "Fate knocking at the door", then the Ode to Joy is God answering it.

I really enjoy Beethoven and Mozart, but I do wish in some of the operas that I could understand them. German and Italian never any English. Genius though

ode to joy is in fact our first attempt to say hi to et, now it is travelling aboard voyager 10 i think, it is recorded in a golden record in a way to say we are the humans, capable to build an atomic bomb but also write this beautiful music.
my favorite masterpiece of all time, i think ludwig was inspired by god when he wrote it....just amazing.
Enorme pieza musical, ahora viaja al espacio profundo en una misión voyager, será nuestro primero contacto con otras inteligencias.

He wasn't inspired by god he was probably just pissed.

No, we did not create this wonderful music. Ludwig Van Beethoven created this music. LVB was a man apart from everyone else. He was the Einstein of his time and still a pure genius by today's standard.

Music fit for the kingdom of heaven. Truely glorious. And to think it was composed by a deaf person! What a testament to the human spirit. If aliens landed on earth and wanted to destroy us we would just play this glorious song to them and hope for the best.

Ever consider that he wasn't deaf. Maybe he faked it to get the recognition. Perhaps I should not speak of this nonsense. But I find it unimaginable and impossible to create such music without hearing it.
