Today is Mozart’s birthday so, of course, today’s scene from the day comes from 1984’s Amadeus.  In this scene, the Emperor (Jeffrey Jones) delivers his critique to Mozart (Tom Hulce) and anyone who has ever had to deal with an idiotic critic will be able to relate.

“There’s too many notes!”

What really makes this scene work, along with Hulce’s reaction, is Jones’s blandly cheerful manner.  The Emperor really thinks he’s being helpful!
