Rating: 9/10 (22 April 2019)

To be fair, this movie doesn't even touch the more known Mozart's works, yet it's a glorious way to celebrate his music, if not his legacy.
The story is told by a seemingly mad man, Antonio Salieri, the Emperor's teacher who loves music more than anything else in this world. He has a lot of "self-image" issues, and when he's faced the reality of Mozart's existence, he's lost his faith in God, and himself. The abstinent musician, falls in love with Mozart's work, while simultaneously proves his-self unworthiness. That's a hard paradox for his appreciating jealous mind to handle. So, the double identity, as a coping mechanism to his respective mediocrity begins. He is allegedly Mozart's best friend, who little "Wolfie" knows, has sabotaged his work and even made an indecent proposal to his wife. Secretly, he's Mozart's biggest admirer. He confesses it many times himself.
He's broken in his soul, more than Mozart was ever broken financially.
Try to love Costanza, ingenuous woman with a heart of gold who loves Mozart very much. Mozart himself is portrayed like a very proud, bold and almost pertinent man-child who has no respect for anything but his music, not even money; profligately throws his life away in debts.
Beside the fantastic acting of the two important roles, costume design, music, makeups, and whatever else this movie has excelled to set the bar, Milos Forman's way of story telling is yet another masterpiece of his that puts Amadeus high up and close to his other masterpiece; One flew over the cuckoo's nest. He, once again, shows a great deal of artful directing, having mastered directing a big crowd. 2:40 hours and not even once you feel bored when watching this movie. Also, he's decided on giving Wolfgang a signature laugh that stays with you, that I promise.
Back to the story, the priest is broken in the end, just listening to Salieri's subtle sinister; imagine Salieri's torture for 32 years living that story.
It's such a good movie, and this is not only my opinion, the Academy has acknowledged this radiant of a movie with a lot of trophies.
Do yourself a favor, watch this movie.
