I totally agree that this scene alone earned F. Murray Abraham the well deserved Oscar. Brilliant acting just gives me goosebumps in this scene at the malicious madness of Salieri.
why wasn't this in the movie?? i have the movie on dvd and i've watched it many many times and not once has this scene played!!!!! that's a huge part of the movie! and i'd not seen it until now!!!
@EmmaRose473 i've seriously watched it more than 20 times and have NEVER seen this scene. i must have gotten the directors cut.... i'll have to buy a new copy of the uncut or full version. the dvd i have doesn't even have special features so this scene cant be in the deleted scenes, as there is none on mine. oh well. i could just buy a different copy. no worries.
Some people are so good to take advantage of the genial work of others when in vulnerable positions, after bringing them there...To play later the benefactors, friends and admirers, at the death of that one, comes normally as a moment of showing off for themselves! I do not believe in any repent of this guy!
Salieri did not want Mozart's death. He was more succesful than Mozart during his lifetime and his position in Vienna made competition with Mozart moot. He appreciated Mozart's music more than most of his contemporaries. Mozart valued his opinion, although he accused him occasionally of plots that were mostly in Mozart's imagination, quick to find Italian conspiracies against him. Salieri was not a genius but he was a good man and a decent composer.
I think mozart was sick of something plus his worries for money, but saliiery wanted his death so much that's why he thinks he killed him, in the movie of course cause they say it's only fiction, umm who's to know right?
@Mspuchunguita03 I believe they located his body, and found he'd gotten a crack on his head... it's said from falling down a staircase. It would have probably healed just fine... except the doctors leached him to death according to his symptoms.
Does anybody else remember, back in the late 70's when PBS had done an epic biography of the Strausses? It was in parts over several nights, one of those mini-series movies that were going on back then. Does anybody know of a copy of that movie? I bet I'm the only one who remembers this....
I just got my copy of this movie, first I've watched it since the 80's. I just love this brilliant movie. F. Murray was an amazing actor. You see him here in an amazing Oscar winning performance, then go back to his work as the over-the-top queen in "The Ritz".
@MaxMundis It is the Introitus of the Requiem, i.e., the very beginning of the masterpiece he is being paid to compose at that moment. I've always imagined that the reality of the partially prepaid commission in his hands got his mind spinning and composing already.
In reality, Mozart and Salieri were close friends. When Salieri was commissioned to write an opera, he instead chose to revive the Marriage of Figaro, and Mozart wrote in letters with excitement on Salieri liking one of his works. I've only heard one of Salieri's compositions, which I thought was a wonderful piece of music, but he was a well-liked composer at the time. What Salieri is probably most known for, besides being the star of Amadeus, was teaching Beethoven, Schubert, and Lizst.
Poor Salieri; this film forever tarnished his name even though it is fiction. He was a better than average composer but next to Mozart, he seems very limited.
What I liked so much about this movie was how Mozart had to switch back and forth from the "Magic Flute" and his requiem. It shows how stressed and crazy he became from all of it.
I would have loved to have spent time with Mozart and commissioned him to compose a piece for me..better even if I were a muse for a piece **sighs** could you IMAGINE!
As all of great art it is a combination of reality and fantasy - the lies that invoke the prounfoundest truth. Music, after all has no literal meaning, yet it conveys meanings beyond any 'accuracies'.
Just this scene itself explains why F. Murray Abraham deserved an Oscar! His conversation with the priest contains everything - slyness, ecstasy, madness!
This really did happen! I mean, it wasn't Salieri who commissioned it - it was some weird, old nobleman - but it is true in essence. Stranger than fiction.
I liked the movie but I was upset the way they portrayed his wife as a slut who would sleep around. From all I have read about them that is not true. Still a great movie though for just the music alone.
@ciciholcomb In the version I watched since the movie came out, she was portrayed as a regular person, perhaps a little slovenly or lazy. In the director's cut, she would do anything for her husband, so she was going to sleep with Saliere due to blackmail/coercion, but it was all just one of his tricks.
This is my favourite scene from the entire movie. Note the following things:
1) Salieri is wearing the mask in the opposite way Leopold did (sad in front, happy in the back). This probably symbolizes that Salieri's intentions are the exact opposite of Leopold. Leopold gave his life to make Mozart rise, while Salieri gives his life to destroy him.
2) The happy face (when Salieri leaves) symbolizes his mood. Salieri was probably smirking with his plan's success when Mozart takes the money.
People say this movie was inaccurate, but Mozart did suspect Salieri of scuppering his career at times; Salieri did - as an old man - confess to killing Mozart; Constanza - at one time, suspected Salieri of killing her husband - Mozart himself suspected that someone had given him a suble poison called Aqua Toffani... In places, it very much comes close to actuality...
I love this...After having laughed as an asshole of everyone, mocking everyone, farting, getting drunk... Finally, revenge. I love Salieri in this movie, I'm one of his supporters! And I always laugh so strong when..."The only thing that worried me, was the actual killing" hahahaha! BRAVO SIGNORE SALIERI, BRAVISSIMO! and yes, I know, it's a movie, not the actual accounts.
Just to set the History record straight........ The requiem mass Mozart wrote was commisined by a wealthy noble man who commissioned works to desperate composers and then tried to pass them on as his own.
Salieri had nothing to do with Mozarts death. He didnt help write the Mass. Mozarts student finished the mass after Mozarts death. Great movie but historicaly very wrong.
Moreover, there can be no better attempt which glorifies and exemplifies Mozart's pure genius as this film does, and that is something one can never ignore.
Also, as some people have said (and I include myself with them) this film was the first exposure I had to classical music in all its majestic glory at the tender age of 8. I didn't go out of the house and buy Don Giovanni but it offered me a fantastic glimpse of the world of classical music which i was to discover years later.
