    These are the movies that send me running to the theaters. With that said I hope there is historical accuracy that comes along with it. Like for instance, Joseph Bologne was already a legit accomplished musician before Mozart came along. Bologne helped create a whole genre "Sinfonia Concertante". Not to mention guess who sampled who...? Still excited for this release!

      The Owner of the Fencing Club (We teach traditional, not sport fencing.) I'm a part of showed me this film.- We have a picture of St George, Alexandre Dumas, and Henry Angelo on our wall of champions. Most people have no idea who they are, Which usually leads me to a lengthy explanation of who they were, and were some of the best Swordsmen in the world at that time despite the adversity they faced.
      There is another movie about St.George Le Mozart noir (TV Movie 2003) - I have yet to see it as well. I don't want to sully my expectations of it.

    I wonder if Alexandre Dumas's father (who was a general during the French Revolution) is going to appear in this movie. He was also the mixed-race son of a nobleman who came to France at a young age. Thomas-Alexandre Dumas actually trained under Joseph Bologne at the fencing academy.

      Guadeloupe's Blacks did their best to resist the invaders under a battle cry of "Live Free or Die!'; and from that brave effort came two tragic- heroic stories; I made videos about them too. The 'Mulaltresse Solitude', and the story of the explosive last stand at the Anglemont Plantation.

    Joseph Bologne Chevalier de Saint Georges was a master of the sword, the bow, and the baton! He was also an amazing composer who influenced the teenaged Mozart and performed his music for the King and Queen of France. I am working on getting the funding so that my Four Seasons Orchestra of Arizona can perform some of Bologne's violin concertos, symphonic works, and operatic arias. Donations to our nonprofit are always welcome. I will be first in line to see Chevalier. I put his biography into my book Fifty Famous Composers For Kids Of All Ages!

They've been available to listen to on UA-cam forever, and he's a name familiar to plenty of classical fans ALREADY. Mozart composed works as a child BEFORE and then long AFTER those 2.5 months he lived near Chevalier, his style changing radically from one period to the next, AND had been influenced in turn by composers decades and centuries before HIM: it's not like when White America acted like Elvis Presley "invented" Rock and Roll by slapping a coat of White skin, er, "paint" on it. Yeah, patterns exist (again, the White appropriation of Rock and Roll in America) but just because one exists doesn't mean every dot you see connects back to the same line, as it were.

    This guy was great at everything. He also taught France's General Thomas-Alexander Dumas, (the father of the famous author Alexander Dumas) how to use the sword. There needs to be a movie about Thomas Alexander Dumas also. His story is almost as great & sad as The Chevalier. Napoleon's jealousy of his size, strength & fighting ability got him thrown in a dungeon that eventually broke & killed him. Most of Alexander Dumas' books like the Three Musketeers & The Count of Monte Cristo were likely inspired by his father's life stories. The Chevalier was so much more than a great violinist. They left his entire military career out of this movie. He lead & taught the Legion Noire (The Black Legion), the best swordsmen in the French military, who all were Black men, how to fight. (I'd bet that the Three Musketeers story by Alexander Dumas was inspired by the Black Legion, since his father was also in that military unit at one point in his career).

      @SabatSch95 Рік тому

      "Hidden Figures" is pure race-baiting propaganda. They quite literally took what a white man accomplished & made it seem like the three black women did it all... it's funny how you people talk about "untold" stories, and then praise stories that untell the truth in favor of some foolish race-pandering nonsense. Never mind the fact that the three black women quite LITERALLY stated that they never felt "held back" or that "racism" was a major factor, as they said "no one had time for that", yet the movie acts like they were being brutally held back every second of their lives. Such a joke.
      You cannot complain about "untold" stories when these "stories" were very much TOLD. Joseph's music is quite literally all over this site with MILLIONS of views. His "story" is very much known among the classical music world.
      Have you ever heard of Rachmaninnoff? Of course not, doesn't mean his story is "untold", it just means that a person who doesn't care for classical music isn't aware of everything that happened. Does that justify me making some deluded narrative about how Rach was "forgotten" because he was a white man? Do you see how foolish that sounds?
      As for this movie, it's bordering on complete fiction. Yes he was what could be considered a "prodigy". No, he did not humiliate Mozart & was not even REMOTELY on Mozart's level. What a joke. Not to mention he didn't shape France's literal history as this trailer clearly suggests.
      I swear, the desperation of black ppl to cling unto fake history for the sake of their own fragile ego is truly pathetic. Take pride in your humanity. If you really want to take pride in your racial history, then take pride in what ACTUALLY happened. Instead of.... this nonsense.

