I hate AMADEUS, that Oscar-winning crowd-pleaser with Tom Hulce & Murray Abraham.
That movie is very patronizing (no pun intended) about an extraordinary time & many extraordinary people, Mozart included. I guess the Enlightenment & all its achievements didn't impress Forman.
It was all a pretty facile piece of puncturing, & not very enjoyable. It might have been fun had it been lowbrow rather than middlebrow, but the music & art were treated in a smugly philistine way.
