  • one of the best movies i've ever seen! SUPER!

  • beethoven's 9th symphony is mandatory in this trailer

  • I wrote a book called "Beethoven's Immortal." It is about who the Immortal Beloved really was. My take on it is that the reason nobody ever found out who she was is because she is from the future, so it is a time travel story. It is available at numerous sites, including Amazon and Synergebooks. Check it out!

  • vithoreal: It´s the fourth movement of the nine symphony, called The choral, you can search like ode to joy

  • What's the song that starts playing at 1:30 ? Is that the 6th symphony? O.o I can't find that exact point in any other videos in YT

  • Imagine how the world would have changed if he had livedlonger...

  • @superxinyang

    Not much? He'd have written a few more symphonies. That's about it. Composers don't really change the world. They leave beautiful music. And - that's it.

  • waa la quiero ver :3

  • it's iMMortal, not Imortal

  • hahaha YES I disagree! That's just stupid shit. Do you know anything about Beethoven except from this movie?

  • what piece is that da da da da da na na na na na na na naaa na ?

  • @ssmerlin if it's the one sung by Beethoven's nephew, then it is "Ode to Joy" :D

  • omg gary is so hot!!!! gahhhh

  • VWYL900802, киркоров тоже очень похож!!!!1

    kirkorov have similar destiny!!!1

    бугагага

  • Comment removed

  • would anyone disagree that michael jackson and beethoven amounted the similar kind of fate and fame? many lovers, genius in music, ruined a child's life, hated by many in life and loved by many afterlife, psychopathic daddy, superstar of their times, etc.

  • @VWYL900802 That's not too far fetched given his relationship with his nephew too. I think the connection would be more apt though if Michael Jackson had lost his feet or something and did the moon walk with prosthetics. The deafness element is a very important element to Beethoven's frustrating life.

  • @ingaman what about MJ's plastic surguries? that's a huge part of his life too. to be able to breathe is to be able to live, to be able to live is to be able to make music to begin with.

  • @VWYL900802 I would not agree, but why do you katie-ask? :)

  • @VWYL900802 dont compare them. Michael Jackson wasn't a composer, or even deaf

  • @atariiiiable thank you!

  • @VWYL900802 Hey retard, adult lovers are one thing. Innocent children as lovers are entirely a different thing. NOW Shut the Fuck Up with your absurd comparisions with a genius and a fucking pedophile. Fucking RETARD, Cultural Marxist or Negro enbler!

  • @VWYL900802 Hey retard, adult lovers are one thing. Innocent children as lovers are entirely a different thing. NOW Shut the Fuck Up with your absurd comparisions with a genius and a fucking pedophile. Fucking RETARD, Cultural Marxist or black enbler!

  • @Vavazelus umm..... mj wasnt a pedo at first. mj suffered child abuse and so did beethoven. they both had a bad childhood that kind of reflected their way of looking and treating kids when they grow up.

  • @VWYL900802 I think that's a very insolent comparation...

  • @VWYL900802

    Your comparison of the two is absurd.

  • @VWYL900802 I don't see how Michael ruined a childs life.

  • @VWYL900802 I don't see how Michael ruined a childs life.

  • @EwingesM- of course not! But that being said, do your own research and get a music major. That'll do it. Lol. Beethoven also was the first that I know of to write about the relation of particular keys to human emotion. So you can add music therapy to his list of achievements too.

  • @gtrgdss lol I don't need to research--he was a 19th century public figure-tongues wagged and theories abounded just as they do today--so his musical achievements aside-where's a really credible source to canvass for factual information about the person he was? Because where people generally get what information they go by really comes from reading the theories and suppositions that others have taken the time to write what they thought. It's all about the music itself IMHO. Cheers--PHX

  • One of my favorite all-time movies. The status quo will never appreciate this movie - quite a shame. Gives us a wonderful look into what might have been. Although historically, some may not have been true, the movie was brilliant - as was Oldman. Truly one of the most brilliant, under-rated actors of our time.

  • The world,s best movie!!!!!!!!

  • ESTA pelicula es verdaderamente Romantica, en el sentido más cabal de la palabra

  • I'm SO gonna buy this movie for myself as a Christmas present! :D I <3 BEETHOVEN

  • @juiceliina I finally bought this film and trust me it is truely under-rated, Oldman (and the rest of the cast) was outstanding!!

  • @juiceliina It's one of my most treasured movies. I was born on his birth date and I am a classical musician. :) If you haven't bought this movie yet, DO IT NOW!!! It is nothing short of brilliant. My only complaint was that the ending was too predictable.

  • oh i'm dying to see this movie....

  • what is the second song that is played?

  • @uclabball13

    I believe it's the fifth movement to Beethoven's pastoral or sixth symphony.

  • @ingaman it is, yes

  • This movie wasn't intended for the imbedded officianado. It's for those of us who know of his work only by passing reference. For us, this movie made a very lasting impression. Yes, I know it took ample liberties with the facts, but, with all that in account, what a gift given to mankind everywhere, forever.

