Leonard Bernstein, one of the most influential figures in 20th-century music, is finally getting the biopic treatment he deserves with the release of ‘maestro’. Directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Jake Gyllenhaal as Bernstein, this film promises to delve deep into the life and career of this musical genius. ‘maestro’ chronicles Bernstein's journey from his humble beginnings in Lawrence, Massachusetts to becoming the renowned conductor of the New York Philharmonic. It explores his groundbreaking work as a composer, including his iconic score for West Side Story, which revolutionized American musical theater. The film also delves into his role as an educator and advocate for music education, highlighting his famous Young People's Concerts that brought classical music to a wider audience.
The term "biopic maestro" refers to those filmmakers who have mastered the art of creating compelling biographical dramas. These directors possess a unique ability to bring historical figures to life on screen, capturing their essence and leaving audiences captivated by their stories. When these maestros' works are made available for streaming, it opens up a world of possibilities for viewers.
Edward R. Murrow is on the soundtrack, listing Lenny’s career achievements as part of an introduction for a television interview. The same device is used later when a journalist recounts the now fiftysomething Bernstein’s later résumé to him as part of a pitch to write a biography.
 Bradley Cooper—focuses on Bernstein's complicated relationship with the many loves of his life. This includes, but certainly isn't limited to: music, his wife, Felicia Montealegre, and his various affairs.
Movie fans who weren't able to take in Maestro in its limited November theatrical release can now enjoy the Leonard Bernstein biopic streaming at home. The film hits Netflix December 20. 
“The one thing I knew we had was nuclear energy in his music,” Cooper said. “The whole movie is written to his music! It is one symphonic musical element, the movie itself.”
His hope for the movie, the actor said, is that more people will turn to the music of Leonard Bernstein after watching the film. “And hopefully Gustav Mahler as well,” he added.
