Four years ago today - Matthew Goode did this. We were locked down and he recorded this on his phone in his garden - and it could not have been more perfect.

One of my all time favourite 'looks'. Loved the Tom Ford suit and crisp, white, unbuttoned, shirt.

Eyes like precious gemstones 💎💚 and always making time for his fans.

Yet another thing I found when looking for something else entirely. Made me giggle all over again

Bring. It.

And if I wrote a fic about Kristof Lazar falling for a prima ballerina..

Hackett SS24 campaign with Matthew Goode - Part 4 GIFs

I worship at the altar of Hackett, firstly for casting Matthew in their campaigns, and secondly for putting him in this glorious dark blue shirt, just stupendous. And I love the broody looks.

Found this when I was looking for something else. Matthew Goode on the set of Copying Beethoven

@matthewsblue - my Copying Beethoven review as promised. x

Goode Rewatch - Week 11 - Copying Beethoven - 2006

I do try to be positive on here about any project that Matthew Goode involves himself with…. however…. for me this movie didn’t work.   I know some people love it so I might be missing something.   As a result I’ve only watched it once before and then didn’t bother watching it again until now.   I still have deep reservations about the movie but I’m glad I rewatched coz Matthew Goode is so goode in this and I’d kind of dismissed his performance before coz I didn’t like the movie. So - sorry Matthew - you did goode!   

Copying Beethoven is a fictionalised drama about the last year of Beethoven’s (Ed Harris) life. Anna Holz (a fictional character played by Diane Kruger) starts to work for Beethoven on the score of his Ninth Symphony as a copyist.  She is excited to work for the maestro because she is also a composer and hopes to get advice on her work.  This is where I start to have a problem with this movie coz Beethoven is an all out nightmare to work with.  He’s inappropriate, bordering on abusive, towards Anna and the whole thing smacks of cohercive control to me.  He’s GROSS.  He strings her along with the promise of listening to her work and when he does he likens it to a fart.  Yep that’s how up himself he is in this script.  Yes he’s got problems - a gambling nephew and obviously he is getting very deaf but dammit there is no excuse to abuse Anna.   

Matthew plays Anna’s fiancee, Martin Bauer.  He is from a wealthy background and embraces the new world of technology.  He is working on a design for a competition to build new bridge across the Danube.  He’s actually a bit of a sweetheart - shimmying up walls of the convent where Anna lives to see her, attending the premiere of the symphony just to be with her and be supportive even tho’ he thinks Beethoven is past it and a hypocrite because he lives off rich peoples cash.  Martin is also not happy with the way Anna is treated. I think  Beethoven is actually childishly jealous that Anna obviously loves Martin. Not because he wants her for himself - but just because he can’t stand that she gives her attention to a human other than him.   After the composer does something unforgivable to Martin, he (Martin) gives Anna an ultimatum “if you ever go near that man again I’ll have nothing more to do with you.”   Beethoven gives his own ultimatum which says it all - “You may leave as you wish but it won’t free you from me.”  Yep - coercive control.  Anna choses to stay in the abusive relationship with Beethoven because he creates the music from god.  FFS.  Bad decision.  Seriously woman have some self respect.   

Anyway - to Matthew’s performance.  There’s something weird going on with all of the Brit actors being directed to use strange transatlantic accents (maybe coz Ed Harris plays Beethoven with an American accent.  Eh?).  Apart from that, Matthew is really goode in his scenes.  His character is funny, a tad frivolous and obviously passionately in love with Anna, and with technology. Matthew really is a highlight in this movie and his character gets a bad rap.  This movie could have been so much better - but sadly - it is what it is.  I probably won’t want to sit through it again but I will whizz through to gaze at Matthew in his scenes coz he really tries his best and I’m glad I watched this again just to appreciate the performance he gives in this movie.   

This is just my opinion - what do other people think about this one?

Swoony Goode kiss from 'Copying Beethoven'

Not my favourite movie of Matthew's but there's some damn fine lip-locking going on in this movie.

Yep. Literally me at this moment ⬆️

Gorgeous. Nice to see him re-united with Stephen as well.

C. S. Lewis is having a deep and serious conversation in the woods with JRR Tolkien about religion.

It's beautifully shot and I love all the shades of green from Matthew's stunning eyes to his clothes to the nature around 💚.

I am still waiting for more people to have seen the film to do more complete edits (gifs, collages, quotes etc). May be after the UK release mid-June. The wait is killing me 😭

Jeez this is way too early. AND - guys - you HAVE to see this on the big screen. So annoying that they do this 🤬

Amazon still have no date and just have it for pre-order.

Studios need to realize this sh*t is not sustainable. This came out April 19th. It is already going to digital.

This could have been a really good word of mouth 2 month run movie. But no, because it didn't do $100M opening weekend the studio system sees it as a flop.

Just passing this request along....

Is there anyone on here that is currently taking headcanon requests for Matthew Clairemont?
