The loneliness of genius and the carnival of the flesh

AMADEUS, this should be the foreign name of the movie called Mozart.
It appeals to me. From the very beginning, starting from the old court musician, I had a guess in my mind-because in a film like this one cannot but relate to a theme-genius and mediocrity.

The movie confirms my guess at the end. In that oppressive space, the nurse pushed the mediocre person who was full of jealousy but full of admiration for genius, to the bed that belonged to him, and the tomb that belonged to him.

Yes, they are all like this, they all occupy the same bed, and they all look the same, why do you, why do Mozarts speak for God? Why did you choose? In the film, Mozart, at the end of his life, went to borrow money from the nobleman, but he refused. Mozart said: I contribute my talents to the world, and you have wealth, why can't you lend me? God, dear friends, don't think this is ridiculous, this is really a very confusing question for those great geniuses.

However, this world is not composed of pure spirit, and no one can label spirit as superior or inferior. It's still the human body that rolls around - the same eyes shining, the same breath of earthly air, the same so-called love, so real, so unquestionable, genius? ! Where are you? Who blocked you? Mozart, aren't you also thrown into a pit after your death like a commoner, lightly covered with snow? Because of the existence of these bodies, we have other things, and we do not want any genius - we want silver, we want nobility, we want cars and BMWs, we want infinite bright times and progress.

The only thing we don't care about is genius - arrogant, conceited, unfit, neurotic, not a good husband to be a man, a leader who doesn't know how to play tricks, and a successful person who doesn't make hype. !

That's it, that's how we fight the unequal spirit with our equal bodies. Here lies the deepest sorrow: the same sorrow as that of the court musician called Salieri. - God, you let me live, and gave me yearning and desire for beauty, but why didn't you give me genius and give it to others? God, why do you favor a part of your people and ignore the majority of your people? Is this part of your plan? According to such a plan, you made this world have so many love and hatred, so many stories like this movie?

    The movies I watched in the college music elective class may be the only comfort in that crazy and absurd time.

    The filming of the film disappointed me too much, perhaps because I had too high expectations for the film. In any case, Mozart is unacceptable, but his composable music chapters are so artful. It is an elephant-invisible art. What must be said is Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 23 in A major, which is not mentioned in the movie, this Mozart music that has not been taken seriously enough, this Mozart music that I love.

Amadeus quotes

  • Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: It's unbelievable, the director has actually torn up a huge section of my music. They say I have to rewrite the opera. But it's perfect as it is! I can't rewrite what's perfect!

  • Constanze Mozart: Wolfie, I think you really are going mad. You work like a slave for that idiot actor who won't give you a penny. And here, this is not a ghost! This is a real man who puts down real money. Why on earth won't you finish it? Can you give me one reason I can understand?

    Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: It's killing me.
