  • Fun that Salieri has the composer's medal XD

  • Nobody knows how Mozart truly died, but 90% musical scholars believe Mozart was suffering from either kidney failure (because of the amount of alcohol he drank), or typhoid fever. His kidneys were failing and he vomited much blood. He was convulsing and fainting a few times. He died 55 minutes after midnight in December. This movie does not do justice to his sad and violent end 

  • There's records saying you could smell Mozart's body rotting from the inside out, practically a week before his death. :(

  • Her comment about "I regret we have no servants to show you out, Herr Salieri" and her frosty treatment of Salieri only makes sense when you've seen the director's cut, when she came back and got undressed and he ordered her out during it ... explains a lot!

  • 7:35 noooooooooooooooooooo mozart nooooooooooo :'( :'( :'(

  • @romenx0081 T.T  D':

  • @jmitterii - In this movie, Salieri didn't poison Mozart, he just believed it was his fault for his death, because he basically worked Mozart to death to finish that Requiem. Just in case you thought that they made Salieri poison Mozart in this movie.

  • "stay with me while I sleep a little" that sounds so intimate lol

  • Note to all: this movie is fiction. Mozart's death was not like this at all. It was long and agonizing. He died swollen in the abdomen and very puffed up throughout all his limp nodes. Accounts of his death from one of his son's a toddler at the time recounts it. And he wasn't poisoned by Salieri. It was probably an illness that turned got worse.

  • "show me that you need me?"  ... hello lady. he's dying and you still ask him that? maybe after he dies then you'll realize what he's showing you.

  • Comment removed

  • you go too fast do you have it? you go too fast do you have it!

  • so Mozart spoke slang american? XD

  • He looked creepy at 7:43.

    ...I screamed.

  • probably the worst thing you could hear from your enemy on his deathbed: "forgive me."

    powerful stuff.

  • I think Mozart died of depression, remember when he said that the requiem mass "it's killing me"? I think the requiem mass made him overly depressed

  • CandyLoveSteven Mozart had many diseases in his life, pocks, chronic kidney diseases for example. No doctor of the 18th century could have safe him in December 1791.

  • mozart died beacause of stanzi, salieri, his father, the maid, and him...

  • i love lacrimosa

  • he worked himself to death, Salieri DIDNT kill him

  • @homeygeorge102 You could be confused about Mozart's death. Really, a recently documentary about Mozart's sickness at "Momentum Channel", told that Mozart, few days before he was sick, ate undercooked pork ribs. When a person ate these undercooked pork ribs, acquires trichinosis!! Maybe Mozart dead by this sickness!!!

  • this part doesn't make sense without having watched the directors cut

  • "Do you want to rest a minute?"

    "No, I'm not tired at all."

    I'm pretty sure that Mozart meant that he was tired Salieri.

  • sooo...don't get him to a doctor, let's just leave him in bed to DIE!!! smh

  • And the moral of the tale: Religion drives you insane!

    The character Salieri is the perfect example of this. He tried to defeat an omnipotent, all knowing being (God) which is impossible if it existed and similarly impossible if it doesn't exist. Only an insane person would try to do it.

  • wonderfull acting

  • @homeygeorge102 he basically worked him 2 death by making him write a song for when he dies of exhaustion. poor mozart.

  • @Akins560

    Not at all. He died from organ failure. Would've happened in any case.

  • @Akins560 You know, that didn't actually happen...

  • Mozart, gênio da humanidade. Humano.

    Sim, quem foi Salieri?

  • I feel sad for his son :(

  • i like Salieri, he is the bestest friend mozart could have not rival

  • headlights on the carriage?

  • there goes a musical god gone

  • I never understood why Stanzie got so angry at Salieri in this scene, glad I watched the director's cut! 

  • @33rosyposy moron the those scenes are the same as the theatrical release

  • @Afroxec I was referring to the scene where Mozart's wife started stripping for Salieri, which was not in the theatrical release. Moron.

  • @Afroxec Calm down, I was referring to the scene where Mozart's wife started stripping for Salieri, which was not in the theatrical release.

