Amadeus

“Amadeus” was about the life of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and the relationship Salieri had with him. It was meant for a general audience, however, a more mature audience would understand the film better than children would. The film’s purpose was to inform the world of the life behind the legend and get a very important point across: That image and legend is not always truth.
The movie is all one big flashback, really, as told to a priest by Salieri. Salieri begins with the background on he and Mozart’s lives, and quickly moves into the first time Salieri saw Mozart in the flesh. At the time (and for most of the rest of his life), Mozart was a giggling, sick-minded, boyish character, and he proposed to his landlady’s daughter, Constanze. She accepted. Mozart was then commissioned for a German opera by the emperor. He sets the scene in a Turkey, and the opera is a great success. The emperor, however, thought there were “too many notes” in the opera… After the performance, his engagement to Constanze is announced by her mother, and Mozart’s other lover, the star of the opera, is royally ticked off. Later, after the marriage, Mozart falls into a fatal pattern of excess partying and squandering money, so his wife brings some original manuscripts to Salieri to be approved so Mozart can become a music instructor. Salieri takes one look at the original manuscripts, realizes there are no mistakes or corrections of any kind, and becomes so overcome with envy that he storms out, leaving Constanze clueless. Salieri then hires a maid to go work in Mozart’s apartment, in order to have someone on the “inside.” He finds out that Mozart is turning the French play “Figaro,” which has been banned, into an opera. When Salieri tells the emperor of this, the emperor confronts Mozart and, after much negotiation, decides to lift his law of banishment off of the play. The daring, brilliant, bold opera is an immense success, and this is the peak of Mozart’s fame. Soon after this, Mozart’s father dies. Mozart writes an opera about his relationship with his father, and it circles somewhat around his father’s death. After this amazing opera, Salieri gets a brilliant idea for Mozart’s demise. He dresses as Mozart’s father once appear...
