"Amadeus" made a big impression on me. Did they let me watch it at too young of an age?

I was in 4th or 5th grade when I watched it. Believe I saw it first in 4th grade, on the mainland, and then it came on TV and I watched it again in 5th grade, on the island I lived on at that time, with my mother and her boyfriend. And my friend who lived up the street in a church that had been converted to a house watched it as well. The main thing I remember her saying about it afterwards was how creepily white Mozart got when he died.

Well what if I could start going back East more often? I think it's good I got lots of exposure to music appreciation as a child, and since I was just listening to opera, I remembered my mom's sister's daughter sings it.

Maybe if I go back there more often I would see certain people again.
