AMADEUS
“Amadeus,” a cult classic about the life of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, is known for its stunning visuals and compelling storytelling. However, the film takes several liberties with historical accuracy. One notable error involves the use of zippers in the costumes, which weren’t invented until 1918, long after Mozart’s time. This anachronism, though minor, is a reminder of the challenges filmmakers face when trying to accurately recreate historical periods.
Another mistake in “Amadeus” involves the visibility of crew members in certain scenes. In one instance, a man wearing modern jeans is seen walking behind the set during a performance. These errors, while not detracting from the film’s overall brilliance, are noticeable upon closer inspection. Despite these mistakes, “Amadeus” remains a cinematic masterpiece that continues to captivate audiences.
