Glorious!

Rating: 10/10 (5 September 2002)

Amadeus is my favorite movie of all time. I spent much time deliberating this after my dad declared that "The Fellowship of the Ring" was his favorite movie of all time. I love this movie because I love music more than anything, except for books. The music in this film is the most magnificent ever written and if "The Marriage of Figaro" doesn't make you cry than another piece surely will. The acting is simply phenomenal. Tom Hulce is amazing as Mozart and every other performance he does is shaped by this one. I even love the laugh. Still, the best performance is F. Murray Abraham's with his ability to go from madness to utter lucidity in one line. The costumes are amazing and some day if I can I want to design my house like the apartment of the Mozarts. A perfect story, even with the historical inaccuracies, and my pick for the best movie ever made!
