Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.
If you enjoyed Amadeus, I implore you to watch "Immortal Beloved" with Gary Oldman playing Ludwig von Beethoven. A love story for the ages.
I recomended both. And I have both on bluray
I was going to post this same comment
But you beat me to it
Immortal Beloved is a masterpiece
not even half the movie Amadeus is
The " this is his agitation!' scene is just so wow . Love that movie too
@@JulioLeonFandinhoI disagree. Actually, “Immortal Beloved” is more accurate. I don’t really care for how they portray Mozart like he’s a brat or a clown in “Amadeus”.
"The worst way to die, in the presence of your enemy"
When you said that, my jaw dropped. This movie moved me as a kid. It was like a life lesson of betrayal, family, and what to do and what not to do. Trusting the right people is everything. Loyalty is everything. Family is everything. Great reaction!
Is that truly the WORST way to die?... There are many folks who would say that dying alone is much, MUCH worse..... Friends and enemies are constructs of the living, and when you are dying, those distinctions can become very blurry, even becoming inconsequential, sometimes.
"God always fights for the weak." Nope.
the actor playing Salieri, F. Murray Abraham, recieved a wel deserved Oscar for this role.
His biggest role before this was a grape in a Fruit of the Loom commercial. He is also good in Finding Forrester, kind of a villain too.
@@rollmops7948 Yes. And Last Action Hero. Not the leading man type.
@@davidcooklock129 He was in Scarface as Al Pacino's early boss. His death scene involving a helicopter was brutally memorable. At least I think this was before Amadeus
@@Peter-tg1kk You are right. I had seen what I had said in a report on him. But he really was in a Fruit of the Loom commercial.
Tom Hulce was up for Best Actor too-- I would not have wanted to be on the Academy that year, having to decide between them.
As a classical singer, I have adored and respected the music of Mozart my whole life. This movie moved me to tears as well when I first saw it. RIP Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart😪
Your review was so delightful! This is a favorite movie of mine. So many who don’t believe they like classical music don’t bother with it. But it is so much more than that! You captured every subtle nuance. When you said “the shade“ during one of the early scenes where Mozart was showing up Salieri, I was just rolling on the floor! Well done. I adore you :-)
Wow, this was one of my childhood favorites that I haven't seen in decades. I never thought to see it pop up in a reaction. Brings me back. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks so much for your reaction! You have a gentle and empathetic heart, I can tell 💖 God bless you 🙏
Wow, thank you
There are several theories about how he died. This movie is the most controversial of them. A composer claiming that he caused his death. The requiem mass unfinished and he did dictate to someone to help finish when he was gravely ill. Who commissioned the death mass? But as a child he had Rheumatic Fever. I had Scarlet Fever as a child I was sent home from school with a temperature of 106 degrees, 41 degrees Celsius. Rheumatic Fever is worse it causes issues throughout your life. People drank Beer & wine back then because water was not safe in big cities. Was his death caused by his drinking? He did owe money and was sadly buried in a mass paupers grave with no fanfare.
I think the Director's Cut makes Salieri look much more evil. I'm kind of sympathetic to him. He starts out being sincere about becoming a composer for his faith, but it all goes south on him. He also (in the sanitarium) seems to accept his mediocrity, and seems proud to call himself the patron saint. The reaction by the priest to his story is really telling.
The character Salieri is a tortured soul. A great composer who unfortunately lived in the same time as the greatest musical genius who ever lived, rendering him as a mediocrity in his eyes.
Interesting to note that in real life Salieri tutored not only Beethoven and Schubert (among other famous composers) but also one of Mozart's sons, who ended up becoming a very successful composer in his own right. Pretty decent legacy.
My personal favorite movie of all time. I still remember also crying at the scene where Salieri & Mozart worked together on his last piece. The same revelation you made is what makes it so tragic: If Saliei had just abandoned his anger & envy he & Mozart could have lived a long life together & friends who truly understood one another which is already so rare. Greed & lust for glory gained Salieri nothing but at least Mozart got to live his last moments at least believing that they were friends & that Salieri felt the same.
