Amadeus Reflection

Overall, I thought that Amadeus was a brilliant film production, providing a different view (throught the eyes of Salieri) about the story of Mozart's dramatic and tragic life. It also provided a hint of comedy to the film to make it more interesting and appealing.  Amadeus really showed, in depth, what it was like to live in 18th century, while also following the life of Amadeus Mozart and Antonio Salieri. This movie portrayed Salieri and Mozart having a bitter relationship at first, but later ended having a bitter sweet ending. This movie also showed how Salieri was the man who was the hardworker, he never had the natural talent and did not start playing piano until a significatnly older age. Then they showed Mozart as the eccentric and whacky musician who always had natural talent and had always been a piano prodigy since a young age. Even though this movie was about Mozart, the main character was Salieri, who they showed more in detail. I think the main point of this movie was to show the life of Mozart and his brilliant, but dramatic struggle to become the world's greates pianist. The message of this movie was that hardwork may be important to be a succesful person, but a lot of time sheer succesfulness all boils down to natual talent and ability.
