The ancient Chinese book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" tells such a story: Zhou Yu, the governor of the ancient Eastern Wu Dynasty, was proficient in the art of war and had superior intelligence, but his belly was small and could not tolerate people. He and Zhuge Liang discussed a plan to break Cao's grand plan, but they also wanted to harm Zhuge Liang. When Zhou Yu attacked Nan County, he was poisoned by an arrow. When Zhuge Liang took advantage of the chaos to take Nan County, Jingzhou, and Xiangyang first, Zhou Yu's arrow wound recurred in one breath. Zhou Yu, who was ill, still wanted to outwit Jingzhou, but was recognized by Zhuge Liang. Zhou Yu was angry again and died in the resentment of "that is, Shengyu, He Shengliang".
Coincidentally, a similar plot has occurred abroad.
The movie "The Biography of Mozart", released in the United States in 1984, staged the story of "that is, Shengyu, He Shengliang". Directed by Milos Foreman and starring Tom Huesk and F. Mauri Abraham, the film tells the story of the life of musician Mozart in flashbacks. In 1985, the film won eight awards at the 57th Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor.
In 1782, at the age of 26, Mozart came to Vienna, and his extraordinary talent immediately caused a sensation throughout the Austrian court, and also aroused the jealousy of the court's chief musician Salieri. Salily prides himself on being the first in the Viennese music scene. Mozart's talent both amazed him and plunged him into deep jealousy, determined to destroy this powerful and terrible "opponent" at all costs.
Mozart's musical attainments are otherworldly, but in life, he is an unruly and wanton person. At Saliery's instigation, the conservative and stereotypical Viennese mainstream music scene regarded him as a "heretic" and set him up at every turn. Mozart's score was extensively censored, his works could not be performed in theaters, and his life became increasingly difficult.
At the same time, Mozart's father died suddenly, which made Mozart very sad, mentally stimulated, and his body plummeted. Salily knew his chance had finally come. He put on the mask props that Mozart's father had used during his lifetime, knocked on Mozart's door, and asked him to compose a "Requiem". Mozart worked around the clock under the dual torment of fear and disease. "Requiem" was written, and he himself finally ran out of oil and died of exhaustion, dying at the age of 35.
After Saliery's conspiracy succeeded, he felt that Mozart's ghost had been desperate for his life day and night, and finally became insane and was sent to a madhouse. With the passage of time, the once dazzling Salily is gradually forgotten, but Mozart's works have become the treasures of the temple of human music, forever sung in the world...
As a biographical film, Mozart reaches heights that are difficult for films of this genre to reach. Generally speaking, character biography is the most difficult film theme to break through from form, and no matter how wonderful a person's life is, it cannot be separated from the law of life from birth to death. Only the originality of "Mozart" is obvious, and the ingenuity is quite quite large.
So today I will analyze how Salily and Mozart fell in love and killed each other from the three levels of script design, Salily's admiration for Mozart, from jealousy to hatred for his death, and this character biography tells me a truth.
<h1>01, the real Saleri virtual plot: In history, Saleri is a real great musician, whether professionally, in the position or as a teacher have achieved great success, but because of the plot of this film need to become the main villain</h1>
The show's arch-villain, Salieri, is a prominent musician of Mozart's contemporaries, as well as a successful teacher with beethoven, Schubert and Liszt.
But it was such an extraordinary man who was remembered by the world as a case he had never committed. Mozart's wife Constanza also pointed out that mozart's cause of death was rheumatic fever, a natural death. This conclusion was supported by Rudolf Angemüller, president of the Mozart Foundation in Salzburg, who pointed out: "What mother would send her son (referring to Mozart's son) to study with her husband's killer? ”
So why was the script for Mozart designed like this? The only answer is to attract the audience and increase the dramatic tension. The film ranges from the court musician Salily's love for music, to the admiration of Mozart's talented musical talent, to the jealousy of both life and glory, until finally the plot design of Mozart was killed by conspiracy, full of artistic appeal.
Zhou Yu's narrow-minded artistic image is also a fictional character image in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in order to highlight Zhuge Liang's tall image, and the historical Zhou Yu's broad-mindedness is deeply respected and remembered by Sun Quan, civil and military officials, and even later generations of heroes.
When we think of Mozart, we have to mention his music. In this "Biography of Mozart", classical music also plays a pivotal role in the play. The premieres of Mozart's operas "Harem Escape", "Figaro's Wedding", "Don Juan" and "The Magic Flute" have all become key scenes in the play.
<h1>02, from admiration to jealousy of his talent: Sally is jealous of mozart, a musical genius, not to learn and teach, but to be jealous of his talent</h1>
Mozart wrote concertos at the age of 4, completed symphonies at the age of 7, and could compose a complete opera at the age of 12, his father was a court composer, sparing no effort to cultivate Mozart from an early age; when Mozart was blindfolded to play to the king and his ministers, Salily was still fooling around with ordinary children all over the street, Mozart's origin was the envy of Salily, Salily's father not only did not understand music, but also felt that the famous Mozart was nothing more than a monkey in a trained acrobatic troupe.
After the death of Salily's father, he went to Vienna to study music and became the royal composer of the Roman Emperor. He was not close to women, working day and night until he saw Mozart, hanging children, and life was absurd, but when Salily heard Mozart's music, Salily was completely conquered, and at the same time lamented the unfairness of God, what was his life like an ascetic increase.
