  • It's amazing watching Mozart and Salieri compose the Requiem together. Mozart can hear the music in his head, and Salieri is having a tough time keeping up. He witnesses the genius of Mozart as he dictates his last piece.

  • ah, the tsundere breakthrough moment appears.

  • 1:23 you can see that Salieri's expression shows how bad he feels for Mozart after Mozart says his wife is away despite the fact he plans to slaughter him.....that actor portrayed Sal's love/hate relationship so well..definetely deserved his award!

  • @NatureofNacht - I don't think he felt bad for him, I think his expression was, "oh that bitch isn't here I can finally destroy Mozart without her interference."

  • when Mozart is dictating to Salieri the notes of his Requiem.....that is one of the greatest scenes

  • Salieri seems like a snake in the grass.

  • If Beiber, Swift and all the others had to do any thing like this... they'd be done for. That's why the creators of these operas were so amazing.

  • @austrailianpirate Yes, true -- the pop cr*p today is not even in the same category. It merely borrows the simple compositional and instrumental elements of what was "real music". Manufactured, boiler-plated garbage. I find it loud, incoherent, and very simple in its ideas, fashion, values, etc., and destructive to children. I only listen to satelite radio now -- cannot even tolerate FM radio music and advertising, or for that matter, music videos.

  • Genius.

  • E' MERAVIGLIOSO.

    

  • That little bag of money was half the receipts? Not too profitable.

  • Mozart to Salieri: "You're so good to me." Right! 

  • In reality, the friction between Salieri & Mozart was due to a long-standing rivalry between the Italian & German/Austrian artists competing with each other for favor in the Austrian courts. Mozart wrote to his father emphasizing his suspicions that Salieri was obstructing him in the court because of this rivalry. There's too much evidence that Mozart's death was due to his own self-medicating with booze and mercury to prove it was Salieri, but the tension between them didn't help.

  • RLviddy its just a movie, the real Salieri was much more symphatic, human and... even as genious as Mozart, have a look for example on his "Sinfonia Veneziana" here on youtube.

  • "Do you believe...in a fire which never dies, burning you forever?"

    "Oh, yes."

    Then why are you tormenting and sabotaging Mozart, man??

  • 8:45 to 9:01 is awesome

  • What part of "The Magic Flute" is the beginning part? with the singing 'parrots'?

  • @bronzedchance Pa Pa Pa

  • - Öhh nöuuu, my inferior brain can't take a simple dictate. Pliiz slow it down for me Herr Mozart!

  • "You go too fast!"

    "Do you have it!?"

    "You go too fast!"

    Sheesh Mozart, if he says you're going too fast it's because you're going too fast

  • Mozart, gênio da humanidade. Patrimônio humano.

    Sim, quem foi Salieri?

  • this is exciting isn't it??

  • "Time? Time?"

    "Common time. Dipshit."

  • technically salieri did write the requiem, haha it was just mozarts notes, and stuff, he was the scribe. haha suck it salieri

  • salieri is a douchebag

  • I like The Magic Flaute!

  • It is said that he died of self poisoning, because he was hypocondriac and took so many medicines, some with mercury and other substances that ended up killing him. It is just a theory, but may be valid.

  • I like the part where Mozart is composing Confutatis and tells all the music notes as if he just made them up. I know for real it wouldn't have been so easy but this scene does express his undescribable talents.

  • i know this is a stupid question bbut howd he die??

  • "You're going too fast..."

    "Do you have it?"

    "You go too fast."

    "Do you have it?"

    "Trumpets in D."

    "No, no, I don't understand!!!"

    And that's the sad part. Poor Salieri could never understand music on Mozart's level.

  • Did mozart die from alcohol posion or what?

  • @careandsweet Among many other things. He was taking various "medicines" including mercury.

    There is a great movie named "Forget Mozart". It is german with english subtitles and it is about a detective who is at mozart's deathbed trying to figure out who or what killed him.

