Sorry, this movie sucks
Perfect cast and a good story
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
This film is so good, interesting and entertaining that I would like the movie to last forever. The strong point of Amadeus is that we wish the best for the 2 characters, Mozart, a childish adult who thinks only of his own success and Salieri who wishes the misfortune for Mozart however we understand the two points of view. The dialogues are interesting, the performances of the 2 actors are memorable, the cinematography is beautiful and the realization of Milos Forman is excellent and of course the music is sublime. What to ask for more. One of the best movies of the 80's.
All actors in this movie are top notch and deserve the oscars also the cinematic spectacle of hearing beautiful music put to life on screen even though i recommend to every one I only think it can drag on alittle bit
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.
I'm a classical pianist, I like Mozart's works so much, and I finally had the opportunity to know what had occurred in his life, yes, this movie was long, wait, was it ? 3 hours? It didn't feel like it, I really loved it.I loved how everything was depicted from Antonio Salieri's perspective. How refreshing. It depicted everything from his childhood on through his manhood 'til he dies. Thanks to everyone who participated in the creation of this masterpiece, and it deserved all the wins ! 9/10
