Yuh the movie is fantastic. Salieri is a stand-up guy; honest, hard-working, faithful, God-fearing - his life's work is music for the greater glory of God and the king.
Then Mozart comes along; barely more than a teenager, with a brainless wife, no class and no virtue. His music, however, is... perfect. And he writes it intuitively, effortlessly, as if God himself was speaking through him.
Salieri can't handle this; he cracks and goes completely bonkers. :)
The movie is fantastic, not as good as the soundtrack though - there's about 5 CD's I think, all Mozart's best stuff beautifully arranged. If you have any liking or need for classical music I cannot recommend it highly enough.
