Somewhere on this thread I complained about the violence in SAVAGES. Just gave me a slightly queasy feeling.

Watched AMADEUS after who knows how long. Has anyone NOT seen this movie?
It was sillier than I remembered. Kinda soap operaish. But that last scene with Salieri helping dying Mozart write Requiem is still great.
Too bad it never happened. Like 3/4 of the shit in this movie. Absolutely slanderous toward Salieri, who was cool to Mozart, Beethoven AND Schubert. Quite a guy. As an old man, he did suffer from mental illness and slashed his throat, and he did confess to killing Mozart, but by poison and no one at all took him seriously. Because he was sick.
Taking advantage of a feeble old man for the sake of a story is pretty low.
