OK, this film is about an historical figure in France around the French Revolution. He is a biracial gifted musician that his race is the main obstacle for his full accomplishment as a composer and violinist. There are two different issues about this film. First the quality of the writing and directing that some reviews had already mentioned. I agree the script could have been way better, the first thirty minutes is wasted and the romance is too long and unnecessary, instead they could have continued with his life during the Revolution and the impact of Bonaparte's racist actions in banning his work to the point of destroying it to obscurity so he could reinstate slavery.
My second point is the disapproval that people show with giving ones and expressing their dissatisfaction with the film anti racist subject matter. Unfortunately the same people might be supportive of banning teaching history of slavery in schools. I wish this was a more successful film in showing the real pain this artist suffered during his life.
