Much of the process of musical development is as exciting as writing a
term paper for school.  Who'd want to see a movie about that? One of the
few film images that I can recall of a composer actually having to work
is found in the sequences in "Amadeus" where Wolfie actually had to think
about (IIRC) some things in the "Magic Flute" score rather than just
dashing off masterpieces with no apparent effort.  Forman & Co. spiced
this scene with alcohol, and fortunately for the film didn't dwell on it
too long.
