The film begins with the Austrian court musician Salieri confessing to the priest. The young musician Mozart's death is related to his unforgivable jealousy and entrapment. In 1782, 42 years ago, Salieri moved from a remote town to Vienna and worked as a court musician in the palace of Joseph II. Unexpectedly, I was fascinated by Mozart’s music. Once in the bishop’s house, I finally met Mozart, who had been admired for a long time. This person said that he wrote concertos at the age of 4, wrote symphonies at the age of 7, and wrote large operas at the age of 11. The great musician turned out to be a bohemian. Cynical and very arrogant young people.
Joseph II loved music. He heard that Mozart came to Vienna and met him. The king played a piece composed by Salieri to welcome Mozart and asked for his opinion on the piece. Mozart praised the piece and played it again. Once again, playing and revising the music to make the tune smoother and full of enthusiasm. After wondering, Sarrielli was ashamed of why Mozart was so talented, but he was so mediocre.
Because of the king's love, Mozart stayed in Vienna to write operas. His operas "Escape from the Harem" and "The Marriage of Figaro" are all immortal works. Because of Salieri's work and the king's signature, each play will be performed for no more than a week, so Mozart's income is very high. Less, living in poverty.
Mozart’s wife Constance couldn’t stand the torture of poverty, so she took Mozart’s manuscripts to see Sarrielli, begging him to find a position as a royal music teacher for Mozart. Sarrielli looked through the thick manuscripts. He was stunned, there was no trace of revision on the manuscript, all the notes were made in one go. He was intoxicated and in pain. He complained about why God gave Mozart wisdom and talent. He angrily threw the cross engraved with Jesus into the fireplace.
While pretending to be the person who cared about Mozart the most, Sarrielli was torturing him mentally. He dressed as a black man came to buy music from Mozart, forcing him to constantly hand over his works in exchange for payment to maintain his life. Mozart 'S body is getting weaker day by day. The opera "The Magic Flute" created by Mozart was staged in the theater. Mozart was the conductor of the band and finally fainted one day in the middle of the performance.
Mozart was ill in bed, and Salieri asked him to write "Requiem". Salieri couldn't wait to imagine that at Mozart's funeral, he played the requiem composed by the dead. His name will live forever with the music master. Endure.
Mozart on the hospital bed was extremely weak and unable to write, Salieri suggested that he should write and Mozart dictated. Mozart's inspiration was like a spring gushing, and Salieri didn't even have time to record it. The tune was finished, and Mozart's fire of life was extinguished. A generation of music masters has forever left the society he cannot adapt to. On the day of the burial, it rained heavily, as if the heavens were crying for him.
After Salieri succeeded, he felt that Mozart was dying day and night, and finally became insane and was sent to a lunatic asylum. As time goes by, Salieri, who was once so powerful, is gradually forgotten, but Mozart's works have become treasures in the temple of human music and will be sung forever in the world.
