Fact Checking “Chevalier” (2022)
1) It was King Louis XV NOT Queen Marie Antoinette who bestowed his title upon him
2)it’s debated if he had a child since he died having never married
3) the film doesn’t show it but Chevalier was jailed for about a year for being a counter-revolutionary & abolitionist after The French Revolution
4) Despite knowing and hating each other, the violin duel between Mozart and Chevalier probably didn’t happen

Continued thread

Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges (December 25, 1745-June 9, 1799) was an Afro-Caribbean French composer, violinist, fencer & political activist. Despite the racism of the era, he was extremely well regarded. During French Revolution he turned to politics and activism before dying young at age 53. Infuriatingly, his works were marginalized after his death due to racism. BUT have received renewed interest and acclaim in the past few decades

KERA · France to name Dallas publisher a Knight of the Order of Arts and LettersBy Jerome Weeks

Finished watching #Chevalier and definitely recommend it. Very sad, at times, but powerful.

Always important to remember and celebrate those who have actively been erased by bigotry in power.

While I'm sure some elements were romanticised (Marie Antoinette going out in the street, barely protected against rowdy revolutionaries didn't scan for me) it's still undoubtedly more accurate than what we learnt in schools.

With all the lavish dramas rehabilitating MA as a victim of circumstance>

I rented #Chevalier yesterday and quite liked it. If you like lush production, the lead-up to the French Revolution, classical music, swords, forbidden romance, social activism and a breathtakingly handsome man in breeches, this movie may be for you!
