Amadeus

Amadeus Amadeus was a world wide profound success, receiving 8 academy awards with the help of director Milos Forman, and the producer Saul Zaenty. It’s not about a famous musician and his works, but about a suffering old man, Antonio Salieri, who carries the guilt of destroying an artist of music, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, because of his lust for love. Transcending the two, Mozart and Salieri, are the universal themes they represent; the between God and man; the confrontation of mediocrity and genius; the difficulty of serving a God whose ways are often poor, irrational, perverse and mockingly cruel. This film had made me want to laugh, cry, and feel angry all at the same time. The most moving scene throughout the whole film was at Mozart’s death bed. The magnificent composer, only 35, is struggling to create another master piece while lying sickly and distraught in the smuggled sheets of his bed. At the foot of the bed is Salieri carefully writing every note, making sure not to miss a beat as he is dragging Mozart to his last breath.
