2023-11-12 22:28:56 +0000 UTCOne of my favorite acting moments is in the beginning when Salieri first speaks his name, "Wolfgang... Amadeus... Mozart." He puts a real stink on the name Amadeus, which means "Love of God," the source of his jealousy. If you want to see another movie about a classical composer that is mind blowing, watch 'Immortal Beloved' with Gary Oldman as Ludwig von Beethoven.

2023-11-10 13:01:17 +0000 UTCWhat a great film this is, and what a great director the late Milos Forman was. Fun fact: just about all of Forman's classic films--- have the exact same plotline. :D (And it *works* every time.) A colorful, incredibly charismatic, completely irresponsible man-child does battle with authority figures (who are too stuffy and repressive to appreciate his lust for life). Along the way, he develops an odd-couple relationship with a much quieter and more timid soul who sees his freedom and admires it but cannot partake of it (much to his frustration). In the end, the wild child gets "sacrificed," and the regular Joe endures to tell his tale. See also (and *please* do--- because all of his films are great): "Man on the Moon," "The People vs. Larry Flynt," "Hair," and "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest."

2023-11-10 03:17:31 +0000 UTCWell--- I would say that the love of the music is in there. (Without it, what happens in the plot simply wouldn't make much sense.) It's just that, yes, it gets drowned out--- if you will--- by all that jealousy, envy, and bitterness...

2023-11-10 03:15:09 +0000 UTCThe movie isn’t about Mozart, or about music. Those are the background elements. The movie is about envy, how innocent admiration can mix with insidious jealousy of the talent or wealth or charisma that another person has. The character Salieri destroyed another man because he couldn’t deal with not matching up with Mozart.

2023-11-09 22:45:17 +0000 UTCTo have "perfect pitch" to be able to just see the notes or hear the music in your head and put it into real music for people is such a talent I will never fully comprehend. Its amazing.

2023-11-09 21:46:57 +0000 UTCDasha, my late father in law had a pretty good musical education when he grew up. He was able to read music and had the talent to "hear what was just written on paper" in his head, as well as he was able to identify the notes and melodies of single instruments of a large orchestra piece just by listening to it once, and than write it down. He was no musically genius, it is trainable. But it still was pretty damn impressive, and I could never imagine I would be able to do so, even if I would really try to learn it. I'm still convinced you still need some musical talent to be able to do that.

2023-11-09 21:06:56 +0000 UTCWith your observations, you made me think of a composer who lives in Vienna. Her name is Alma Deutscher and she was born in England and her parents are professors. She started writing music at age 4. She plays both piano and violin and she has music popping in her head all the time. She also can hear all the instruments in her head while she composes. She was born in 2005.
