I hated the movies as well, and felt as if I was alone in that. I hated the
costumes and the wigs, and I hated the made up story. Even more so in the
fact that so many people dont get that movies about real people do nothave
to be true! People do take them as gospel.

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.