Salily began to secretly compete with Mozart, but Mozart, who was not familiar with scheming, not only could not see Salily's jealousy, but even changed the welcome song that Salily made for him.
Later, Mozart lobbied the king to rehearse the opera "The Harem Escape", which was so successful that even Madame Kavaliri, Who was Salari's crush, admired Mozart, and Salily was even more jealous, and he hoped that Mozart would leave Vienna as soon as possible.
As a result, Mozart managed to escape the control of the bishop and his father through "Harem Escape" and married in Vienna. So Salily secretly tricked the king from assigning a job to Mozart, and Mozart and his wife were accustomed to spending a lot of money and gradually making ends meet.
One day Mozart's wife Constance came with Mozart's manuscript, and Salari was even more jealous, the manuscript showed no sign of change, and the whole score seemed to be formed in Mozart's mind, and he only needed to write it down silently.
Salily asks Constance to come over at night so that she can retreat, and when Constance does come, Salary grows more and more jealous, not understanding why Mozart can get everyone's favor.
The screenwriter of "The Biography of Mozart" is too powerful, he firmly grasps the weaknesses and stakes of human nature, and portrays a talented but unworldly Mozart and a mediocre and crisis-like, morally upright Salieri.
If Salieri had put away his jealousy at that time and turned to Mozart for advice, we would not have seen the story of "He Shengyu he shengliang", but the story of "Bo Ya and Zhong Zi Period".
<h1>03, from jealousy to deep hatred: his work has become the object of ridicule, Salily's murderous heart darkens, and decides to take revenge</h1>
Once at a party, someone suggested playing Salily's song, Mozart did not seriously imitate Salily, which made everyone laugh, and the person who proposed this proposal was Salily, and he felt that the harsh laughter in the hall was a joke about his mediocre talent. And Mozart paid the price for those laughs.
After Mozart's mother died, his father came to Vienna, but the mother-in-law did not look at each other well. Salily anonymously installed a maid in Mozart's house, the father felt that the source was unknown and could not be received, but the daughter-in-law thought that she could not do housework in the future, insisted on staying, and the father left Vienna in a rage.
Through the maid, Salily learned that Mozart's masterpiece was the opera "The Marriage of Figaro", which the king had banned, and the small report soon reached the king's ears, and as a result, Mozart explained that the king lifted the ban on "The Marriage of Figaro", and Salieli had a plan to secretly sabotage it if he could not ban the performance, and the result was that Mozart was lucky to dodge it.
The performance was wonderful, and Salary felt frustrated, but because the performance lasted for 4 hours, the king yawned, which meant that the opera could only be performed 9 times, and Salily felt a little balance in his heart.
Not long after his father died, the grief-stricken Mozart composed his dark opera Don Juan, the terrible ghost stood up on the stage, the drama ended in exchange for a sparse applause, the world did not understand the tension of this art, only Salily understood that Mozart was waking up his dead father, and although his father died, he still controlled Mozart mentally like a puppet. Salily finally thought of a way to completely destroy Mozart.
Salieri disguised himself as Mozart's father and paid Mozart to make a requiem for the dead, and when he saw the mysterious man, Mozart was horrified, he felt that his father did not forgive him when he was dying, but he still took the job for money.
Salieri planned to kill Mozart after the requiem was completed, take the requiem for himself, and then play the song at Mozart's funeral. But before Salary could do anything, his father's death, combined with the hardships of life, had severely eroded Mozart's body.
On the other hand, the mother-in-law also looked down on the poor Mozart, encouraged her daughter to leave Mozart with her child, and scolded him, but inadvertently brought Mozart the inspiration to create "The Magic Flute".
Mozart's body had long been overdrawn, and he fainted during the premiere of "The Magic Flute", and after the performance, the theater sent a reward, and Salily lied that it was given by the mysterious person, and said that if the requiem was completed on time, an additional reward of 100 yuan would be added. Mozart dragged the sick body to Ask Salily to ghostwrite, and Salily finally saw how genius was created, and was deeply convinced of Mozart's talent, and did not think that Mozart would never wake up after falling into a deep sleep.
Looking at Mozart's later ups and downs in life, people are not impressed. Mozart had a talent, but it was useless, and because of his debauchery and mismanagement, he ended up with a tragic end.
Imagine if he understood human feelings and sophistication, he would not let Salieri get off the stage in public and make the world laugh at his music;
If he knows how to plan his life, he will not choose a partner for himself who can neither help him in his career nor take care of him in life, nor will he consume his body excessively because of poverty;
If you know how to distinguish between right and wrong, and have a defensive heart, you will not let the "female spy" enter the house, nor will you be angry with your father, and your father will not die prematurely...
"The past life does not forget the teacher of the aftermath", Mozart's story also reminds us that the heart of harming people must not be there, the heart of the house people must not be without, I think "Mozart biography" can also be used as a workplace and life treasure book for everyone to learn.
The following comments were made on mozart's biography and the Chicago Sun:
The Biography of Mozart is a rare film, and its near-perfect script, beautiful music, elegant images, extraordinary performances, dazzling directors, and compelling stories all attest to this.
Although "The Biography of Mozart" is different from the real history, we have gained a lot from this film, and one of the biggest inspirations for me is that when facing a person whose talent and wisdom are higher than his own, if he does not hold the mentality of learning to ask for advice, he chooses to be jealous and tries to fight with it or even frame him, and in the end he will harm others and harm himself, and the gain will not be worth the loss. It is better to concentrate on improving your ability in all aspects in order to be invincible for a long time.
