In Amadeus I think mozart respected Salieri´s work. I have seem a lot of people saying that the film depicts Salieri as mediocre composer but seeing the film I think it´s more that Salieri think himself as mediocre just because he is comparing himself to Mozart who obviously was more talented than he was but I think there is some clues that this is just his perception and Mozart himself found Salieri a good composer. When Salieri writes his Opera we see Mozart clapping afterwards. I think this is genuine and Mozart found this Opera good. But after the emperator says that Salieri is the best composer he knows I think Mozart got angry and that´s when we see him praising Salieri but in a disingenuous way saying things that are obviously absurd. Its not like Mozart think Salieri is a bad composer but he is angry that he is a sellout and is more well know than himself while doing worse music. This is way he in another scene mocks Salieri music.…