I understand creative license needs to be taken for such a film, but when it's embellished in the face of actual facts it destroys the whole "based on a true story" appeal. I really hope they don't dumb down this film and botch it. I'm hoping for the best.

      Poor poor Empress' daughter . She had more courage and sense than the men around her. Is this yet another saying that she never really said. Her era believed in Divine Right of Kings so it's really a throwaway statement . Mozart as we all know will never be toppled . It takes a lot of Hadyn listening before you find just one keyboard concerto out of 11 that you can listen to and out of 107 symphonies luckily there is always a treat in one of the hundreds of movements. Recently fell in lovewith the earliest ones. JohannChristian Bach really deserves his place with Hadyn .!

    So I actually saw a brief documentary on this hidden figure a day ago on another channel and became enthralled with the story as it much resonated with my history as a Haitian American. In my Journey of trying to find out more about my culture; I learned long ago that the people of Haiti were the first to free themselves from French colonial tyranny. (Although it hasn't seem to benefit them much with France forcing them to pay back financially what they had lost as a the result of this revolution) These actions have definitely driven me to find more stories of others that have pushed against the mold.
    I'd encourage anyone interested in this trailer to actually look into the life of Joseph Bologne before indulging in the Hollywood version of his story. As you might find it a more inspiring tale then that of a two hour long cinematic. I'm sure Steven Williams did it justice in directing, and was sure to tell the story as closely to the truth as he could, so I take nothing away from what will be presented as I have yet to see the film.
    I only endeavor to encourage all those who have lost their history to the woe's of time to be more diligent in finding and learning of the stories of all those who came before us. Since your probably one of those given you landed on this video and have read this far. Here is a good place to start.

    Corrections to peoples’ comments on “Black Mozart” history:
    1] Chevalier was Mixed, White French father [Rich, Intelligent and with connections] and a Senegalese black mother, so it is erroneous to say “black” when he was mixed. The vast majority of his life was brought up in a white society.
    2] Chevalier did not influence a “teenage” Mozart in Paris. Mozart was 22 when they first encountered - which was very brief and nothing like people are trying to sensationalize it to be.
    3] Mozart was the acclaimed prodigy at age 6. We are so fixated on race here that people then try to take jabs at each other saying Mozart was jealous or a copycat?! Mozart found French lifestyle and composers to be disreputable so that’s all you need to know about how his visit went.
    4] The queries and historical accounts of events surrounding Chevalier’s life aren’t all too clear either. Like “St. George’s Assault,” which has too many differing accounts on the night that it seems unlikely to believe any, maybe a Jussie Smollett ancestor 😂.
    5] this movie will taper to race related issues of our day and not that of Chevalier’s time. It’ll appear as Le Jim Crown Laws here but in essence he had all the rights of a free man to gain acclaim as a composer and with aristocrats.

      Saying it's erroneous to call someone of mixed race "black" is absurd, if they're perceived as black and treated and ostracized in the same or similar ways as a black person who isn't mixed, the result is the same. That's like saying it's erroneous to call Obama the first black president. Like my guy, look at him.

Seeing an actor play a virtuoso and sliding the bow all over the strings like the instrument is a toy does not lend authenticity to the character, and in my opinion detracts from Chevalier’s actual talent. An actor could have been better trained in this area. If there was a hurry to get the film made, at least that element should have been handled with the best care possible since that is what the film is primarily about. As much as I want to see it and have been waiting for Joseph Boulogne’s story to brought to the screen, I don’t want to sit there and cringe every time there is a scene where he takes out his violin.
