Plot Summary: Antonio Salieri believes that Mozart's music is divine. He wishes he was himself as good a musician as Mozart so that he can praise the Lord through composing. But he can't understand why God favored Mozart, such a vulgar creature, to be his instrument. Salieri's envy has made him an enemy of God whose greatness was evident in Mozart. He is set to take revenge.

COMMENTS?

Since it's Oscar season, I figured that I should pull out a talkback for one of my favorite BP winners. As a lover of music, it's such a powerful story, based on one of the true geniuses in history.

Also, it's airing tonight on TCM at midnight, if you haven't seen it before.

Poor Salieri.

But yeah, I really liked this one when I saw it ages ago.

[Dr. Insomniac]

Poor Salieri.

I absolve you.

[Spark Of Spirit]

Poor Salieri.

I absolve you.

Just for the record, the historical relationship between Mozart and Salieri wasn't nearly as strained as the original play and movie depict it.
