Perhaps the film's portrayal of Salieri's character is biased, but the director uses it just right in handling the dramatic conflict.
As a "child prodigy", he showed extraordinary musical talent at the age of three. At eight he wrote his first symphony; at ten he wrote his first opera. The stark contrast between the brilliance of childhood and the constant snubbing in adulthood is the first conflict.
His marriage was not recognized by his father, and he was unwilling to live a servile life under the protection of aristocrats. He resolutely chose to embark on the road of a free musician and left his hometown for Vienna. The days of extreme hardship and embarrassment paved the way, and this is the second conflict.
He is innocent and natural, just like his music, his thoughts are always gushing out like a spring, and he does not need too much decoration and disguise; corresponding to it is the hypocrisy, jealousy, Striving and ostracism also doomed him to a tragic fate that was not understood by the world.
The whole film took a lot of scenes to interpret his famous operas, "The Marriage of Figaro" and "The Magic Flute", all of which reflect Mozart's love and passion for life. The tragic ending, on the day of his death, it was rainy and rainy. He was only pulled by a carriage to the poor cemetery, where he was buried with the homeless, and when the lime was sprinkled, the song ended, leaving only endless desolation and loneliness.
Some people commented that Mozart's laughter in the film is very strange, but I think it not only reflects the purity of his heart, his mockery of the world, and his unwillingness to be bound, but also represents his love for life. Only a person who loves life, in the face of poverty, contempt, and indifference, can conquer constant suffering with continuous creation, cope with cruel reality with eternal optimism, and leave precious spiritual wealth that comforts the world. This is also the beauty of art. the extreme.
In Europe in the 18th century, after the Renaissance, there was another enlightenment movement for ideological liberation, such as the "Furious Advance" movement in Germany. Reflected in the works of art, Mozart's music is also the embodiment of the progressive ideology of this era. Fu Lei has a very incisive sentence: "If Beethoven gave us the courage to fight, then Mozart gave us unlimited confidence." The
film regards Salieri as Mozart's enemy, and it is his conspiracy to get Mozart to compose "Requiem" Song" was the last elegy that Mozart wrote for himself. Regardless of the authenticity of this passage, Salieri's memories are also full of his admiration, appreciation and remorse for this musical genius. No one has ever understood Mozart's heart as well as he did. Is this what the director gave to people? Another consolation? Perhaps, Mozart's life was originally a classic opera, and I only hope that someone can really listen to it.
