Amadeus
Me and a friend came to the conclusion that this film can be perfectly translated into a Muppets movie - I’d like to share my evidence
Mozart would be the only human in this equation - it’s common muppet lore that there’s always one human present in the film to balance the sheer number of muppets that exist, Mozart makes the most sense but it would mean that the film would take a drastic tonal shift into something of a horror movie in which Mozart is more like Salieri in the sense that he is completely insane and having mappet hallucinations
Salieri would be replaced with the stern blue eagle purely on the basis that he looks almost identical to him - the brutal taken aback facial expressions would also be amplified
Miss Piggy would be Stanzi - she would completely change the character into a much less sympathetic one, or maybe it would be more?
Kermit would be a perfect fit for the director and the evil gulag kermit would be the Emperor of Austria - it would be a hilarious cabinet as well as having fizzy bear in the equation
Having gonzo be Salieri in the mask would be hilarious
The muppets themselves would make the opera scenes so much more chaotic and nightmarish - and also it would make the performances within the film a lot more authentic
It would need at least a $300 million budget - there would be no changes to the writing because the film works so well with muppets
This is the most unhinged review I’ve ever done
