The narrative of Vienna, the background of Prague

There has never been a movie, I watched the end credits from beginning to end in detail, and the piano piece in D minor fascinated me. I want to make sure who played the beautiful music and where it was recorded; of course, I want to make sure that the streets and alleys that I am familiar with are actually Prague.

The answer is self-evident. The winter I went to Prague also had a snow that was thick enough to cover my knees, a sunny afternoon, and a cloud of inescapable haze. Walking in the narrow and well-preserved 18th-century streets is like walking in the imaginary space constructed by those old books, but you can't find the end.

Vienna is the witness of Mozart's career, and Prague is the nobleman to which Mozart won praise. In October 1787, Mozart dedicated "Don Juan", which describes the extravagant life of the upper class aristocracy, to the Dier Theater (now the Prague National Theater). The mottled brick and earth traces on the outer wall of this theater make you have to recall those applause and encouragement more than 200 years ago. The interior of the theater may have been refurbished, or even more spacious than it was when the movie was filmed, but the look remains the same. The narrow stage is far from the grandeur and grandeur of the Vienna State Opera. However, this is a stage that carries hope, a stage that carries dignity, and a sacred stage that has experienced the baptism of years.

All of the film's story takes place in Vienna, but all of the setting is in Prague. The splendid palace was stepped on in the old house of an earl; the scene where Mozart's coffin was seen at the end of the film was shot outside the famous Prague castle. Anyone who has been to Prague can hardly forget those old buildings, alleys, and no matter how bad the weather is, the city will never fade due to gloom.

After watching Mozart, I want to go to Prague again.

    The movie joins a third party of God out of thin air, Salieri confessed to the priest, attributed Mozart's talent to God's gift, and regarded his jealousy as a confrontation against God. Without this perspective, the entanglement between the two is only entanglement. Joining the level of God becomes the destiny of geniuses transcending the age.

    Too upright, too upright. The art is exquisite, and the drama has a degree of relaxation. The relationship between sound and picture is a model of "spatiality of sound". In fact, afterwards Mozart and Salieri both had a sigh of sympathy. Two of them, one was misunderstood by God and the other was misunderstood by the world. The last paragraph of "forgiveness mediocrity" is very tense...

Amadeus quotes

  • Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: [suddenly realizing] My music... they started without me!

  • Antonio Salieri: [to Father Vogel] So rose the dreadful ghost from his next and blackest opera. There, on the stage, stood the figure of a dead commander. And I knew, only I understood that the horrifying aparition was Leopold, raised from the dead! Wolfgang had actually summoned up his own father to accuse his son before all the world! It was terrifying and wonderful to watch. And now the madness began in me. The madness of the man splitting in half. Through my influence, I saw to it Don Giovanni was played only five times in Vienna. But in secret, I went to every one of those five, worshipping sounds I alone seem to hear. And hour after hour, as I stood there, understanding how that bitter old man was still possessing his poor son even from beyond the grave. I began to see a way, a terrible way, I could finally triumph over God.
