- Themes
- Confession/Guilt
- Salieri does not in the end feel guilt, but the whole
film is a confession, and an indictment against
god, of his murder or god's favourite, Amadeus.
I suppose that Salieri feels guilt but he does
not repent. (Timothy Leuers)
- Crucifixion
- Salieri intentionally destroys the
incarnation of God.
- Envy
- Salieri: "God was
singing through this little man to all the world, making my defeat more bitter with every
passing bar."
- Incarnation of God
- Salieri recognizes Mozart as the Incarnation of God
and seeks to destroy him.
