Adrian's emotional coldness and intellectual sterility leads him to take drastic measures. However, he lacks the inspiration to do so. His pride and narcissism demand he create great music that has never been heard before. In fact, he isolates himself for the sake of his art.
After all, the composer does not participate or even care about politics. At first glance, one might see little connection to the story of Leverkühn and the fate of the German nation.
Not the music of Beethoven, but 12 tone music based on mathematical permutations, which is aesthetically beautiful, but emotional cold. When he grows up he decides to study theology, but abandons theology associated with humanism to study music. This opening line is the metaphor for a story that relates the life of Leverkuhn with the rise of Nazism and Barbarism. "So Hell will be synonymous with the here and now of our present", the narrator Zeitblom tells us while he is huddled as bombs are falling from the sky during WW2. It is not a horror film in the tradition sense. The film is an abridged version of the novel.
