The film Amadeus was directed by Milos Foreman and it was released in the year 1984. The film goes over the conflict between the two composers Mozart and Antonio Salieri. The film is very interesting if you're a person who enjoys watching biographies or if you're a person who likes to watch musical films. The film was also a big critical success, having received 40 different awards. Both F. Murray Abrahma and Tom Hulce, Salieri and Mozart respctively, do a fine job with the roles they are given. The film does have a lot of references to God as shown through Salieri's jealousy of Mozart's skills as a composer. There's a small chance that if one were to watch this that they may want to do a little background check on the composers featured in the film. Plus if you love classical music then you get to enjoy both worlds.
The soundtrack to the film Amadeus mainly consists of material composed by Mozart. If you have ever listened to Mozart then you should know what to expect from this. For those of you that are not privy to Mozart's work then all you need to know is that his music is basically uptempo classical music. A particular favorite of mine is Mozart's first movement of his Piano Concerto in D Minor. Now there are songs on here that were composed by Salieri, Giuseppi Giordani, and Giovanni Pergolesi. So out of 30 tracks, 27 of them are by Mozart. This is a great collection of Mozart's work, plus it's easy to find.
