Reflection Of The Movie Amadeus

Lucretius in “The Nature of Things” explains that there are only two entities that make up bodies in the universe: matter and void. Matter is ever-present and does not decay while the void is a nothingness that allows for motion and change. Marcus Aurelius in “Meditations” explains that matter and the soul are the components of the universe, with the soul in some sense filling the void. Lucretius’ “void” has a correlation to Aurelius’ “soul.” Both philosophers explain how the concept of the void is responsible and related to death, because it allows for disturbances to the balance within the being. Lucretius believes that the void is the cause of death, yet questions whether the soul travels with it. Aurelius questions how the soul can remain after death. Death is an abstract concept that Lucretius and Aurelius attempt to answer through matter and voids. Lucretius calls the void a nothingness, which is always empty, and matter a solid that is free of any void. Aurelius has an essence of somethingness to his void, the soul, and calls matter a static body. By adding the soul as a third component to reality, the Stoic Marcus Aurelius rejects the binary universe of Lucretius.

The storyline of Amadeus, which is based on the original play of the same title written by Peter Shaffer, mainly revolves around the entire life of Mozart and his music. Basically, the movie’s plot is based on the rumor that Salieri poisoned Mozart because of his jealousy to Mozart’s musical talent. Even if the rumor, which had spread over Vienna in the 1820s, clearly turned out not to be true through several historical research, still, the movie Amadeus depicts the fictional life of Mozart and Salieri’s plan to murder him in a realistic way by delicately displacing Mozart’s great works to show Salieri’s intense inferiority to Mozart and his music. The movie’s plot – the story of Mozart’s life in Vienna and his early death – is mainly unfolded with the confession of aged Salieri after his suicide attempt feeling severe guilty conscience that he murders Mozart. Salieri reveals during his confession that he wants to murder Mozart because of his inferiority to the genius of Mozart. With Salieri’s feeling of jealousy to Mozart, the movie develops its storyline based on the musical rivalry and conflict between Mozart and Salieri. Considering the underlying reason of the rivalry – their musical talent – between two characters, Mozart’s music works as an essential role to move forward the plot of the film. By arranging Mozart’s music at the episodes that cause Salieri to feel

Though extremely different in many ways, Amadeus was successfully translated from stage to film not as an adaptation but a parallel work. Peter Shaffer’s stage version is highly theatrical and unfortunately does not literally translate well to film, for multiple reasons. Shaffer and Milos Forman adapted Amadeus in a way that appealed to cinema audiences through cutting characters, expanding upon characters, altering language and narration, set and costume design, plot changes and taking full advantage of the dramatic powers of the camera. Milos Forman said “The fact that Amadeus was so stylized, so theatrical—well, so un-cinematic, was actually a blessing—it meant we wouldn’t be tempted to merely translate the play to screen, but would be forced to demolish the original, then totally reimagine it as a film.” One of the largest differences between play and film that make the film Amadeus its own piece of art, are the changes in narration. Though called Amadeus, it is really Salieri that occupies the center of the stage and “conducts” the action of the play. In the film, Mozart’s role is enhanced from the beginning.

I Am Joaquin, also known as Yo soy Joaquin, is a famous poem, which associated with the Chicano movement in the 1960s in the United States. The poem was written by Rodolfo Corky Gonzales, a Mexican American boxer, poet, and political activist. Besides that, there is a photograph, which also talks about the Chicano movement, and it named The National Chicano Moratorium Protest/March was held on August 29, 1970. Both the poem and the photograph spoke of the struggles that the Chicano people had faced in fighting to achieve the economic justice and equal right in the United States.

On the evening of September 15th, 2017, I attended the 25th annual Take Back the Night march. Take Back the Night is an international event that takes place in many different communities through the year. Universally, this event has a similar meaning, to raise awareness, honor the memory of women who have not survived violence, celebrating the strength of those who have and to demand an end to violence against women. Furthermore, this special event honored and recognized the culture of indigenous peoples with an emphasizes on the missing and murdered indigenous women across Canada. By attending this community event I was able to critically reflect on my own experience, values, and beliefs. In doing so, this helped inform me of my own values and also will inform my future practice as a social worker.

