believe that there are two ways to critique Peter Shaffer's Amadeus. The first, and the easiest for me, is as an artistic work only. As an artistic endeavor, Amadeus is a triumph. Particularly stunning is F. Murray Abraham's performance as the tortured Court Composer Antonio Salieri. Abraham portrays a talented yet mediocre musician who, having revered God all his life, shows us clearly that "pride goeth before the fall". It is Salieri's greed for fame, and pride in his own "moral goodness"
The film strategically switches between the narration of Saleri and flashbacks of his story (Forman). Paired with the exceptional filming, acting, and music, Forman and his crew make a patchwork masterpiece. Antonio Saleri, played by F. Murray Abraham, is portrayed as a godly man devoting his life to good deeds in the hopes of becoming an adored musician. On the other hand, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, played by Tom Hulce, is portrayed as an immoral, obnoxious fool of a man. The two musicians

Over the time of her enlistment, Hopper developed several new programming languages, including COBOL, which is still one of the most used programming languages today. Hopper was also one of the first people to coin the term “computer bug”. Over the course of her life, Grace Hopper influenced many people through her service in the military and led a movement in modern
In Milos Forman’s AMADEUS, the scene involving Mozart’s Requiem is the most significant in the movie. Throughout the film the main protagonist is composer Antonio Salieri, played by actor F. Scott Abraham, who is retelling the story of his musical career along with that of well-known composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, played by actor Tom Hulce, and how both composers intertwined. Both are seen as foils in terms of characteristics Mozart the more brazen and childish at moments. Salieri’s ambitions
Milos Forman's Amadeus is wonderful, beautiful, unique and charming. I adore it, but not for my fixation on Mozart, because its beautifully/brilliantly made a piece of art. What society finds difficult to understand is that the movie is Salieri's, and isn't about Mozart himself, nor about the composer. Amadeus emphasizes Salieri's obsession with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Though, Mozart is unforgettably played by Tom Hulce, that the viewer has no other option to think of him as the central figure.
an amazing movie about how an older man and a young adult become friends and mentors to each other. It is a wonderful movie directed by Gus Van Sant and has Sean Connery playing the role of William Forrester, Rob Brown as Jamal Wallace, and F. Murray Abraham as Professor Robert Crawford. Finding Forrester would be classified as a drama. The film starts off with young Jamal Wallace playing basketball with his friends on the basketball court below an apartment building where they often catch a man
We then get to the area the speech was being held and we see a statue of Abraham Lincoln sitting in a chair with Martin Luther King Jr. standing in front of it. When he began his speech King was monotone in voice and stature. There was no emotion showing through the beginning stages of his speech. He made little to no eye contact
“The study of the structure, functioning and performance of organisations, and the behaviour of groups and individuals within them” Derek Pugh’s (1971) This influential definition of organisational behaviour was by Derek Pugh in 1971. Human behaviour is the way people act and react to situations and circumstances, each individual is different, therefore it is essential for an organisation to study human behaviour in order to understand the workforce. By observing and understanding each individual
of the film forward in order to illustrate the power of kindness and the positive results that it can have on our lives. Over the course of the film, the narrator for the majority of the movie, Zero Moustafa (played by both Tony Revolori and F. Murray Abraham) reflects on his life as a young lobby boy at the Grand Budapest Hotel who is mentored by Monsieur Gustave, the owner and manager of the building. Throughout the majority of the film, there are multiple acts of kindness that Monsieur Gustave