this film was not an attempt to portray Mozart's life exactly as it were. It wore its heart on a sleeve in that it was an attempt (and a majestic one at that) to portray the mythology and legend around the salieri/mozart rivalry. It was always set out to portray a legendary myth surrounded with historical characters, and it just does that and brilliantly.
If you want the history watch the history channel. We go to the movie theater to be entertained, not to be educated (whether it happens or not).
This movie is based off Mozart not a depiction of his life, and as far as I'm concerned it's an incredibly well written story using real characters on a fictional basis.
salieri did not kill mozart. salieri was not the one who asked him to write the requiem. mozart was not an alcohlic, and his character is far from what is shown on this movie. though he made jokes a lot but he was a pretty decent desciplined man.
i love the combo piano concerto n°20 don giovanni and introit, so amazing, three of my favorite mozart's pieces so well combined... tom hulce is such a sweet mozart..
Lo peor del asunto es que la gente cree la "historieta" de salieri respecto a Mozart ! Jodé qué timo! Antonio Salieri, a parte de un gran músido, fue un gran admirador de Mozart en el mejor sentido de la palabra.
It's definitely not historically accurate, but my favorite part (other than the brilliant performances) is HOW the music is presented. Watching Mozart and Salieri writing the Confutatis, then hearing it in full splendor. Gorgeous.
Salieri was never Mozart's assistant - he was director of Italian opera and imperial Kapellmeister (director of music) for the royal court, both of which were very prestigious positions. Later in life he was also a sought-after teacher, teaching the likes of Franz Schubert and Beethoven. Mozart wasn't buried in a pauper's grave - he was buried in a common grave as was customary in Vienna then. In fact, his last year alive was a marked upswing for him and he had started to pay off his debts.
loveee this movie!in high school we watched this in my piano class and my english class...I was like the only perosn who knew anything about it ahahaha
I knew a woman who was into classical music and I asked her about what she thought of the film and she kinda luaghed under her breath and expressed that the movie was far from the truth. But I like the movie anyway. I love the dark jealousy yet great admiration and acknowledgment of Mozart's greatness shown by Salieri. This is my favorite part of the film.
the only problem is that most retards learn their history by watching these "historical" movies, whether it be Alexander, Troy, or Amadeus. So 99% of the retard population will indeed think that sallieri killed mozart to steal his requiem...
Indeed - but you will know, of course, that the ageing Salieri confessed to killing Mozart, and Mozart was convinced, apparently, that someone had slipped him a slow-working poison called Aqua Toffina... He related his fears to Constanza, according to Constanza. It's on the record..
I was in high school, 20 something years ago when I saw this. I had a teacher, a science teacher whose real passion was classical music. I asked him what he thought of the film. He said it was a great film, a great interpretation, but far from the truth. If you know some real facts, please enlighten me. By the way, I'm not that retarded! I know JFK, Troy, Alexander, etc aren't trustworthy! LOL!
It's just a movie. Not the real history of Salieri and Mozart but it's an amazing movie. The two did such a great acting job. Every minute of this movie has my attention.
Contrast of music... First, dramatic Piano Concerto (No. 20); then, Don Giovanni begining (Overture); finally, the tragic Requiem. Amazing music for an amazing movie.
eh, since you seem to have a good knowledge of mozart s work, i was wondering if you could give me the title of the music you hear in the movie, the incut version, the scene when constanza gets undressed in front of salieri?
@goo83 the version ive seen [which is on dvd] had this scene, maybe you just werent paying attention when you saw it or someone skipped it or something
@goo83 gotta watch the movie, that happened even in the cut version i saw. maybe you were doing something else...im a movie fanatic. remember it like i saw it yesterday, i haven't watched this since 1995. library, if you know what those are, have this on VHS if you know what that is. roflmmfao. some even have dvd
@goo83 are you kidding? That's one of the most powerful scenes in the movie (mind you, there are a lot of 'powerful scenes' in this movie - absolutely brilliant!!!)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i always get annoyed at this movie for the total lack of historical accuracy. Salieri didn't murder Mozart, he didn't ask Mozart to write the Requiem mass, Saliere had a much smaller part in Mozart's life than he does in this movie
@elias12186 i agree with you, Salieri never actually killed Mozart in teh movie anyway.. he was just saying that he did lol and everybody already knows the Mozart died because he was sick! and Salieri probably was there for alot, just not really saying anything [liek he talks to Mozart much in the movie anyway]
@elias12186 You know - I agree that this movie is totally entertaining, and that historical accuracy isn't all that important when telling a story, but KamasutraButterfly made a legitimate comment. Instead of just saying that you disagree and explaining why, you tell her/him to "get a freaking life". The rudeness, arrogance and frequent NON-community behavior that I see often on you Tube is lousy. Anonymity is no excuse for treating others like crap when they do and say you no harm.
@lecterer I've read many letters between Mozart and his father. That has given me an insight into his personality. I don't think the makers of this movie read any of them.
So? Its a play - A drama - A work of fiction -It was never meant to be historically accurate, and Shaffer never said it was - FFS - Name one film that is?
@KamasutraButterfly The story of 'Amadeus' was never noted as fact, in fact it was noted clearly in the late 1970s that Amadeus, the play (which the movie is based on) was a fictional account of the relationship between Salieri and Mozart. Everyone by now, should know that it's a fictional account. This is one of the reasons why it received so many awards. It's a brilliant movie! The truth of the matter is, no one is really sure of how Mozart really died (whether it was fever or poisoning)
I totally agree that this scene alone earned F. Murray Abraham the well deserved Oscar. Brilliant acting just gives me goosebumps in this scene at the malicious madness of Salieri.

