Amadeus is in my opinion the second best film of all time, next to Casablanca. It is truly flawless. The story centers around Antonio Salieri. A composer who has basically worshiped Mozart since they were both children. He is the court composer and Mozart will come and play for the king. Salieri finally has a chance to meet him. When he does he learns the truth about Mozart. That he is a bumbling sex obsessed twenty year old teenager, who is far more talented that Salieri. He of course doesn't like this very much and plots to kill Mozart, while never wanting to stop listening to his music. The performances are completely brilliant. F. Murray Abraham and Tom Hulce play the two lead rolls perfectly. The direction and the technical aspects are also just flawless. The Cinematography is the best ever filmed. This movie is flawless.
