  • God I love this film... So much deep meaning to it. Makes me cry whenever I see it. I feel really sorry for Mozarts wife when she realizes and comes back to him dead... :(

  • If he was suh a genious, why was he so broke. Is a shame

  • @JonZam83 Too much drink, my friend

  • it would be hilariously awesome if this opera broke out into dubstep at 4:40

  • @MondoBeno you make no sense. are you saying mozart didnt have music down to a science? he was the one dictating everything.

  • @webros16 confutatis

  • Hey can anyone tell me what part of the requiem 5:07 is? Bit desperate I am

  • wow, the smalin channel is starting to post scrolling bar diagrams of the Requiem.

  • 5:40 "call me among the best" ??

  • @chinggiskhaan123 its actually "call me among the blessed". Very close though.

  • @pretzels2 oh thanks haha well, even if he said 'best', it would have been fine....he was back then, still is

  • is this Lacrimosa? i couldnt watch the lasts scenes from amadeus

  • 5:50 Amazing!

  • Mozart was a master of restraint, giving u moments of profound brilliance and then holding it back from us, leaving us "longing" for more, in this way, I think he knew exactly what he was doing

  • Mozart's music, which can be seen in this scene seemed to come from a divine source, he could not even explain the way in which he came to create these compositions, but I'm sure he had a good idea, regardless, his music was the only shred of fsith I had for much of my early life

  • People fart backwards.

  • this scene portray's geneius and talent working hand in hand. salieri this brilliant musician can help mozzart on his deathbed. for salerei know's and sees this talent and he must shove his envy aside because he knows that mozzart the music geneies will not be around for much longer.

    such bitter irony, yet embraced in such gracefull music.

  • Musicians Back in these days were Amazing. not like alot of today's Musicians who rely on a computer to make music.

  • One of the best movies, where talent and brilliant of Moxart stands over the mediocrity of Sallieri. Isn't in real life the same.

  • This movie is brilliant historical FICTION!!! It is a wonderful movie, but it not historically accurate, nor is it supposed to be. In real life Mozart actually respected some of Salieri's work, as did Beethoven and Liszt. Obviously Salieri was not as talented as Mozart but he still produced quality work and had influence (particularly in opera) that lasted after his lifetime as well.

  • Was anyone else waiting for Mozart to say at 7:42

    "KamehameHAAA!!!".......

  • This scene has got to be one of the main reasons for this movie getting the academy award.. such a simple scene, yet so beautiful

  • One of the rare magic scenes that american cinema has ever produced.

  • @pedropoppi The director isn't American.

  • The real haunting thought about the last scene is that Salieri believed that God spoke to the world through Mozart. Was God Himself asking for Antonio's forgiveness? The shocked look on Salieri's face reveals as much. It would've freaked me out too if I were in his shoes.

  • any one know the name of the piece? i wanna know the name of it i know it has something to do with "Requiem" but requiem for what?

  • @FlStudioUser It's Mozart's Requiem. When he begins, he starts with Confutatis Maledictis. If you get the album, it's the seventh track.

  • @FlStudioUser Its the only Requiem of Mozart ''Requiem Mass In D minor K.626'' 

  • most people i talk to have no idea who mozart really was, they just base their facts on this movie. i mean its a great movie but 90% of it never happened in real life

  • At the end Mozart is asking for forgiveness...as if to say "a higher power has given each of us our fates/abilities etc"...Salieri realizes that he has been an asshole to someone that is extremely sensitive to his opinion. Mozart realizes that he has made fun of Salieri's lack of ability. Both wanted the same thing acceptance and admiration for what was in their hearts at that moment they realize this and how profound it is that music will not die due to Salieri's role in Mozart's life.

  • Yesterday i read the whole play and it said Salieri had a wife ,in which he cheated on with Katherine "the song bird"

  • 15 people failed their dictation exam

  • For those that are wondering, the actual full song begins at 6:34.

