he was appointed as chevalier of the Order of the Golden Spur by the pope.

2. Because he's a prolific and influential classical composer. Also, the large number

of compositions he had written only proves that he was able to master the

technical aspects of music writing and possessed an original imagination when

he was still a child.

2. In the winter of 1823, Antonio Salieri is committed to a psychiatric hospital after a

suicide attempt, during which his servants overhear him confess to murdering

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Gossip that Salieri hated Mozart or even tried to

poison him seems to have originated after Mozart's death in 1791. Though Salieri
mourned Mozart at his funeral and even later taught Mozart's son, he was soon

linked with ugly accusations that he had caused the composer's demise.
 An Analysis of the movie “Amadeus”

The story of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's life, career, and difficulties as narrated

by Antonio Salieri, a composer of the time who was intensely envious of Mozart's talent

and claimed to have killed him. The 1979 stage play Amadeus was adapted into the

1984 American period biographical drama film Amadeus, which was directed by Milo

Forman. Thirteen days after its global premiere in Los Angeles on September 6, 1984,

Amadeus was released by Orion Pictures on September 19 with a running time of 2

hours and 40 minutes. It’s a period biographical, drama, and musical film. The tale of

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is fictionalized in this movie, which is a "fantasia on the

theme of Mozart and Salieri," and is set in Vienna, Austria, in the second half of the 18th

century. There is a lot of Mozart music on the soundtrack. The movie centers on a

fictitious competition between Mozart and Antonio Salieri, an Italian composer, at

Emperor Joseph II's court.

The tale of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is fictionalized in this movie, which is a

"fantasia on the theme of Mozart and Salieri," and is set in Vienna, Austria, in the

second half of the 18th century. There is a lot of Mozart music on the soundtrack. The

movie centers on a fictitious competition between Mozart and Antonio Salieri, an Italian

composer, at Emperor Joseph II's court. Salieri, a devoted Christian, holds that God

bestows all musical talent and inspiration. Salieri is disgusted by Mozart's personal life

and extracurricular activities. Mozart's genius and his lifestyle are incompatible in his

eyes, therefore he decides to exclude him from the court. His first purpose is to

undermine him, but as time goes on, his motives become more lethal.
 Even after numerous viewings, Amadeus is such a magnificent film that it never

ceases to astound. In every way that you look at it, it is simply fantastic. Both the

magnitude and the caliber of the whole production are enormous. There are countless

minute details to take note of, and each frame is painstakingly built and put together.

Knowing that every background character, and there are hundreds of them, is a real

person, an extra with their own hair, makeup, and outfit, makes it rather moving to see

the elaborate ball sequences and, in particular, the concerts. Although today's visual

effects are incredible and feel extremely real, we can see that there is still a long way to

go when we view scenes like this. It cannot be compared. They feel real, not simply like

they do. Amadeus is fundamentally a very little, quiet tale about how jealousy may

corrupt a person to the point of lunacy. It also discusses the appeal of art and how it

may develop into an obsession. It takes a master to make a huge movie feel personal,

as Forman does. The lavish production, which was filmed in his native Czechoslovakia,

seems authentic and grounded. One of the best film filmmakers of the 1970s and

1980s, Forman was entirely in charge of his art. Everyone in this room is at the top of

their game, but screenwriter Peter Shaffer stands out above the rest. The script is

absolutely flawless. Despite being nearly three hours long, the time does not seem to fly

by. The narrative catches our attention right away and draws us in. The performance of

Abraham stands out above anything else in this scene. Without a question, Salieri is

among the greatest characters to ever appear on screen. His work provides us with all

the screenplay asks for, possibly even more. Salieri is evil and cunning—he's a bad guy,

after all—but he also has a deeply wounded and hopeless nature. He is an

his work overshadowed.

The best part is that we can relate to Salieri's suffering because it is practically

impossible for most of us to be in the same room as geniuses. The most amazing part

of it all is that Mozart isn't even portrayed as a genius; rather, he's spoilt, utterly

unrealistic, and a little child. Mozart has a persistent sense of being an outsider who

doesn't know or care all that much about fitting in. This is not a person who demands

respect, as seen by the laugh alone. At least not until he demonstrates his true abilities.

Everything is then absolved. Even Mozart himself, Tom Hulce, is limited by F's mastery.

Murray Abraham, yet he is excellent, powerful, and animated. He is the ideal

counterpoint to the darkness Salieri portrays, and he still has a chance to reveal to us

Mozart's own shadowy sides. Definitely, one of the greatest movies ever created is

Amadeus.
