Bjarne: I don't remember the costumes from Amadeus very clearly, were they really that bad? I don't like that movie at all. I got the chance to hear the man who wrote the play speak once, and it made me so furious! I really don't mind what sort of messages people want to make in plays or movies, as long as they make up the stories. But I hate it when they use real people and change their life stories.
The story of Amadeus has very little to do with the real Mozart. He did not live in terror of his father, he was very fond of him. And of course Salieri didn't kill him. I know we are all supposed to be sophisticated people who know the difference between a story and real life. But many, many people who are sophisticated enough to understand that Salieri didn't really murder Mozart still think, because of the movie or play, that his father was a terrible monster, and that he ended up in a pauper's grave. I think that is a terrible thing to do to someone's memory. Sigh.
