Beautifully Made & 1000x Better Than You May Think

Rating: 10/10 (5 March 2019)

I was introduced to Amadeus in my high school music appreciation class. Initially I was just happy to have a break from normal studies and see a movie. Every student loves movie day no matter the subject. Well since it is so long we didn't have time to finish it but I was sold in the first 10 minutes. The costumery, the music, the personalties of the characters was so much more than one would expect from a long dead historical musician. The movie really came to life for me so I had to find it and finish it. I found it on DVD and sat there in my room one night, 15 year old me, watching it from beginning to end and getting sucked even further into the world it creates. I never knew half the stuff it covered about Mozart and it was refreshing to see the nitty gritty and not the perfect musician everyone knows him to be. I assure you this is worth a watch and you will be shocked at how much you enjoy it. I go back to it time and time again.
