I should really watch the movie in whole.
Yea, its so sad that he died young. Today we have idiots getting health care and stuff and poor Beethoven's health started going down in his 20's, oh well. Hopefully we'll see more musical geniuses be born in the future.

Actually saw it...and found it sad...no the apt word that would describe his life is achingly sad.....eventhough some people have said that the Mozart's life story portrayed in the movie Amadeus was better directed...and I agree up to a point...yet, I find Beethoven's story more complex and interesting...and sad of course...

maybe I'll watch it again and then we'll be the only ones to have seen it and thus be able to discuss it.... :P

I've seen parts of it but not the whole movie which probably leaves me in the same place as you. I think I'm gonna rent it and see it soon.
