《姆斯蒂斯拉夫﹒罗斯特罗波维奇：不屈的琴弓》（Mstislav Rostropovich：The Indomitable Bow）是由法国音乐家兼制片人布鲁诺﹒蒙辛容（Bruno Monsaingeon）导演，由法国，德国，俄罗斯，美国在2018年共同协作完成的， 记录20世纪最伟大的音乐家之一的姆斯蒂斯拉夫﹒罗斯特罗波维奇（1927 - 2007）的一部纪录片。

如果你是一位音乐爱好者，特别是一位弦乐爱好者，这部电影毫无疑问是你最珍贵的礼物。如果你对音乐只是泛泛地喜欢，但你对人类的精神世界有强烈的兴趣，这部电影同样会使你受益。

我们都知道，十八世纪有个小提琴之神尼科罗﹒帕格尼尼（1782 - 1840），因为隔着难于穿透的历史之墙，我们只能从文献中知道他和感受他。罗斯特罗波维奇可以称为人类至今的大提琴之神（“我想可能是因为见到他的缘故，我开始相信神。” ―― 指挥家小泽征尔语），我们却和他呼吸过同一个世界的空气， 而且现代媒体使我们能够近距离地接触这位伟大的人物，就像这部电影所做的。

他的价值已超过了演奏大提琴，音乐指挥的范围，他的才能，品格，经历，使人们从更高的层次来看待他，欣赏他。

罗斯特罗波维奇是在社会主义的苏联出生长大，他怎么会得到全世界的爱戴呢？

他说：“当我在莫斯科音乐学院学习时，他们教我马列主义，里面说灵魂是不存在的，只有物质世界。但物质注定消亡，被人类的才华创造的东西，却会保留下来。我不明白，贝多芬，莫扎特，巴赫都死了，但我心中他们都还活着， 只是换了一种形式。”

以下是这部电影的链接。1小时20分钟左右的精神旅游，一定不虚此行。

“Mstislav Rostropovich: The Indomitable Bow” was directed by French musician and producer Bruno Monsaingeon , and jointly completed by France, Germany, Russia, and the United States in 2018. This documentary records the life Mstislav Rostropovich (1927 – 2007), one of the greatest musicians of the 20th century.

If you are a music lover, especially a string lover, this movie is undoubtedly your most precious gift. If you have only a general liking for music, but you have a strong interest in the human spirit, this movie will also benefit you.

We all know that in the eighteenth century there was a god of violin, Niccolo Paganini (1782-1840), because of the impenetrable wall of history, we can only know him and feel him from literature. Rostropovich can be called the god of cello in the human history until now ("I think maybe because I saw him, I began to believe in God." ― Conductor Seiji Ozawa), but we breathed with him the air of the same world, and modern media allow us to get up close and personal with this great man, as this film does.

His value has surpassed the scope of playing cello and conducting music. His talent, character and experience make people see and appreciate him from a higher level.

Born and raised in the socialist Soviet Union, how did Rostropovich endear himself to the world?

He said: "When I was studying at the Moscow Conservatory, they taught me Marxism-Leninism, which said that the soul does not exist, there is only the material world. But matter is doomed to perish, and what is created by human talent will remain. I don’t understand, Beethoven, Mozart, and Bach are all dead, but in my heart they are still alive, just in different forms.” Below is the link to the movie. About 1 hour and 20 minutes of spiritual tourism must be a worthwhile trip.
