Review of Amadeus (1984) by Jordanlayton — 30 Apr 2020
Did this movie just get me to appreciate opera? Loved this one. Watched the three hour director's cut and it didn't lose me for one minute of it. It's an epic of one-sided rivalry about the dangers of envy, obsession, and devotion to craft over your own wellness entirely filled with beautiful classical music that is made surprisingly accessible by the characters' descriptions of it out of their own appreciation for it.
There's so much going on in this film and it all comes together at the end with a final solemn message about the effect a life of self-defined mediocrity has on one's mind.