Chris McCandless, the subject of Jon Krakauer in Into the Wild, was not insensible or ill-equipped, but rather he was going out into the wild to locate the genuine importance of life and to perceive what it resembled to live out in the wild all alone. Chris was an incredible good example for children the whole way across the nation; since he was attempting to experience his fantasy and do what he believed was appropriate in the wild and would not tune in to what anybody instructed him to do. Chris McCandless was an adoring and minding individual who esteemed for all creation and needed to make tracks in an opposite direction from the general public and live allowed to locate the significance of life.

In class, we read the book The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls. This book was about the crazy childhood Jeanette experienced. Jeanette had to become independent at a very young age, since her parents didn’t seem to take responsibility for their children. She learned how to do many things on her own, like boil hotdogs at the age of three. Jeanette’s family was also always on the move; they drove miles and miles until her parents found a small town where they wanted to settle down for a little while. She became familiar with her dad’s term the “skedaddle,” which means they would just pick up and leave in a hurry. Because of all these sudden changes in Jeanette’s life, she had to start a new life for herself everywhere she went, such as starting a new school, making new friends, and adapting to the way of living in that

The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls is an autobiography about a young woman’s journey in life. It delves into her childhood, which was as dire as it could become, and how she was able to break her family’s habits and achieve her dreams of becoming a reporter/journalist. There were several significant lessons throughout the story, but what I deemed to be the most valuable lesson was that struggle is important. In the book, struggle is what built Jeannette into who she is today. It drove her to be successful in life, taught her that hope is always out there, and formed her character.

In the end of the book Of Mice and Men, a man feels that he must kill his closest friend. George is the name of the character that kills his friend. His friend that he killed was named Lennie. Lennie is a very large man that had very serious mental issues. Once his aunt passed away, George decided to help Lennie. They have been a pair through the whole book. Lennie stands up for him when the boss’s son, Curley, comes and messes with him. He helps Lennie stay away from Curley’s wife, which acts like a tease for the men on the farm. Lennie enjoys when George describes their dream after they get more money. Their dream is to own their own farm and have their own animals. Lennie always wishes to tend to the rabbits once they do get the farm. At the end of the book, Lennie accidently kills a puppy that was given to him. He was talking to himself in the barn with the deceased puppy, when Curley’s wife stepped in. She was very kind to him and Lennie explained what happened. She offered Lennie to feel her hair and things went south after that. He ended up accidentally killing her as well. He gets scared because he knows what he has done is bad and he runs away. Curley gets the group of men together to go and hunt Lennie down. George ends up finding him before everyone else because earlier in the book, they discussed where Lennie should go if he gets into trouble. Lennie is thrilled when George shows up and while they are talking, he asks George if he can describe their dream for

* Character~ Cecilia has changed/developed more powerful actions and bravery. She has turned from being too shy to ask if she is the real princess and instead she quotes, “Sir Stephen are you Desmia’s tutor too?” on page 6 which is showing us that she was too scared to ask . Then in the middle she was turned into someone who thought they knew everything but she really didn’t on page 171 she says, “I am the real princess.” when she actually doesn’t know. During the end Cecilia was brave enough to tell all the girls that they could rule as equals. As in the book it says on page 283, “ Of course we could all rule as equals-there thirteen of us ,so there’d always be someone to break the tie”. Which had showed that she was brave enough to say

Milos Forman's "Amadeus" is one of the most hazardous bets a producer has taken in quite a while - a rich film about Mozart that challenges to be anarchic and saucy, yet still gains the significance of disaster. This motion picture is in no way like the bleak instructive representations we're accustomed to seeing about the Great Composers, who appear to be cobwebbed profundities overloaded with the weight of virtuoso. This is Mozart as an eighteenth-century Bruce Springsteen, but (here is the virtuoso of the motion picture) there is nothing shoddy or unworthy about the approach.

This paper will take a look into the movie Amadeus, to see if the film accurately