  • buena pelicula pero no es como murio mozart y a salieri no le dicto su requiem si no a su alumno franz, cuando mozart no pudo mas y murio dejo el requiem interminable y su alumno franz termino el requiem en su honor y fue tocado por primera vez el 10 de diciembre de 1791

  • The basso continuo was always written first...

  • @qw3rtydud3

    Incorrect. Why could one not think up a melody and then put figured bass underneath it?

  • @StateProperty31 Well I'm relaying the word of my lecturer who has a PhD in music history...so tell him he's incorrect.

  • @qw3rtydud3

    Gladly. He's incorrect. 

  • @StateProperty31 I'll gladly read your dissertation on it...

  • this part of the plot is actually not true at all.

  • @atdean91

    No, but it makes an excellent story. And you do feel for the Salieri character.

  • Mozart 40

  • the music is so beautiful!!!!

  • salieri in this movie was a bad man.. thats why he was "denied" his talent. and dont forget that mozart was just a man and he didnt wish evil upon anyone where salieri was thrilled his father died so he could pursue his worthless crap he ended up making..

  • vean mi video de tom =) watch my tom's videos please!

  • Truht is that Salieri helped Mozart in Vianna.. when Mozart was young and they were friends. I know what is hard to belive that but that is true. And Salieri helped also Beethoven !

    RIP Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: 27 January 1756- 5 Decemeber 1791

    Rip Antonio Salieri 18 August 1750 - 7 May 1825

    Rest they all in peace.. the mostly our Wolfie... <3

  • 15 people are Salieri's descendants

  • Milos Forman has done one of his best movies ever!

  • Confutatis maledictis,

    Flammis acribus addictis,

    Voca me cum benedictis.

    ..............................

    The Music of God !

  • Great scene...I love when they start singing in unison.

  • 3:20 goose flesh <3 also in 5:50 <3 <3 i love this scene and the perfect music :)

  • This is an incredible scene.

    Salieri says, "I tell you, you are the greatest composer known to me."

    Then Mozart says,

    "I thought you did not care for my work, or for me...forgive me."

    I get chills!

  • Salieri is not a mediocrity, at least not as he's portrayed here. He may not have been an inventive composer, but he has the perfect ear for music, and he's an expert sight reader. Mozart may be the better artist, but Salieri has music down to a science.

  • @MondoBeno

    In actuality, Salieri was a very good composer. Much of his stuff is still played today (look up his Requiem, it's quite good!)

  • @MondoBeno May be the better artist???? Are you being serious? I dont doubt that Salieri had talent BUT Mozart was a genius as far as music was concerned and I really don't think that anyone is in a position to argue against that point. Taking the portrayal of Salieri and Mozart in this movie out of the equation, Mozart was a musical genius. Music as an art should NEVER be seen as a science. It's not a science, it's an art!! (those who do it properly will agree)

  • @MondoBeno

    I think Salieri is portrayed as a mediocre in this film not because he really was. He was actually more known than Mozart when he was alive. I think he is portrayed as a mediocre because that's how he viewed himself in comparison to Mozart. Salieri's geniusness is his ability to recognize Mozart's geniusness but his dilemma was that he wasn't able to reach the same height. And for that reason, he both HATED and LOVED Mozart more than anyone else in this film.

  • Era y siempre será un genio !

    Genius!

  • 15 ppl are deaf!! haha!! are u kidin me

  • "You say a hundred?" 0:43 * I came *

  • Comment removed

  • You go too fast, one moment please, one moment!

  • Happy Birthday, Salieri!

  • stanzi could be about 12 at 7:27

  • @elenore88 yeah i know what u mean, shes pretty ay

  • damn why did it leave out the part when salieri confesses; you are the greatest composer known to me.. or something like that. that is political/social power kneeling before the true genius right there.

  • Jeremy piven?

  • capolavoro in tutti i sensi / masterwork to say the least

  • Remember, in the movie, Salieri has the gift of recognition.

    He understands and can appriciate the genius once its showed to him.

    His curse is he cant produce it himself.

