The man, the myth, the legend
I didnt think that I would like this movie. I was required to do a
review of it for one of my college classes, and I must say that I am truly astonished by this movie. Gary Oldman was deserving of an Oscar for his portrayal of Ludwig van Beethoven. His performance is remarkable. The facial expressions, the tension in his face, and his firm tone make him a perfect fit for the role. This movie blows Amadeus away because it seems a lot more real to me. You don't have Mozart prancing around like a fruit (which I doubt that he was) rather you have a gripping, serious performance that really translates the feeling of how Beethoven was. The music is also excellent. Scenes are transgressed through the use of music and really set the mood for the movie- just as they were reflections of Beethoven's move when he wrote them. A truly great movie that anyone should enjoy, rather than Amadeus which might be more directed at the "Classic" crowd. Do yourself a great justice and rent this movie- it is well worth it. 9 out of 10. A must see for Gary Oldman fans . fierce43 watch 13 Moons movie

Gary Oldman at his finest. He was just like what you would imagine Beethoven to be like. Also the music is increadible even if you aren't into classical music. A good story to follow with a twist in the end..
A perfect fit when it comes to the story, the music and the cast
This was the first DVD I watched on my new high def television ,and
when you combine the terrific story with the beautiful locations where this film was made, it is a great film. I turned a couple of my friends in the audio/video retail business on to this film and they have used the DVD to demo high def televisions and DVD players. The movie will definitely separate the poor quality equipment from the good stuff. I made my 16 year old nephew watch this movie with me and the combination of the story and the absolute first rate acting made it possible for him to enjoy the classical music. The movie enables someone who does not have a taste for classical to hear and feel things about the music they could not get from simply listening to the music by itself. It is hard for me to think of a more underrated film than this one.. |
