Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAt one point in the film, an angry Christoph is told that Ludwig van Beethoven is working on his Ninth Symphony. He retorts by saying that he hopes it is Beethoven's last. It was. The 9th symphony was finished in 1824, and he died three years later without writing another one.
- Quotes
Christoph: Why does he have to write another Symphony? He's already made a Fourth, a Fifth, a Sixth, a Seventh, and an Eighth!
Uncle Kurt: And this one will be his Ninth.
Christoph: I hope it's his last!
Featured review
Superb Movie
There is none of the sentimental and heroic garbage in this movie that one sees portrayed in the lives of other great men.
This movie, while recognizing Beethoven's Genius, takes him off his Mount Olympus Pedestal and makes him a real life breathing, seeing and hearing though going deaf man who runs a business, works every day, bathes, shaves and does all the things that ordinary men do. Munroe is very convincing in his portrayal as well as his appearance. I do not know what he looks like in real life but if he looks anything like Beethoven in real life I would think that I had met Beethoven's Ghost. While the viewing audience for this film is aimed for children--it is also a good film for adults to see.
