Amadeus

I've never personally watched an Aleta before and hence, this review is solely based on my limited grasp of the play.
Where do I start! The play is more than just about rivalry or envy, it is about love and compassion. Love that is destructive and compassion that burns ones own soul. Both Salieri and Mozart love their work, to an extent that destroyed them. Salieri destroyed himself not just out of envy for Mozart's talent but despise for his own limits.
"Yet he from the ordinary created legends- and I from legends created only the ordinary."
There are moments of joy, and moments of cruel defeat right in the immediate. There is love and there is envy bordering on hatred. The play is awfully dark, and yet funny. It's a whole lot of paradoxes. There is expected mortality, yet immortality coming out of it.
"Something immortal- yet stinking of death. Indestructible- and yet rotting!"
The play is unbearably human. You feel disgust, pity and love, all the same.
It's beautiful. Give it a read.

I don't know if you've seen the film, but you should. I gather it's different from the play (which I haven't seen), but it's brilliant. Plus, you get a lot of Mozart's music into the bargain (and even a bit of Salieri's...)
