The movie “ Amadeus” was based on two composers, Mozart and Salieri. In the begging of the movie Salieri tries to commit suiside. A priest comes to see Salieri to ask him if he has anything to confess. Salieri then begins to unravel the story of Mozart and Salieri’s life together. Mozart has been a great composer since he was four years old. Salieri on the other hand not as good and would never be as good as Mozart. In the movie you can see how jealous Salieri is of Mozart. Salieri’s father was against him playing music, and on the other end Mozart’s father praised it and insisted on it. Salieri wanted to play music more than anything in the world. One day while in church, Salieri asks God to let him be a great composer and in return he would give him his chastity and write for God. The next day Salieri’s father died and this was a miracle in Salieri’s eyes.

. . .
The next time she talked to him was when she came home and her was there with Mozart. They only come in contact with each other on two occasions.

I enjoyed the film, it was not only educational but it was entertaining also. He wanted to see what this marvelous composer looked like with all the talent he possessed. She doesn’t want him living in their house any longer and so he leaves. Mozart’s wife tells him that he cant work on it anymore because it is killing him. The way Salieri told the story was through his eyes and only his eyes so you did not get all sides of the story. Because Salieri was so astounded with what he read he threw the music on the floor and left her.

Mozart is happy at first because of the money, but then realizes because he is sick that he will never be able to finish the piece. She says that they can’t ever do enough to please him. I thought that the movie was good and I would suggest it to someone. Mozart's father loves his son more than anything, but hates the fact that Mozart drinks too much and does not make enough money. The way the story was presented was a great why to show the story through one-person eyes, which was Salieri. Mozart views Salieri as an okay composer but has on one occasion made fun of him. They did not make them boring, usually when you watch a movie from that time period it is boring.
