Can you imagine someone talking like that today? Imagine a contemporary woman saying to a dude " I'm delighted to find that you're not a man, but an angel." But this is the era of Romanticism. And she's not just any woman, but George Sand
This movie had the dream cast of all dream casts. Every one of these great actors could have carried a movie by themselves. Having them all together made this film a sublime dramatic feast.
My all-time favorite movie. SOOOO intelligent with sooooo many amazing actors. I do not understand why it was never more popular. I would love to see this movie re-released
@@adamskayneh9125 - I caught the movie free on the "Pluto" app. They show movies on the TV side. Probably will appear soon again. Hope this helps. Cheers! 🎈
This movie is a gem. Never was as popular as should have been. Likely "too intellectual" 😉 Stunning music. Crazy good actors, young, all became superstars soon.
Okay everyone this movie is about George Sands not Chopin. The movie only centered around their relationship, but it is primarily about how George Sand’s life was and her lovers, etc.
I'm Polish and it's kinda funny because now whenever I think about Chopin, instead of our common mother tongue in my mind he speaks English with this cute accent by Hugh Grant😂
@ WetWhistlinWillyJohnson you are sadly right. Not to defend her, but she’s had a childhood that predestined her to it (her little brother died in infancy and his father, too within 2 weeks, when she was just 4. Her mother was never emotionally available. She was raised by her grandma, who got rid of her mother, later she was sent to a convent. No wonder she was looking for love her entire life, desperately but hopelessly. Noone could fill that hole and she just passed the problem off to her daughter. And ofc damaged a whole lot of men in the process. Some didn’t take her that seriously and recovered (like Mérimée and Liszt). Some others unfortunately didn’t (Musset and Chopin). Her daughter got also destroyed by her.
@ Dr Parnassus she did indeed present herself more like a man than a woman. She was also most likely bisexual. Her relationship with Marie Dorval lasted for decades, in between and during male lovers. Chopin’s first reaction has really been very negative of her, he was appalled by her masculine ways and found her repugnant. ‘How antipathetic this Sand woman is! Is she really a woman at all? I am inclined to doubt it.’ This is what he said about her.
Even in the 20th Century, prior to the late 1960s, George Sand's masculine dress and cigar smoking would have been shocking to the public in France, the USA, England or most other modern nations. It might even have gotten her arrested. Was she ever arrested in France for this?
From what I know, she wasn't. Her pseudonym was George Sand, a man's name, so she could publish her works as back in those days, women who wrote barely got any recognition. This goes the same for Charlotte Brontë, or Currer Bell. People assumed that she was a man through her novels, hence the reason why she acted like a man of that time
@@reecegrainger9582 she was the most famous author in Europe at the time, and her antics were discussed endlessly, the way people talk about Miley or Cardi or whoever today.

Ballad 1,grande walze brilliant 1,waterfall etyd 1 really 1 can quet everything take away stupidness force oppression to go but fantasi impromptu Chopin did not want to publish even l felt it
This movie is one of those unfortunate cases where a cast of great actors gave horrible performances. I blame the director. This scene, in particular, is poorly blocked and my god almighty how awkward and lacking in chemistry this scene plays out
Piece name: Ballade No. 1 in G Minor, Op. 23. This excerpt is from around the middle of the piece.
Hyoseon Lee Yes, getting very close to the Coda.
Thanks, was looking for the piece name! 🙏😉
Thank you!!!
My Best Friend : "Who in their right mind would hide under Chopin's piano just to hear him play? "
Me: "....Dude.... I would. "
lol
MusicBox Melody zmore like who wouldn't do it 😂😂
Me. too. I love when she calls him "angel fingers" when she's looking for him. Truly Chopin's music was and is such a gift.
Jesus died for Chopin, mankind was redeemed as an afterthought to provide an audience.
I WOULD!!!!!
This was during the Romantic era of European history and culture. None of that would surprised
Can you imagine someone talking like that today? Imagine a contemporary woman saying to a dude " I'm delighted to find that you're not a man, but an angel." But this is the era of Romanticism. And she's not just any woman, but George Sand
I would talk like that
Um. This is a movie. Not a real recording from the 1830s.
@@elias7748 Oh my, I would never have guessed that.
@@SagesseNoir Be happy that you live in the present. It’s easy to romanticize the past. But life was way tougher back then.
@@elias7748 I am glad that I live now and not then. In the 1830s I would have been a slave. But what has that to do with my initial statement?
This is the movie that made me fall in love with Chopin's music

