I remember seeing this movie on TV when it came out. Originally it was a made for TV movie. Now Amazon was $20.00 to buy it, and You Tube wants $2.99 to watch it. It should be a PBS mini-series, so much story to tell.
"in 1974 his music won an academy award for The Sting. In 1975 his opera "Treemonisha" premiered on Broadway. In 1976 he was awarded a Pulitzer prize for his music". these are the last lines of the movie, followed by "Scott Joplin died in 1917"
These are all pieces or "Songs" of the video: 0:00: The Entertainer (by Scott Joplin) 0:49: Maple leaf rag (by Scott Joplin) 0:58: Ragtime dance (by Scott Joplin) 1:18: Pineapple rag (by Scott Joplin) 1:23: Elite syncopations (by Scott Joplin) 1:55: Sunflower slow drag (by Scott joplin) 2:04: The Entertainer (by Scott Joplin)
"The girl who loved him even more then his music" - problem with the movie is it only shows his second wife Belle Hayden (sister to his student Scott Hayden, with whom he co-composed four rags). his first wife Frederica died a few weeks after marriage from pneumonia, and his 3rd wife Lottie (who preserved all of his unpublished music after his death, and championed his memory) isnt mentioned at all except for late in the movie when a friend tells Start "he's married again"
I was five when I got a fisher Price record player. I started stealing my sister's soundtrack to the Sting. Ive loved Scott Joplin ever since. He died on my birthday 59 years before I was born.
Berry Gordy was always forward thinking... I am assuming that this movie was his vision... The movie got lackluster reviews but the idea of Joplin was correctly portrayed. Struggling artist with a debilitating illness... This movie captured the essence of one of the greatest composers born and raised in America. Because of the commitment to showcase the life and music of Joplin, I give this 5 stars!
and his marriage to Belle only lasted a few months, according to his friends testimony, she didnt care for his music very much, and they had little in common.
Scott Joplin will always be my favorite composer.
Yes sir i like your profile picture
One of my idols. A true legend.... A lot of people know his music but not him...

a Legend Will never Be forgotten💪💪
I think they should give this another look, make another movie. It'll be interesting today - I'm sure not many know this composer
I'm afraid today's movie will be politically biased
uno de los mejores estilos musicales de este universo, una musica feliz, de la vida

1:55 If you think about it, is actually Peacherine Rag only in different notes

Such a pity that in Europe it's impossible to find this film on DVD. Even on Amazon it costs a fortune. :(