The film is so brilliant. The scene of the composition of Confutatis Maledictis in bed by Mozart , makes you think the orchestration genious of the composer .Mozart was dead when he composed Lacrymosa. One of his students , not Salieri , completed Requiem for him.Not even close to the real story of those two men the film, but so entertainful.
Sussmayr!
@@RideAcrossTheRiver Yes , that's him.
This is how the World treats true GENIUS. Over and over again. Thanks for a GREAT reaction!
Definitely one of my top ten. This movie is timeless and I think 8 academy awards.
14:56 The first remix in the history
This is the most thrilling movie ever filmed!
His sister Antoinette ... is Marie Antoinette who goes to the guillotine in 1793 ... 15 years later
Love this movie. Loving your reaction. One of the best films ever made.
Glad you enjoyed it
Mozart is now with the other great composers in a cemetery in Vienna. I visited a few years ago and it brought a tear to my eye to see his grave stone alongside Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms and others. He may have had an unknown paupers grave but he has his rightful place now.
Mozart didn't have a pauper's grave, it's a common misconception. There was an epidemic going through Europe, so everyone who died of any illness at the time was buried in the plague grave. The "Mozart" grave in Vienna Cemetary is chiefly symbolic. Though I believe they did recently find some bones matching the DNA and reinterred them there.
F. MURRAY ABRAHAM as Salieri, won best actor oscar for his performance. This story is all made up...in real life Salieri was very supportive of Mozart and did not murder him.
"He didn't know God to begin with" I love that quote
"Amadeus" - "Beloved of God."
The magnitude of beauty, sorrow, unfairness, envy, and evil vividly illustrated in this movie is unparalleled. A heavy, unforgettable masterpiece.😢
Bless your heart.
Powerful inspiring reaction. Thanks, sweet K.S.O. 💕
This film walks that tightrope between high-brow for the intelectuals and just plain entertaining for the common man... No mean feat!
I've met so many people who were turned on to classical music, in general, due to this movie
Great reaction matey!
Thank you hun
The Emperor's "dear sister Antoinette" who has "begun to be frightened of her own people" is none other than the Queen of France, Marie Antoinette. She had good reason to be frightened of her own people. The French Revolution began in 1789 - only three years after The Marriage of Figaro premiered - and she was beheaded in 1793.
Mozart’s music is the real leading actor in this film
One of the best interpretations of his life I've seen. I wish modern movies would go back to this era more often with this kind of passion and power in their performance.
Great reaction! Extremely few reactors have featured this modern classic.
Thank you for the wonderful reaction and review. If you want to see something amazing, a UA-camr replayed the entire scene of Mozart composing the Confutatis portion of the Requiem with Salieri, but adding how each segment of the score would look like. Then he replayed the entire Confutatis piece with the score scrolling alongside the music. Just do a search on UA-cam for "Confutatis Amadeus movie plus scrolling music score." It's an amazing piece that highlights the complexity of what Mozart was doing when composing the piece in the film.
Great reaction!!!!! ❤❤❤
Doctors wouldn't have helped. It's amazing what science did. Simple anti-biotics might have saved him, but no medicine at the time could, no herbal extract, nothing.
I think a large part of the fashion for wigs, like all fashion, was the ability to show off your wealth; the fact that you can afford to buy a wig and the powder and other supplies to keep it nice. Plus it saved you the trouble of keeping your own hair nice.
This has now inspired me to renew my interest in opera and a book about Mozart's sister (also a talented musician in her own right).
In addition, the parts of Mozart and Salieri had to be recast for this film because Paul Scofield and Simon Callow swore after doing the play together that they would never play those parts opposite anyone else.
I just wanted to say Thank You for really showing respect and taking in this film as it should be. This is maybe in my top 3 favorite films of all time and a lot of reactors just bumble through it and it breaks my heart. It's such a beautiful work of art. You're a great and thoughtful person so I guess I shouldn't be surprised but Thank You just the same 😺
I appreciate that!❤️❤️❤️
Aww thank you 🥰 I didn't expect a reply. Keep doing what you do!
