HOMEPAGE

This website intends to examine the nature of the film AMADEUS. The reliability of specific scenes, as well as the portrayal of the characters, the music, and the staging. To what extent Mozart's life may indeed be captured on screen and if so, how accurate that depiction is, poses a question without a simple yes or no answer. Therefore, evidence is presented illustrating both aspects of the argument, demonstrating the complexity of the past and the nature of a film as a reliable source from which objective historical material may be drawn. Yet, whether this is traditional textbook, 'proper history', or simply another interpretation of notable facts interspersed and hyperbolized for the entertainment industry is yet to be proven .
