Plot

The film begins in 1823 as Salieri, as an old man, attempts suicide by slitting his throat while loudly begging forgiveness from a now-deceased Mozart for having been his assassin. AssassiNation is the sixth album by Krisiun, released in 2006 on Century Media. Placed in a lunatic asylum for the act, he is visited by a young priest who seeks to take his confession. A psychiatric hospital (previously called insane asylum, mental hospital; or derogatorily looney bin, nut house or Funny Farm) is The confession of one's Sins is a religious practice important to many faiths e Salieri is sullen and uninterested. The priest mentions a rumor that Salieri may have murdered Mozart and says that, if true, Salieri must unburden his mortal sins. Mortal sin, according to the beliefs of Roman Catholicism, and some Protestant denominations is a Sin that unless confessed and absolved (or at least Salieri remains uninterested until the priest says, "All men are equal in God's eyes. " Suddenly, Salieri is hooked: "Are they?" he inquires, and launches into a long "confession" about the relationship between himself and Mozart.

Salieri reminisces about his youth, particularly about his love for music. His music education, however, was all but stopped by his uncultured, unloved father, who choked to death during a meal – "a miracle" that allowed Salieri to pursue his dream of joining the 18th century cultural elite in Vienna, the "city of musicians. A miracle is an event believed to be caused by interposition of Divine intervention by a Supernatural being in the Universe by which the ordinary operation Vienna ( in Wien; see also other names) is the Capital of Austria, and is also one of the nine States of Austria. " Salieri begins his career as a devout, naïve, God-fearing man who believes his success and talent as a composer are God’s rewards for his piety. He is content as the court composer for Austrian Emperor Joseph II, until Mozart arrives as a protogé of the Bishop of Salzburg. Austria (Österreich ( officially the Republic of Austria (Republik Österreich An emperor (from the Latin " Imperator " is a (male Monarch, usually the sovereign ruler of an Empire or another type of Heir and co-regent Joseph was born in the midst of the early upheavals of the War of the Austrian Succession.

The irreverent, lewd, yet immensely talented Mozart inadvertently, yet repeatedly, humiliates Salieri and belittles his work. In 1781, when Mozart meets the Emperor for the first time, Salieri presents Mozart with a little "March of Welcome," which he had toiled to create. Upon hearing it, Mozart spontaneously "improves" this piece with minimal effort, transforming Salieri's "trifle" into the "Non più andrai" march from his opera The Marriage of Figaro. Le nozze di Figaro ossia la folle giornata (Trans The Marriage of Figaro or the Day of Madness) K

Salieri reels at the notion of God speaking through the childish, petulant Mozart, whose music he regards as miraculous. Gradually, Salieri’s faith is shaken. Faith is a Belief in the trustworthiness of an Idea. Formal usage of the word "faith" is usually reserved for concepts of Religion, as in He believes God, through Mozart's genius, is cruelly laughing at his musical mediocrity.

Salieri's struggles with God are intercut with scenes showing Mozart's own trials and tribulations with life in Vienna: pride at the initial reception of his music, anger and disbelief over his subsequent treatment by the Italians of the Emperor's court, happiness with his wife Constanze and his son Wolfgang, and grief at the death of his father Leopold. Johann Georg Leopold Mozart ( November 14, 1719 &ndash May 28, 1787) was a composer conductor teacher and violinist Mozart becomes more desperate as the family's expenses increase and his commissions decrease. When Salieri learns of Mozart's financial straits, he finally sees his chance to avenge himself, using "God's Beloved" as the instrument.

Salieri hatches a complex plot to gain ultimate victory over Mozart and over God. He disguises himself as the spectre of Leopold and "commissions" the young composer to write a requiem mass, with a down payment and the promise of an enormous sum upon completion. The Requiem (from Latin requiem, accusative case of requies, rest or Requiem Mass (informally a funeral Mass also known formally (in Latin as the Mozart begins to write perhaps his greatest work, the Requiem Mass in D minor, unaware of the true identity of his mysterious patron and his scheme: to kill him when the work was complete. The Requiem Mass in D minor ( K 626 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was composed in 1791 Salieri dreamed of the admiration of his peers and the court as they applauded the magnificent mass of death he had written for Mozart, his friend and colleague. Only Salieri and God would know the truth – that Mozart wrote his own requiem mass, and that God could only watch while Salieri finally received the fame and renown he felt he deserved.

Mozart's financial woes and the eerie likeness of the piece's commissioner to his father drive him to the point of exhaustion as he works on the piece. After Constanze leaves him and takes their son with her, his health worsens and he collapses during the premiere performance of The Magic Flute. The Magic Flute (German Die Zauberflöte, K 620 is an Opera in two acts composed in 1791 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Salieri takes Mozart home and tricks him into working on the Requiem although Mozart is clearly very ill. Mozart dictates while Salieri transcribes throughout the night. As Constanze returns that morning, she tells Salieri to leave, but he protests, saying that he will not abandon Mozart. Constanze locks the manuscript away despite Salieri's objections, but as she goes to wake her husband, Mozart dies. The Requiem is left unfinished, and Salieri is left powerless as Mozart's body is hauled out of Vienna for burial in a mass grave. A mass grave is a grave containing multiple usually unidentified human corpses

The film ends as Salieri finishes recounting this woefully tragic and cruelly inhuman story to the visibly shaken young priest. Salieri concludes that God killed Mozart rather than allow Salieri to share in even an ounce of his glory, and that he is consigned to be the "patron saint of mediocrity. " Salieri absolves the priest of his own mediocrity and blesses his fellow patients as he is taken away in his wheelchair. The last sound heard before the credits roll is Mozart's comical laughter.