Mozart died way too young, that's true, during a heavy flu epidemic in Vienna, but this might be of some comfort to you: he died in the loving presence of his wife, sister-in-law and maybe a servant or two. He was buried in a 3rd class grave (not in a mass grave), but Constanze was ill and could not attend the burial. When she got her health back and visited the cemetery, no one could tell her where her husband's grave was, because so many people had died and been buried during that epidemic.
I hope that Salieri will not become a name of evil for you. He was a rival of Mozart, but also a colleague in arts. He visited many performances of The Magic Flute, and praised Mozart openly. Later in his life, Salieri became the beloved teacher of f.i. Beethoven, Schubert and Liszt, who had nothing but praise for him.
This movie was based on a lyrical drama written by Alexander Pushkin ("Mozart & Salieri"), and Peter Shaffer used it for his stage play "Amadeus". It's a great piece and a splendid movie, but it's not the historical truth.
When I was a boy I prayed intensely that God would make me a musician...and please DON'T ever make me famous!!
Stage Fright
This Immortal Beloved and the Legend of 1900 . Some of the best music base stories about people .
Great reaction!
Some music historians claims that in reality it was Mozart that was envy of Salieri popular success, and not all the way around like in this film. Amadeus was based on a play, not on biografical sources.
Fun Fact-- the opera house used for the opera scenes was where Don Giovanni played when it originally came to Prague. The production damn near burned it down filming the Commendatore scene, when one of those big feathers on the Don's costume caught fire.
Actually, a good thematical preparation for "Oppenheimer".
Only the Requiem is a movie in it self. Because there is so many stories about it. And Who really ordered it. There is at least 2 different composers except Mozart. And Mozart him self was a big child with a dirty mind. There is preserved letters between him and his cousin (female) that are quite remarkable. So the Movie got that part right about Mozart.
You should now watch “Angela’s Ashes”.
God did Salieri real dirty in this movie, but He had His reasons,
I don't think so - we should be grateful for the gifts that we have from him - regardless of how high we see ourselves.
@@ScenecrlyK.S.O.I think so too! This movie was a wonderful gift
Immortal Beloved is another great film about Bethoven.
Hi hunni! Long time no see. I sent you requests for Tori Amos , Winter a long time ago on your music channel. Good to see you are still going strong! Love your movie reactions too! Love you, Joe and Kevin. PS. So you still do live streams ?
"Rock me, Amadeus!"
Who's with me now?!
🎶 🕺 🕺 🕺 🎶
Got the old folks in da house!
🤣🤣🤣
Rock On, friends!!!
🤘🌎❤
I am late trying to catch up by my was that entertaining and Amen to that 🙏💗
Great video, and thoughts on the character of Salieri!
6:39 LOL
A most excellent movie.
I wanna give you a big hug 🥲
So much can be said about how incredible this movie truly is. Although this was based on a play,which was based on a rumor which was also based on a Conspiracy theory. However the only thing in this movie they have correct was how hard Amadeus worked for his music and was a bit obnoxious.
A powerful movie. Sure, the writer took some liberties. But the basic facts stand on thier own. Mozart died broke and buried in a pauper 's grave, while Salieri died a forgotten old man in an insane asylum.
I love this movie, but I prefer the short version. I think the plot gets cleaner. We must consider the film as a fictional work and not as the plot of Mozart's life. Some features and events from Mozart's life are in the film, of course. The excellent conflict between him and Salierie that drives the narrative is a fiction. The result is a great villain and his conflict between admiration and envy that won the Oscar for F. Murray Abraham.
Irony is .. Salieri's music is now played again due to this movie. And he was famous in his day and after mozart was eclipsed by his pupil ... Beethoven .. oh and not chaste .. he had many kids.. 8? and a mistress )
This story is very Fictional! But very Entertaining!
Nice!!!!
Salieri absolutly not understand what ama want
I wouldn't get too worked up about it. Despite it being a great story for a play/movie, almost nothing in it is true.
to be clear, this story is not that true, this story is based on a rumor from that time, it is not actually what happened, and most historians think that they were great friends at that time, and it is not confirmed that Saliere tried to kill Mozart.