I really dont care that this film was inacuate. It bought classical music alive for me. It showed me the genius and I have been in awe ever since.

@booziesuzie It was not a biography and was never intended as one. it was an adaption of the play.

The movie is loosely based on Pushkin's poem Mozart and Salieri. Mozart died well off and Salieri never was his nemesis. It is a great movie anyway.

Agreed. It is the kind of movie that doesn't care that it's not historical at all. Great stuff.

I knew a woman who was into classical music and I asked her about what she thought of the film and she kinda luaghed under her breath and expressed that the movie was far from the truth. But I like the movie anyway. I love the dark jealousy yet great admiration and acknowledgment of Mozart's greatness shown by Salieri. This is my favorite part of the film.

the only problem is that most retards learn their history by watching these "historical" movies, whether it be Alexander, Troy, or Amadeus. So 99% of the retard population will indeed think that sallieri killed mozart to steal his requiem...

SLScorpioMX 2 years ago
Indeed - but you will know, of course, that the ageing Salieri confessed to killing Mozart, and Mozart was convinced, apparently, that someone had slipped him a slow-working poison called Aqua Toffina... He related his fears to Constanza, according to Constanza. It's on the record..

I was in high school, 20 something years ago when I saw this. I had a teacher, a science teacher whose real passion was classical music. I asked him what he thought of the film. He said it was a great film, a great interpretation, but far from the truth. If you know some real facts, please enlighten me. By the way, I'm not that retarded! I know JFK, Troy, Alexander, etc aren't trustworthy! LOL!

it's not about the life of mozart and the truth of his death it's more in the direction of symbolic thinking and human condition and destiny...

Contrast of music... First, dramatic Piano Concerto (No. 20); then, Don Giovanni begining (Overture); finally, the tragic Requiem. Amazing music for an amazing movie.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
i always get annoyed at this movie for the total lack of historical accuracy. Salieri didn't murder Mozart, he didn't ask Mozart to write the Requiem mass, Saliere had a much smaller part in Mozart's life than he does in this movie
KamasutraButterfly 2 years ago
1) this is a movie, go complain that Troy, or any other movie ever made is not historically accurate, the purpose of this is to entertain
2) In which scene does Salieri kill Mozart?
3) Get a freaking life
elias12186 2 years ago 27
Answer to 2: his purpose was to kill Mozart. It was as good as murder.
Answer (in part) to 1:The movie is more than just entertainment, but yeah, people shouldn't get too hung up on the inaccuracy.
astout5 2 years ago
@elias12186 i agree with you, Salieri never actually killed Mozart in teh movie anyway.. he was just saying that he did lol and everybody already knows the Mozart died because he was sick! and Salieri probably was there for alot, just not really saying anything [liek he talks to Mozart much in the movie anyway]
xxraezorxx 1 year ago
@elias12186 You know - I agree that this movie is totally entertaining, and that historical accuracy isn't all that important when telling a story, but KamasutraButterfly made a legitimate comment. Instead of just saying that you disagree and explaining why, you tell her/him to "get a freaking life". The rudeness, arrogance and frequent NON-community behavior that I see often on you Tube is lousy. Anonymity is no excuse for treating others like crap when they do and say you no harm.

@lecterer I've read many letters between Mozart and his father. That has given me an insight into his personality. I don't think the makers of this movie read any of them.

akumatiti 1 year ago
@KamasutraButterfly The story of 'Amadeus' was never noted as fact, in fact it was noted clearly in the late 1970s that Amadeus, the play (which the movie is based on) was a fictional account of the relationship between Salieri and Mozart. Everyone by now, should know that it's a fictional account. This is one of the reasons why it received so many awards. It's a brilliant movie! The truth of the matter is, no one is really sure of how Mozart really died (whether it was fever or poisoning)
