Amadeus 1984

Antonio Salieri believes that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozarts music is divine and miraculous. He wishes he was himself as good a musician as Mozart so that he can praise the Lord through composing. He began his career as a devout man who believes his success and talent as a composer are Gods rewards for his piety. Hes also content as the respected, financially well-off, court composer of Austrian Emperor Joseph II. But hes shocked to learn that Mozart is such a vulgar creature, and cant understand why God favored Mozart to be his instrument. Salieris envy has made him an enemy of God whose greatness was evident in Mozart. He is ready to take revenge against God and Mozart for his own musical mediocrity.
