Its so sad how such a musical genius was buried like an animal, almost like he was just a regular person. I guess thats one of the reasons this scene is so powerful
In case anyone's interested, the final measures that Mozart ever wrote come with the big crescendo at about the 1:10 mark of this clip. From there, Franz Xaver Sussmayer picked up the movement and finished it according to some sketches Mozart had made.
This is a great scene, but it simply isn't accurate.
Mozart had a pretty standard burial, which Salieri and a few others attended. Not to mention the memorial services that were done in Vienna and a couple of other places shortly afterwards.
The idea of the group grave is just false, but I can't deny that it's incredibly powerful.
@CrazyToastie I think the standard burial portrayed through the film was a statement of how this genius was not fully lauded in his time, just another man.
When shall I stop crying on seeing this part? actually I don't want to stop

@bzradiohead18 Then again, in the end, aren't we all just regular people?

This is one of the most poignant scenes from the movie, love it, whether it is true to his life/death or not.

@SuperBIGTEL that and it also plays into the theme of Salieri being a mediocrity, that he was cheated of his 'revenge' even in death.
