Sorry, SM, Teacups is based on a movie, based on a book.


Ok, which is better - Immortal Beloved based on the true story of Beethovan with a tiny bit of conjecture as to the riddle of his death letter mystery

-OR-

Amadeus - based on, well, almost pure fiction about Mozart?



I ask because I just saw Immortal Beloved for the first time, really liked it - but was much more charmed by Amadeus. It bugs me a bit, though, that my naive trust is abused because when I watch a movie about a famous historical figure, I assume it's mostly true - with the usual exceptions for dramatic license.

I mean, certainly everyone knew going in that something like Shakespeare in Love was a totally fictional account featuring historical characters. But was I completely clueless not to realize Amadeus was pretty much the same thing?

In any event, I liked learning about Beethovan's life through this movie better than I liked learning little about Mozart's life through the Oscar-winning Milos Forman pic. Oh, and I enjoy Beethovan's music better than Mozart's, too.


Of course, Gary Oldman's Beethovan was kind of a creep, and Thomas Hulce's Mozart was a ton of immature fun. So there's that.

I was just trying to think of what would be the silliest ride to "come alive" and couldn't come up with anything better.

Perhaps IASW will come to life and all the worlds children will banish the recently added Disney characters.