It makes for a great framing of the story and makes for an interesting exploration of jealousy and greatness, but there is no real historical evidence that Salieri was driven by jealousy or contributed to Mozart's death.
The negative image in the film of Mozart's character is not accurate. However, the film as a whole is well-made. There was a rival between the Italian court composer and Austrian courtiers.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
mozart didnt really act like.. this... or prefer the company of people like.. that.. but its still a good movie
Mozart would fart on demand and wrote pieces like "Licht Mein Arse"
Now do Copying Beethoven. A completely different genius ... infinite revision of the paper copy. Beethoven at his peak did masterpieces while deaf ;-)
It's worth reading up on Constanze Mozart. She was an amazing example of womanhood of her time. Mozart's death left her with serious debt. She could have wallowed and drifted into poverty, but instead she became a real businesswoman, arranging for memorial concerts of her husband's work, and making sure his music was published, and also arranged for a biography of her husband to be published. Not only did she get out of debt, but she ultimately became wealthy, providing for herself as well as her two surviving sons.
Constanze Mozart is the reason everyone knows who Mozart is today, over 200 years after his death.
Rubbish. She was a user who didn't give a damn for her own husband except what she could get out of him. No different than some of the jackson's cannibalizing MJs estate to sustain their own wealthy lifestyle.
Agreed. Though she did destroy letters and music drafts he did.
It's believed by some that a photo of her has survived.
@@joebloggs396 you mean a picture :)
@@TallisKeeton Actually reading further there seems a lot of doubt about the 1840 photo.
@@joebloggs396 But photography does not exist before 70s of 19th century, right ? So you mean a portrait - picture. ?
I'm a classically trained composer, and this movie was a big influence on me when it came out, back when I was an early teenager. Needless to say, it has gone on to become one of my all-time favorite movies. You should know that this movie is based on a play, and both the play and the movie are fictitious. Many of the broad outlines of the story are absolutely true: Mozart was a child prodigy and his father toured him around Europe as a traveling show. Yes, Mozart always struggled for money. He tried to fit in to the upper class circles, but nobility regarded composers much like servants. Having a fine composer on your staff was sort of like having the fanciest car on the block, but still was considered easily replaceable by the next hot thing. Yes, Salieri was a real person and the official "court composer." Yes, Mozart began writing a requiem mass and died before it was completed. Some of his students and followers attempted to "finish" the requiem, based on Mozart's notes and leftover scraps of unfinished work, but to this day it's a matter of conjecture how much of the requiem is truly by Mozart. (Most of the "official" version is NOT by Mozart.) The piece you hear as Mozart is buried is the "Lacrimosa" movement of the Requiem, one of the parts that was most complete upon Mozart's death. If it rips tears out of your eyes, well, hey, it's Mozart! You couldn't ask for a better composer. Besides, that's exactly what "lachrymose" means, after all. Yes, it's true that Mozart was buried in a pauper's grave, unremarked and unnoticed in the press. He was only 35. (When Beethoven died some 36 years later, all of Vienna came out for his funeral.) After these basic outlines, however, the plot takes A LOT of liberties. There is no evidence Salieri had anything to do with Mozart's death, or sat taking transcription from Mozart on his deathbed. It's really an invention of the author, and an inspired one at that. The struggle to separate artist from who the man is has been going on forever. For instance, Wagner: Brilliant composer, horrible anti-semite. Picasso: brilliant artist, womanizer and child abandoner. But the conflict in this movie is really all Salieri's, and his inability to cope with "God-given" talent in the shape of the caricature we see in this movie's Mozart. And as a piece of dramatic invention, it is absolutely brilliant.
Good information.
I am not well versed in classical music, but I can speak to some of the writing of this. Of course this is a dramatized and fictional movie script, but I feel like it makes the movie much more than a biopic. Like you said, this movie is massively influential with musicians and I feel it is owed in big part to the writing, which is focused a lot on art culture and it's dynamics - one can easily imagine this storyline in a modern movie about pop music. Salieri - just like he says at the end of the movie - is supposed to be a stand-in for "mediocre" artists who are passionate about their craft but just cannot reach the level of someone truly inspired like Mozart. They envy what they perceive as effortlessly creative or maybe even just the effect of it: being showered with attention. They could most likely learn important insights by studying how a better artist thinks, unlocking the potential in a hard worker (like Salieri).