  • @careandsweet

    most people agree that he died from something called acute military fever but in the last few weeks of his life, apparently even mozart himself thought that he was being poisoned. also his body was swollen after he died, instead of being stiff and cold, and at the time no one performed an autopsy so they don't really know for sure the cause of his death

  • Absolute genius!

  • I love how this movie, rightly or wrongly, breaks down Mozart's most famous work (The Requiem) so that the audience is given a window on to the methods of a composer creating his work! Sublime film making skills.

  • Salieri has a deep hatred for Mozart. More like jealousy, but he has a strong respect for him as a composer. So sad to see Mozart's fall.

  • is any actually true??

  • jesus christ...the beats 8:20 - 30 and the violin bit from 8:45 is spine chilling and goose bumps. mozart probably drank unicorn blood....

  • Its a shame Tom Hulce is not in most other films, he's a tremendous actor.

  • The lord did not want to leave his voice on Earth for too long.

  • Whats the of the first music??

  • Love this movie. I know he was going to die anyway, but why wouldn't they have thought to get him a doctor? Seems kind of strange that they just take him home after he passes out cold.

    Anyway, the requiem is so beautiful that I just had to buy portions of it a few moments ago.

  • @ShiniRyuk Doctors at that time had no clue about the germ theory of disease... they had no idea of penicillins... the theories of Paracelsus were prevalent where poisons and bloodletting was standard practice. Not to say that Paracelsus didn't contribute... he did do many great things, including kick off the science of toxicology.... but a doctor in the times of Mozart could not do anywhere near the things doctors of today can.

  • ugh, that constant knocking at 2:23 is annoying! i'm so glad doorbells have been invented since this time.

  • @EllenCullen831 I know what you mean. It gives me a goshdarn headache!

  • Genius scene with the composing.......

  • i liket his part bc it shows how happy salieri is when he;s working a great piece with mozart idk maybe its just me

  • @Pennyroyal91 Yes, it's true...in the end, I think that perhaps Salieri loved and admired his music more than anyone else- but couldn't let go of his jealousy.

  • I love that I understand everything that hes saying when hes composing!

  • 7:53 omg what song was he composing? NAME PLZ IT IS A MIRACLE

  • @DJTerrorest Confutatis (Requiem)

  • @DJTerrorest His Requiem Mass, probably one of his most famous works.

  • @DJTerrorest indeed it is. Every single note.

  • @DJTerrorest According to the Mozart biographies I've read, it's unclear how much of the Requiem was composed by Mozart and how much was finished by others after his death.

  • Regardless, it's my most favorite musical piece of all time. It's more powerful than anything else I've ever heard. I agree, it's miraculous.

  • "...And if you finish the work tomorrow night, he will pay you another 100 ducads"

    Oh, Salieri. You admire this man too much as much as you envy him. Why must you kill him?

  • Wonderful! This is probably my ten favorite minutes of the movie, it's great how it's all in the same part. Papageno in English, Mozart writing the requiem, it's great. I love this movie.

  • Tonic and SUB-dominant

  • the COOLEST scene

  • INTELIGENTMOZART !!!!!!

  • Hello!what is the name of the song when the video starts?

  • @MrBertaz it's a duet from the second act finale of the Magic Flute. Since it is in the finale, it really has no official title, but it is most commonly known as the Papageno/Papagena duet (Pa, Pa, Pa).

  • write that down. lol! i love him

  • d'you have it?

    yer going too fast...

    d' YOU HAVE IT?

    YER GOING TOO FAST, 1 MOMENT, PULEAZE!!!!

    xD

  • at 6:17 why did mozart just stare at him like that? i dont get it

  • @ttmarlene ehi give him a break! he needs a second to get some ispiration lol

  • @Doika86 oh so is that why? to get some inspiration? oh ok, got my answer, that all i wanted to know....

