Beethoven - Immortal Beloved, Excerpt

[robcas631]

Thanks to Gary Oldman for his acting skills.

[robcas631]

Please adore your children. Love them and never beat them.

[prashantarjunsable]

@robcas631

Good luck man. I hope you are doing good now.

[robcas631]

@prashantarjunsable I can survive a lot of pain. That is how I am doing.

[ilajuhil7]

Brilliant movie scene written for brilliant music!

[GildedAgeLover]

There's a reason why Richard Wagner  fell at the feet of only one composer, other than himself. And that's Beethoven. So supreme was Beethoven that sifting through centuries of music, Wagner, the supreme egotist, could only find this single composer to measure himself against and, alas, find himself wanting. This indirect compliment reveals the true stature of Beethoven like no other compliment I can think of.

[theone364]

What can I say ..

we can't capture his brilliance with our language ..

He is legen ... wait for it ..

,

.

.

dary .. !!

[williamstdog9]

@theone364 I know: "we can't capture his brilliance with our language ..."

You're talking about Gary Oldman right?

[metalman111]

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!

[LaBrujaKozmica]

I love this music with all my soul.

[htspassion18]

Beethoven is immortal beloved

[Jamaicax78]

as everybody knows you dont heard the music you dont make music you dont learn music, bitches and youngers : you Feel the Music

[squamish4244]

Because he was deaf he could hear the universe.

[tavisho]

just perfect¡¡

[MoralInvasion]

Beauty born of the most desperate of circumstances, my God I had no idea Ludwig was telling us of the joy of escaping a beating.

[uchual]

Exquisite

[benniquaid]

This is the music that should represent the human race should we ever be visited by aliens.

[chachaperu1]

So I am a peruvian that loves classical music also :)

[NapalmWeed]

Everyone always puts this song to some epic scenery or action or celebration, when all it is, is the simple JOY of being at peace with the universe.

[nick92691]

everytime the good guy wins at wrestlemania,they should play this starting at 3:08

[domodudethatrocks]

i dont get what i just watched...:(

[Tezcatlipoca1984]

how can we not love the man who created such beautiful music!!!!

[Folma7]

Fugue! Fugue!

[MagickalFire]

At 3:05 is the anthem for the European Union. Great choice of music!

[TheTDey]

Amazing scene, amazing movie. Can't ask for a better soundtrack. In fact the film is just a videotrack to the music.

[Sabin06]

Oh God if I was to ever see this in concert I would cry the sound of this music is soo beautiful. i get tears in my eyes when ever I hear this song.

[inkkwell]

@Sabin06 ME TOO!!! Plus the scene in the lake of stars is such gorgeous symbolism.

[PapagenoJuan2]

I used to run through the woods like this, hearing this music in my head :)) Beethoven is my idol

[inkkwell]

@PapagenoJuan2 How can he not inspire. His music is like a drug, once you've experienced it, you're intoxicated. Period.

[PriestChristopher]

How do you dislike a man who can write music like that?

[Daniella26able]

@PriestChristopher Amen!!!

[Carl8217]

Title of the movie is " Immortal Beloved"

[7xXx666xXx7]

why Carl Sagan put the 5th symphony in the voyager instead of the 9th symphony????!!!! :S 

[nakedgunmusic]

@7xXx666xXx7 What's the problem with the 5th? Its a masterpiece too.

[029Mhelz]

What's the title of the movie?

[Agomongo1235]

@029Mhelz Immortal Beloved

[Daniella26able]

@029Mhelz Immortal Beloved, a beautiful and sad movie, about the life and death of Ludwig van Beethoven.

[cheesyrichardhead]

@Daniella26able oh Beethoven is not dead

[gat0rbball]

@cheesyrichardhead Beethoven certainly is not dead. He is chilling with Tupac and Elvis right now on a small Island in the South Pacific.

[inkkwell]

@gat0rbball Tupac? You put Tupac up there with Beethoven? A vulgar criminal with the artistic value of a trashy dimestore novel?

[gat0rbball]

@inkkwell Tupac is considered to be one of the greatest rappers ever. I mean Elvis was a drugged up moron as well. Not to mention the pop culture joke about Tupac being alive? Stop trying to be a troll you goblin and stfu.

[sraceh]

Genius!!!!

[felixn65]

The child is the father of the man.

