Yes, but don't we all? Or most of us anyway.

Ah, pseudo-historical movies that distort the truth but are still fun. Finally something I know about. The protagonist was Antonio Salieri. The difference is that, unlike Salieri, you have not devoted your life to that field of study only to watch your efforts be completely eclipsed by a buffoonish savant who is crass and arrogant but who creates masterworks of art. You're just a guy who would like to do more, but you have a day job.


(Btw, there is no evidence that Salieri killed Mozart)



Sorry for the double post. I have no idea whatsoever how that happened. The first was not complete, as you can tell. You have trouble understanding classical greek; I have trouble figuring out how to post on a message board. See, it can always be worse.
