Beethoven forgery:"Love for Beethoven" heavy scene cut released "Schindler"Yuki Yamada appeals

Stills from the film "Beethoven Fabrication" (directed by Seki Kazuaki, to be released on September 12th), written by comedian Bakarhythm and starring actor Yuki Yamada and co-starring Furuta Arata, have recently been released.

The film is based on Shiho Kagehara's historical non-fiction book "Beethoven Fabrication: A Famous Producer Lies" (Kawade Bunko). The story revolves around the scandal of Schindler, Beethoven's secretary and posthumous biography writer, who significantly altered the phrasebook used by Beethoven after he lost his hearing. Yamada plays Schindler, a faithful secretary who is driven by a sense of duty to protect his idol, Furuta, after his death, and struggles to turn him from a "vulgar, dirty old man (truth)" into a "sacred, genius musician (lie)."

The released stills show Schindler, played by Yamada, a man whose love for his master has become complicated. From the scene where Schindler has his beloved Beethoven's arm around his shoulders and shows a determined expression, to the scene where he watches Beethoven conduct despite his deafness, to the scene where he opens the phrasebook he used to talk to Beethoven and desperately appeals to him, the scenes convey Schindler's character.
