A lot of material in that film was very well researched. This is what my music teacher tells me at least. Some of the stuff in that movie is based upon rumours. Some differences..Mozarts wife didn't leave him in real life because of their relationship, she left to get treated for something. I found it to be a great movie. But WHY WAS SALIERI SO JEALOUS AND PISSED??!?!? By the end of the film Salieri was conducting fantastic operas and Mozarts were not doing to well. AKA the one about his father. His life was falling apart. Why was salieri so jealous. He had money and was famous....I understand about how God sent Mozart to mock him and make him feel mediocre, but still seems a little pointless to me.
