How does Beethoven do this? (See details)

At the end of tonight’s Oscars, they ran a sound clip form Best Movie The King’s Speech while they flashed a montage of the ten nominated movies on the screen. The music, from the 2nd Movement of Beethoven’s 7th Symphony had me weeping like a baby. It is so powerful and soaring. I am old enough now to hear what the composer is saying.

How does Beethoven reach out from 1815, take control of an orchestra today, and grab hold of my heart like it’s a raggedy ann doll? Does it affect everyone, or am I just so old and grizzled by life’s experiences so that I now hear what his music is saying?

Anyway, if Hollywood needs an old wizened looking guy who can honestly bawl like a baby, not hide his face in his hands and do a laugh/cry sound, but really tear up and cry openly, facing the camera; just put one of those tiny speakers in my ear and play the right piece of music. I can even tell the director what piece of music for a specific emotional outburst. What’s my chances at 67?