The movie is a discussion about art itself, I feel. A great scene is when the emperor critiques Mozart's play or when the chamberlain censors it. The artist is certain the play is perfect, but an "important" person will take issue with it and mess with the original vision, muddling with the art or giving feedback without value ("Too many notes").
It's a great film and I love that it inspires people and makes them feel all kinds of emotions.
It's actually possibly completely accurate. What yo call fictitious is not fictitious. There were contemporary accounts who suggested rivalry and claimed Saliari did admit later to scheming to ruin him to the very end. Now, this is not "proven" with enough evidence to verify it, but that doesn't make it fictitious. And IMO, it is very likely true. Salieri wasn't a composer. he was a political bully who ruled the music world. Politician first, musician second or third. These people by the pattern of history rarely except threats to their appointed positions and despite potential rivals. So this one "unsubstantiated" account seems very reasonable. Is there enough to prove? No, very little of history is actually "provable." But there IS a contemporary witness suggesting something like that (and there are contradictory accounts claiming Salieri was almost an altruistic angel, too). Quite frankly, if I had to chose which was more likely true based on the long and substantial evidence of historical patterns, I'd say this movie (and the account claiming Salieri was vindictive and scheming) is much more likely than the alternative. So there IS evidence, it's just considered "unreliable" so dismissed. that one account is what helped inspire this potential version of events. so it very possibly could be true, or it could not be, but considered everything else we know about the circumstances and landscape of the time and the pattern of such men throughout history, i'd say it'd more like to be accurate that your saying "it's fictitious" is more likely to be true.
Wasn't there a plague at the time and that's why there were quick burials in unmarked graves?
@@joebloggs396 It comes down to fortune (finances), really. The point to take away from Mozart's death and burial is that many times the greatest artists struggle to get money. Salieri betrayed his artistry in favor of riches ("actually, the man had no ear at all, but what did it matter?") while Mozart worked on his music, considering most patronage beneath him (dog scene) and distracting. In reality, if not for Constanze continuing to push and sell his works, he would maybe have remained unknown. A fate that most artists on the world share...
@@moritzkorsch9029 Mozart didn't manage money that well, and spent a fair amount on things like places to live. I wouldn't say he was unknown at all but composers were still breaking out of that servile status people had seen them as occupying, so he couldn't be a superstar yet. And the vagaries of fashion meant it was hard to keep in favour all the time. But there was no way his music was vanishing forever. Vivaldi vanished for a long time but eventually resurfaced last century.
One thing that is perhaps less obvious here is that Salieri’s envy not only ruined Mozart’s life- it ruined his own as well.
He was miserable, bitter, and evidently tormented by remorse while at the same time, still also being driven by his jealousy even after he has had his “revenge”.
What's interesting is that this was one of a set of plays that Peter Shaffer wrote in which an older, burned-out and unhappy man is confronted with a younger man whose gifts and energy force him to see his own emptiness, and who is destroyed by the revelation. Pizarro and Atahualpa in "The Royal Hunt Of The Sun", Salieri and Mozart in "Amadeus", and Dysart and Alan Strang in "Equus".
Always makes me wonder what Shaffer himself might have been processing, since it's a theme he keeps coming back to so powerfully. (I'd always assumed the plays were written very close together but I just checked and they were years apart with others in between, so who knows?)
This is one of my all-time favourite movies and I'm not only saying this because I'm Austrian myself. 😉
It's just a true cinematic masterpiece and I'm really looking forward to seeing you watch it. ❤
This is a masterpiece 👏 Thanks 😁
Yes sad, but what a superb movie. The acting, the story, the music and the setting. This move does what great movies should do. Transports you, makes you care and ultimately makes you feel with passion! But know that this move is not historically accurate. So just appreciate the move for what It is, a great experience!
