The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

AmadeusAll the music based sequences is shot beautifully and set accordingly and wisely by the makers as it was a major part of the protagonist, and plays a major role in the tale too and is not just another tool that works behind the camera. It is rich on technical aspects like costume design, production design, background score, make-up design and editing. The script is elaborate, satisfying and justified thoroughly through the complex character's perspective whose narration is the window of writer where it can be and is brutally honest and clears up all that is hoax and distraction. Peter Shaffer; the writer, has done an appreciative work on writing this finely detailed script that is full of tactics but is surpassed by its brilliant execution by Milos Forman whose work pays off well in here. The performance objective is scored majestically by F. Murray Abraham and Tom Hulce, in their parallel role are doing some of their best work. The build up to the scrutiny of the politics in here is the key that is developed well enough to lure the audience in. Amadeus dances on the beat rhythmically and stay true to the tone of the feature for around 160 minutes, which doesn't happen often.

The movie loses a lot of it's punch when you find out afterwards that a lot of the content is in fact BS. Mozart travelled to a lot of European cities during this time. His music was a lot more successful than portrayed in the movie. The 'paupers' grave was BS. It was common during that time for non-aristocrats to be buried in 'common graves' that were re-used 10 years later. The bitter rivalry between Salieri & Mozart, the basis of the movie & that Salieri killed Mozart are BS & most likely come from a Pushkin short story. The movie totally ignores that Mozart became a Freemason 7 years before death & the importance it had it his life.

This was a film I saw a couple of weeks ago due to the fact that I had to for school, and the more gets better the more I think about it. Has a darker tone to it that just makes the film work out so well and the film just drips with atmosphere. The movie has some of the best acting I have ever seen, the Don Giovanni scene was very powerful and the scene when Mozart died was just captivating. If you have not seen it, you really should.