  • @33rosyposy thats is right. when i saw that scene i was aghast too...

  • @homeygeorge102 no he didn't .. Salieri was actually Mozart's best friend !

  • great movie but there is nothing substantial to the rumor that Salieri killed Mozart -at least according to Wikipedia -it is a very poetic idea, which fitted perfectly in genious-cult of the 19. century that made Mozart the giant he is today - but within the movie the character Saleri surly did kill him

  • look how tired he is, yet he still creates something beautiful. he broke my heart

  • It has been proven that Salieri did not kill mozart. I spent a summer in Vienna studying him. So everybody chill

  • Salieri is a prick!

  • Why do I have the feeling, Constanze is deliberately looking up, when she arrives at the scene? And what is that, at 3.53 hanging right above the entrance? Is it the sun with rays?

  • ARGHHHH watching this part is so irritating. f**ken stanzi comes back when he is about to pass away. and TECHNICALLY salieri DID kill him he could have got a doctor to come and cure mozart but then he didn't, for his own fked up selfish reasons.

  • @homeygeorge102 they are theories about it and most of this is historic.

  • @homeygeorge102 it was a legend created by Rimsky-Korsakov, in his opera called "Mozart and Salieri".

  • F Murray Abraham is strangely attractive in this film. :X

  • I this movie why didn't he have a proper burial?

  • @counterstrifekid he couldnt afford it

  • Remember what Mozart's son Karl said about him dying from "internal disintegration"? Whatever that is, it really can't be good...maybe it's some kind of necrotizing strep disease. O_O

  • Leibnitz made it to the funeral.

  • Heart breaking!

  • wow!

  • @homeygeorge102 in a way he did, but a few years after mozart die he blame himself for killing him

  • @homeygeorge102 Salieri claimed he murdered Mozart late in his life. It quickly spread around the music-world. Many claimed Salieri was insane when he claimed this. Peter Schaeffer, the author of the award-winning play which the movie was based upon, decided to take Salieri at his word.

  • @homeygeorge102 Mozart died from a hear attack due to natural causes, the reason why they wrote down that salieri killed him was because it sells doesn't it?

  • "do you have it!"

    "you go to fast"

    "DO YOU HAVE IT"

    "YOU GO TO FAST"

    LOL!!!

  • @homeygeorge102 either...that was Sussmeyer, his pupil. 

  • @homeygeorge102 no, he didn't kill him and neither was he the mysterious masked man. Someone did commission, secretly, the Requiem from Mozart. It is believed that it was a Count or his emissary wanting a piece in honor of his recently deceased wife. It is believed that the Count was trying to pass off the Requiem as his own. Salieri was not present, nor did he have anything to do with killing Mozart. The composer essential drank himself to the grave. Salieri didn't help Mozart finish...

  • 9:11 why is she crying so hard....

  • @KennyParkz I guess because he was a nice person.

  • @marinadc91 lol.... do you not recognize her??.. it's a the house servant who spied on Mozart for Salieri... if she cared for MOzart so much ..she wouldnt have helped Salieri

  • @KennyParkz because she feels partly responsible

  • @homeygeorge102

    Its a myth. it hasnt been proved!

  • It is said that Mozart died of kidney failure. Here salieri does not really kill Mozart but in a piece by Pushkin he actually does kill him.

  • It's sad how this film portrays Salieri as an evil man, when in real life, he was a very generous man.

  • @tameracingdriver4915 Salieri even helped Mozart's widow and child out financially after Mozart's death yet the problem was that Mozart blamed him for the lack of success of both Don Giovanni and Figaro. This being a story many believed many years later when Salieri's music was basically forgotten and Mozart's grew in popularity.

  • It's only film and many things was a fiction, but I was crying at the end. It's a nice film...

  • There is one thing I don't understand: Wikipedia says he got two kids that grew up, but this is his death scene and only Karl Thomas is there. Was Stanzie pregnant when Wolfie died or something? It would make sense, considering Franz Xaver was born the same year Wolfie died! :/

  • @MCullenHightopp Franz Xaver was born 26 July 1791, Mozart died 5 December... so he was a baby at Mozart's death.

