In Reply to: Excellent film, terrible history . . . posted by Auricle on October 27, 2004 at 10:27:19:
This film was about the genius of mozart told as an art - it was after all a fairly close re-telling of the Peter Shaffer play - though there were previous stories. The play is better than the film in that it is made more clear that this is a story from Salieri's perspective - and thus that allows historical mistakes to be tossed out as "well it is from one person's memory" especially when it's all fictitious.Still we don't go to movies or documentaries for historical truths and nor should anyone be going to history textbooks that you got in elementary school for historical accuracy. I'm not sure why there is a fuss over how Mozart died - he did -- simple.
Amadeus is one of the better films available if for no other reason than it intrduces Mozart's to a lot of people who may not have really bothered to give Mozart's music a try or classical music a good listen. Excellent performance from Abraham and Hulce.
