For biographical films, a good angle of entry is really important. There are many wonderful things about Wang Zhen's statement.
In this film, Mozart is the protagonist, and it seems that he is not the protagonist. But I think number one is definitely Salieri.
There may really be two such people in the world: one who is brilliant and effortless, a gift from God, and the other who is not mediocre, but always below it. Perhaps the most hateful thing is that they just met and lived in a range.
Salieri hated Mozart's genius, but he was also the only one who knew Mozart's music best and was a true admirer of Mozart. God gave him the vision to know talents, but he could no longer give him the same talent as Mozart.
As a senior, he actually had no reason to be jealous of Mozart. He was jealous of him for no reason at all, neither out of nostalgia for his status as a composer at the court, nor out of an extreme love for music. Mozart's talent was far beyond him, and he knew it from the first time he saw him. But he still insisted on unilaterally going on this already doomed contest.
Maybe jealousy is this state of mind sometimes.
It is accustomed to transfer dissatisfaction with oneself to dissatisfaction with God's creation, and then point to a specific person through dissatisfaction with God, and this person is usually by his side. Because to vent, to take revenge, to that person, to the whole world.
The image of Mozart in the film is really unexpected. Is this really the case with Mozart in history? It's an interesting question.
Looking at it, it seems that this Mozart has merged with the one in his mind. The aura of talent cannot be concealed.
His slightly neurotic laughter, his exaggerated expression that he can never restrain, he confidently declares that he is obsessed with music. Mozart is not a perfect man, but he has his likability. The director did not flatten anyone. The outline of everyone comes from the most life lines.
Music is an integral part of the film. Those soothing or exciting music, those operas of different styles, make the film exude the atmosphere of music everywhere, and it seems that most of the music comes from Mozart's hands and is his original work. It feels very classic. If you have time, be sure to find those pieces by Mozart and listen to them.
