Overrated Junk

Rating: 1/10 (15 April 2020)

This movie is an abomination, both to music and the cinematic art.
Firstly, the story is told from the point of view of his supposed rival Salieri, who is basically a nobody. This allows Mozart to be portrayed (from Salieri's POV) as a frivolous and arrogant persona who doesn't deserve to be the vessel for the divine music he produces.
The actors all have different accents, which makes for a very distracting viewing. Mozart's American accent in particular sounds exceptionally farcical. That is not to mention his ridiculous pink hair and over-exaggerated mood swings.
I honestly don't understand why this movie is so highly rated. It is more about Salieri's vices and unamusing instances of humor than about Mozart and his music. Just because the producers were able to put together some historical costumes and locations doesn't add any worth to the movie.
The producers of this film clearly did not bother putting together a decent filmwriter and casting team, and that sticks out like a sore thumb.
I only wish that the Mozart's name had not been shamed by being chosen as the title of this huge, huge bag of disappointment.
