Disappointed

Rating: 4/10 (9 March 2005)

Me and my girlfriend decided to watch either other's favorite movies. Initially, I was gonna put on a short one so she wouldn't lose interest, American History X (a brilliant masterpiece, but not my fav.), but after this I made her sit through all 3 hours of Amadeus. Its not a bad movie, don't get me wrong. The acting discovers new levels of mediocre and the plot is pretty cool. It means something different to everyone who watches it. I guess I expected too much after hearing how "inspirational" it was. I didn't find what I was looking for, the idea of emotions was far too shallow for me. As if they were some kind of "either you have it or you don't" thing. My views seem to be further askew than all, parts some take of the up most sincerity I find to be satirical. The characters are simply average people w/ average lives. It is the human complexity of which interests us so much. Over all, I didn't care for it. If you know wit and seek revelation...stray away from this, if you're of dull mind and seek to facade your travesty, then have at it.
