Amadeus Endures

I've long loved the movie Amadeus, which I mentioned HERE along with, of course, back farts.

Today Slate commemorates the screenwriter' death by noting how wonderfully enduring the movie has now been for decades:

Amadeus’ multilayered truths—about rivalries, about genius and craft, about the devastating feeling that you are not worthy of receiving the inspiration your work requires—are the keys to its enduring place in our culture. In Shaffer’s portrait of Talent and Craft as a pair of equally compelling and detestable grotesques, the movie and play reflect back to us our own psyches as we struggle to create. We’ve all been Salieri, lusting to finally, just for one moment, have the grace to be Mozart.

BONUS: the movie's connection to Only Fools and Horses!  :)
