Summary: Excellent and refreshing interpretation of musical genius
Review: The underlying theme here is that genius is given by God sometimes to those who may not deserve it. I pitied Salieri in this film. Excellent acting by F. Murray Abraham. The interaction between Salieri and Mozart during the composition of the Requiem is fascinating.

Summary: Great movie
Review: Good performances by Tom Hulce and especially Murray F. Abraham and a great music score! The visuals are also excellent. Although the film is not a completely accurate portrayal of Motzart's life, it is nevertheless a great story! I had no problems with the image at all (at least on my 32" TV -- I wouldn't know about high-end projection systems). I'd recommend it to anyone, especially if you like Mozart's music!

Summary: The lowest video quality you could find on a DVD
Review: I live in france and the only solution i had to have this film was to buy the Zone 1 version. U couldn't imagine how deep my deception was. It was impossible to focus, the picture seems to be filtred like in the worse david Hamilton's film. To complete, the disc is two sided and nothing aware you at the end of the first side. I suggest you to buy the CD and to close your eyes to see the film

Summary: Wonderful masterpiece....
Review: The best movie chronicling the life of a composer I have seen to date. Except, the storyline involving Salieri's connection to Mozart's death, isn't exactly factual, it was clever to assume so. Tom Hulce as Mozart gives a breathtaking performance. He becomes the character. I loved his crazy laugh! This is definitely a movie to see - it was quite epic for me.

Summary: Nice movie
Review: I had no problems at all with my copy of this DVD. Judging from another review, however, there are bad copies out there so don't be afraid of the return policy. They must have done multiple printings of the disk because my movie is entirely on one side, not two sided as others have said. Anyway, the movie itself is enjoyable, the score is beautiful, Tom Hulce and F Murray Abraham give nice performances, and the visuals are nice. This movie is much more fun when you view Mozart as he would be in modern times: The most outrageous rock and roll icon of our time. When you compare his life to that of some of our own musical legends that died young, you see a lot of parallels, and to me, that makes the character much easier to identify, and therefore sympathize, with.

Summary: Thinkable movie, but too crucial.
Review: In my opinion, this movie is really crucial. It shows the exactly how Mozart died..and it was so sad even i could cry. and I hope he didn't die... but great great movie...

Summary: Excellent!
Review: Aside from the many factual inaccuracies, I enjoyed this film! The opera scenes are breathtaking, and that casting was very well done. Salieri was played out well, calm, cool, but always plotting, and Mozart and his bufoonish laugh...It really brought out the point that genius can be held in the most unlikely places. Bravo!

Summary: This is the best movie of all time!
Review: Tom Hulce made the part of Mozart beautiful and unexpected. He was not a snotty, depressed and distant composer, but a lively, funny and (good looking) young man. I love this movie, it's my favorite, please watch it; I highly recommend it!

Summary: Absolutely the worst video quality I have seen
Review: I don't think Warner Brothers could have found a poorer print to make this dvd from. I couldn't even focus on the movie because of the amount 'specs' and 'flakes' present throughout the presentation. I had to do a double take to make sure I had a dvd on rather than a worn rental video tape. There was also some of the worst digital video breakup around minute 98 that I have seen from a dvd. Also, although not stated anywhere, the disc is two-sided and requires you to flip it over at the end of side one. I wasn't aware of it and when side one was complete, it just went to the menu. No mention to flip the disc over or anything. just unbelievably bad. I am extremely disappointed in this dvd and would strongly suggest you not purchase it. If you do, be sure you express your displeasure with Warner brothers as I have.
