Mozart: on the next celebrity death match! "Amadeus" is a fantastic movie that anyone could easily love and enjoy. When Salieri gets a little jealous that the emperor played by an under rated Jeffrey Jones, since he is the emperor's tutor, then the emperor demands more of Mozart and his music. Constanze is obviously the more mature one and is the only woman who can try to tame Mozart's crazy ways. He marries Constanze played by Elizabeth Berridge and she does it remarkably well. He brings such life to Mozart and an immaturity that I think some of us can relate too in being spoiled and always knowing you're the best at your talent. Tom Hulce gives Mozart this crazy and annoying yet nevertheless funny laugh that you can't help but laugh at it every time he does it. Just great and a perfectly played out performance by Abraham and Frank. That was Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart" and you see the priest's embarrassment. Salieri just looks at him with a smile and says "Ah, how about.?", he plays Mozart's most famous work and the priest gets excited saying "Oh, how charming! I'm sorry, I didn't know you wrote that!" smiling and knowing how it will please Salieri, Salieri just looks at him with a emotionless face "I didn't. When a priest comes to ask Salieri to plead forgiveness to the lord and wants to council him, Salieri describes who he was and how music inspired his life, he plays a few notes from his opera's that were masterpieces, the priest just looks at him not knowing the music. The story is that we start off with an older and more suicidal Salieri who blames himself for Mozart's death. Congrats to Amaudeus for bringing the beauty of classical music into out living rooms. Despite the story not being accurate, come on! This is a great movie that was a gigantic Oscar waiting to happen. This also has the life of Antonio Salieri, a great and well deserved Oscar winning performance by F. Based on the life of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, played a terrific and hilarious performance by Tom Hulce. I didn't watch it until I turned 10 finally I sat myself down and watched it. I remember as a child, my sister told me to watch this film.
