What are the historical inaccuracies in the movie, Amadeus?!


Question: What are the historical inaccuracies in the movie, Amadeus!?
Answers:
There are many!. First of all much of the play/film that deals with Mozart's relationship with the Emperor actually happened to his Librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte!. Mozart was never as poor as is suggested he was solidly middle class, he just wasn't rich!. Most of all Salieri had nothing whatever to do with his death and had no reason to be jealous during Mozart's lifetime since he was more successful in every way!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I watched the directors cut not to long ago and I realized that it never once said he was poor but made it seem this way!. He did indeed die in debt like the movie suggested!. The movie shows him being buried in an unmarked grave but this was not because he was a bad composer this was because their happened to be a plague at this time!. And in the director's cut they took out the part with Saleniri posioning him and made it seem like it was just the music that killed him (which wasn't true it was Rheumautic Fever)!. There are quite a few more many hf posted above me!. The movie is based off of a play by the same name by Peter Chauffer!. He used Mozart as the character in this play but never intended it to be historically accurate!. He didn't care about the history he wanted his story about Jealously and humanity!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

There's really no way to prove it, but modern day scholars say that W!.A!. Mozart actually suffered from Tourette's Syndrome!. This would explain his sudden outburst of laughter which they so frequently touted in the film!.

Just a little tidbit for you, and not really an inaccuracy!. The first two answers seem to cover the inaccuracies quite well!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

In the movie, his running shoes were Nikes!. Really he wore Adidas!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