  • @mkarnerfors Then why isn't he in this clip? :P

  • @MCullenHightopp *shrugs* I don't know... maybe he was at a babysitter for the funeral to not have a baby bawling and messing up the mood? :)

  • @homeygeorge102 The movie from what I heard is based on a play, theirs some truth but alot of it is more of a story. There is no proof Salieri poisoned Mozart it was a rumor. Salieri himself was a great pianist and composer, there was a small rivalry but it wasn't as blown up as it was in the film.

  • i want lacrimosa played at my funeral

  • @scarface12347

    Good choice! That music might even resurrect you :))

  • Mozart wasn't really killing himself through "bad habits and behaviour". He died suddenly of a disease that may have been trichinosis or rheumatic fever, or something else -- diagnosis is difficult because of the poor medical knowledge of the time. Amadeus is a fun film but if you really want to learn about Mozart read a good scholarly biography.

  • @homeygeorge102

    Well his actions contributed somewhat to it, but more or less Mozart was slowly killing himself with his habits and behavior.

  • its makes me want to cry when mozart is the one asking for forgivness when salieri should be,.

  • oh, the baron Van Swieten attends the funeral. He was always so kind with Mozart

  • Oh, Lacrimosa! The most heartbreaking piece of music I have ever heard! Oh, Lacrimosa! Why do you torture me so? Oh, Lacrimosa!

  • Salieri had no reason to kill Mozart. At that time Salieri was more influential and well-known than Mozart.

  • @homeygeorge102 Salieri blamed himself, but never killed him... because he always wanted Mozard dead... when he did die, he took the blame.

  • Comment removed

  • @homeygeorge102 Are you serious? It's only a film!!! A good one, but a film.

  • @marianmus We will never know this... He is died at 30 years... this is so strange because kill one man whit 30 years old is really difficult.

  • @marianmus

    Salieri actually did spend the last few years of his life in an insane asylum and regulary claimed that he had murdered Mozart. Who knows if he was telling the truth or had really lost his mind. Beethoven later discussed in some of his writings the various claims from Salieri and thought it might have been true. Mozart did collapse and die amid the writing of his Requiem, which thus remained unfinished as in the film.

  • @swansuz is there someone alive with his last name? mozart's?

  • @marianmus Salieri was a serial killer of composers...

  • What's the song @ 0:16??

    Could someone please tell me? c:

  • @JustMeowMeow it is Mozarts Requiem - Confutatis

  • Find den Film lustig und gemein,sag mal hast du in der0:58 sekunde das da einfach reingestellt?Ich hatte den film vor kurzen gesehen und da war nicht die kutsche

  • If Mozart never existed, I'm sure that Salieri would have been the big composer.

  • @Michael326 If Mozart had never existed, the world would be quite a quieter place...and a sadder one.

  • @Michael326 your forgetting Beethoven

  • @rukka16

    Beethoven became notable after Mozart's time. I'm talking about during Mozart's time.

  • actual chills going up and down my spine!

  • what was the song or music called that is played right here ? it's the best music mozar wrote , for me is the best :)) is it lacrimosa or no ?

  • I think that Salieri did indeed dislike Mozart as a person, but towards the end I think he deeply regrets what he has done to Mozart (especially when Mozart asks for his forgiveness.

  • It seems they respected the dead in those days... See the people crossing at

    8:22-8:30?

  • Mozart and Salieri (as in Mozart L'Opera Rock version of them) are a cute couple :) It's obvious they like each other :D

  • Heartbreaking irony when Mozart asks Salieri to forgive him.

  • @895angela it really is ironic...and sad. okay, so he made fun of salieri. was that really a big deal? he made fun of a lot of people. sure, he was arrogant, but if there is any person who's ever lived who had a right to be proud, it was mozart. i mean, his genius is such that it makes me believe in God. how can such brilliance be random, even if trained? my mother is a concert pianist, and it is such a treasure to have a woman who used to be famous all over europe, teaching me.

