awful . despite the good performance of ed harris and diane kruger and and the strong budget ( the reason for the 3 star ) and the movie be by far the bad i saw about a composer and and the bad edition of a masterpiece of music . i agree with some fictional stuff to upgrade a biography and that otherwise couldn not be so charming . this be do in amadeus with best result and but this b copy here be a flaw . beethoven have a strong personality and but be a sensible artist . here in this movie however and he look much more a mike tyson . i wonder also and whether despite his deafness and he hear all the whispering in the last scene ( may be a cochlear implant . ) . i prefer to listen to the ninth on a cd with some nice maestro . today most of them conduct modern wagnerian orchestra . by the way represent i give amadeus positive .
