I
speak for all mediocrities in the world. I am
their champion. I am their patron saint.
The
film is so entertaining and the acting so
precise that one might forget that the script
may not be the most historically accurate
portrayal of the musical genius. Also I believe
that this film would be more accurately titled 'Salieri'
as it is more a story of his jealousy and his
loathing of the genius who overshadowed him...
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
This film won the Academy award over the
superior 'The Killing Fields' in 1984 but I
still agree that it is one of the classic films
of the decade and will be remembered many years
from now. Abraham won an Oscar for his
performance and it is one of the best examples
of acting I have ever seen.

Can I just say I love Tom Hulce? I'm still not
sure I like this performance as much as his role
in "Dominick and Eugene," but his performance as
Mozart was just stunning. I didn't really expect
to enjoy this film...but, I found myself
captivated.