I had no idea there was a movie based on Chopin. Well, now I gotta watch it.
Beethoven's Baton it’s more about George Sands than Chopin
Sadlt there is no available link to watch it for free.. if u find one plz tell
Oh yes, definitely watch this one.

We get it
Is it me or is the Polish accent beautiful 😻
is so cute
I'm Polish and it's kinda funny because now whenever I think about Chopin, instead of our common mother tongue in my mind he speaks English with this cute accent by Hugh Grant😂
It was silly but fitting
Can you imagine anyone talking the way George Sand talks to Chopin in this scene?
Yeah, they’re called the cluster b personality disordered.
The language is beautiful but the place it’s coming from is narcissism.

"You're not a man, you're an angel." Beautiful delivery; makes us believe.
"Rumour has it that you are a woman." That was a bit harsh, Fred.
An aristocratic dismissal.
They say that the real Chopin did as Listz if Sand was indeed a woman.
@ Dr Parnassus she did indeed present herself more like a man than a woman. She was also most likely bisexual. Her relationship with Marie Dorval lasted for decades, in between and during male lovers.
Chopin’s first reaction has really been very negative of her, he was appalled by her masculine ways and found her repugnant. ‘How antipathetic this Sand woman is! Is she really a woman at all? I am inclined to doubt it.’ This is what he said about her.
Well before he didn’t think she was a woman so…
Piano sounds like its reverberating from a Large concert hall rather than a medium size Room
Judy Davis ♥️
I found this movie on hoopla. I greatly enjoyed it because I did a research project on George Sands and I have always loved Chopin’s music.
Mind sending?
Chopin is fragile 🤣🤣🤣 he's adorable. I seriously not know he's kinda like this 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well, he's been real quiet for 170 years now so..
A perfect example of the phrase "opposites attracts".
oh yes
1:25 Count Dracula much
Aine Cassidy lol kind of … guess thats a Transylvanian polish accent
timothyj1966
+timothyj1966 ummm Draculas accent is from a Hungarian actor :D Well Polish,Hungarian,Romanian. All the same origin :D
Chopin was Polish.
romanian is a latin language, it does not have anything in common with those languages
‘Mme Sand, rumour has it you are a woman, so I must ask you to leave my private chambers’.
My favourite scene in the movie 😌
I love, love, love this movie. Have to go find my VHS of it! :) The cast was wonderful.
Chopin playing his Ballade Op. 23....
Bro Op. 23
*Sees woman*
*Asks her immediately to leave*
Chad Chopin. What a sigma. 😂
He doesn’t need one
Please do not sigma him.
I love this steadfastly
Ballade No 1! And ofc its the best part of the piece :)
0:01 It doesn't sound like a 19th Century Piano.
Also the rhythm got cut, his reaction doesn't look like he is playing his piece "Ballade No. 1"
Wonderful movie, and music for sure ;)
Awe.....
an angle indeed
*Angel
CouchPotato Well, he's not acute, but he is acutie! Haha..... I'll go.

@@my-lady-greensleeves5831 You’re speaking facts doe 😳😳😳
The movie's title is "Impromptu"
I'ts so bad that it's good.
This
The actor playing George does a great job of capturing her spirit. But once again Hollywood chose someone who looked nothing like the actual person.
What is this piece called?
Chopin ballade no 1 op 23. This is from the middle of the work.
Ballade in G minor Op 23 but this part is in A major(best part of the piece)

It's about George Sand and her love affair with Chopin
Etyds make clowns quiet

Wow. I'm literally not allowed to leave a comment on my thoughts about this movie. No matter how carefully I word it.