  • @Friday13thTaurus

    Salieri actualy does well "translating". What he has trouble understanding is meant to demonstrate that Mozart is a genius and the mediocre Salieri cant barely keep up until he's heard it.

  • man what an awsome movie its awmazing

  • @Friday13thTaurus

    I don't think we are supposed to know in particular, this bit was just meant to show how Mozart can muster up a melody along with it's numerous counterparts all at once with superior detail all in his head, an ability Salieri lacks. Though Mozart is orally dictating this music to him one part at a time, Salieri can only take so much so fast, which is precisely what he means when he says, "You go to fast".

  • Guys, its a movie...a work of art...poetic license and all that...not a documentary!

  • 14 people are mediocrities! :D

  • Wrong wrong wrong... Mozart died at 1 of morning.

  • @Neonalfax There is so many things wrong with this movie historically speaking. Time of death is just a small issue compared to the other glaring issues.

  • I could imagine JB coming in and helping them hum it out :D

  • 8:20 - 9:33. . . I think I just died a little inside 8'( Haven't seen the full film yet (damn slow delivery men!) but I just know I'll be in floods by the end 8(

  • magic.

  • just looked it up. altogether there are eight requiems!!!

  • This song doesnt sound like the requiem! There may of been two oversions, the one played at the end of the song and this one. I dont know! Does any one else know.

  • Did this happen for real or is it just fictional ?

  • salieri NEVER helped mozart

  • @FallenSkorm well they did compose a piece together.. but I doubt he helped him - right before his death..

  • @TomTheHarmonicaKid what piece was that?

  • @FallenSkorm Mostly known as "Per la ricuperata salute di Ophelia" (some books state the name "Per la ricuperata di Ophelia") - either way the piece was lost, however there is evidence that the piece (cantata) was composed by Mozart and Salieri with the help of an unknown composer referred to as Cornetti (also the text was written by Lorenzo Da Ponte - so I guess there were rather 4 guys, but 3 who wrote the music for it)

  • i know Salieri was crazy and disturbed, but despite all that, i can identify with him more than with most characters in any movie

  • 6:34 what is this ??? this is not requiem or i dont know requiem.Please help :D

  • @GuitaristBeasty Umm it is the requiem, Mozart's requiem.

  • @GuitaristBeasty You don't know requiem.

  • @GuitaristBeasty I dont think this is the requiem either!

  • @MrMisfortunes This is actually part of Mozart's requiem. And it is actually called Confutatis.

  • I love this movie.. I love this scene.. Just perfect. Amazing

  • 13 people died writing a requiem

  • poor Salieri... he´s just a fkn human being

  • I do very much enjoy this movie. Yes yes I know it isn't historically accurate, but it was never meant to be in the first place.

  • voca me

  • Just got the words:

    Confutatis maledictis,

    Voca me cum benedictis.

    Tattoed on my right arm.

    <3 requiem <3

  • Great movie, NOT historically accurate! Salieri was Mozart's friend not rival.  Salieri was considered the best composer in the world during the time of Mozart. He went mad at the end of his life, one reason could be that people accused him of killing Mozart which is a BS. If they were enemies why did he attend Mozart's funeral?

  • @Taenyr Honestly, people aren't sure. There are some parts he definitely wrote, other parts he probably wrote some or all of, and some parts that may have been written entirely after his death. There are a whole bunch of mysteries surrounding the thing. Apparently I was also wrong before when I said it was his student; it was another composer who was his friend. Or something. It's weird. I'm definitely not an expert, but it is quite fascinating, so I recommend looking into it yourself.

  • This picture was introduced to me by my adoring sister. It changed my life forever. I never became a musician or artist, but I realized the beauty in things. Thank you Ana.

  • Salieri imho became a kind of father figure to Mozart in this scene. Actually, he's kind of fatherly throughout the movie, come to think of it. Salieri is skilled in diplomacy, which Mozart doesn't have in this characterization. He schemes against him, but can't help showing a caring side that he might have developed if he hadn't chosen to use it as a tool of manipulation.

