what people are saying

I just finished watching the movie "Copying Beethoven". I did not have the opportunity to watch it when it first came out in 2006, but now I'm watching it on a satellite TV channel and I am enjoying the astonishing music that this genius created, as well as the first-class acting of Ed Harris and Dianne Kruger. One critic on the Rotten Tomatoes Website said: "It's not just that the movie plays fast and loose with his biography, inserting a nonexistent soul mate into his last, lonely days ... it reduces Beethoven to a moldy cliché." I respectfully disagree. To me, adding Anna Holtz to the fantastic life of Sir Ludwig Van Beethoven is like exploring what the feminine artistic side of this amazing musical genius could have been. And why not to explore those possibilities, after all, music has its special universe that exists in each one's mind and soul, and this musical universe my friends is so vast and complex that has not yet being completely explored nor conquered, and that is the reason why I am enjoying this movie so much.
