贝多芬

看完了《莫扎特传》非常受用，便对另一巨匠贝多芬颇为期待。这部名为《Immortal Beloved》的电影，以历史上贝多芬留下的三封匿名情书为线索，以爱情为主线，同样通过侧面描写来拍一部贝多芬的传记片。

在我看来，本片的主要任务自然是串联贝多芬的音乐。用贝多芬的音乐来做电影配乐，编排上要比莫扎特容易，因为贝多芬的音乐和他本人都更加情绪化和富有戏剧性。如果说天才的莫扎特是上帝附身，奏出的是无尽的灿烂和灵动，那么贝多芬就是充满激情的狂热诗人，他的音乐包含了人间最浓烈的情绪。我听到了“命运”、“悲怆”、“月光”、“英雄”等等，钢琴由当代最著名演奏家Murray Perahia演奏，管弦乐则是伦敦交响乐团。这些音乐表达的情绪是如此的深入肺腑，正如贝多芬在片中说的：“音乐的力量是将人直接引导进入作曲家的精神世界，听者如受催眠，别无选择。”不得不说所配的画面与情节也是相当贴切。尤其是高潮的欢乐颂那一段，堪称用画面表达音乐的经典。

贝多芬的饰演者是加里·奥德曼，在1994年同年，他刚刚在《这个杀手不太冷》里演了个热爱贝多芬的变态Boss，不得不说现实也如此深富戏剧性。毕竟外貌差别，在片头我觉得他不像贝多芬，但随着音乐和电影都渐入佳境，又觉得他来演贝多芬是正合适。历史上的贝多芬不是个厚道的人，曾把抚养的侄子逼得自杀。加里不仅把贝多芬耳聋的狂躁与恐怖的脾气展现的淋漓尽致，更把他的神经质拿捏得恰到好处，还有最难得的，我感受到了贝多芬无上的骄傲。那段耳朵贴着钢琴弹奏的“月光”，那落座的姿势，那双脚分开的角度，弹奏的力度，贴耳倾听的神态，这真的是贝多芬。

《莫扎特传》的剧情始终围绕着莫扎特的绝世天才，这一中心思想与音乐高度统一，因而取得的很好的效果。而《Immortal Beloved》虽然无疑出色的完成了呈现贝多芬音乐的任务，但剧情的重心确是爱情，而且是一个非常好莱坞的爱情故事，故事的关键点还十分狗血。而贝多芬的音乐所表达的远远仅非爱情。因此本片虽然音画配合十分精彩，但主线剧情却担负不起这样辉煌的配乐，是为最大的遗憾。如果能让我们看到一个更加完整的和命运抗争的故事，相信效果会更好。

看到片中人们涌向剧院欣赏伟大音乐家亲自指挥最新作品，深羡那真是个美好的年代。我只能在三年前游维也纳的时候，特意拜访音乐家们的长眠之地。200多年过去了，贝多芬一直在莫扎特的正对面。

一份阴差阳错的遗憾，引起重重矛盾、不理解、憎恨，让一个人在痛苦中煎熬一生，却也同时成就了一代大师，并且，经历了这种种的爱，才练就了不朽，而这爱中的人，也随之成为永恒。

传记伟大人物本身和主演加叔的表演都是无论比的。但是好莱坞为了电影所谓”不朽性“，严重胡编乱造竟然编出”贝多芬与乔安娜 “的不朽之恋，去死，没有这样亵渎伟人的。我希望:有一个好的团队，真心为完完全全属于贝多芬的传记电影的出现，成为不朽。期待着。。。
与诸多的名人一样，贝多芬也留下了许许多多的迷团，不过这部电影提出的假设似乎太狗血太八卦太......知音了一点。不过有加里.奥德曼的精彩表演和至始至中贯穿其中的不朽经典交响乐为电影增加了可观赏性。全片对于《欢乐颂》的处理极为精彩。

他获得寂寞。
因为他坚持自我。

《不朽真情》。
也是天才音乐家贝多芬传记。
开幕就是葬礼。盛大。沉重。灰色。
而他死了。留下的遗书却揭示了一段神秘的关系。故事由此展开。
比想象中精彩很多。
镜头里。
他低头测试钢琴的俯身动作。叫人恻隐。
音乐优美动人到极限。
然而他是聋的。
宿命的悲哀挥之不去。

唯一爱过的。是她。只有她。
一直爱所以恨因而怨。
头发已全白。
情节拉到最高潮。
当年她等他。
他却被雨夜耽搁。
他匆匆赶来。她已离去。
无情岔开的爱情。被时间左右。被命运玩弄。
那首为她而谱的曲。是灼热的焦苦之声。

最后的最后。
那封以遗书形式所留下来的情书才被缓缓读出。

I can live only completely with you or not at all。
Yes，it must be。
You're my life。my everything。
Go on loving me。
Ever yours。ever mine。forever。

太过深情。

所以成就了最最悲惨的戏剧。

今晚看了1994年的电影Immortal Beloved. 电影的故事由贝多芬去世后留下的收信人是“不朽的情人”的情书展开。

看完电影后的唯一的感受是: 岁月流逝, 唯有艺术和爱情永存!

