Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I absolutely LOVE the theatrical release of Amadeus but I HATE, HATE, HATE the fact that Amazon only offers the director's cut on digital. The many Oscars, Golden Globes, and the myriads of other international awards were not based off of the director's cut but the theatrical version. Director's cuts are nothing more than pathetic attempts by Motion Picture Companies and forgotten directors to squeeze a few more bucks from old fans by drumming up new interest by repacking old crap, some of which was so bad it wasn't even used in the original. There are legitimate reasons some scenes do not make it to the final version and it is hypocritical for a director to rest on his laurels by bastardizing the very work that achieved those laurels. The worst part about this version is that the additional scenes do not add any depth to the characters but, in fact, changes the characters and the storyline. As a result, you are stuck with the unpleasant feeling that you no longer recognize the movie you loved watching growing up. Save your money and buy the theatrical release on DVD!!!!!
