Amadeus through the mediocre court composer Salieri let us see the glory and genius of Mozart, but also reflects the pain and distortion of Salieri's life. Salieri's music also received endless praise at the time (but more because of his position), and Mozart's music sometimes made the court and the emperor feel too much notes and too cumbersome. As the years go by, Salieri's music is slowly forgotten until it is no longer mentioned, but Mozart's music is like grown-up wine, more and more mellow. Salieri lived a respectable life all his life, while Mozart was impoverished all his life. The final scene of the film is a coffin rented by Mozart. The corpse is thrown into the corpses of many mediocre people, nowhere to be found.
What is a genius? A genius is a gift given by God and has nothing to do with personal effort. The body is nothing more than a perishable thing in the mortal world. At the end of the film, the genius has been taken back by God. At this time, we suddenly discover that Mozart's life is only Nanke Yimeng, and he is only a vessel of God. We often say that we should leave the secular world behind, but it is easy to talk about it, because God has given us talents and at the same time throws us into a world full of materialism and gives us mortal bodies. Mozart finally said: I want to sleep for a while. We all breathed a sigh of relief for him. In fact, death has become the most beautiful name at this time, and Mozart can finally rest.
Let’s look at Salieri, the representative of our greatest mediocrity, and finally say: I represent the mediocrities of the past and the future, and forgive you. Throughout the ages, most people have been mediocre people or ordinary people that we claim to be ordinary people. When we are together, we feel that the world is very beautiful, and we live and work in peace and contentment. Suddenly a genius arrived. Our peaceful life was disrupted, and the envy, worship, jealousy, and persecution could not be controlled by us. There was no other reason. It was just because we didn't have that kind of talent, but we did have the desire to get it.
So it’s not terrible to be mediocrity. What’s terrible is that we still have the desire to be geniuses. Becoming a genius is not worth celebrating, because we live in an age of crooked rebellion. If we can choose, which one are we willing to be?
PS: Everything is good in this film, except that sometimes it makes people think that Mozart is an American... It seems that the actors and directors still need more cultural influence...
