What are the historical inaccuracies in the movie, Amadeus?
I watched the directors cut not to long ago and I realized that it never once said he was poor but made it seem this way. He did indeed die in debt like the movie suggested. The movie shows him being buried in an unmarked grave but this was not because he was a bad composer this was because their happened to be a plague at this time. And in the director’s cut they took out the part with Saleniri posioning him and made it seem like it was just the music that killed him (which wasn’t true it was Rheumautic Fever). There are quite a few more many hf posted above me. The movie is based off of a play by the same name by Peter Chauffer. He used Mozart as the character in this play but never intended it to be historically accurate. He didn’t care about the history he wanted his story about Jealously and humanity.
