@mario54671 On the contrary, having lived with Beethoven for nearly 40 years, I can attest that Oldman came as close as possible to the actual man, not dressed up with feminist conceits.
-
@Tdgonline Oldman is musical in his nature - he also captured Sid Vicious as well as he did Beethoven. Harris is a great actor but he should forget his artistic conceits. He's about as convincing as Beethoven as Meryl Streep would be as Janis Joplin.

@Suspin Beethoven would no more have employed a woman for a copyist than he would have shaved his head and sported tattoos. Yet another paean to modern narcissism that has nothing whatsoever to do with its actual subject - the closest thing that comes to mind is a pouting and feminine Brad Pitt as Achilles channeling the over-feminized Brando screaming "Stella!!!"

@ttt8699 You are totally right. She's insufferable!
-
The female voice over is beyond terrible. She sounds utterly amateurish and half asleep!
-
@Suspin Amadeus was fictional aswell though.
-
I also think harris did a great job portraying beethoven, but as far as the history is concerned....well, it lacks what makes "Amadeus" such a great movie: the historical credibility.....I never believed that it actually went down that way, and the character of anna holz is most definitely imaginative......all in all I watched it because of Beethoven...

Great performance, terrible movie.

i think he channeled Beethoven fairly well. pity the movie didn't.
Ed Harris did a great job. He was very convincing and versatile. The movie probably did not reached that great an audience because of lack of mega-publicity and people might be not into the historical stuff anymore. But I loved it.