The director told the studio there would be NO modern 80s music in the film.
Much of the story of "Amadeus" is fictitious, in reality, Mozart and Salieri were at least friends. But the health and money issues were true, as was his relationship with his overbearing father, who was the inspiration for "Don Giovani". Thankfully , his music was all written down, and eventually transcribed and copied so everyone could enjoy it, to this day. And Milos Forman has directed a cinematic masterpiece worthy of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and all his talent. Your reaction KSO was so emotional, as the movie progressed, you were becoming tearier and tearier, so real.
Very true, however the fictitious part where Salieri kills Mozart didn’t come out of thin air, they are based on historical rumors, which then inspired the play “Mozart and Salieri” written by Alexander Pushkin in 1830. 39 years after the death of Mozart in 1791, and 5 years after the death of Salieri in 1825. This play then inspired others, which eventually lead to the film.
This is first and foremost a tour de force by F Murray Abraham. The scene where he reads Mozart’s music from the sheets secretly brought by Constanze…it’s just sublime. No one has ever portrayed the rush of experiencing painfully beautiful music more viscerally. A legendary performance.
OK dear, I've been waiting until you finished watching, in order not to spoil anything. But while this is an excellent movie, the plot is simply not true.
There was indeed some healthy competition between Mozart and Salieri, but their relationship was good, even friendly. In fact, Salieri helped raise Mozart's orphan son.
Mozart did complain in his letters about the dominance of Italian composers and Salieri was certainly part of that problem.
The source of this story comes from the fact that when Salieri grew older, he became mentally ill and in one of his bouts of insanity he said that he killed Mozart. Rumor started spreading and even people who knew both of them well tended to believe it.
Peter Schaffer wrote a stage play about it, the movie is largely based on that.
But on his death bed in full lucidity Salieri swore that he never harmed Mozart.
And I often feel that we owe a debt to Salieri. He was a decent composer, one of the many decent composers who lived in those times, and who were dwarfed by the three geniuses: Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven. He certainly didn't deserve all the bad rap, he didn't deserve to be considered a conniving sinister murderer and unfortunately that's what most people consider him.
This was one of the best movies of the 80s, forgotten by almost everyone. Thank you for pulling it out of the drawer of forgotten things and reacting to her.
Not by me. I love this movie, and often think of nipple truffles whenever I go to the chocolate shop.
Not by me - I have seen live symphony screenings of Amadeus and once a 6hr dissection of it at film forum
I saw this in the theaters and thought it was an absolute masterpiece. Historically inaccurate, but a masterpiece none-the-less. I have not seen the Director's Cut but I'm very curious to see how that additional material changes the story flow.
IMO, director's cut is worse than original theatrical version. Didn't like the additions.
The added scenes are pretty good by themselves, but unfortunately they break the movie's flow a lot, and make the last third really drag. I'm not a fan.
I think the theatrical release is better. And it's sad that the nudity/ graphic scene makes it inappropriate for children.
@@radiofriendly Yeah, It was so gratuitous and pointless. Added nothing, just took away.
I ADORE this movie!! We watched it in music class in junior high (yes all of it!) 😂❤
OMG I love you. This film means so much to me 😭
Mozart's life is like Michael Jackson's. Worked from beginning to end, and died in such a tragedy. Never had a childhood, lost all his fortune, and worked till death.
Look at who produced this film ... and when he was a music producer, what he did to his label's best moneymaker.
I originally would’ve compared him to Brian Wilson, but this also fits him too.
@@DiamondDawgsRuleOK There's a reason why Saul Zaentz produced this film.
@@RideAcrossTheRiver You cause it's Hollywood? Yes, we know who runs it and I for one hate them all :)
@@porkypile No, Saul Zaentz used to be a music producer and record label owner. He ran his star moneymaker into the ground.
I love this movie and the play on which it was based, but historically, it is somewhat inaccurate. Salieri and Mozart might have lived at the same time, but they were not enemies at all.
Another inaccuracy is having Mozart conduct standing on a podium; he would have led from the keyboard.
Milos Forman used some of the actual places Mozart played his music in.
