Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Tom Hulce

Mozart's wife - Elizabeth Berridde

Emperor Joseph II - Jeffery Jones

The movie " Amadeus" was based on two composers, Mozart and Salieri. In the begging of the movie Salieri tries to commit suiside. A priest comes to see Salieri to ask him if he has anything to confess. Salieri then begins 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. One day while in church, Salieri asks God to let him be a great composer and in return he would 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

Mozart and his father have a love hate relationship. Mozart loves his father more than anything and owes his entire career to him. Although Mozart loves his father, he has disobeyed him by marrying his wife and not waiting for his father to get to Vienna. Mozart's father loves his son more than anything, but hates the fact that Mozart drinks too much and does not make enough money. His father wants him to go back to his home with his father but Mozart refuses because he loves Vienna too much.

Salieri and Mozart's wife do not have much of a relationship. They only come in contact with each other on two occasions. She came to salieri to show him her husband's work to see if it was good enough. Because Salieri was so astounded with what he read he threw the music on the floor and left her. She was not happy because of how rude he was that day. The next time she talked to him was when she came home and her was there with Mozart. She asked him to leave right away and didn't want Mozart to do anything that would make him even sicker. Salieri doesn't show much interest in Mozart's wife. He doesn't really show a like or dislike for her. At the beginning when she brings the music for him he is nice and gracious to her but after that day he doesn't speak of her nor have any conflict with her.

Mozart is happy at first because of the money, but then realizes because he is sick that he will never be able to finish the piece. Salieri asks Mozart if he needs help with finishing the piece. They are up all night long; they are almost done when Mozart has to take a break. They both fall asleep, and are awaken by Mozart's wife. Mozart's wife comes back because she misses Mozart she tells Salieri to leave. He tells her that he cant because Mozart needs to finish the piece. Mozart's wife tells him that he cant work on it anymore because it is killing him. While Salieri and Mozart's wife are fighting Mozart dies. Salieri in his old age tells the priest that God killed his own miracle and wishes that he could have done it himself.
