Amadeus is a 1984 period drama film directed by Miloš Forman and written by Peter Shaffer. Adapted from Shaffer's stage play Amadeus (1979), the story is a variation of Alexandr Pushkin's play Mozart i Salieri (Моцарт и Сальери, 1830), in which the composer Antonio Salieri recognizes the genius of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart but thwarts him out of envy. The story is set in Vienna, Austria, during the latter half of the 18th century.
The film was nominated for 53 awards and received 40, including eight Academy Awards (including Best Picture), four BAFTA Awards, four Golden Globes, and a DGA Award. In 1998, the American Film Institute ranked Amadeus 53rd on its 100 Years... 100 Movies list.
The story begins in 1823 as the elderly Salieri attempts suicide by slitting his throat while loudly begging forgiveness for having killed Mozart in 1791. Placed in a lunatic asylum for the act, Salieri is visited by a young priest who seeks to take his confession. Salieri is sullen and uninterested but eventually warms to the priest and launches into a long "confession" about his relationship with Mozart.

Plot: An independent Science Fiction-action-comedy short film about a heroine and her pet-sidekick mutant anole lizard, who try to take a day off in a park. Unfortunately, it becomes an 'off day' instead, when an alien mercenary team appears, and tries to collect some human 'samples', forcing the heroes to respond. SciFi Summer Girl and Amadeus swing into action against the alien invaders, getting stunned but recovering in the process. In the end, SFS Girl and Amadeus defeat the alien mercenaries, at about which time the police arrive on the scene. The story was based on a comic strip story written by the producer for Sci Fi Summer Con Atlanta, then adapted to screenplay and script by the director, Adrian Havens. The characters, SFS Girl and Amadeus, in the original comic strip and film, were based on the original mascot characters of and for Sci Fi Summer Con Atlanta. The peripheral characters were written specifically for this film "Sci Fi Summer Girl's Off Day".