Marie Antoinette was the younger sister of Emperor Joseph II.
I read the play by Peter Shaffer in highschool in drama class. I acted in class as the spy maid hired by Salieri. I ended up loving this movie. We never really did paperwork in my drama class.
This is my favorite movie in the world. Pure genius, just like Mozart's music itself. Thank you for helping me relive it with someone seeing it for the first time! I love how perceptive you are, and hearing your thoughts on it. :)
The story is not entirely the play/movie's original invention. The Salieri vs. Mozart rivalry plot was conjectured by the Russian poet Alexander Pushkin a century-and-half ago. But it was a fragment that was little known. I'm so glad it inspired Peter Shaffer to flesh it out. I happened to come across Pushkin's version in my youth and thought it a bit thin. Then the movie came out, and I was flabbergasted. Fantastic movie. The one question Pushkin asked - can genius ever be conjoined to evil? - Shaffer gave a resounding answer to: No!
Back in very early 2000's I had my hardtop computer, as it was shutting down, do the Amadeus laugh.
NOBODY reacts to this masterpiece thank you!!! 💜💜💜
Yeah, as others point out, the broadest consensus among historians is that, at least based on the written evidence that can be found and so forth, historical Salieri and Mozart were actually friends, or at least, polite acquaintances who were mutually cordial to each other.
The resentment of Salieri of the movie and the play is highly dramatized, based on a lot of rumor and supposition over the centuries on the circumstances of Mozart's death, though it's an incredibly imagined story. And, if you consider it, *even* in this movie, Salieri isn't actually responsible for Mozart's death itself directly. Although it's not clear just what the cause of historical Mozart's death was, he suffered a number of health conditions throughout his life, partook in a lot of clearly bad life habits, and tried various "treatments" mistakeny believed by some at the time to work that we now know are actually poisonous.
But Film Salieri is convinced he helped drive Mozart to his death, which is why he "confesses" to killing him, now that he's at a sanitarium, and the entire film is his own recounting and explanation to the priest about why he feels it was him. Film Salieri's entire rivalry and resentment and animosity toward Mozart is all one-sided. Mozart dies and Salieri's the only one left to stew in the fate of his own making, where his own music has been largely forgotten even within his own lifetime. He makes peace with that and revels in considering himself the "Saint of Mediocrity".
This is by far the best reaction I've ever seen to this movie.
Salieri wasn’t a bad guy nor was he jealous or hated Mozart. He and Mozart supported each other….actually the movie temporarily revived his musical composition….you can Google it.
Winner of 8 Oscars including Best Picture!
I think this was the FIRST movie we watched on our brand new VCR! I LOVE IT!!! ❤️
46:40 ... They are doing a parody of Mozart's previous Operas at that show 😂 His wife didn't think it was funny 😭
Jealousy and envy is a truly terrible disease of the mind. And as you said, for what? I haven't seen this since I was a teenager. We watched it in music class and now I remember why I didn't watch it again. It helped solidify my fear of success. I wanted acceptance more than succeeding in what I was clearly very good at. I have some unpacking to do now.
oh gosh, this is the director's cut - I can't watch it!!! you need to watch the film that came out in the theaters! so many of these scenes were cut - and for good reason!
Thank you! 'Director's cuts' are always loathesome.
in the 1790s in his time in where he lived, only royalty and very wealthy people got personal burials it was the law. mozart was a common man despite his talent. if he lived a few years more he would have had a proper burial as they changed the law. and he was only 35 when he died.
All Sin is not the same in the Bible. In fact, the Book of Proverbs (6:16-19) identifies seven things that God hates although there is not any punishment proscribed for them. Scripture clearly indicates that God views different sins differently and He proscribed different punishments for different sins depending upon their severity.
When the Emperor mentions the meeting when Mozart was playing a concert at 6 years old the sister Antoinette who picked Mozart up when he fell was the famed Marie Antoinette later Queen of France.
Yeah and she was 6 years old too. :)
PERFECT! One of the best of the best. I can’t wait to see her reaction. I’m sure she’ll have a lot to say ha
