Amadeus

(Director cut) At first, I wasn’t confident in my choice for the movie of the night. I wasn’t in a good mood and felt I might be too harsh on it. Besides, after watching the first three minutes, I thought it was the kind of film best enjoyed in a cold, crisp atmosphere not a humid one. Still, I decided to watch it, and I can say that despite all those factors ,to which I’m usually very sensitive the film turned out to be nothing short of a masterpiece. Even though it lasted three hours, I never once felt its length. At one point, I paused the movie to grab something to eat or drink, I don’t even remember and I was shocked to see that I had already watched half of it! I was genuinely astonished. Divine Genius: an epic journey between Mozart’s brilliance and Salieri’s envy. In the film, I saw love, hatred, faith, jealousy, obsession, regret, pride, humility ,all woven together through moral dilemmas presented in a mesmerizing way, with music that makes you forget time itself. To merge two art forms , music in its finest expression and cinema at its most graceful ,is something truly magnificent, worthy of admiration. The relationship between Salieri and Mozart isn’t one of simple hatred or rivalry; it’s far deeper than that. Despite Salieri’s envy and resentment ,even his blasphemous rage against God , he never missed a single play or opera by Mozart. He would even attend the same performance five times. And when he finally had the chance to work on music alongside Mozart, he didn’t hesitate. He forgot all bitterness, consumed by his love for music for Mozart’s work, which he saw as the voice of the god The direction was beautiful; every shot felt like a painting. I loved how, whenever they spoke about Mozart’s compositions or read his musical notes, you could hear the music playing ,I can’t quite describe it, but I loved that touch. My favorite scene was when Mozart, sick in bed, dictated his music to Salieri. As he moved his hand, you could hear the choir and instruments come alive in his mind. You could see his brilliance, his divine connection to music. He was so fast, so immersed in his creation, that when Salieri couldn’t keep up, it felt as if the music itself had stopped. How could a mortal possess such a gift? Mozart truly was a man who embodied the voice of God through his music ,the man who lived and died for his music. The final scene, accompanied by The Requiem, was breathtaking. It’s one of the best films I’ve ever seen, and I think I’ll watch it again. It easily earns a place in my top four.