    I am just overwhelmed when I think of the fact that every last note, for every last instrument and voice, for each piece of music, was written by one DEAF man!

  • @STUPIDMEMBER

    Well said.

  • @STUPIDMEMBER No just his later stuff was written by a deaf man. He was not deaf his entire life, in fact I heard that the opening motif of the 5th symphony represented fate knocking at his door when he found out that he was going deaf.

  • @STUPIDMEMBER well, not each piece....he was completely deaf round 30 years old. the last period of his life. and as he was more and more deaf, his music was more and more legend!

  • @STUPIDMEMBER Deaf, eh? HOW deaf are we talking? His growing/increasing inability to hear from early to late in life has been played up and upon way too much for accuracy of his situation, scholars and biographers being the worst lot involved in the spread of this ignorance...respectfully.

  • @EwigesM According to all credible accounts I have read, Beethoven lost his hearing via Syphilis.

  • @gtrgdss lol were you there to know for absolutely certain? because there sure are one heck of a lot of conflicting stories that have been around the block a few times from these so called credible accounts

  • @EwigesM He was "so deaf" that he inadvertently became the "inventor" of the musical notation referred to as the "triple forte" (written fff in music, in italics, below the notes.) Triple forte is another way of saying EXTREMELY FREAKING LOUD. Before him, there was no fff. He was (pardon) instrumental in the invention of the piano as we know it. They had to make the wires stronger because he hit them SO hard, on harpsichord. Thus, different sound.

  • @STUPIDMEMBER Well precisely so. The saying, "It goes through one ear and out the other" did not apply to him.

  • whats the first song in this trailer?

  • The younger Beethoven reminds me a bit of the tenor Roberto Alagna in this film:)

  • Gary Oldman was brilliant in this movie!

  • This trailer does no justice for the film

  • The worst trailer ever. LOL.

  • the film is the best ever but he was  the one beethoven i love his music .......

    but his live was amaizing too...

    the best from KoSOVO

  • the movie is amazing

  • i have watched all Beethoven movies.. why does this trailer seem so different from the others ?

  • just saw this movie and i gotta say very good!!!!!

    i gotta say i was extremely attracted to gary oldman as young beethoven!

  • Attention, Beethoven fans and music majors: If there is one question (or two or three) you would ask Beethoven if he were alive today, what would it be? Would it be about his deafness, his approach to music, his love life, etc.?

    I ask because I'm doing research for my MFA. Thank you.

  • Asking "Who was your immortal beloved" would be too basic of a question, but still valid I think. Probably would question his relationship with God or fate while referring to his famous quote "I shall seize Fate by the throat; it shall certainly not bend and crush me completely." For music, maybe I'd ask what he would do if he were never to become deaf. Would he compose symphonies like he did? Would he continue performing and writing klavier work or something else.. maybe politics or philosophy?

  • Thank you!

  • No problem. Good luck with your MFA =)

  • i would ask all three

  • @LAJ0529 I would ask what one thing he would have wanted to world to know about him. So many rumors and incorrect information going around, you know. This movie had some of it too. I'd ask what his biggest complaint is about modern day music, and who his favorite modern day artists are and why.

  • "His fire offended their small brains"!

  • Wow! I think they caught it all in the trailer!

  • One of my all time favorite movies. Gary Oldman is probably the best actor of the past 30 years.

  • film estremamente meraviglioso

  • GARY is a genius.

  • I MUST SEE THIS MOVIE!!!!!

  • i have never seen it bt really want to does anyone now why it is rated R

  • Nudity and violence mostly. I think there might've been some profanity too. Honestly... the trailer is a lot better than the movie itself. In my opinion, there haven't been any good movies about Beethoven yet. "Copying Beethoven" which is a historically incorrect, feminist take on Beethoven's later years. And this movie, which was depressingly boring for a Beethoven movie. Trailer still is awesome though :p.

  • thanks

  • +There was a violent rape scene.

  • I agree! Although I love this movie, (Gary Oldman being superb in this role) the film could've been way better. They should make a Beethoven trilogy movie!

    There's a lot more stuff to show about Beethoven's character. For example, physically, his brow should be sticking out more, he should have brown eyes, thick nose, grumpy facial expression, squat, pock-marked, and yell when he talks! They say Beethoven used to have no manners whatsoever, and he had the habit of spitting, too.--FYI-- }:(

  • Interesting you say that. I've actually been tossing a few ideas around for a couple years in hopes of writing a Beethoven movie screenplay. I'm just a University film graduate, so I want to wait a while before I make anything as special or too close to my heart; to gain experience and all, but there is so SO much that you can do with Beethoven's life and music. Amadeus won so many academy awards and Mozart had far fewer struggles, in my opinion. Beethoven deserves a quality film about his life!

  • Good luck with your Beethoven movie.

    I'll be the first one in line on the film's

    debut.

  • Maravillosa pelicula

    !!!

  • muy verdad

  • el mas grande compositor  y musico de toda la historia . Superior a Mozart , a Hayden , a bach , a Chopin .

  • oh so beautiful
