Corrected entry: Beethoven is seen removing the dedication to Napoleon from the title page of "Eroica" at the same time as the siege of Vienna. The dedication was removed several years before, when Napoleon declared himself Emperor of France.
Immortal Beloved (1994)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Bernard Rose
Starring: Gary Oldman, Isabella Rossellini, Jeroen Krabbe, Johanna ter Steege
Factual error: Despite all the wonderful period instruments, particularly pianos, in this film, the sound coming out of them is that of a modern grand piano, which sounds nothing like the lighter instruments of the time.
Ludwig van Beethoven: It is the power of music to carry one directly into the mental state of the composer.
Trivia: In his previous film, Leon (The Professional), also released in 1994," Gary Oldman makes several references to Beethoven.
Correction: The filmmakers do not claim this film to be historically accurate. It contains many historical inaccuracies and takes liberties regarding people and events. As such, it comes down to a deliberate directorial decision and artistic license.
