His life is saved by his aids and he is sent to what looks like a mental hospital, where a priest is sent to council him. The whole story is told through the eyes of Salieri on his death bed, confessing to his priest. The whole movie takes place in Vienna, Austria. Besides the first few scenes where Mozart is seen as a child, the story begins in 1782 when Mozart is the

Wolfgang Mozart and Antonio Salieri are arguably two sides of the same coin and certainly foils. While Mozart embraces humanity and its flaws, Salieri shuns it, believing God’s grace and musical talent is all he needs.

Moreover, Mozart’s music in Amadeus is attributed to survey intricate relationship between God and humans. Through Salieri’s powerful jealousy of Mozart’s music and his intense blame on God, the movie proposes the issue of human’s incomplete belief in God and the question about the existence of God.