[medesdaddy]

The 9th is simply the best musical work in the history of the human race. It's just that simple

[EricThe82]

@medesdaddy Rachmaninoff's 3rd Concerto is better. But the 9th is certainly a good listen.

[Agomongo1235]

the ending of the movie is outstanding ='( made me cry beautiful done

[louderthanlove]

Beautiful scene from a great movie!

[MrTapoche]

best music ever!

[JackIsASexyMf]

Gary Oldmen is a champion

[032125]

Musicians should pray to Beethoven for inspiration.

[neuIlaryRheinKlange]

@032125 Haha, i totally agree :)

[reddracoqueen]

I would love to mash this up with the other movie about him called Copying Beethoven. That would be so neat.

[secretlovechild87]

I saw this movie oh several times, and i proudly own it, Gary was outstanding, highly under-rated.

[thepersianpianist]

excellent as always

[tonys4ys]

The movie was exquisite and Beethoven, he is a god amongst musicians!

[BabylonAGoGo]

Beethoven is the master of the musical universe!

[Patti51Lynn]

Is his dad the same actor in Law & order CI? he looks like him?

[medesdaddy]

Justin Bieber is the next Beethoven!!!!!!!!!

[medesdaddy]

@medesdaddy LOL

[johnbrewer1]

if any one likes beetthoven watch immortal beloved

[3wiggles]

fuck, beethoven is the man

[zbstr611]

baddest scene in this movie, period!

[lilbuttmunch]

i luv how the director of this film shows what beethoven thought when he created this piece

[selena4me06]

one of the best scenes!!!

[eoplocephalus]

How could some people put the mane of this great pianist in a a fucken dog??

[anjalimudra603]

3:09-3:55 exactly how I feel whenever I go swimming in natural bodies of water...

[katsummers1]

My favorite composition made even more powerful by this (film's) interpretation of the events in Beethoven's life. We are all running to that place were we are free.

[0312john]

Alle Menschen werden Brüder!

[msmaggie007t]

Perhaps my single most favorite scene in the movie. Ahhh Beethoven, only through your immense suffering could you have produced the most beautiful music of all time. Being deaf did not matter, you heard it all anyway.

[LetsGetSomeShoes2334]

it's just a little bit of the ole' ludwig van.

[reverbstudios]

Best scene in the film & great music. I've had a moment with the stars too..

[Loverboy954]

Yep, that' where Beethoven is, in the heavens. Just like the god he is.

[benniquaid]

How can anybody give this a "dislike"? Not only is this an untouchable brilliant piece, it's also a brilliant film.

[Wakipenda]

indeed...Beethoven's 9th symphony shud be included in the "What humans did well on Earth" box....sent to space among Einstens theories, etc...maybe some1 will listen...

[vandalizer32]

0:25 lol raped

[plagueofangels666]

Beethoven = everything good about music

[adhdboy699]

what movie /operas?

[craspe357]

IMO Man's greatest accomplishment in music

[craspe357]

The Angels in heaven were in awe of this

[jgesselberty]

Such glorious sound and never heard by its master.

[mixtraper1]

@jgesselberty he heard it..., in his heart and mind...

[nuke97]

3:00 and up ...simply profound.

[Sconz32]

Love this movie. Especially when Mozart is running through the forest and then falls into the river and almost drowns. Powerful acting from Bruce Willis.

[ifyousayso8]

@Sconz32 WHAT THE HELL ????? This movie , Immortal beloved , is about Ludwig Van bethooven NOT Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Ludwig Van beethoven is played in an amazing and powerful performance by the AMAZING actor Gary Oldman. And Bruce Willis has NEVER played Mozart. What are you talking about?

[pieguyfry22]

@ifyousayso8 I think he's high...

[ifyousayso8]

@pieguyfry22 Haha , Yeah. You gotta be pretty damn high if you when you watch this movie , see Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart played by BRUCE WILLIS almost drown in a river.

[telephowned]

@ifyousayso8 welcome to Trolled-on-Youtubeville, pop., You.

[ifyousayso8]

@telephowned How am I trolling when I react when someone say that in this movie "Immortal beloved" he saw Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (played by Bruce Willis) almost drown in a river? When this movie is about Ludwig van Beethoven played by gary Oldman , and Bruce willis has never played Mozart?