多年前看过罗曼罗兰的《贝多芬传》, 依稀还记得书的结尾: 一个不幸的人，贫穷，残疾，孤独，由痛苦造成的人，世界不给他欢乐，他却创造了欢乐来给予世界！他用他的苦难来铸成欢乐，好似他用那句豪语来说明的，——那是可以总结他一生，可以成为一切英勇心灵的箴言的： “用痛苦换来的欢乐”

The Origin of the Letters
July 6, in the morning
My angel, my all, my very self - Only a few words today and at that with pencil (with yours) - Not till tomorrow will my lodgings be definitely determined upon - what a useless waste of time - Why this deep sorrow when necessity speaks - can our love endure except through sacrifices, through not demanding everything from one another; can you change the fact that you are not wholly mine, I not wholly thine - Oh God, look out into the beauties of nature and comfort your heart with that which must be - Love demands everything and that very justly - thus it is to me with you, and you with me. But you forget so easily that I must live for me and for you; if we were wholly united you would feel the pain of it as little as I - My journey was a fearful one: I did not reach here until 4 o'clock yesterday morning. Lacking horses the postcoach chose another route, but what an awful one; at the stage before the last I was warned not to travel at night; I was made fearful of the forest, but that only made me the more eager - and I was wrong. The coach must needs break down on the wretched road, a bottomless mud road. Without such postilions as I had with me I should have remained stuck in the road. Esterhazy, traveling the usual road here, had the same fate with eight horses that I had with four - yet I got some pleasure out of it, as I always do when I successfully overcome difficulties - Now a quick change to things internal from things external. We shall surely see each other soon; moreover, today I cannot share with you the thoughts I have had during these last few days touching my own life - If our hearts were always close together, I would have none of these. My heart is full of so many things to say to you - ah - there are moments when I feel that speech amounts to nothing at all - Cheer up - remain my true, my only treasure, my all as I am yours. The gods must send us the rest, what for us must and shall be-
Your faithful Ludwig

Evening, Monday, July 6
You are suffering, my dearest creature - only now have I learned that letters must be posted very early in the morning on Mondays - Thursdays - the only day on which the mail-coach goes from here to K. - You are suffering - Ah, wherever I am, you are with me - I will arrange it with you and me that I can live with you. What a life!!!! thus!!!! without you - pursued by the goodness of mankind hither and thither - which I as little want to deserve as I deserve it - Humility of man towards man - it pains me - and when I consider myself in relation to the universe, what am I and what is He - whom we call the greatest - and yet - herein lies the divine in man - I weep when I reflect that you will probably not receive the first report from me until Saturday - Much as you love me - I love you more - But do not ever conceal yourself from me - good night - As I am taking the baths I must go to bed - Oh God - so near! so far! Is not our love truly a heavenly structure, and also as firm as the vault of Heaven? -

Good morning, on July 7
Though still in bed, my thoughts go out to you, my Immortal Beloved, not and then joyfully, then sadly, waiting to learn whether or not fate will hear us - I can only live wholly with you or not at all - Yes, I am resolved to wander so long away from you until I can fly to your arms and say that I am really at home with you, and can send my soul enwrapped in you into the lands of spirits - Yes unhappily it must be so - You will be the more contained since you know my fidelity to you. No one else can ever possess my heart - never - never - Oh God, why must one be parted from one whom one so loves. And yet my life in V[ienna] is now a wretched life - Your love makes me at once the happiest and the unhappiest of men - at my age I need a steady, quiet life - can that be so in out connection? My angel, I have just been told that the mailcoach goes everyday - therefore I must close at once so that you may receive the l[etter] at once. - Be calm, only by a calm consideration of our existence can we achieve out purpose to live together - Be calm - love me - today - yesterday - what tearful longings for you - you - you - my life - my all - farewell. -Oh continue to love me - never misjudge the most faithful heart of you beloved.

ever thine
ever mine L.
ever ours
