Perfect

Rating: 9/10 (15 January 2006)

Amadeus is complex as it is comic at times. This movie is an incredible illustration of the power of forgiveness and reconciliation. While at the same time it demonstrates jealousy and greed on the other end of the spectrum. Milos Foreman is unique and creative in the way he brings the story of Wolfgang A. Mozart to the screen. Mozart in the movie is portrayed as this naive but celestial sent prodigy. Whose genius is sometimes out shadowed by his pranks, and "infintile boy" behavior. But do not think that his music is comic, it is anything but that! In his music and in the film is portrayed with such seriousness, grandeur, and humility that it was quite the opposite of Mozart himself. Saleri is methodical in his story explaining by a confessional account of how he loved and hated Mozart. But most of all, the music is beyond imagination, each segment in the movie shows and tells how Mozart develops these mercurial and mysterious pieces that capitulates us how he truly was a genius at his work. All the actors did an incredible job in portraying the people that were more or less in Mozart's life. To see this movie is a must, it will move you and make you laugh at the same time. But it will not make you laugh at the person portrayed in the movie, rather, it will make you appreciate how much he loved to live life and expressing it with music. Mozart's music in one way is a celebration of life; love, joy, hate, jealousy, immortality, death, and forgiveness. The list is not exhaustive but it does portray the inner subconscious feelings that we practice everyday. This movie explains this and it does with such accuracy that in Mozart's words are perfect, no more no less than I require! This movie will go down as timeless and sublime in movie history. Check it out.
