What is unique about the flash backs is that most of them in the beginning are filled with glorious colors of light. In the scene where he is in the room with the priest there is nothing but a piano, the chair where he sits, the chair where the priest sits, and a small window that allows just a little dim light to shine through. The light from the window makes the room look gloomy as if to capture Salieri's misery. Then when he flashes back everything is light, shinny, with beautiful colors, as if to represent the highlights, and happiest times of his life.
Throughout the movie the flash back scenes are full of light and color. Then as Mozart's shall I say Salieri's life begins to unfold the flash backs seem to get as grim and dark as the room he and the pries resides. Salieri's lust for Mozart's talent is becoming more revealing throughout the movie. He goes to all of his shows, and sits way in the back so that Mozart cannot see him. Salieri is sitting, and admiring his music, hating him as each note is being played. The film grows darker and darker representing all of the animosity, grief, and sorrow that Salieri is feeling. Not only Salieri, but also Mozart's determination, lost of his father, and sadness plays a role in the darkness of the film towards the end.
What made this picture so astonishing was how they presented the music of Mozart. Going back to the beginning where Salieri is confessing his sin to Vienna, he has locked himself in his room. As his servants break down the door, because of hearing Salieri inside shouting, there is a gush of loud wonderful music. Right when the door is being swung open the music begins on cue, with the camera concentrating on Salieri, knife in hand, and blood every where. As each strong beat of the music is being played the camera swings from Salieri to the servants on each cue of the beat.
The music is what made this film a work of art.
