WORTH CONSUMING!
I don’t care if and to what degree this is historically inaccurate. It was cute. I went through a time period when I was madly in love with Mozart’s music and then spurned it for being overly dramatic, but the movie definitely made me love him and his music again. It spins a wonderful story out of his life and his music, especially the requiem, which is lovely because the music is so familiar to everyone. And as the daughter of a mother who majored in piano and forced me to start playing since before I can remember, I can definitely relate at least a little bit to the decidedly insane Salieri. It’s just not fair that some people are capable of composing entire symphonies for the king at the age of 8 or some crap like that when I could barely play scales at 8.
