"All people who make dating L posts on this sub (im including myself in this) need to watch this movie and remember they are Salieri, the guy with a perfectly comfortable life and a world of opportunity availble to him but who would abandon all that to spend a day in the life of the sad dying alcohol"
Amadeus is a movie that perfectly depicts the experience of not having 'It' · u/drunkcheesesandwich · ↑570 · 2026-02-02
"My absolute favourite movie, Amadeus, is not really about Mozart but about Salieri, who wasn't exactly a failure but saw himself as one (at least the heavily fictionalized version)."
