Milos Forman’s "The Biography of Mozart" does not insist on telling about Mozart in the "child prodigy" period, but from his youth, Mozart at this stage has been separated from his father and his repressive hometown. Erzburg, came to Vienna alone to develop his own musical path. Mozart’s first appearance in the film is different from ordinary people. He ignores etiquette and manners, flirting with his lover in public, and speaks deliberately. Speaking backwards shows that he is smart and unique. This is not what ordinary people, especially musicians should have. Therefore, Salieri disdains and even doubts his talent. Once the music sounds, As if he heard the divine call of God, Mozart stopped playing and showed off his musical talents in front of everyone. At the same time, he was extremely confident, always laughing presumptuously.
The word humility does not apply to geniuses, because humility will only cover up their brilliance and talents. People who don’t know how to be humble are also destined to suffer. Some people in this world who are too talented will cause others to suffer. Envy, because these people can’t bear the inferiority complex brought by their mediocrity, just like the court composer who later killed Mozart, Salieri, may be less accomplished than ordinary people, but when he meets him When he arrived at Mozart, he was worth mentioning. The film begins to recall Mozart from Salieri’s perspective. At this point, Milos Forman did a very good job. Biopics of characters are actually very difficult to shoot. On the one hand, it is necessary to take care of the historical facts such as film materials. On the other hand, it is necessary to appropriately increase the drama in order to create a complete character image. In "The Biography of Mozart", the director chose a composer who was jealous to the death of Mozart to recall that Mozart was very clever. Everyone knows that from the eyes of a jealous person, he sees another person who is more talented than himself. It was full of very complicated feelings, just like Salieri. On the one hand, he hated Mozart. Not only did he take away his own scenery and even the feelings of his own woman, on the other hand, he was Mozart was impressed by his amazing talent, and he even sighed, "Only I know Mozart's music best in this world".
In addition to Salieri, those high-ranking officials in the court are also enemies everywhere with Mozart, because they can't stand a young man who is so proud and confident, likes exaggerated laughs, and doesn't pay attention to etiquette so presumptuous, so Mozart's He has always been with poverty all his life, because he always cannot get reuse from the court, but these have not hindered his creation. In his life, he has created a large number of operas, symphonies and concertos, etc., precisely because of his love of music, Working desperately, Salieri took advantage of this to put him alive to death, leaving behind an unfinished Requiem, Mozart, a wizard in the music industry, who only lived to thirty-five years old. , But more than 600 works.
The last few scenes of the film are heartbreaking. The dead Mozart was put in an ordinary coffin. Except for those acquaintances in his life who said goodbye to the genius's departure, no more people came to the funeral. , Compared with Beethoven’s funeral, it was much shabby, and when the carriage pulled his coffin out of the city, and then a few people poured his body into a pile of dead people’s pit and buried him hastily, I began to feel desperate for the world , How can you treat a great musician like this? So that later people don't know where the great man was buried. . . .
I always think that Milos Forman is the first person to make biopics. He can always find the right plot and angle from a bunch of character materials to shoot these great characters, such as "Mozart", "On the Moon" "The Man" is like this, and the most valuable thing is that there are no cumbersome details in his movie, the plot is compact, the performance is in place, the whole movie is watched in one go, and he is a truly good director.
