Ludwig van Beethoven fue un compositor, concertista, músico y pianista en su especialidad, director de orquesta y, por supuesto, maestro con un legado musical extenso en el género de piano y música de cámara, no les doy más detalles porque no soy experta en el tema. La película inicia con un niño de 8 años, que le gusta el piano y que presenta habilidades en este instrumento algo que su padre pudo observar y comenzó a compararlo con otro gran músico de época similar el famoso Mozart presionando al niño para que estuviera a la altura de este señor, alcanzo la popularidad en la adolescencia y fue en la edad adulta donde encuentra la fama, pero con muchas deudas que no le permiten disfrutar de una buena fortuna, desde joven fue perdiendo la audición, falleció a una edad que hoy en día se consideraría joven.
Plot
Ludwig van Beethoven was a happy child, with a loving mother, younger siblings and a father who was present only when he was pressured to excel in music, but because he loved music, he was unaffected by the pressure exerted by his father. His father began to have alcohol problems, losing his job, and then decided to support the family on the income from the private party gigs he got for Ludwig, abusing him to the extreme.
As Ludwig grew up, he became extremely perfectionist and ambitious, wanting to achieve what his father longed for: to be on the same level or higher than Mozart, becoming a withdrawn, bitter and somewhat stubborn young man. Accustomed to work, he decided to give lessons to children and young people, and it is there when he fell in love with a young woman of high class, being reciprocated, however, due to his social inequality this love was frustrated, since her family was not willing to allow this link, although he was already making a reputation as a musician, but he lacked the money and the class, due to this failure he became more passionate about the piano trying to forget the sorrows.
From a young age he experienced difficult moments such as the loss of his mother, his father's alcoholism, the responsibility of carrying his siblings and paying his father's debts. He got to know Mozart, but the admiration he felt for him faded as he got to know the person he was and not the musician, the years went by, he grew older and apparently did not fall in love again. In the last stage of his life, he was completely deaf and lived in the house of one of his brothers, causing problems of coexistence due to his arrogant and unbearable character. He was so difficult that he provoked a suicide attempt by his right-hand man, a nephew who accompanied him everywhere he went.
Spanish Version
Ludwig van Beethoven fue un niño feliz, con una madre amorosa, tenía hermanos menores y un padre que estuvo presente solo cuando lo presionaba para resaltar en la música, pero como a él le gustaba este arte, no le afectaba la presión ejercida por su progenitor. Su padre comenzó a tener problemas de alcohol perdiendo su trabajo y entonces decido mantener a la familia a costa de los ingresos obtenidos por los conciertos de fiestas privadas que le conseguía a Ludwig, abusando de forma extrema de este niño.
Al crecer, Ludwig se volvió extremadamente perfeccionista y ambicioso, pues quería lograr lo que su padre añoraba: que estuviera en el mismo nivel o superior al de Mozart, volviéndose un joven encerrado en su mundo, amargado y algo obstinado. Acostumbrado a trabajar decidió dar clases a niños y jóvenes y es allí cuando se enamora de una joven de clase alta, siendo correspondido, sin embargo, debido a su desigualdad social este amor se frustró, ya que la familia de ella no estaba dispuesta a permitir este enlace, aunque él ya se estaba haciendo una reputación como músico, pero le faltaba el dinero y la clase, debido a este fracaso se apasionó más por el piano tratando de olvidar las penas.
Desde joven vivió momentos difíciles como la pérdida de su madre, el alcoholismo de su padre, la responsabilidad de cargar son sus hermanos y pagar las deudas de su padre. Llegó a conocer a Mozart, pero la admiración que sentía por él se desvaneció al conocer la persona que era y no el músico, los años fueron pasando, se hizo mayor y aparentemente no se volvió a enamorar. En la última etapa de su vida estaba completamente sordo y vivía arrimado en la casa de uno de sus hermanos, ocasionando problemas de convivencia por su carácter arrogante e insoportable. Era tan difícil que provocó un intento de suicida a su mano derecha, un sobrino que lo acompañaba para todas partes.
Opinion
The film made me feel sorry for his story, I am not sure that he was a happy person in his maturity according to what I saw, so much effort and dedication did not give him the security and peace he deserved. He will always be remembered for his compositions and symphonies. The whole production was up to standard in costumes, make-up and atmosphere; the main performances were full of passion and intensity. The only negative thing I could mention is that in some scenes the pace was slow, boring me a little.

La película me hizo sentir pena por su historia, no estoy segura de que haya sido una persona feliz en su madurez según lo que vi, tanto esfuerzo y dedicación no le dieron la seguridad y paz que se merecía. Siempre será recordado por sus composiciones y sinfonías. Toda la producción estuvo a la altura tanto en vestuario, maquillaje y ambiente; las actuaciones principales estuvieron llenas de pasión e intensidad. Lo único negativo que pudiera mencionar es que en algunas escenas el ritmo fue lento, aburriéndome un poco.
This movie has been recommended to me a couple of times, I think I'm finally going to see it. What a pity that such incredible beings suffer so much and do not live as they deserve. Greetings
It's the first one I've seen of him, I think they lacked some drama related to his deafness because it must have been terrible to live with that condition being a great musician.
They are still showing it, don't forget to watch it, a big hug. 🤗 @musicandreview
oh wow! I wonder why it didn't really come into my recommendation. I'd love watching this and how his life unfolds. I mean, he is the greatest composer in our lifetime.
😆 yes, and the best of all is that there are also parts where Mozart appears. They were not so many years apart. It was a great time for music.
