A commonly accepted truism in Hollywood is that the purpose of film is to entertain, not to educate. Amadeus is certainly not educational, as it is acluster of misinformation. However, it is definitely entertaining. It also succeeds in capturing the spirit and genius of Mozart, if not the facts of his life. The movie shows a young Mozart as a pervy...