  • Im gonna cry, this is pretty heavy sht...

  • "Do you believe in it? [...] A fire which never dies, burning you forever?" The way that Salieri says "Oh Yes", you have to have a rock as a brain to not be moved by that.

  • and to think he [ Amadeus ] did not get the Oscar for his performance!!! salieri got it, but come on, Amadeus was so much more passionate in this film, more real!!!

  • This scene is absolutely marvelous. It gives me the chills every time i see it.... genious, just genious Mozart...

  • if fake mozzart is that impressive to watch i really wonder how it would like to watch the real one

  • Confutatis maledictis !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • simply wonderful!!!!

  • if not english accent it would be purfect

  • Thumbs up if you turned the sound up once the music started.

  • latin...such a sick language too bad only 1 place its spoken...

  • Best scene EVER!!!!!

    I love where he writes the violin parts

  • @5:14 - Mr.Salieri, you're only penning the noteheads!!

  • where is?

  • Comment removed

  • I am the Patron Saint of Mediocrity.

  • Wow, I'm not leaving you I almost cried.

  • The first time I saw this movie I thought he was dead from 2:32-2:35

  • Increíble escena y actuación! Lo mejor de esta gran película

  • what do you call it? the creative serendipity? creative resonance? Johann Kepler once wrote that his laws of motion was merely "...thinking God's Thoughts after Him."

    Salieri is picking up on Mozart's vision. It cooks. it rules.

  • AMAZING SCENE BRILLIANT ACTING BY BOTH

  • lol it's Omar Suarez!

  • Boy could I relate so Salieri.

    "Why give me the desire and deny me the talent?"

  • @studioworks1990 "It's like a lust in my body".

  • when Mozart says "Forgive me", I think its actually God asking Salieri forgiveness, because he betrayed him as you can see in the movie

  • Even if I never liked Mozart as a person. He was an amazing composer and being able to write music just like you'd write a book. Without even looking at a piano,that is truly genius. Not talent,genius.

  • @DuchessofTitanic this movie is a true rep of his personality its mainly fictional, he was very different

  • mozart's week, reedy little voice among that angelic choir is one of the most moving things in any film I've ever seen, brings me to tears each time. such a good representation of how the movie portrays him: as a weak little vessel for grand inspiration. a romanticized view to be sure, but it makes for damn good film.

  • My favorite scene amongst ALL the movies I've watched in my life. This scene is successful on so many levels! For merely 10 minutes, this little clip manages to portray the tension between the 2 leading characters, the irony, the sad contrast between genius and mediocrity, while vividly demonstrates to the audience, classical music lovers or not, the beauty of Mozart's greatest work (my opinion anyway).

  • @didi320 I could not have said it any better way. Props, bro! I totally agree!

  • @didi320 This scene also really demonstrates how (in the film) not only did Mozart have what Salieri wanted (historic talent), but Salieri had what Mozart wanted (adulation and love of the people; Mozart's desire was for his father's love and approbation in particular). When Mozart ends up apologizing to Salieri later (and I'm sure that final "forgive me," said to the air, is for his father), it is absolutely heartbreaking; Mozart apologizing to his tormentor, just for showing some caring.

  • @didi320

    dividing the world between genius and mediocrity is quite the simplistic "black and white" view of the World. Salieri was not a genius like Mozart, but he was very far from mediocrity.

    and anyway, real historians say Mozart and Salieri were never enemies like portrayed in the movie... they even composed a piece together, and Salieri was enthusiastic in Mozart´s play "The Flute" and Mozart aknowledges in his letters that Salieri would say BRAVO and BELLO all the time...

  • @didi320 This may sound funny to you, but I would seriously advise you to check out the final duel in "Once upon a time in the west." It's utterly incredible and brilliant. 

