Amadeus' main plot is about a rivalry that never happened. That's like saying Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure is a biopic on all those historical people they meet. It's pure fiction. Biopics are not pure fiction, even if nearly all of them fictionalize at least a few things.

Biopics that are pure fiction:

  • Bohemian Rapsody
  • Alexander
  • Braveheart
  • The Blind Side
  • The King’s Speech
  • A Beutiful Mind
  • Patch Adams
  • American Sniper
  • Jobs
  • Bonnie and Clyde
