Amadeus is a tragic operatic romance that tells the life of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, but it is seen from the point of view of his contemporary, leading adversary, Antonio Salieri. This would give the film a chance to move backstage in 18th-century Vienna as the characters in this film employ everything to thread themes of envy and genius. Salieri is a God addict. He reveres the divine talent that Mozart is but rages with jealousy over the seeming ease with which Mozart evinces such musical brilliance. As Mozart's fame grows and his brilliant career unfolds, Salieri's inner anger starts finding ways onto pages of history, sabotaging Mozart's career out of desperation.
