I preferred the remake which was done from Mozarts POV

>tfw you're the Salieri of your own life

the fuck do you even mean, that's the fucking moral of the story

>Thinking every film has to have a moral
I see you're still in the childhood phase

>>82032388
>implying an artistic endeavor is even capable of lacking implicit meaning, if not explicit, regardless of authorial intent or mass perception.
I see you're still in the adolescence phase

>>82032388
the fuck are you talking about, I didn't say every movie has to have a moral, I'm saying this movie happens to have a moral

>He doesn't watch films edited out of order with a half hour break between each scene to fully appreciate the film without the distraction of any overarching plot or meaning
How's young adulthood treating you?

>>82032153
No, adulthood is actually watching the fucking movie. Try it sometime.

>>82032236
Yeah sure. You'd like that.
Salieri had work ethics, and he gained popularity and wealth even though he didn't have brilliance and his music is generally formulaic and unremarkable.
Nickelback are probably the closest analogy to a modern day Salieri.

Adulthood is realizing they were actually friends and the rivalry was healty and more like silly banter between artists to please the crowd.

>>82032153
So all film/tv/game critics never reach adulthood then?

>>82032594
haha kino xD

>>82032645
Yeah but Nickleback are made fun of all the time whereas Salieri wasn't. I can't think of any bands at the moment but the best modern day analogy for Salieri would simply be some generic band which is successful enough enjoy moderate wealth and success.

To be fair Mozart was trained to be a musical prodigy from birth. Don't get me wrong, he was a very talented musician but if you had trained in something according to a plan that your parents had set out for you since birth then you'd be great at it too. I would argue that Mozart's talent was more due to his upbringing rather than natural talent. There's no guarantee that Salieri or anyone for that matter wouldn't have shown the same talent if they'd had the same upbringing as him. You've really got to wonder how much of his talent was inborn and how much was due to practice.
