One of my favorite movies is "Immortal Beloved," in which Gary Oldman does a fantastic job of playing Beethoven. It's dramatic. The music is played beautifully for the soundtrack. The acting is spot on and even the inaccuracies give it flavor. However, it is wildly inaccurate. There are some leaps that make me scratch my head, particularly given that the man who wrote it really believed he found the truth of the Immortal Beloved letter(s).
Anyhow, I watched it with Tibs a few nights ago and couldn't stop pointing out inaccuracies. I'm wondering if anyone else has seen a (pseudo) biographical drama that they loved as a film, but hated as a history lesson.