  • @didi320 - Well, I totally disagree with your analysis..Salieri was a great Musician also and it was at the time the biggest name in Europe. Of course, Mozart was superior because he was a true genius but, to say that Salieri was just a mediocre musician just because of a stupid movie and a legend based purely on speculations is really a terrible historical murder. If you area real musician yourself, then you realize how great Salieri was by studying the librettos he has left behind.

  • @didi320 so very true

  • @didi320 salieri wasn't exactly 'mediocre'. the movie just does that for the plot.

  • @didi320 I agree completely!

  • it is amazing that they can write music just as if they wrote an essay! : O

    they hear the music in my head when they read the notes, just like when you read a text and hear it in your head, unbelievable :O

  • one of the best scenes in movie history. A brilliant movie

  • @Vexanius wholeheartedly agree... and the sad things is that these two actors are not recognized like they should be in hollywood history.

  • What's the song at 5:08?

  • @efrenjh that is the requiem... they explain and say the song title in the movie

  • @ScotlandSlag i figured that much, but aren't there about 10 parts to the song? i was wondering which specific part..

  • @efrenjh As they say in the vid, the Confutatis Maledictus. Part 6 of 12. The entire thing can be found as a playlist of a user called classicalmusicguide.

  • best movie ever made

  • masterpiece

  • en misic dan smon college je l ai vu

  • This is amazing to see.. how both composers can simply hear the music and sing it back to one another as though they heard it before.. but it's also heartbreaking because I know what happens later :'(

  • They're not zippers but a vertical row of tiny buttons that, from a distance appear as zippers (the opening necessary due to the large corsets society women once wore). As for the visible crewman: It's a stagehand for the Viennese opera from the period! Candles: Maybe the fronts WERE shorter so both scene cuts would agree.  And although Beethoven was left-handed, scholars disagree on Mozart. The "power" is lime! Light rain leaves a THIN film. (You did score on the piano-continuity one, though.)

  • A great moment in this scene is Salieri's response "Oh yes" to Mozart's inquiry of his belief in hell. Salieri says he believes, and in his face you see his awareness of the fact that he is a traitor and is therefore himself consigned to said flames. But also in his face is his relishing of this fact, he hates God so much at this point; it's almost to spite him. Great acting, great moment, great writing (the best writing is usually no writing).

  • Confutatis maledictis, When the damned are cast away Flammis acribus addictis, and consigned to the searing flames, Voca me cum benedictus. call me to be with the blessed. Oro supplex et acclinis, Bowed down in supplication I beseech Thee, Cor contritum quasi cinis: my heart as though ground to ashes: Gere curam mei finis. Help me in my final hour.
  • Fantastic...absolutely marvelous scene

  • Meraviglioso...

  • Fantastic Movie !!!

  • That translation is truly far-fetched

  • And all this time I thought Salieri was evil.

    

  • @ChristianPainter in real life, while Salieri was very jealous of Mozart's talent, they were in fact friends and on good terms. he taught music to mozarts son Franz Xavier Mozart

  • great movie, but there is 1 thing hat botheres me: the laugh of mozart

  • To be honest the part I like best of Mozart's Requiem is the Confutatis but the part that makes me Chorra is tearful. (The requieim mozart is the best known example of mundo.Por put on You Tube and requiem of salieri asks me to mozart)

  • Marvelous movie!

  • epic scene from a great movie!

  • To a very significant degree, this movie predicated all I've grown to be.

  • |A brilliant movie|

  • And music too--dear music! that can touch Beyond all else the soul that loves it much-- Now heard far off, so far as but to seem Like the faint, exquisite music of a dream. - Thomas Moore,

  • What requiem are we talking about here? Whicih one is it?

  • @childkillerpro confutatis I guess ^^

  • @childkillerpro KV 626 in D Minor. Mozart's own requiem, and the last thing he ever wrote. Bits are heard throughout the third act. It's over an hour long.

    Mozart actually died with it unfinished, and his student had to finish it up for him.

    The Requiem as a whole is my favorite piece of music in general. Nothing compares to it.

  • @MrZAP17 Thanks, I'll find it.
