I don’t know how to watch the theatrical cut.

Peter Shaffer wrote Amadeus as a play before it was turned into a film. The play had less scenes with Mozart and focused more on Salieri’s anger with God. Internal religious strife was a common theme in Shaffer’s plays, and was central to his other best known work, Equus. Shaffer added more scenes with Mozart for the film and added some more humor. The broadway premier of the play had Ian McKellen as Salieri, Tim Curry as Mozart, and Jane Seymour as Costanze. While the play/film are fiction in terms of Salieri’s hatred for Mozart, Mozart very much did have a rather juvenile sense of humor, and particularly enjoyed fart/poop jokes, though the childish nature of his character is exaggerated here.

If I remember correctly, Tom Hulce learned to play for this movie, including the part where he's upside down.

Motzart's life is far from a specialty of mine, but you are correct that this film is infamously inaccurate in its portrayal of almost every aspect of his composing and his relationship with Salieri. This isn't a criticism of the film itself, which is masterfully done, but everything it has is based on urban legends and rumors that were either never believed in the first place, or believed but then debunked later. For example, there were rumors that Motzart and Salieri had a bitter rivalry, but Salieri himself denied them to his final days and there's no outside documentation. Motzart also DID need to draft his music and make corrections, the "he writes it perfectly in one go" story came from examining the FINISHED pieces after he had them re-copied. Things like that. It's like if somebody made a celebrity biopic today based solely on what they read in the tabloids. It can still be a great film, but if you try to claim "accuracy" that's a no-go.

Very true. I especially dislike how they portray him as a father and a husband. They show him as unfaithful and as unable to financially support his family, both of which were untrue. I read a translated letter written by Mozart where he says that he is tired of people spreading rumors about him womanising and that he was way too scared of STDs to have more than one partner.

It's a shame the real Mozart had to f it all up by not conforming to the fictionalized masterpiece created about his work. Imagine being the only person in the room (maybe on earth) with the musical knowledge and ability to recognize how great the music is. And that it will live on while yours will disappear. I love the scenes that connect the moments in his life that became immortalized in his work. It was a very powerful stage play, witnessing the overwhelming loathing mixed with self loathing that Salieri had. It is interesting to see this paired with Black Swan which plays in many of the same themes of art and madness. I think the films are similar in tone as well.

As a musician, I find it strange to hear you talk about "the only person with the knowledge and ability to recognize how great the music is". That's like if I make a sandwich and tell everybody that I'm the only person with the knowledge and ability to recognize just how tasty it is. It doesn't make sense. Here is how art works: people in the 1700s were used to 1700s music, but they're also starting to get bored of 1700's music. So Mozart had to make music that was not too different from what they're used to, but not too similar either. Its like he was the Kurt Cobain of his time, helping to establish the grunge era
