What a beautiful movie!

Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

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

I saw this movie last Saturday and was pretty excited because I had read all the raving reviews and heard what a masterpiece it was. Then, when I actually watched it, I was like...what's the big deal about this movie?The bad things:It was WAY too long. There's nothing wrong with long movies, but only if the story is engaging and interesting. Amadeus was just slow and boring. In my opinion, there was no reason for this film to be 3 hours long. No matter how impressive and extravagant costumes and backdrops are, it does not make a movie exciting. This is a problem I've seen in quite a few big-budget films. About two hours into the film, I got very, very sleepy and I could barely keep my eyes open (okay, this might have been because I was watching the movie at 11pm). The good things:F. Murray Abraham and Tom Hulce both did a good job. I didn't see a single flaw in their performances. The brief scenes of the insane asylum were effectively disturbing. The costumes, scenery, style, etc, all seemed to be intact. Giving Amadeus that quirky laugh was...a fun idea, I must admit.So the bottom line is, I won't watch this movie again but I'm glad I saw it once. And 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' was a much better film by Milos Forman.

I decided to watch Amadeus because I thought it was a comedy of some sort and I just wanted to watch something to have a good time. I really was not expecting the masterpiece that I was about to watch.Amadeus is a wonderful film that portrays the life of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It portrays it in such a way that you are always paying attention and it never gets boring.The film is told through the eyes of Salieri. Another musician who was jealous of Mozart. I thought this point of view was absolutely astounding. Because although I loved the character of Mozart, I loved even more the character of Salieri.He is a man obsessed with being the best at music and he has offered God a lot of things in exchange for that. Actually, I really enjoyed his relationship with God. How he thought God communicated with him and sent him messages through other people.Many people don't like the film because of some historical inaccuracies, but you have to take into account that the character is told through the perspective of someone in a mental hospital. It is told through the point of view of a madman.I really loved how the film progresses. Every characters begins high up and starts its decent. For Salieri it is his madness. For Mozart, it is his alcoholism. And Mozart's family starts having money problems.They portray Mozart in such a different way. This movie shows how he is a genius, but he is no gentlemen.Another thing I really liked is how Mozart thought of music. He heard the music in his head when he was writing it. I thought that was a really nice touch. Specially in a scene in which he starts hearing music when he is talking to his mother in law.If I had one complaint it would be that it is too long. Im pretty sure that some things could be cut out. The problem is that I don't know what. Everything is amazing.If you love a good film, you should definitely watch this one.

Amadeus, despite its title, is really not about Mozart. It is about Salieri, who is the court composer for the Austrian emperor and witnesses Mozart's rise from child prodigy to child-like adult. Salieri wants nothing more than to compose beautiful music, but instead his own mediocrity is made all the more apparent when contrasted to the seemingly divine talent of the impish Wolfgang, which irritates him to no end. Salieri's feelings of inadequacy resonate with anyone who has badly wanted a talent for themselves only to see it "wasted" on someone else who didn't appreciate it.The movie itself is beautiful in every degree- costumes, set, direction, and especially orchestration. With a soundtrack that is almost completely written by Mozart himself and which helps to guide the film, no other score can come close and the entire spectacle is a treat from start to finish. Though some complain about the lack of realism and introduction of fantasy into the events surrounding Mozart and Salieri, that should not be a deterrent. If you want strict accuracy then watch a documentary or read a book. This movie is meant to entertain, and entertain it does. This is a must see for any film buff, lover of classical music, or for anyone who has ever labored in the shadow of true genius.
