Copying Beethoven
Diane Kruger: Copying Beethoven
Cast: Diane Kruger, Ed Harris, Matthew Goode, Phyllida Law, Ralph Riach
Classical
music aficionado or no, it's tough not to be moved by the soaring notes
of Ludwig van Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. The work stands as both a
defining highpoint in the composer's career and a dynamic and beguiling
legacy of its era. An imaginative exploration of Beethoven's life in his
final days working on the Ninth, Copying Beethoven draws inspiration
from the music itself. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Agnieszka
Holland, the film is both thrilling and romantic.
It is 1824. The composer, played brilliantly by Ed Harris, is racing
to finish his new symphony. However, it has been years since his last
success and he is plagued by deafness, loneliness and personal trauma. A
copyist is urgently needed to help the composer finish in time for the
scheduled first performance - otherwise the orchestra will have no music
to play. Insightful young conservatory student and aspiring composer
Anna Holtz (Diane Kruger) is recommended for the position. The mercurial
Beethoven is skeptical that a woman might become involved in his
masterpiece but slowly comes to trust in Anna's assistance and in the
end becomes quite fond of her.
By the time the
piece is performed - a moment in history captured in an exquisitely
moving shot from Anna's perspective, as she sits on the orchestra floor
helping the deaf Beethoven to keep time - her presence in his life is an
absolute necessity. Her deep understanding of his work is such that she
even corrects mistakes he has made, while her passionate personality
opens a door into his proud, private world.
Harris is no stranger to bringing iconic, larger-than-life figures to
the screen; his lead performance in Pollock was a masterful exploration
of a tormented but talented artist. He channels a similar esprit here:
his Beethoven is ribald and volatile, vulnerable and, ultimately,
endearing. He is matched in intensity and skill by Kruger, who makes the
young Anna both an enraptured apprentice and a paragon of willful
female independence and ambition. These two characters break down
barrier after barrier, and the result is a harmonious wonder

momentous event will turn the destinies of four characters: an Anglican

A
secret from our nation's past will lead to the greatest adventure in
history. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Jon Turteltaub team up
to bring you National Treasure. Academy Award®-winner Nicolas Cage stars
as the brilliant Benjamin Franklin Gates, third generation treasure
hunter. All his life, Gates has been searching for a treasure no one
believed existed: amassed through the ages, moved across continents, to
become the greatest treasure the world has ever known. Hidden by our
Founding Fathers, they left clues to the Treasure's location right
before our eyes … from our nation's birthplace, to the nation's capitol,
to clues buried within the symbols on the dollar bill. Gates' life-long
journey leads him to the last place anyone thought to look: a map
hidden on the back of the Declaration of Independence. But what he
thought was the final clue is only the beginning. Gates realizes in
order to protect the world's greatest treasure, he must now do the
unthinkable: steal the most revered, best guarded document in American
history before it falls into the wrong hands. In a race against time,
Gates must elude the authorities, stay one step ahead of his ruthless
adversary (Sean Bean), decipher the remaining clues and unlock the 2000
year-old mystery behind our greatest national treasure.

"The script was very explicit about the nudity that was supposed to be
in the movie. Actually, they don't show everything we shot. They would
cut here and it was floored. It was very embarrassing..."

Troy
Cast:
Brad Pitt, Eric Bana, Orlando Bloom, Sean Bean, Diane Kruger, Peter
O'Toole, Brendan Gleeson, Rose Byrne, Brian Cox, Julie Christie, Saffron
Burrows, Garrett Hedlund
Homer's
sprawling tale of love and war in ancient Greece comes to the screen in
all its grandeur in this epic-scale adventure. In 1193 B.C., Paris,
Prince of Troy (Orlando Bloom), has fallen in love; however, the
beautiful woman who has beguiled him is Helen, Queen of Sparta (Diane
Kruger), who is wed to King Menelaus (Brendan Gleeson). While Helen is
hardly immune to Paris' charms, this doesn't blunt Menelaus' fury when
Paris steals her away from him. Menelaus' brother Agamemnon (Brian Cox),
the power-hungry king of the Mycenaeans, is eager to expand his empire
through Troy to the lands of the Aegean Sea, and he uses Paris' romantic
slight against Menelaus as an excuse to wage an all-out war against the
great walled city.
Priam, King of Troy
(Peter O'Toole), summons his armies, led by Prince Hector (Eric Bana),
to meet the onslaught of Agamemnon's forces, but while the great city
has yet to yield in a battle, Agamemnon has a formidable ally --
Achilles (Brad Pitt), a mighty and seemingly unstoppable warrior whose
presence could tip the scales in Agamemnon's favor. Sean Bean, Julie
Christie, Saffron Burrows, and Rose Byrne highlight the film's
supporting cast.