  • @itried2dohandstnds4u congratulations!lucky you XD!

  • @895angela I agree. I think it's one of the most powerful lines in the movie.

  • @ItsMrBigfence I got from her reaction that she knew one of the greatest musical souls ever known by the world had passed. And also that she had in a small way been complicit in his death. Unforgettable ending!

  • LOL looks like he died of the garbageface disease. o_O

  • Wolfgang Amadej Mozart has been buried on Sacred Mark cemetery on December, 5th, 1791, in the general tomb, together with tramps and beggars. Long time a precise site of a tomb of the great composer remains to unknown persons. When wife Mozart Konstantsa later 18 years for the first time has come on a cemetery, it could not find seat of its burial place, and all the witnesses known the location of a communal grave, by then have already died.

  • Oh man. Bromance with Envy.

    It's John Knowles's A Separate Peace allover again!

    LOVE IT!

  • I liked how they made Salieri almost having a hard time. It meant he was challenged but eager.

    At the sme time, Mozart was losing himself to the music

  • Ben Kinsley is a great actor. He brought out the best and worst of Mozart.

  • @bubbahanks HAHAHAA Someone just thought Salieri is Mahatma Gandhi !!!

  • SALIARI U ASS HOLE!!!F@&%!!!!!

  • I'm glad that he died after seeing his wife and child, as opposed to after finishing the music. It's what made him better than Salieri, he loved things besides music and himself.

  • I find it brilliantly ironic how, throughout his whole life, Mozart thought of Salieri as his most closest and trusted friend. Up to his death he knew Salieri as the person who would never betray and always would be there for him, When in actuality Salieri was the cause of all of Mozarts troubles and hated him with every fiber of his being.

    Amadeus, loved of God

  • @nairda55555 This movie is fiction, you know

  • @LucidDreamTricks of course, i was refering to peter shaffers depictions of them. not the actual wolfgang amadeus mozart or antonio salieri that lived centuriest ago.

  • The music seems to be pictched higher than it actually is. But it makes it all the more beautiful. Mozart's Requiem is my favorite opus ever.

  • tom hulce has such a gentle voice, it kills me

  • Look at Mozart so pale, working with a man that hated him and just working working. I feel so bad for him.

  • What is the name of the song that starts at oo:59?Please

  • @MrBertaz

    It part of Mozart's Requiem. Specifically named confutatis

  • @MrBertaz Confutatis from his Requiem.

  • Milos Forman comes from Czech Republic. He cannot understand European culture.

  • hmm, its sad that the greatest musician that ever lived died when he was 35, penniless, and thrown in a ditch and forgotten.

  • I like mozart , firm very good

  • what is the song that plays in the funeral scene?

  • @rorschach282 Lacrimosa from Mozart's Requiem.

  • mozart's wife is a bitch

  • @syco50 Sure, because she totally knew he was going to die unexpectedly.

  • If I had to disect Salieri's relationship (the Salieri of this work of fiction) it would be thus:

    Each individual aspect of Mozart's character Salieri ranged from adoring to simply tolerating. It was the jealousy that stemmed from the not insignificant gap in their respective talents that poured the proverbial poison into what might have been a long lasting friendship. Salieri believed that talent was the result of hard work and ceaseless dedication, and thusly could never accept a prodigy.

  • Such a tragic turn for Mozart. If only people knew of his brilliance back then, he would have been burried properly.

  • oh the irony, when she says hes not allowd to work on it any more because its making him ill and when he first started working on it he said it was killing him. Very good movie

  • サリエリにとっては楽しかっただろうな。 モーツアルトの才能に嫉妬しながらも誰よりも一人の音楽家として­認めていた彼と一緒に音楽を作れたのだからね。

  • hallowed be thy name

  • @mrsexmachine759 FOR THOSE WHO WERE WONDERING WHAT THIS GUY SAID (LIKE ME) he was saying

    "Good movie, I saw this afternoon, and the scene that strikes me most is when Constanze Mozart was about only to realize he's dead. Very good performance of the actor Tom (Mozart) and the music scene. I think we decided to stop attacking Salieri to Mozart because he knows that would leave a widow and a fatherless boy, but he ended up killing alcohol."

