The film narrates the contradictions and conflicts between Mozart and the Italian composer Antonio Salieri of the Vienna court band. Mozart eventually died young, while Salieri became mediocre and obscure in his later years.
In the film "Mozart", a large number of symphonies, concertos, etc. are used, covering most of Mozart's works. The film did not copy rigidly, but combined the development of the plot, selected the most suitable music, and promoted the development of the film plot through music to create an excellent vocal environment, which played a great role in the expression of the film's content.
The opening of the film uses the overture of one of Mozart’s most famous operas "Don Giovanni" as the opening music of the film, accompanied by the important character Salieri shouting guiltily: "Mozart! Mozart!" . Tell us straightforwardly that this is a story about genius. Later, as Salieri remembered, we were in the court party where he and Mozart met for the first time. As audiences, we heard Mozart's performance for the first time in a real sense. Mozart was playing around with his fiancée at the time, and what interrupted them was the second chapter of Mozart's "No. 10 Wind Serenade". The oboe played a slow introduction, which was so graceful that it could not be added. After a series of upward transition sentences on the clarinet, the band played the third movement, which is a typical Mozart characteristic, which is a melody with simple and luxurious swirling decorative sounds. The first meeting with Mozart still made Salieri jealous. After Mozart changed the welcome song composed for him by Salieri, the conflict escalated.
The film is more impressive. Mozart’s wife came to Salieri with Mozart’s original manuscript without authorization, hoping to get his recommendation to get a court position. When Larry Elli read Mozart’s music score, the music was based on the most popular scores. Wonderful music fragments sounded. First, the adagio movement of "C Major Concerto for Flute and Harp" sounded, then the first movement of Symphony No. 29, the third movement of the two piano concertos, the first movement of the fourth violin concerto, the opera soprano aria Appearing one after another, these breathtakingly beautiful melodies are original manuscripts without the slightest modification, that is to say, they flowed out of Mozart's mind and were made in one go. Salieri's eyes were moist, and he was impressed by Mozart's amazing musical talent, but he even felt that God had treated him unfairly. God only gave this gift to Mozart.
The precious thing about Mozage is that he not only has unparalleled talents in the world, but also has a passion for music without distractions, an unruly heart yearning for freedom, and because of his self-confidence, he does not want to be constrained by the arrogance of the royal family and aristocracy. This also means that Mozart will be in financial difficulties. With the arrival of his father, the prelude to "Don Juan" will begin. Father appeared in the stairwell dressed up in black, and the two heavy chords reminded people, which made people tremble, including later, every time Salieri dressed up as a man in black to urge Mozart to complete the score, there was "Tang The prelude chords of "Huang" sounded, as if to herald the tragedy of Mozart.
Salieri began to use his power to obstruct Mozart's creation and performance, inciting a group of mediocre but unwilling people like him to form an opposition force. After Mozart experienced various setbacks, he finally conquered the Austrian royal family with his own music, and then "The Marriage of Figaro" was staged. The more brilliant and creative place that Mozart felt was the seventh act of the seventh act. Including: soprano, mezzo soprano, tenor, baritone, bass. This is a famous transcript. The brilliant talent of Mozart in Salier, who understands music, is both jealous and admired. Facing Mozart's music can only make his failure more miserable.
After the success of "The Marriage of Figaro", Mozart returned home happily, only to hear the sad news of his father's death. Subsequently, the prelude to the opera "Don Juan" sounded, and the screen shifted to Mozart's conduct of the opera "Don Juan". This is the darkest of Mozart's three major operas. The duet of a baritone and two basses interweaves the tremor of the soul. This passage is the only dark light in Mozart's work. As soon as the samurai appeared on the stage, the gloomy and depressing atmosphere immediately enveloped everything, and the opera instantly changed from a comedy to a formal drama. Mozart's bohemian and cynical past was wiped out, and what was left was the palpitating tension and fear. Salieri believes that Don Juan is alluding to Mozart himself, and the undead in black represents Mozart's dead father, Leobo. He firmly believes that Mozart awakens his sleeping father through music, and blames his unscrupulous son in front of the world. The psychological oppression of this duet not only gave Salieri, but also gave Mozart an incomprehensible destructive power. Salieri began to understand how to kill Mozart, using Mozart's guilt and regret towards his father. So he disguised as the man in black that Mozart's father had once dressed up, and urged Mozart to complete "Requiem" all day long. Mozart's spirit fell into intense tension and anxiety.
What impressed me most was the end of the film, which was also the climax of the film. Mozart was sent home by Sagani after he was exhausted from conducting the opera, but Salieri ignored Mozart's serious illness and continued to urge him to finish "Requiem" under the guise of the life of the man in black. Mozart dragged the sick body, briefly summarized, written by Sagueney. Mozart's genius is undoubtedly revealed again in this D minor Requiem. The call of death aroused his enthusiasm. Mozart fists weakly and vigorously on the sickbed, turning into a beat of one brass instrument and timpani one after another. The French horn's clarification sound resounded in the open field. The eager and nervous little canon seems to be the call of death. The female voice's lingering groaning around the beam seems to be the comfort of God. Sometimes the return carriage with his wife drove in the darkness of dawn, and sometimes showed the warm atmosphere of Mozart's wife hugging her son like a Virgin. In the solemn and solemn atmosphere of religion, Mozart left this unfinished masterpiece.
Of course, in addition to these, there are many combinations of music and plot in the film. Music is used to exaggerate anger, one music promotes the plot, one music lays down the foreshadowing, and one music points out the heart of the characters. For example, when Mozart was fined to play the piano at the masquerade, he spoofed the duet "Ode to Bacchus" in his own opera "Escape from the Harem" in three styles. The first is played in the style of Bach, the music is like a flowing stream. The second is to turn over to play, and the third is to play in Salieri's style. The rhythm is steady and lifeless, and once again mocks the mediocre Salieri. The beating notes are exactly in line with Mozart's cynicism. psychology.
The movie "Mozart" is over, but thinking about the relationship between music and film has just begun. The film has an ups and downs plot, the music also has a beating note, the film has sad or happy scenes, and the music also has a sad or happy melody. The classics of "Mozart" are perfectly combined with the plot and music of the movie, rendering movies with music, and expressing music with movies. Step by step, the grandeur and shock of the music make the whole movie hit people's hearts directly, and the aftertaste is moved for a long time.

    Finally understand why Foreman would film Mozart's story. It is not just a genius who faces the mediocrity of the world, but also a sincere and innocent face with thousands of worldly stereotypes. Some are mediocre and jealous, some are mediocre but don't know Tarzan. How to tell the winner? You listen to whose laughter was at the end, it is a mockery left to the world. (Oscar mentions the double male lead, and the actor belongs to Salieri. The acting skills are indeed higher and it is also an interesting intertext.) From the perspective of the opponent, the darkness of jealousy and the madness of worship are parallel, a classic movie with all-round excellent , But still seems to owe a little Mozart-style genius to burst out unruly. 180 minutes director's cut version
