Amadeus

This will be my 1st official post. I just came back from KL yesterday with all my ex 1F03 classmates. The trip was fun. Lots of food. Will talk more about it when i received the pictures from Chia and Dora. I watched Amadeus today. Quite a long movie, 2.5 hours. It's a very nice show, marvelous, high recommended. It's about wolfgang amadeus mozart and Salieri, a court musician. It's very emotional and just exactly portray one of the most devilish human nature, jealousy. Salieri, was not born to be a musician. However, he loves music, his passion of music was tremendous and finally, one day after his father had died, he had the chance to get involved in music and was appointed by the Emperor as his assistance, piano teacher and court musician. He composed 40 operas, some marches and other form of music. He believes in GOD, whom he prayed to him since he was young to be musician. Now, knowing that GOD listened to his prayer, he promised to write music for GOD and only him. He had lived half of his life where pple praised him and was well taken care of by the royal family.

However, all these change when Mozart appeared. He was prodigy, genius the perhaps the best composer ever known at that period of time. He wrote a concerto when was only 7, a opera when he was 12 and a full length concerto at 14. Never had Salieri since such a talent in his life. He never deny Mozart's talent and ability. But as time goes by, lots of attention was on Mozart ever since he started serving in the royal family as a musician too. Mozart improvises Salieri's work on the spot, composed lots of excellant operas, stole his women and endanger his position as a court musician. This is made worst when the innocent minded Mozart, who dont like and dont know about politics did things unknowingly and hurt Salieri. Salieri was jealous and did everything he can to harm Mozart. Salieri was accused to cause Mozart's death. However, according to research, Mozart's death was uncertain. Some speculated that it could be influenza, mercury poisoning or rheumatic fever. But in his death record, it was recorded that he was suffering from sever miliary fever.

Jealousy. Salieri, prayed hard since young to be a musician. He got it and started losing it. His passion to music was tremendous. But He denied GOD in his late life and planned all evil plots to harm mozart. Mozart, a dirty young genius, who fool and play around. He composes work of high standard and perhaps one of the best operas till now. Well, perhaps we need to know that there are definately pple out there better than us. However, what is most important is do we do the best that we can? Do we put in our best effort? We are who we are. Comparing ourself with others in a negative way will just drive us crazy.

alright. tired alr. ciao.. nitez
