His story is told through the eyes of his jealous opposing composer, Antonio Salieri.
It brilliantly shows Mozart's creative process and the scences are edited perfectly with the music being played over.
Tom Hulce beat out David Bowie for the role of the enthusiastic, childish and unpredictable Mozart.
It had some historical inaccuracies, but the film wasn't made to be historically accurate. The film depicts a less formal, more realistic society that isn't usually shown in films about this era.
It is one of the few 80s movies where the electronic music and neon colors from the era don't bleed through and kill the movie.
If you don't like long movies then this isn't for you, it's over two and a half hours. But if do you like classical music this is the perfect film.
Rating: B+, Really good biopic, but it's long and not historically accurate.
