Amadeus (Amadeus, 1984)
Usually biographical pictures are interesting to a certain circle of people. But Milos Forman's film "Amadeus" about the life of the genius Mozart seems to rise above this genre. For the director, this story became only an arena where an incredible drama in the relationship of Salieri and Mozart with a complex interweaving of envy and admiration, love and revenge is played out.
Mozart is shown so carefree and mischievous that it is hard to believe that this non-maturing boy created great masterpieces. The image of Salieri is interesting and deep - in the film for him the enemy becomes not so much Amadeus, as the Creator himself, to whom he declares war for the fact that the “lustful boy” got the musical gift. The final is amazing.
The whole picture breathes the music of Mozart, the spirit of the era passed incredibly reliably. The film is brilliant and rightfully included in the top category "best musical films." Watch the movie's announcement:
