In this episode, I do yet another movie review on the all-time most influential film of my life - "Amadeus," the winner of 8 Academy Awards in 1984, including best picture.  In this review, I talk about my own life and how it would not be what it is today had I not first seen this film in my music class in Jr. High. I discuss some of the historical inaccuracies  of this film, which are several, however I also discuss how the filmmakers never intended this to be an historically accurate screen biography of Mozart's life.  I also discuss some differences between the historical Mozart and Salieri with their screen and play counterparts, some of the differences between the theatrical cut and the director's cut for Amadeus, and why I believe the original theatrical cut is superior to the director’s cut. I also discuss some of the differences between the play and screen versions of this story.
