Perfection.

I don't understand why this movie isn't higher rated. What criticism could possibly be raised about this flawless masterpiece?

Too many notes?

not naming this movie after Salieri is *such* a good joke.

a retelling of squidward and spongebob’s relationship through the contemptuous maelstrom of music!

pretty good but the whole soundtrack was just samples of old music. kinda lazy :/

men would rather spend years praying on your downfall than go to therapy

i knew mozart was an aquarius the EXACT MOMENT his goofy annoying ass walked into the room

best part of this movie is Mozart sick in his bed, reciting his compositions to Salieri and as he gestures and indicates the notes, you hear the vocals and instruments through his very presence. you are stunned by the way this mortal manages to convey such a distinct sense of music just through his language, the passion of his creation flowing so intensely that the audio itself shifts beyond reality to fit it all in. Salieri despises his younger genius, but in this scene, even after years of hatred, he is swept up in the genius of his creative process. that’s the kind of movie this is, the one that recognises that the power of creation is one that can alter every experience and preconceived notion you’ve had, even just for a few minutes of song.

Basically a superhero movie where no one understands or appreciates the hero’s power. No one... except the villain.

If you need a really dumb hook for getting a kid to watch one of the greatest films of all time.

The scene where Salieri sits up all night with Mozart to assist him in writing what will be his final piece is so moving, so heartbreaking. To see Salieri, a man who spends the whole film reckoning with his obsession and jealousy for Mozart's talent - talent which he conflates with intimacy with God himself - become an extension of Mozart and that very talent, is so powerful. I'm reminded of the quote from Victor Hugo's Les Mis: “To love another person is to see the face of God.” What you see in that final scene between Salieri and Mozart is not jealousy, not obsession, but love. C'est magnifique!!

Mozart was good but he's no Ryan Gosling in La La Land

This movie would be a minute long if salieri wasn’t a jealous incel

if Mozart had a fan club, they would have almost certainly been called The Wolfgang
