Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
This adaptation of the award winning play describes the career, marriage, and death of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756 - 1791).

The TeachWithMovies.com Learning Guide to Amadeus provides historical background as well as discussion questions relating to the view, recurrent in Western Civilization, that music is the voice of God. The film also explores the following dilemma faced by the character of Salieri and by most accomplished and talented human beings: if you are talented, if you spend years in training, if you work hard and if you are acclaimed by your peers for your achievements, how do you react when faced with true genius that easily outshines anything you can hope to accomplish, especially when that genius takes the form of a vulgar little imp?

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

To give you a sense of how our Learning Guides can be used by teachers as lesson plans and by parents to supplement school curriculum or for homeschooling, we have set out below a paragraph from the Learning Guide to Amadeus.
Amadeus is not history. While Salieri and Mozart were rivals in some respects, Salieri did not pay Mozart for a requiem that he could pass off as his own. Someone else did that. Nor was Salieri implicated in Mozart's death, which was from natural causes. Amadeus is a creative work about the jealousy, rage and cosmic betrayal felt by some talented and accomplished human beings who have not been graced with genius.

The Learning Guide to this film contains sections on Benefits of the Movie, Possible Problems, Helpful Background, Discussion Questions, Links to the Internet, and Bridges to Reading. The Discussion Questions are divided into three categories: Subject Matter, Social-Emotional Learning, and Moral-Ethical Emphasis.

A subscription to TeachWithMovies.com will give teachers access to 285 Learning Guides from which they can easily create lesson plans. Click here to subscribe. Learn about Salieri's dilemma and the question it raises in Amadeus for all of us to ponder.
