Biografía musicalizada de Hans Christian Andersen, poeta y novelista danés, a quien se deben los cuentos para niños El patito feo, La princesa y el guisante y La sirenita entre otros.
Detalles técnicosEvery single biopic of a creative artist tells the same story, whether it's true or not: the Philistine World, or some part thereof, rejects the artist, and fails to see his greatness; but later on, perhaps during his lifetime, perhaps not, it sees the error of its ways. That happens here. Hans Christian Andersen is a village cobbler whose compulsive inventiveness is little thought of until he makes good in Copenhagen, after which...
But there's much more going on.
There's no doubt that Andersen was a great artist, in some sense. `The Ugly Duckling' and `The Emperor's New Clothes' are two of the greatest short stories - fables, folktales - all of these - ever composed. But he had his limitations. There were many kinds of stories he just couldn't write. His fertile talent for anthropomorphising was often a millstone. In many respects he seems to have been a childish and naive man. But get this: all of these limitations make it onto the screen. Both the story and Danny Kaye's performance (a great performance) make Andersen into a human being who is NOT the greatest storyteller since Shakespeare, but who can be admired for what he is.
The main story isn't the `unrecognised genius' bit: it's a story of unrequited love. While in Copenhagen Andersen spends most of his time banging his head against the wall over an unattainable ballerina, whose interest in him is, as they say, purely professional. He manages to be quite cruel to a close friend in the process, right up to the point where it's unclear that a reconciliation is possible. (Indeed, it's unclear whether or not one occurs.) When he realises what a fool he's been he just trudges back, defeated, to his village. And it's here we have the obligatory scene where the villagers realise how great he was after all, mainly by singing the highly memorable refrains of the movie's songs, one after the other. Well, the film needed some ending. I'm inclined to forgive this one.
There's also a lengthy Little Mermaid ballet - seven minutes long? more? - danced in its entirety. (We see a LOT of the ballerina's craft in Copenhagen.) This sort of thing wasn't too unusual in the 1950s but it's a genuine gamble in context - and one that I think pays off. By the time the ballet appears the cheery story of an eccentric village storyteller had become surprisingly dark. Vidor, it seems, would rather risk having people leave the cinema than insult those who remain. Good for him. I can't claim that this film works in every respect, and perhaps you won't like it, but I'm sure you won't feel cheated by it. .

Tutorial
Unir/borrar audio a un avi + cortar un avi
El vídeo del dvd no tiene la calidad que deberíamos esperar de una marca conocida (es un dvd de MGM). Es un poco borroso hasta el mínuto 51:15, y desde aquí hasta el final además de ser un poco borroso le he tenido que aplicar un filtro para eliminar el interlazado, cosa que le ha hecho perder aún un poco más de calidad en la recodificación.
Os ofrezco la posibilidad de hacer un dual en 2 cds (1.400 Mb), utilizando los dos audios mp3, o, si no os importa demasiado el tamaño cd, sólamente hay que añadir el audio español mp3 al que ya viene montado en el avi, el ac3 inglés.
Este rip corresponde a una petición en Fileheaven, y me he encotrado un poco "impuesto" el tamaño final del avi (1.400 Mb). Yo creo que a este rip probablemente no le hacía falta tanto bitrate de vídeo, ni el audio ac3.
En todo caso, espero que os guste.

Edición: Me había olvidado de indicar los idiomas en el pack de subtítulos. Si es que ya me lo decía mi cabo instructor en la base de Cartagena, que siempre voy con la pera...!