  • @ttmarlene

    if u watch the "making of" on (also on manrianmus's profile) they explain that their was something wrong with the little transmitter in Tom's (mozart's) ear, which was supposed to be playing the music which was cuing him or something

    so the blank stare is him waiting for the little radio thing to start working again

    but the people making the movie thought the stare worked well with the rest of the scene i guess, so they included it

  • @toribal I wondered how he was able to move his arms in time. Where did he do the stare? I couldn't see it.

  • @ttmarlene (According to IMDb) Hulce and Abraham were given musical cues through AM hearing aids by John Strauss. Hulce got lost, waiting for a cue, and this was included in the movie.

  • I love that Pa pa pa paaa paaa.....

    Anybody knows the name of that song?

  • @Stertje1979 papageno

  • wait whoa whoa whoa! did salieri kill mozart or what?

  • @TheCooltrix No.

  • My own dying wish is that I don't die with a Californian accent. Shame on you Simon Callow.

  • i love the Confutatis scene. such an amazing song, and one of my favorites. for some reason, i love it when they do all the music talk.

  • "Do you believe in it"

    "What?"

    "A fire which never dies burning you forever"

    Incredible tragic movie, and wonderful acting form both parts!

  • He only had lyrics for the hostias et preces, so I've heard

  • the last part, wow.

  • Whats there piece called what salieri is writing down?

  • @oneilexpress

    The piece Salieri is writing down is:

    Confutatis from the Requiem Mass in D Minor

  • Were "The Magic Flute" lyrics written in... english, -besides german-, or it's a further translation (for the movie)???? "The Abduction from the Seraglio" also seems to be sung in english in this movie... or am I wrong?

    "Don Giovanni" and "Le Nozze di Figaro" are sung in italian...

    Gracias Marian por subir la película... la he visto muchas veces, pero siempre la versión cortada ¡nunca imaginé que habría una versión extendida!

  • mozart died writing a requium (sorry cant spell) but in the end he wrote his own death requium, but that was all part of soliaries plan i belive, idk for sure buthe was so sick he passed out duringhis opera

  • Saliari's murder plan is brilliant

    I don't think it happend really but it's great in this film.

  • @Peadarisback Well, it's real theory, that Salieri wanted to murder Mozart. However, this theory was declined. And this part of movie is completly fictional

  • The tragic and strange relationship between Salieri and Mozart is the key to this story....without it, it would have been cheesy....a cheesy buddy film......But it would have been good too....

  • what part of Die Zauberfloete is that?

  • @lillyclown

    it is from the finale in Act 2: <<Papagena, Papagena, Papagena! Weibchen, Taeubchen>>

  • confutatis maledictis and lacrimosa.

    el aun susurraba el sonido de las cuerdas caracteristico de este requiem y que se escuchan en el minuto 8:47 cada que podia decir palabra ese era el sonido que sus labios hacian mostrando las ganas que tenia por acabar

  • In wich movement of the requiem Mozart died? or maybe nobody knows...

  • @DiazdelVivar Yes, he died while writing the Lacrimosa.

  • @marianmus so maybe the very end of lacrimosa was written by his student... i always thought that the very end could have a diferent notes just before AMEN... is there a picture of the original score in somewhere'?? thanks

  • @DiazdelVivar Actually, there were sketches for an amen fugue after the Lacrymosa. These were expanded upon by Dr. Robert Levin of Harvard for his particular completion of the Requiem, which happens to be my absolute favorite.(And sounds more Mozart-ean than Süssmayr's completion.)

    And if you want to see a copy of the original score, you could probably find one.(My college has a copy of the facsimile) You could probably find one in your area, just search for the facsimile.

  • @marianmus Did he finish it?

  • @DJTerrorest No, he didn't. The Requiem was finished by Süssmeyr, one of his pupils.

  • @marianmus please check footnote 65, it states that the evidence 'that he actually dictated passages to his student Süssmayr is very slim.'

  • @marianmus this was also the very pupil who helped him write his opera "La Clemencia De Tito"

  • @marianmus Do you know where he stopped?