[ifyousayso8]

@telephowned Oh sorry , you said trolled on. Well excuse me for getting trolled :( I could not just let that comment stand there..... un-touched. Who knows , maybe some bigger moron then me would of thought it was true.

[TranceInstrukt]

Grand movie,Great movie !! beethoven never die

[ashokbo]

One of the finest moments from this otherwise mediocre movie

[benniquaid]

It appears 6 people have given this clip a "thumbs down." These 6 people are either retarded or have hit the "dislike" button mistakenly.

[5Cagey9Butterfly]

Actually, ever event happening to Beethoven in the film happened in real life- per documented historical fact.

Whereas Amadeus- entertaining though it is- is essentially a complete fabrication.

This is an excellent *film*. A living metaphor.:)

[nakedgunmusic]

@5Cagey9Butterfly The whole thing his immortal beloved true identity is movie fiction. Experts still don't know for sure who it is. Also his secretary Schindler is depicted as totally honest in the film, which is not true either. Historians have found he changed Beethoven notes himself... The "must it be" quote is also taken out of context in the film. For the rest I agree with you the movie is closer to the real thing than Amadeus.

[Jamaicax78]

@nakedgunmusic i agree with you good sir but lets take our time to think this its a movie it cant show the whole life of a man that would take at least 5 movies if done one a year lets hope that movies can show the beatiful that the music its

Pardon my english its rusty

[hotegr]

This movie wasn't meant to be educational. It's not a documentary, it's Hollywood. Just watch it and appreciate it for what it is.....a great work of art with fantastic music. Gary did a phenominal job. This is in my top 3 movies of all time

[AngelGirlBeethoven]

The movie was annoying, and as a whole is representation of the artist was very poor, but the scene really was exceptional. I really the very end of the scene. Wonderful.

[hadedorus]

Kitsch. The storyline, the choice of music. A poor imitation of Amadeus and a bad ... a really bad film...

[100irissa]

it´s a sin, it's a sin, it's a sin, it's a sin.....sorry... i've seen too many times the clockwork orange and thie beggining... ufff

[susancsals]

There are some powerful scenes in this film, but the premise is SO far from the truth that I cannot recommend this as being educational. The true story is so much better, so much more powerful.

[MichelleBook666]

beautiful video....Freedom!!!

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

Masterwork. I'm a pianist and I teach music, and this film is a (loved) must for my pupils.

[19ivan61]

bellissimo film e questa scena è il top... quella corsa nel bosco...........con quelle note... fantastico

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

fantastica. Insegno musica alle medie, e faccio sempre vedere questo film, così poetico e vivo. Beh, quella scena è quella che piace sempre più di tutte ai ragazzi (e a me), seguita da quella del Concerto Imperatore.

[motleyfitness]

So powerful!

[mtheadedwally]

While this film is absolutely riddled with factual and historical inaccuracies, I absolutely love it. Beethoven's music is absolutely timeless and this film, whilst highlighting his many flaws, is also a stunning tribute to hte man and his music.

[flyingsuperpetis]

This movie.

[blackthorn28]

Run Ludwig! Run from that miserable, bitter, cowardly, child abusing son of a bitch! Be free!!

[Sabin06]

@blackthorn28 No dont go in that pond its cold very cold, you will Freeze to death LUDWIG!!!! DONT go in to that pond!!!!!

[randomanonymity12]

yay ludwig!!

damn that water would have been bloody freezing....austria....=P

[theoklas]

beethoven was born in bonn, germany. there is even colder than in austria:-)

[ADHDfox]

Actually this scene of the film was filmed in the forest outside Prauge in Czech Republic. However the part where the young Ludwig Van Beethoven is running through the mountains in Hollywood. I have contact with the boy well he is know a man who played young Ludwig Van Beethoven.

[Ascaidh]

It soothed the ears

[Ascaidh]

the water of the lake.

[KISSMEMYFOOL69]

Beethoven rocks!!

[PapagenoJuan]

If anyone should have gone on Oprah, its Beethoven. He would have ripped her a new-one, hahaha. He is da man!!! :)))

[playbak]

Gary Oldman is ;)

[741220]

Beethoven inmortal... el compositor más grande de todos los tiempos, paradigma del artista, del genio... privado del sentido vital de todo músico... él ha demostrado que no hay límites para el hombre... la obra más representativa del ser humano ante el universo... me río, lloro... tantas emociones... tantas... no puedo seguir escribiendo, ya no puedo...

