Amadeus
Amadeus I thought that this was a very interesting movie. One of the things that I noticed right off is that when Antonio Salieri was playing his own pieces I had never heard any of them. As soon as he played Mozart’s however, it was something that I recognized hearing before. I found it funny that when Mozart was young he wrote all these pieces and was considered to be so great and famous, but yet he acted just like any other young boy growing up, almost as if he did not know just how talented he was. A good example of this is when he pulled his jacket up before he bent over to bowe. When he was redoing the piece of the court composer, Mozart’s version sounded a lot happier and made you get into the . . .
I liked the way he would get an idea from just the littlest thing. But when the man comes to the house it gets you back into the movie. Overall, I would say this was a very good movie. I also thought that it was strange of them to ask him to cut notes and make it shorter. I found it strange that he could not recognize the voice of Salieri when he was dressed up to act like Mozart’s father. I did not really like the opera with the horse in it. I think that they tried to make you feel the sorrow of his death by not only showing the funeral and all the dark clothes, but also by making the setting in very gloomy and rainy weather. I feel his first opera really caught my attention. I found that it was getting harder and harder to pay attention because it was getting boring. I would think that if they liked it that much they would have wanted it to keep going and not end. That is one thing that showed how great his talent was. I thought it was weird that Mozart was telling Salieri what to write and he could not write it because he could not invision it in his head as he wrote. It did a good job of showing many different styles of music but did it in a fashion that was still interesting and made you want to keep watching.
