  Perfection.

  I don't understand why this movie isn't higher rated. What criticism could possibly be raised about this flawless masterpiece?

  Too many notes?

  best part of this movie is Mozart sick in his bed, reciting his compositions to Salieri and as he gestures and indicates the notes, you hear the vocals and instruments through his very presence. you are stunned by the way this mortal manages to convey such a distinct sense of music just through his language, the passion of his creation flowing so intensely that the audio itself shifts beyond reality to fit it all in. Salieri despises his younger genius, but in this scene, even after years of hatred, he is swept up in the genius of his creative process. that’s the kind of movie this is, the one that recognises that the power of creation is one that can alter every experience and preconceived notion you’ve had, even just for a few minutes of song.

  Basically a superhero movie where no one understands or appreciates the hero’s power. No one... except the villain.

  If you need a really dumb hook for getting a kid to watch one of the greatest films of all time.

  Review by Wesley R. Ball ★★★★★ 7

  Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, arguably the single greatest mind in music history, never really had a rise to greatness so much as an immersion in it from the start. A born prodigy, at age 4 he already started composing music and delighted dozens with his immense talent. Achieving notoriety among the elite in the musical industry proved to be an uphill battle for him, yet history has been far more gracious to him than to the other supposed masters of the art. Mozart kept an uncanny ability at achieving perfection while the more publicly renowned, whether out of political or personal motivation, seemed to harbor an intense yet silent hatred for him.

  At least, that's what Peter Shaffer's play Amadeus has…

  I have a distinct memory of my dad plopping me down to watch this when I was early into high school - fresh out of my youth symphony phase - and I was like "I HATE this" for the first six minutes then fell in love with it. a much different and better viewing experience as an adult (duh), especially one who has spent the better half of the past five years going, "look, classical music is mEANT to be listened to." it's sort of crazy the internet movie boys haven't started posting relentlessly about Susan Berridge (I would be!), and you know I literally screamed when I saw Simon Callow (my wife). "I am fed to the teeth with elevated things!" obviously I am a Mozart by nature (rude genius vulgarian with amazing hair) but I am Salieri in my desire to always eat a little cookie before being rude.
