Passion and Love: Beethoven's

A detailed Summary of Passion and Love: Beethoven's


The film Immortal Beloved was amazing. It was something very entertaining yet educational at the same time. I've always known about Beethoven. From the time of my early childhood days I have been introduced to culture. Music is one aspect of culture that I was always exposed to. I remember going to music stores with my parents and buying stacks of classical compact discs. When I was a child though, I never really appreciated this type of music. I used to complain whenever my parents would play their cds. Having watched Immortal Beloved, I have a new appreciation for classical music especially that of Beethoven's. The passion, feeling, glory, sadness, joy, triumph, regret that his music contains and conveys which once escaped me now hits me straight at my core.

I really and truly enjoyed Immortal Beloved a lot. As soon as I got home after watching this film, I raided my parents' music cabinet. I had an inane desire to listen to Beethoven's music after learning a bit more about his life. Listening to his music willingly for the first time in my life, I found myself touched. I think that knowing


I believe that the film holds both American and European characteristics. The pace of the movie holds both characteristics. It was relatively slow paced compared to other American films yet fast paced compared to other European films. It was slow enough for the filmmakers to be able to explore each aspect of Beethoven's life and introduce it to us slowly. Yet, it was fast enough that you didn't feel like falling asleep in the middle of the film.

Beethoven was a genius. Talent like that only comes very rarely in this world. We were blessed to have a Beethoven who was able to write music like that. What I find admirable is that he recognized his gift and he wanted to share it with the world. He was an eccentric genius who, to a certain extent, didn't know how to handle a normal life anymore. I think maybe he was too much of a genius to go down from his perch and join the rest of humanity in the way we live our lives. He has his own way of doing every little thing- from loving to bringing up his nephew. Nothing about him was usual or normal. I'm not trying to glorify Beethoven. He was just a very different man from the rest of us.
