=**Amadeus - movie summary**=

Amadeus was set back in olden times, in a town called Vienna. Vienna is known for it’s music and opera. There are two main characters; Salieri and Mozart. Mozart has been making making music since he was four because of the pressure that his father puts on him. Salieri is a natural performer but his father doesn’t like the art of music and refuses to let him compose and write. Salieri father dies later on and he thanks God. Amadeus was always secretly competing with Mozart. Mozart can not be taken seriously and is always fooling around with his wife to be. Opera was the most popular music back in the 1830’s. Mozart performed to the archbishop and was recommended to “Russell” (he approves the opera for the court). Mozart is constantly making a fool of himself and has a known laugh. Mozart marries his woman. Salieri forces Mozarts wife to offer herself or Salieri won’t mention Mozart's work to the higher court. Salieri panics and runs away and Mozart’s wife is concerned for their currency, for Mozart hasn’t been working, he has just been writing a ‘new piece’. Mozart’s father has died and has now been haunting Mozart. Mozart then becomes addicted to different medications and is constantly drinking. He has been leaving his child and wife at home while he has been partying and writing music. Meanwhile Salieri has been planning Mozart's death and Mozart's family has decided to leave. Mozart performed an opera and falls asleep halfway through and Salieri decides to take Mozart home. Salieri forces him to write an opera that was apparently due the next day. Mozart's family returns back whilst he was writing the opera with Salieri and Mozart slowly dies whilst talking with his son. Salieri then confesses in later years to a priest that he did not kill Mozart.
