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.

give him his chastity and write for God. The next day Salieri's father died and this was a miracle
in Salieri's eyes. His family had to go to Vienna where Salieri then became discovered. Salieri
worked his way up to the courts and was the Emperor's composer. Mozart was to perform for the

to see what this marvelous composer looked like with all the talent he possessed.

never be. In the middle of the movie Mozart finds out that his father has died. This slowly kills
Mozart, he can't write, he drinks more and more, and his relationship with his wife is suffe...
