Amadeus

F. Murray Abraham, Tom Hulce, Elizabeth Berridge
Directed by Milos Forman
Rating: B

A jealous composer threatens to harm Mozart’s career while never actually coming out as his rival.

Mozart’s (Hulce) arrival in Vienna stirs some excitement among the emperor and his councilors, but his appearance is not what they expected. The emperor’s music composer, Salieri (Abraham), is struck by Mozart’s compositions, believing that Mozart is a vessel through which God shares music with. When Salieri meets a giggling, vulgar young man, he is repulsed and upset with God.
