The review of this Movie prepared by a Level 1 Blue Jay scholar

This is a sumptuous epic celebrating the life and music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Set in 17th-century Vienna, court composer Antonio Salieri is maddened with jealousy discovering that the musical talent he longs for has been given to obnoxious and inappropriate Mozart. Throughout the movie, he plots to destroy Mozart by any means necessary.
