Amadeus

Another movie which is meaningfully awesome. Oh i almost like all of Goh's movie because it always have something to teach about life. This movie talks about mediocrity and giftedness, and i can so identify myself with Salieri. Always, always, always trying to achieve perfection but fails.

i do envy people who seems to be like Wolfgang to me. last minute work also can be better than mine. how not to be envy? if there is one thing i learnt from this movie, it would be not to put in too much of 'self' into something. we should have invest in different fields so that when one fails to satisfy us that much, we can lean on other fields.

even if you invest a lot on a particular field, then open mindedness is a must. rather than competitive, y not think cooperatively? I wonder what would happen if Salieri and Wolfgang were to gang up together. personally i don't think it's very possible because the level is so far off. although they might understand one another, but Salieri would in all probability not contribute anything, simply because Wolfgang would have thought of all possibilities. how not to hate such people right? but at the same time, there's admiration.. oh ambivalency.. :x

Salieri often wondered in the movie "why would God give the gift of such music talent to such a young, ruthless lad like Wolfgang" Salieri concluded that God is unfair and came to the conclusion to stop this instrument of God.

but i guess there is reason on why God would create such individuals. maybe it's because He simply wants us to know that He has the power to do so, and to make us humble and human again. To not overly estimate our own 'smartness' and therefore He purposely plant some of these awesome geniuses every now and then, throughout history. and He would purposely make these geniuses to be a rascal, to differ from the norm, just to make us be humbled..

God Bless~
