Agreed, love interests in movies are so formulaic and unnecessary. I heard that girls like that crap though.

The reason “Amadeus” works so amazingly well, is because the story is not about Mozart, but actually about a lot of other stuff that everybody can relate to. Alot of biopics (ie. Gandhi) tend to overdo the biography and forget the emotion, and they become not only tedious but insignificant.

This movie seems to be in the middle somewhere, focusing only on his last year. It seems to have a love story though which is ridiculous. I think Beethoven is worthy of a movie that does not need the clutch of love story clichés to be interesting. Would anybody in the world go and see a movie like this because of the love story? I have a hard time believing it.

Another thing – with “Amadeus” they were absolutely adament not to change a single note of Mozart’s music, which I think is fair enough, but in this trailer they are already shortening the ending of the 9th…

Ed Harris didn’t convince me – you think a wig is transformation? I thought he looked just like Ed Harris, which is not a problem, except his voice is too familiar for me. I keep hearing General Hummel from The Rock.

Another thing that worried me personally is that when I heard the 9th I immediately went to “I was cured all right”.

This might be horrible. The love story aspect really annoys me, even if it is just going to underplayed sexual tension or whatever. Get rid of the bullshit stereotypical women in our movies. If you absolutely need a woman in a script, give her a purpose other than to have sex and fall in love with. Imagine if this had been a male student? All of a sudden it’s a much better movie.
