Immortal Beloved: Film Analysis
Immortal Beloved, directed by Bernard Rose, shows the life of famous composer Ludwig van Beethoven. In this film we see Beethoven's struggle with his hearing loss and what occurs after Beethoven's death in 1827. After Beethoven's death his assistant, Schindler, tries to find the woman Beethoven referenced in his love letters as “Immortal Beloved”. During Schindler's journey to find this woman the viewer sees flash backs that show Beethoven's transformation from a inspired young musician to a troubled musician. But not everything in this movie is accurate when it comes to representing the actual life of Ludwig van Beethoven.

    The Eroica movie describes Beethoven as an easily riled person who considers himself equal to the nobility of Austria and Hungary. It gives no hints of mental disorders or long periods of internal emotional conflict, beyond his amorous designs for the Countess. Solomon’s account provides more detail. At the Lobkowitz’s palace, the movie presents Count Dietrichstein as a reactionary naysayer, a pompous noble, who lacks an appreciation for Beethoven’s genius . However, Dietrichstein’s view is consistent with the standards of music that were widely held at the time. Looking back, it’s easy to judge someone for not recognizing a musical genius; however, no modern analyst spent their life inside the musical ecosystem of the eighteenth century.…

    In the movie Unbroken directed by Angelina Jolie, there are many obvious differences from the actual factual events that took place. A lot of important details about Louis Zamperini’s life were left out in the movie. There are many reasons for this, which are arguably very important. The three biggest things that were left out of the movie are, the realization that Louis came to about his faith in God, Japanese guards actually treated Louis very well when he first was captured, and Louis actually came face to face with Adolf Hitler. All three of these things were left out of the movie for specific reasons, which Hollywood thought would boost ratings and amount of viewers.…

    Miss Evers was truly acting in the best interest of her patients. She truly cared about them and when times became tough, she stood by their side through the entire study. In the movie, she believed that she honored her oath and gave them all she had. Miss Evers should first do no harm. After she found out about the withheld treatment, she continued to follow through with the study; even though she knew Syphilis would kill her patients and that Penicillin could treat their illness. I believe she advocated for the patients when she found out about the Penicillin, but the doctor whom she trusted felt the study was necessary for the greater good to prove it’s not an African American disease. I felt like he made her feel guilty, because he knew…

    The film opens with a close up shot of Alex dressed in white with gray suspenders showcasing his false eyelashes on his right eye and with the brim of his pork pie hat tilted slightly downward. His ominous blue eyes peering right through you as if you did not even exist. Slowly the camera pulls back as Alex takes a sip of drug laced milk revealing the type of company he keeps. His “droogs” as Alex called them were seated next to him on a bench in the Korova Milk Bar. The Korova Milk Bar was decorated with nude figures of women posed as if they had fallen backwards and they attempted to catch themselves by putting their arms behind them. The flats of their stomachs doubled as a table where glasses of milk could be placed. Other nude statues…

    more about the public image that they worried about. To make profit, the people being put on display have to look attractive enough to guarantee their movie sells. At 13 years old, however, Judy signed over to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer as one of their few child stars and they didn’t know what to do with her. In fact, MGM was in a similar predicament with another child star around Judy’s age, Deanna Durbin, who had an exceptional voice, albeit more operatic. The studio even filmed the two girls in the musical short titled Every Sunday in 1936 as a “screen test” to help decide which one of the girls they wanted to keep by comparing their voices side by side to an audience (Clarke, 73). According to Judy in a Jack Parr interview, they were…

    In 1997, the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress selected the movie, “Harold and Maude “by Hal Ashby, 1971, for preservation for being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.”1 This movie was dealt with black comedy and, at the same time, romance that leaves uncertainties in the ending which was significant at that time because it was unusual for Hollywood films making vague endings where the viewers expected solid happy endings or has clear noticeable thriller at the end. Not surprisingly, the last scene from the movie, where, the protagonist, Harold, throws himself off the cliff and weirdly comes out alive and dissolves into the plains while playing the guitar, sure left uncertainties and made many viewers argue about the endings. Many read the end as Harold throwing all of his old ways and embracing life, while others see it as Harold finally giving in to his mock suicides and killing himself for real. Similarly, answering a question, if Harold ruined the peacefulness of Maude’s suicide or made it more meaningful, is also very controversial and debatable. However, if we consider the facts that Maude mentioned she is always looking for new experience in life, said it has been all such fun when she was about to close her eyes, and the aspects of existentialism that she showed throughout the movie, it is conclusive that Harold did not ruin the peacefulness of her suicide and it is rather he made it more meaningful.…
