Beautiful

Rating: 10/10 (14 December 2011)

I don't care if this film is historically incorrect, there's so much poetic truth in it. People apparently don't realize that the narration form is "unreliebale narrator". It means we see things the way the old and deluded Salieri remembers them, nobody says this is what actually happened.
The movie is full of emotion, psychology, interesting faces and beautiful music.
Apart from the 3 main characters (Mozart, his wife and Salieri), I especially liked the emperor and Mozart's friend. To see what Renaissance Europe (kinda) looked like is really wonderful. I mean especially the lower class people, like the maid secretly hired by Salieri. And the women who pass past Mozart's body in the rain in the end. I also liked that part where the sick Mozart is carried out of the theatre and three little boys dressed like angels curiously walk behind him. His fate was already sealed.
The part where Mozart's pranks prevented Salieri from secretly eating a candy from the archbishop's table is funny. So he took Salieri's woman and his faith in God, and even the candy, aaaaaaw that's mean.
The beginning of the movie is light and cheerful, the second half is dark and gloomy. That reminds me of James Cameron's Titanic.
It also got me into classical music, when I was 10. So I recommend it.
