Amadeus and Immortal Beloved = Great Epic Movies!

Posted by Babyblue91 - January 16th, 2011


So for the past days I've been watching two of the most promising movies ever made. One is Amadeus featuring the story of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Two is Immortal Beloved. A story about Beethoven's "Angel" the one he ever loved. Watching these two made me understand their music even more.
I believe Mozart as a child is obviously a prodigy and nobody could top HIM. BUT, Mozart has his own flaws too. He may be good when it comes to music but then in life he seemed to have a hard time since before, his music was never appreciated. Many contradict his compositions. Especially Salieri (desperate composer -- as i could describe him) who is in awe of Mozart's music. He believed that Mozart's music is the voice of God and that he could never have. He also planned to destroy him. Mozart as a young adult is a heavy drinker, chases women and loves to do childish things. He is a "happy-go-lucky" person. A person I think you can never trust if your living at those times. But then his music astonishes people. I have so many things to say regarding the movie but all I can say is that it was well performed by Tom Hulce. He really portrayed Mozart very well. I learned a lot from the movie. It widened my understanding of their lives and music.

On the other hand Immortal Beloved is a story of a man, Beethoven for we all know had an illness as he became deaf. He really caught my attention for some reason, (I don't know why) than Mozart's story. Maybe because of he was unable to hear and he was a musician. And as a musician, hearing is our best friend. Beethoven is lowly man. It shows in his music. Very dark and heavy. As if all of his cares are passed through his music and people at his time didn't appreciate the kind of music he's producing. He became so grumpy as he loses his hearing. As if he's angry to the world and he blames it. He felt so ashamed. Nobody knows and feels like to be deaf. I feel pity of Beethoven in some parts of the movie. I feel the same way sometimes that nobody understands me. People mock and laugh at him which I think he never deserved. As when he died, people then after appreciate him more and his music. A lot of people when to his funeral. True to that "Regrets are felt when it's just too late". As for his beloved, he truly loved her despite of all the hurts that came to them. Beethoven tried to make her feel bad of all sorts but deep inside, he truly loved his immortal beloved. Which is very romantic of Beethoven. Musicians really love deeply no doubt.

*I am now addicted watching those kind of movies.. you know getting to know the life of our epic composers who made our music today. We owe them a lot for without them there will be no all sorts of music we hear today. :D