[Ascaidh]

Run Ludwig! Escape!

[PapagenoJuan]

Love it!!!! :))))))))

[alexgomez83]

@zephranna01 Thanks found it!!! although it was more towards the beginning than at the end, as it is portrayed here in the scene.

[alexgomez83]

i love this...however i dont think that what we are hearing is actually part of ode to joy. im always looking for it in the piece but i can never find it....

[LogicPunk1371]

This is the final part of Ode to Joy - the singing is the final part of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125 "Choral". The entire Symphony takes about an hour.

[alexgomez83]

@LogicPunk1371 thanks, i found it, but the part we are hearing now is actually early in the symphony and not at the last part of it, as it is being portrayed here in the scene.

[IIllIIllIl]

^listen to the whole symphony :O

[M3chah]

last movie that moved me , i guess cause i used to runaway alot and i love music and my dad used to abuse me , i love beethoven

[Chantale35]

that part...just......moves me in some unspeakable ways.

[Ascaidh]

Despite all that he endured he chose to be a creative person. A man that cared about us all. A fighter of freedom!

[Tezcatlipoca1718]

I love this film and this music, Beethoven, a real genious, this song, its just so beautiful!!!!!

[margarita6022]

This video contains my favorite scene from the film, when the young Beethoven escapes his monstrous father and becomes one with the cosmos. I love this movie.

[wiseone0001]

This piece is too pompous and loud. Too many instruments, making too much noise. Much like Beethoven actually.

[sindbad7cs]

As pompous as one calling himself "wise?" Wonderfully done, sir.

[wiseone0001]

Way to defend a man who would probably call you an idiot. As I am.

[sindbad7cs]

You are calling yourself an idiot? Bravo! You truly are a wise one.

[wiseone0001]

Wow, is that what you understood from my post? You truly are an idiot.

[sindbad7cs]

And the neat thing about your "judgment," is that you are probably extremely qualified to so judge others as pompous and idiotic. You seem to have amazing experience being both. Again, sir, bravo!

[wiseone0001]

If you don't cease and desist your abusive posting, I will report you. Furthermore, I will hunt you down and shave off that ugly ass mustache of yours. Thank you sir.

[sindbad7cs]

If you consider my posting abusive, report it - and include the stalker-like, creepy comments of yours about hunt[ing me] down..."

I'm sure that will convice YT of your sincerity as a true Internet tough guy. Though I'm not convinced, nor quaking.

[FriendlyCroock]

@wiseone0001 I think you should go to sleep little kid you don`t belong here

[sdafdsfsdfdsfsdf]

its too....happy for me.

[benpalin08]

I laid in a lake in the middle of a state park in the UP of Michigan last summer, completely calm water, full moon and stars the brightest i've ever seen, and I thought of this amazing scene and the Ode to Joy played in my head! I was also stoned too...

[Nesoja]

CYEAaaaa!!!!

[urbanmaiko]

Agreed. This scene is indescribable. I couldn't possibly express my feeling!

[Sconz32]

Great music of course, but props to the director too, he really bought this scene to life.

[BW92116]

Composer of the greatest music of all time.

[MrNobleSavagery]

Its good to see people who still think so

[Dotka85]

One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever!!!

[Morcillae]

Como puede la vida ser tan injusta? Beethoven murió en la miseria, mick jagger nada en oro...

[heimdallhinfrode]

Good point

[islumachoca]

Best piece of music ever written, he wrote 200 draft versions before coming to the final one (not this one), beyond all knowledge and probability.True genius master.

[Pablo1517]

Can we get the music with no sound effects?

[zerotwonin]

freude schöner götterfunken

tochter aus elysium

wir betreten feuertrunken

himmlischer dein heiligtum!

actually, i like the 2nd movement of his 9th just as much. quite different but very much just as ingenius!

[craspe357]

greatest music ever written

[folsak]

beethoven in the limits of human

[moishe505]

Two geniuses, Ludwig van Beethoven and Gary Oldman, at the top of their craft.

[baronluther]

0:00-3:55 Anybody who thinks they can write music just got their ass kicked.

[alexgomez83]

LMAO Two thumbs up, thats the best comment i have heard read on you tube....
