Amadeus 1984

directed by Milos Forman in 1984, Amadeus is based on a play by Peter Shaffer. This movie, which won 8 Oscars, became one of the most popular movies of that year. The film has been very helpful in educating the public about Mozart's work, but has been criticized for its historical disparity. In particular, there is little historical evidence of Antonio Salieri's rivalry with Mozart. On the contrary, Mozart and Salieri most likely see each other as friends and partners. There is documentary evidence that Salieri gave Mozart points from the public library. He also presented Mozart's works on stage many times. He also became the music teacher of Mozart's son, Franz Xaver. The fact that he never showed his work is over-dramatized in the movie. In addition, when Mozart's works are examined, it is seen that he made many arrangements. Mozart worked hard and with his permission developed his excellent knowledge and skills in accordance with the musical traditions of Europe. Realizing that Shaffer and Foreman never wanted to present a true biography of Mozart, Shaffer and Foreman realized that they did not want to present it as a true biography of Mozart, explaining on the film's DVD that the dramatic narrative was inspired by the biblical story of Abel. and Cain is a brother, we love God, we despise the other. Mozart's life is almost the opposite of his music. His irrational behavior in showing his talent and his unhealthy attitude towards life cause Antonio Salieri to doubt himself and Amadea. Antonio, who is much more disciplined and ambitious in music than others, cannot be as successful as the god of music. These thoughts eventually lead them to form other relationships... The masterpiece is dedicated to the relationship between Amadeus Mozart, who has divine musical talent, and Antonio Salieri. A classic that focuses on the relationship between art and the personality of the artist and tells the life of a master musician through Salieri.
