Day 23: Amadeus

Amadeus / 1984 / USA / Miloš Forman
6.7 / 10



   This was the first time I watched Amadeus. What a disappointment. 
   First of all, this is not a movie about Mozart, this is a movie about Salieri and jealousy.
   The movie is way too long, silly, irritating, and to be honest I was never engaged either by the story either by the actors. 
   The art direction and costume design are good. The sets are extremely beautiful. But that, by itself,  doesn't make a motion picture.
   Only have one question I would like to actually get an answer for: why in the world is this film in English?
