Amadeus (1984)
Directed by Milos Forman, written by Peter Shaffer

God can show us wondrous things through the most reckless and foolish individuals. Mozart is a perfect example. Amadeus is the story of Salieri, a composer who cannot tolerate the genius of Mozart, who cannot comprehend that God would give so great a gift to so sinful a person. It is, in the end, a movie about the need to comprehend God's grace, that he blesses us in spite of our failings, that jealousy is as bad as destructive as any sin, and that there is more to life than fame and fortune.