  • i feel sooo bad for mozart dying like that, so ashamed of himself and other people, leaving his wife andonly son, and in probobly of extreme fever due to scarlet fever poor guy!!T_T

  • P.D.: tambien está buena cuando Constanze se desnuda ante Salieri, aunque no tiene muy lindos pechos xD xD xD, y nunca entendí por qué lo hizo

  • Buena película, la he visto esta tarde, y la escena que más me impacta es cuando Constanze se acerca a Mozart sólo para darse cuenta de que está muerto. Muy buena la actuación del actor Tom (Mozart) y la música de la escena. Creo que Salieri decidió dejar de atacar a Mozart porque sabe que dejaría a una mujer viuda y a un chico sin padre, pero él se terminó matando con el alcohol.

  • What's that song playing @ 7:56? Answers, please!

  • @spiritgirl41192 El requiem, cual sino. La sección es "Lacrimosa".

  • i think he did like mozart at the end, and when he felt pity for him, forgiving him even maybe, he went into all depression that resulted in his attempted suicide in the beginning

    but when he was forced to see it at hindsight to a priest, he can't keep guilting himself

  • great movie, great composer, great music ... :-)

  • Mozart's wife is irretating

  • I'd say this whole scene of them writing Confutatis (my favorite of the Requiem) is my most favorite of the whole movie. :D

  • They don't know exactly how he died.

  • "I was foolish. I thought you did not care for my work - or me. Forgive me. Forgive me"

    Mozart appeared in this movie with such a noisy laugh. He is a genius and he knows that well, so he was childish, selfish, and arrogant. But this last line is so calm, discreet ・・・.  What a development of character.

  • This movie is fantasiticly inacturate but its fucking awesome :D

    I'm saying its inacturate because Mozart had seven kids before he died and only two lived ._.

  • this is when it starts to get depressing and i start to cry OMG MOZART!!!!!!!!!!

  • i love 4:22 =))

  • What Song were they writing?

  • @TheDsAo Confutatis maledictis

  • It is GOD talking to us through Mozart..His music,his short life,his disposition and everything else he represents point to the glory of god...God shows us that he chooses whoever he wants for his glory..Even an obscure,vulgar person can show God's glory much more than any self-righteous proud person on earth... How sad it is that Mozart didnt live longer! May he rest in peace!

  • 4:36

    Graceful.

  • it be cool if it showed Mozart meeting Beetoven

  • So wait. Did Salieri hate Mozart at the end or did he actually like him?

  • @AfroNinja0077 I think he liked him as a musician but he didn't like him as human being... so actually he liked and hated him at the same time.

  • @marianmus he is just too egocentric

  • @marianmus Well, he did try to take his own life at the beginning of the movie, so I think he feels a great deal of guilt over what he did.

  • @RAINBOWHORSES I thought that it was guilt too but I think It's because he still wanted desperatly to be remembered after death so he thought he could @ least exit dramatically. But he fails at that too (he survives) and his left to live in mediocrity.

  • @hughlaurieismylife Gotta disagree with you there. Listen to what he says before he cuts his throat. He is begging Mozart to forgive him.

  • @marianmus

    Poorly put.

    I think he, Salieri, rather had great admirations for Mozart as a human being, but as a fellow composer and musician hated him.

  • @marianmus

    You didn't pay attention. His quarrel wasn't with Mozart, it was with God.

  • @ASKaPHYSICIST But Mozart was the voice of God, Salieri couldn't get at God, he could get at Mozart, at least he didn't kill him! This film is actually inaccurate, based on a play, fuck you , lol.

  • @marianmus he was just a freak

  • @marianmus Love Hate realtionship =D

  • @marianmus Justin Bieber... I hate him as a musician, but i like him as a human.
