Amadeus

When I was in 6th grade, our music teacher made us do a short report on Mozart.  None of us had any clue who the guy was… and we didn’t really care.  She was notably frustrated with us.  Too bad this movie wasn’t out, we could have just watched it instead, we’d probably have gotten a lot more out of it.  Sure, the movie isn’t 100% historically accurate, but I think it captures the spirit of Mozart and his music very well.  My favorite 10 seconds was the scene where Mozart is first introduced, he’s messing around with his girl and his music starts playing without him.  He immediately becomes serious – transported to another state of mind.
