I loved Amadeus, it's a fantastic film, I especially loved the final part, with all the Requiem speculation (and to listen to that music is always magic). Even if poor Salieri is portrayed as a villain and it wasn't fair. For instance Salieri introduced Mozart to Bach's music, was the tutor of one of Mozart's sons, and one of Beethoven, Lizt and Shubert's teachers. Moreover Mozart had to admire him since in his Magic flute he basically copied a passage of Salieri's Axur, re d'Ormus that was written 4 years earlier. Forman adapted Amadeus by Shaffer, a modernization of Mozart and Salieri by Pushkin, that was hugely based on rumours.
