Research historic events. Salieri may have been "second fiddle" in the genius category but he was respected, successful and wealthy. The adversarial relationship theory makes for good drama but lacks credibility.
@XXXDustinEchoesXXX salieri is not like the main character, he is the main character. If you really look at it this film is not about Mozart so much but the way Salieri felt about Mozart which is just as the play and the book was by Russian poet, Pushkin.
How easy it must have been to be a thief in those days. Nowadays with silent alarms, cameras in places you would least expect.. really you can't ever be completely safe when breaking into someones house anymore.
@WhopperJS Indeed, well spotted! It fits the scene because Haydn and Mozart were close friends. :)
I did some searching for that image, and it seems the inclusion of it here is an anachronism. It seems based on John Hoppner's painting of Haydn from 1791, i.e. the year Mozart died. So its inclusion here is too early: the image didn't exist yet.
@truvianni and @marianmus Thanks for the information. That building is near Prague Castle, on the top of the street. For visiting Loreta, you up the street and turn to the left. However, to go to the building (that appears in the movie like Mozart's house) you up the street and turn to the right. Thank you all by your help: I was there a year ago!
actually I am a writer I even wrote a book about called "New York's Opera Society". I also wrote an article about the aria "Contesa Perdono" of course if you care to read it you can google my name "Truvianni" and Contesa Perdono and you should find it.
@sassypinkanimallover so it is Cynthia Nixon actually I have never seen "Sex In The City" yet I know what it is and that she is on it and what she looks like though in my opinion she was unattractive even back then.
did anyone notice, look during this scene. they are running mozarts piano out of his house to play at the concert but when salieri walks in its in his room?
@scarface12347 I dont think that it necesarily means that it was happening at the same time. They had to do it that way by the way because on a carriage the piano would be bumped and could go out of tune.
This movie was on Turner Classic Movies last night. If they do as they normally do, it will come on again. Maybe you can get more info if you watch it. Great clip!
What is the name of the piece of music to which he refers, "the end of the second act". I would like to hear this 20mins of sustained addition of voices...stupid gardener and all.
How brilliant is the Salieri role? The difference between someone who is very good at their profession and someone who is a genius. Salieri knows the difference, and therein lies his pain and the tragedy of his character.
I can sort of relate to Sallairi (as he's portrayed in this film) because I know someone who is vain, egotisical and has little respect for women and yet he's better then me....(more pouplar) it's sad but it seems to be a better person you have to be a vain egoist...
@thegoddescomposer rachmoninoff composed the most difficult piano piece in the world.Also dont forget about beethoven who was a virtuoso at piano. you cant get any better than that.
In the profile of Mozart, it was stated that he was a man whose sense of humour was more filled with scatology. Thus why at the start of the movie, you see him making jokes in that manner. "Ass" and "Shit". Also in the farting scene. That was just his style.
@Moranjinha There is some information on the IMDB. Most of the film was shot in Prage, in different places, streets, theatres or palaces. But I think that the Mozart's house was a studio.
@Moranjinha after imdb.... which is virtually useless.... see what wiki has to say.. but sooner or later on google someone, somewhere has at least a revelance to a reference, so i hope, though i never studied his abode where most the happenings occurred.
@Moranjinha I dont know the name of the house which was used in this film but what I can tell you is this film was made in Prague not Vienna like is claimed in the film therefore it must be a building in Prague. I hope this bit of information helps you.
have they cut out a bit in this? cos i definitely remember the line "i was staring through the cages of heaven into an absolute beauty" or sumthing when he looks at the music, or does that occur in the elusive part 7?
Forgive me for correcting a small factual error, but Anne I was Queen of England from 1702-1714, successor of William III and predecessor of George I. The emperor is refering to his younger sister, the Queen of France, Marie Antoinette, Austrian archduchess, who had very good reason to fear the wrath of her overburdened subjects, whose untold suffering was not altogether her fault. She, like many noble women, was the hapless victim of circumstances beyond all human control.
Well, i think the reason salieri is always eating sweet is because he swore chastity to god in his youth. I think that sweets are saleri's form of "indulgence"
Because of the same reason that made all political establishments in all times to limit in one or another way the freedom of art.
And the formula is: political authority
+repressive power
+need for maintaining a brainwashed society
= censorship
By the way the movie depicts the indispencable element of all censorship machines: the clique of "appropriate men of the appropriate art", who consult the authorities what should be allowed or not.
The spooky thing is, everytime I watch Mozart's dad, he looks and acts like my grandfather, who is dead, so that makes it even whackier

And among such musical giants as Beethoven's 5th Symphony and Bizet's "Carmen" and Tchaikovksy's "Eugene Onegin" and Puccini's "Madama Butterfly!"
