Immortal Beloved
The most talented musician of the 19th century, 💯 percent. He takes literally 3-4 notes and builds an entire work on them. Just look at symphony no. 5: dadada duum, dadada duum, and so it repeats over and over again, wonderful! I truly believe that in his case, the art can be separated from his fiery and sometimes difficult temperament.

And Gary Oldman is magnificent here, genuinely one of the best living actors. Personally, i could also imagine Michael Shannon playing the maestro with equal intensity.

The film really asks: what if historical accuracy were about a 6/10, but the drama turned up to 11? And somehow, it worked.

🎬 Immortal Beloved (1995)
---------
بصراحة هذا واحد من أكثر الأفلام اللي خلتني أتعلق ببيتهوفن مو كـموسيقي بس
لا كإنسان مكسور ومجنون بالحياة وبالحب.
الفيلم بي جوّ درامي جدا ثقي
وكل مشهد يذكرك إنو العبقرية مرات تكون نقمة مو نعمة
التمثيل الخاص ب گاري اولدمان جان كلش حلو وضبطة هالدور بشكل مجنون وحسسني صدگ هذا بيتهوفين
الموسيقى؟
ماكو داعي أشرح لأن كل نغمة تخليك ترتجف
خاصة مشهد “Ode to Joy” 🔥
بالنسبة إلي هذا مو مجرد فيلم عن موسيقي
هذا فيلم عن إنسان فقد كل شي بس ظل صادق ويا نفسه.
تحفة مظلومة وما تنعاد بسهولة 🎹
التقييم : 9.2 / 10
