Rock Me Amadeus
Pros: acting, story, cinematography, music-of course Cons: that I didn't see it on the big screen 22 years ago Bottom Line: Amadeus, A Perfect Blend of Music, Acting and Story....L-n-M W/O
Pros: Music is pretty good Cons: "Too many notes"? Actually I couldn't find anything lacking. Bottom Line: Peter Shaffer and Milos Forman's "Amadeus" -1984 -The Salieri Connection
Pros: F. Murray Abraham in the role of a lifetime, Hulce,the set, music everything! Cons: Absolutely Nothing Bottom Line: Amadeus The classic about classical composers.
Pros: Superb lead performances, art direction, music and clever narrative. Cons: Occassionally jarring modern intrusions of slang, and American accents. Read More at Epinions.com Freak.
Pros: Pretty much everything... Cons: ...but Constanze and Wolfgang's Texan accents grated me. Bottom Line: A Double Tragedy Backed by a Sublime Soundtrack: Amadeus
Pros: Abraham; Hulce; Jones; the glorious music; creative storytelling technique Cons: The necessary depressing ending Bottom Line: The Only Movie My Dad Owns
Pros: Wonderful performances from Hulce and Abraham, compelling story, unmatched music Cons: Everyone's gonna remember Salieri as a murderer... Bottom Line: My all time favorite movie (WO)
Pros: Every bit of it Cons: None at all Bottom Line: One sees such a film, and what can one say butÂ… Amadeus!
Pros: Superb direction, amazing performances, amazing music. Cons: Some may find Hulce's laugh annoying. Bottom Line: God is a Prankster
Pros: Acting, storytelling, design, and characters were all wonderful Cons: the Mozart character was hard to believe at times, somewhat modern at times Bottom Line: |
