Abraham's Salieri declares war against the heavens for speaking through the genius of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, played by Hulce. Flashbacks illuminate the mad, energetic brilliance of Mozart, and Salieri's struggle with his own mediocrity.
Alot of "theatrical license" with a little nonfiction intertwined. I love Mozart's music ofcourse, who doesn't? And he was a musical savant! This movie did give me a curiosity to research Mozart's life so I ordered a biographical book on composers. It also gives an interesting take on the mystery of Mozart's early death & a kind of "who dunnit" re: Salieri vs illness. It is also a sad story but Mozart's brilliance as a composer is beyond compare.