  • @marianmus so he did have pupils :) poor man, he was a genius simply genius, genius genius genius, saliery had his mouth open with such creation of mozart, and how it came so easy and just wonderful to him, he had it all in his mind

  • @marianmus What was the result of Sussmeyrs finale? Was it up to the level of Mozart? Is it usually included when the requiem is performed?

  • @marianmus it is also believed that Süssmeyr helped him compose the opera "La Clemeza de Tito"

  • @marianmus Did he write the Kyrie?

  • @DiazdelVivar repetitive of the first one as a finale

  • @DiazdelVivar He died after the first few bars, after "judicandus homo reus," and when it goes on, the rest is Süßmeyr, although there have been other completions of it.

  • @sopralto817 is that real, an historical fact?

  • @BatsuXgeemu Well, not LITERALLY after those bars. But those were the last bars of music that he wrote. Before he died of at the very least renal failure.

  • @sopralto817 oh right, thanks for answering =)

  • @DiazdelVivar

    In the part of "Lacrimosa"

  • Lol "Will you be mine forever?" "Yes I will be yours forever!" "Come to be my little dove" LMAO WTF?

  • Salieri wasn't really a bad composer for his time, but he was sooo overshadowed by mozart that it did not really matter.

  • S: Not too fast.

    M: Do you have it?

    S: Not too fast. Not too fast!

    M: Do you have it?? Do you have it!?

    Hahahaha!! That happened almost twice in that scene. Excellent! :) His brain works like lightning and Salieri can only write so fast. :D

  • they should put the second movement of the requiem -kyrie- on this movie...

  • Envious Salieri! I cant stand him!

  • Pop pop pop pop pop pop...GOD THAT'S ALMOST AS ANNOYING AS MOZART'S LAUGH!!!

  • mozart is not a god.......god gave that talent to him..

  • @tonexable A huge theme of the film is how Salieri thinks god is cruel for giving Mozart talent and giving him only enough to know that Mozart's skill dwarfed his own. God gave salieri such an intense desire to become a great composer that it only heightened his intense pain and jealousy at Mozart's surpassing him. And It's true! A god who would do such a thing would be very cruel indeed...

  • @paulusvii97 He does not understand that God actually granted his wish: he allowed him to live and experience Mozart's beautiful gifts to the world [isn't anyone better for that?]

  • esa rola la saque en la guitarra y piano es geneal i sigo la enseñansa de mozart me desbelo toda la noche bebiendo y componiendo jajajajajjaja xd  n_n

  • I don't cry much but when Salieri offered to help him finish his funeral piece....Mozart had the saddest most vulnerable TRUSTING expression on his face. Like a child that doesn't know the evil that is in his own home. Salieri is a pathetic Mozart wannabe, and Mozart is a pure prodigy genius....Mozart is a God....a miracle of nature....un-earthly in all his gifts...

  • Does anyone know what the name of the piece is at 4:55 at that party?

  • I CAN ONLY TELLL :

    Pa-pa-pa-pa....Pa-pa-pa-pa....­pa pa pa pa....pa pa pa pa. ...papapapapapapapa....papapap­apapapapa

  • The confutatis scene is for me the favorite part of this outstanding movie.

    To hear a complex piece of music split into its parts - finally put together and resulting in one of the movements of THE requiem... simply an outrageous idea by Milos Forman/Peter Shaffer!

  • i like that dude salidore are what ever his name is in scar face he got hung out that helicopter

  • i know the character is papagino but what opera is it

  • the magic flute... die zauberflöte

  • can someone tell me what songs there making at the end

  • @andrebaker35: It's Requiem, Confutatis.

  • @andrebaker35

    they are composing requiem mass in d minor

  • Christ, you'd know this was an American production; using the word 'measure' istead of 'bar', tut, tut!!

  • Yes, and you would know this is a presumptuous British statement. I imagine Mozart, an Austrian, would probably have used "der Takt" to refer to a bar or measure of music. Talking to Salieri however, he might have said it in Italian as "misura", which is, oh my God!, like the English word "measure". So maybe the American use of measure, however polysyllabic, is the more correct as all such terms were originally Italian.

