Amadeus - The Making off - 2/6

Amadeus is a 1984 drama film directed by Miloš Forman. Based on Peter Shaffer's stage play Amadeus, the film is based very loosely on the lives of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonio Salieri, two composers who lived in Vienna, Austria, during the later half of the 18th century.

The film was nominated for 53 awards and received 40, including eight Academy Awards (including Best Picture), four BAFTA Awards, 4 Golden Globes, and a DGA Award. In 1998, Amadeus was ranked the 53rd best American movie by the American Film Institute on its AFI's 100 Years... 100 Movies list. However, the movie dropped off the AFI's 10th anniversary edition of the list in 2007.

Ps and no dis to Tom Hulce, but who has ever met Ameadeus him self? So yeah Tom did a great interpretation of him. but who knows how he was ? Again F Murry Abraham portrayed a man of pure hate and envy. my goodness he even threw jesus christ the crucifix on the fire. For me he convinced me hate exists. Thats why he was acknowledged...

[drstew1]

The fact that the role F Murry Ab played made me hate him ,this is  a good actor. Otherwise why bother?
