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.

Mozart and his wife have a loving and honest relationship. Mozart loves his wife very much and is stressed at times because he can’t always provide for her. He is faithful to her after they got married and stands up for her when she fights with Mozart’s father. Mozart’s wife is a loving, understanding, and supporting wife. She would do anything for her husband but worries about him all the time. She is concerned about his drinking and that he is not getting paid for his marvelous work. She cares about money very much because Mozart goes through very quickly, and there is never enough money for her. Mozart loves to part and spend money doing it.

I enjoyed the film, it was not only educational but it was entertaining also. The way the story was presented was a great why to show the story through one-person eyes, which was Salieri. The way Salieri told the story was through his eyes and only his eyes so you did not get all sides of the story. I liked how they made the characters real. They did not make them boring, usually when you watch a movie from that time period it is boring. They made the characters believable. The movie was long, but I think it was necessary to be that long. I thought that the movie was good and I would suggest it to someone. I wished that all the things in the movie were true, it lost my interest after when I found out it was not all true.

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.

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. M