  • pa pap pap pap pa pa pa pa pa

  • @hisvorpalswords : Oh, yeah ...

  • If you notice they put a real bird in the cage lol

  • Mozart looks like the "I am a Mac" guy from the apple commercials.

  • you seen "Die Hard 4.0" ? the mac guy´s in there

  • seing mozart and salieri play off each other like that is like seeing spongebob and squidward..... except x10000000 their IQ :-P

  • @shazi95

    omg lol... :P

  • This is so inspiring!

  • mozart is the best  no1 else

  • Salieri: "...It's wonderful..."

    Mozart: "(not interested) yes yes yes, go on!"

    :D:D

  • @F0rCe77

    lol he's like "DUH! I wrote it...of course it's wonderful foo!"

  • @F0rCe77 too bad mozart died,he and salieri could have been a good music team.

  • Antonio Salieri (F. Murray Abraham) scats when helping Wolfgang Mozart (Tom Hulce).

  • What is the name of this song they are singing in the first 30 seconds? It's very cute.

  • the magic flute

  • "papageno papagena" from "magic flute"

  • Superb Requiem!

  • Confutatis

  • the best scene . i m agree!!!

  • Una de las mejores escenas de la película, si no la mejor.

    Atte: Juan Ramón.

  • i love how salieri was viewing mozart's genius in action. he's all "i dont understand i dont understand!" and then all of a sudden it hits him like the voice of angels. so beautiful

  • i love teh papageno papagena opera thing

  • Pa pa pa pa!

  • Salieri was really pushing for his death here. He knew how to work on Mozart psyhocologically, so he lied saying it was the messenger for the RequiemMass that paid all that money and that more money would come if he finished sooner. Salieri observed up close how Mozart was decaying and therefor close to a death if pushed to work faster.He even stayed with him to see that it would happen. This is how the hacks, snakes, elite and just plain power brokers work. Beware of authority- its not all good

  • In reality, Salieri never did what the movie shows. Salieri and Mozart were competitors, and Salieri never helped Mozart to on any part of the Requiem. Also, only the first movement, the Requiem aeternam, was ALMOST completely finished by Mozart. All parts of the Diraes Iras were partially done at the time of Mozart's death. Therefore, the way the movie portraits the completion of the Confutatis is completely fictional.

  • yes I looked it all up and your right. None of this ever happened which is good. Salieri never killed mozart or decieved him this way.

    What sucks is we never know how much of his requiem was completed by him or by his student. What would it have been like if it was ALL by him

    We will never know :(

  • Someone is awake!

  • those arias sound horrible in english

  • mvt. 7

    Confutatis Maledictus

  • 02: 07- 02: 12 is the best grin-sliding-off-the-face scene I've ever seen!!

  • it is nice of course to watch it here for free, but i recommend you go see this film in a theatre if you should get the opportunity.

    I saw back then when it was released, and is really very impressive on the real canvas!!

  • :D at 06: 53 Salieri was so close to burning the side of his face...

  • the moment were mozart is supposedly creating the requiem notes is amazing. . .

  • The part where Salieri tells Mozart that he's the greatest composer known to him is so incredible. The acting is magnificent. Throughout the whole movie, though. I love this film.

  • EXCELLENT actors, perfect musician.

  • thrilling to watch. This movie is absolutly briliant, briliant performances, briliant scenes like these and off course briliant music

  • Wow, Mozart had it all in his head! I wish I could write music like that (just writing notes down, not having to try them and re-write all over again).

    GENIUS!

  • good voices of this birds

  • i think they look like chickens

  • good voices

  • Wait...I thought Beethoven made that piece, not Mozart. Or did Beethoven inhance it or just do a cover or what?

  • Salieri is so cruel. He knows and he can see how ill Mozart is, he knows how overworked he is, so to make him iller, he is telling him that the 'ghost' (aka Selieri) that he wants the opera finished way before it can be. Tsk.
