Ludwig van Beethoven was, and remains today, an
Olympian figure in the history of classical music.

followed the Romantic era as well. Perhaps no
other composer in history wrote music of such
exhilarating power and expressiveness; certainly
no other composer did so against greater odds.

plenty of car chases, but they are filmed in such
a manner that it is hard to tell whats going on.
The camera swerves back and forth and the scene
drowns into a blur. Rarely do we get a steady
camera shot that lets us perceive the situation.
