Amadeus

"Your merciful God. He destroyed his own beloved, rather than let a mediocrity share in the smallest part of his glory. He killed Mozart and kept me alive to torture. Thirty-two years of torture. Thirty-two years of slowly watching myself become extinct. My music growing fainter. All the time fainter till no one plays it at all. And his..." This film is a masterpiece and I cannot stress that enough. F. Murray Abraham did a fantastic job portraying Salieri, he absorbs what mediocre must've felt like. Admit it, we can relate to Salieri, We are mediocre at what we could consider a talent of ours, there is always someone greater than us, and the role Salieri embraced all that. I love it. This film would certainly catch everyone's attention and even if it is a three-hour-long film, you wouldn't notice it because there is no dead-air. It was engaging and definitely thought-provoking. "I will speak for you, Father. I speak for all mediocrities in the world. I am their champion. I am their patron saint."
