I forgive you on behalf of mediocrities in the world

After watching "The Biography of Mozart", I thought, what kind of strange feeling would it be if China made a "Biography of Zhuge Liang" and asked Zhou Yu to talk about the Three Kingdoms to the abbot in the temple?

The best thing about "Mozart" lies in its structure. It finds Salieri, a Viennese court musician who has regarded him as his opponent all his life, to recall his life, and narrate it from the perspective of the second person. Demonstrating the genius of a genius, and his unacceptable side, the entire biography is complete and ups and downs. Whether it is Mozart or Salieri, the characters are very vivid and unforgettable.

This sentence echoed in my mind repeatedly. It turns out that the reason why geniuses die early is largely due to the jealousy and obstacles of mediocrities in the world. Geniuses are so rare that it is impossible to cultivate into a genius without any conditions. Most of the talents are so intelligent. Salieri, who surpassed the mortals, was diligent to a certain extent, but in the end he met Mozart. It was an ancient tragedy of "being born to be good, and how to be good."

This is still the case in this world, not to mention geniuses, people who are a little different, all seem to be foreign objects in the eyes of others, like Hu Jinquan and Wang Cailing in "Li Chun". It's hard to be a mortal, but it's better to be a mortal. The saying goes like this: hide in the world, then earn some money and hide in the mountains and forests.

But as mediocrities, we are still working hard, striving to stretch our necks a little among a group of mediocrities. Yi Shu said that it takes too much hard work to do everything very well. When I was sick, when I was eating, and when I couldn't work hard, I thought that if I had the ability, I would work harder. Because I had the ability to work hard, and hard work had spiritual material value. I already felt that it was worth it.

    Finally understand why Foreman would film Mozart's story. It is not just a genius who faces the mediocrity of the world, but also a sincere and innocent face with thousands of worldly stereotypes. Some are mediocre and jealous, some are mediocre but don't know Tarzan. How to tell the winner? You listen to whose laughter was at the end, it is a mockery left to the world. (Oscar mentions the double male lead, and the actor belongs to Salieri. The acting skills are indeed higher and it is also an interesting intertext.) From the perspective of the opponent, the darkness of jealousy and the madness of worship are parallel, a classic movie with all-round excellent , But still seems to owe a little Mozart-style genius to burst out unruly. 180 minutes director's cut version

Amadeus quotes

  • Antonio Salieri: My father, he did not care for music. When I told him how I wished I could be like Mozart, he would say; "Why? Do you want to be a trained monkey? Would you like me to drag you around Europe, doing tricks like a circus freak?"

    [Salieri chuckles ruefully]

    Antonio Salieri: How could I tell *him*... what music meant to me?

  • Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: [to Emperor Joseph II] Sire, only opera can do this. In a play if more than one person speaks at the same time, it's just noise, no one can understand a word. But with opera, with music... with music you can have twenty individuals all talking at the same time, and it's not noise, it's a perfect harmony!
