  • wasnt this in sherlock holmes 2

  • Doskonałe !!!

  • Everyone in the audience was like "oh no, oh no, oh no" Don Giovanni breaks through the wall, he's like "OH YEAH!"

  • This is a great movie but Salieri was a great composer, not the envious loser pictured in this movie.From wikipedia: "Even with Mozart and Salieri being rivals for certain jobs, there is very little evidence that the relationship between the two composers was at all acrimonious beyond this; rather, they appeared to usually see each other as friends and colleagues and supported each others' work."

  • "What are we seeing?"

    "Don Giovanni"

    "A Don Juan story?"

    "I can only think of it as Mozart!"

    "Fucking Don Juans. They should have cut his fucking dick off!" - Judy Davis in Woody Allen's Husbands & Wives (1992)

  • 0:11 OMG Time Lord! :P

  • Most Intense Opera I have EVER seen in my life. My fave scene.

  • This is my favorite scene in the entire movie. I've had this song stuck in my head all day.

  • All that for a modest little golf clap at the end. Sad.

  • @HParker001 I think the polite "golf clap" is the audience response to music ahead of its time in the power and reach of Mozart's interpretation of the miasmic conclusion to the Opera, and Don Giovanni's life. Not repenting of one's sins is (at least for Christians) saddest of all.

  • Do such productions exist, with all these special effects? I watched a Live in HD showing of Anna Bolena at my local cinema, and even the Met didn't have nearly the bells and whistles of the various operas that are shown in Amadeus.

  • The brilliant thing about this scene is that after we see one of the most powerful finales in operatic history, the audience in the theater are barely applauding. I don't know why exactly, but this just makes what we saw before even more meaningful.

  • Dude, Mozart, at least Tom Hulce's Mozart, makes me think of Bob Geldof in the wall.

  • this opera makes me very sad.. The music is so lonely.

  • Solo con escucharlo una vez se puede decir que es el mejor compositor que ha habido en el mundo. Solo él sabía interpretar una música inigualable. Solo hay una palabra, Increible, aunque también, impactante, con tal fuerza, que a mi me ha echo llorar y tener envidia a aquellos con los que él se relacionaba. Me gustaria haberle visto interpretar alguna de sus obras, solo eso.

  • @pinami solo el no.

  • AMADEUS = ALL MIGHTY GOD

  • ...why are people clapping, the opera's not over!

  • i prefer the commendatore with out the helmet on

  • The only reason that make me proud to be italian is that I'm able to understand such a beautiful operas!!

  • Parlaaa!!! Ascoltaaa!!! Più tempoooo non hoooooooooo!!!

  • I lolled so hard at the bat thing that jumped on Leporello's head and tore down the set.

  • Such an incredibly intense, beautiful, amazing, horrifying, magical, inspiring scene. I can't get enough of it.

  • The Voice of God never sounded so vengeful in here.

  • I just crapped my pants.

  • one of the best movies I've ever saw. this scene is just fabulous

  • beautiful. perfection in every single way.

    Tom Hulce is perfect and I just love everything about this movie and this play AND this song! :)

  • Muito Bom! Legendado em Português!!!!

  • "Worshipping the sound that I alone seemed to hear"(Salieri), this is definitely one of the most dramatic utterances in all Mozart, with pre-echoes of apocalyptic doom in Dies Irae. Here is to Amadeus, a man who truly lived up to his name as "the beloved of the Gods". :)

  • I saw this opera live. I LOVE IT, and this movie, too. :)

  • Coming to Atlanta in 2012!! :D

  • I saw this movie in band class in 6th grade and i loved it!!!!! At first i thought it was a waste of time...but then i understood it.

  • I was forced to watch this movie in high school when in the 11th grade. At first I did not understand why, but for the next 2 years I secretly watched the movie at home. I don't know why, something about the music and/or story that got me. Anyway, Mozart was an amazing person, this movie is great, and you should definitely watch it.

  • @SAFXNYC , I just finished watching it in a class, am in eleventh grade now, and it got to me too! It's definitely a tribute to Mozart in that it can bring his music to generations that probably wouldn't have any appreciation for it otherwise! I agree, you should definitely take the time and watch it!

  • anyone knows if there is a video of the full opera?

  • What a dead audience.

    It should be noted though that this is not actually the final scene in the opera. The movie, brilliant as it is, plays this off as if the entire work is as black as this scene, when in reality the majority of it is quite upbeat and funny.

  • It's not very simple to understand the conversation of the commendatore and Don Giovanni..even for me that I am italian; do you think it's sounds good? for me english is the best language for songs.

  • classic

  • Is it strange that F murray abrahams acting in this movie gives me chills every time.

  • This scene is really misleading, actually. The Commendatore Scene is not actually the final scene in the opera; the opera ends with a cheeky, uptempo ensemble in which the surviving characters all agree that Don Giovanni got what was coming to him and resolve to move on with their lives. 'Amadeus' misrepresents the opera as a piece all about darkness and damnation, when it's actually, essentially, a comedy.

  • @JeeRant You think that's the biggest non fact in the movie? Never heard of a movie twisting facts for dramatic reasons.

    The scene ends as the act ends.

  • @JeeRant Actually, in Vienna at that time, it was customary for the opera to end with the death of the protagonist. So when it ran in Vienna it ended like that without the final sextet. But you're right it is a light hearted piece in its original form.

  • Thanks a lot man, this scene was really awesome. We can't imagine that Mozart died poor, in a public cemetary, he must have a statue in all the big town of the world !

  • I just uploaded this in HD, better quality.  :)

  • This scene started me off on my journey to loving the opera itself

  • After Salieri says "I can finally triumph over God" at 4:12, he makes a very sinister half smile for a split second. Adds so much to the character and the scene.

  • Comment removed

  • love this movie, I should get the whole Don Giovanni music :) I like this particular piece

  • I just saw this movie for the first time a couple days ago and I love it, I'm looking for all of the songs in it now. This is seriously one of the best movies ever!

  • Well, if a statue ever barged through my door and started singing baritone, I would be freaked out too.

  • @Lieblingsfachful that's an understatement. I'd be on the other side of the world before he started singing if that happened to me.

  • from 1:41 - 2:07 I love that the footsteps of the commodore resonate out like a gong or drum! It makes the mood sooo perfect!

  • My mom loves to walk into the room and go "DOOON GIOVAAAANNNNIII!", so this scene always makes me chuckle a little (often earning me glares from intense viewers lol)

  • @toxicjubilations Hahaha yes!

  • @toxicjubilations it's one of those odd parenting traits we all love.

  • Who is the bass singer??

  • I remember watching this movie as a kid and Don Giovanni as well as Requiem are my favorites. Have watched this many times since then.

  • In my humble opinion this is simply one of the finest films ever made.

  • The commendatore here has the best looking costume/armor in all the productions I've seen. 

  • @celebrei

    I saw the opera at the Estates Theatre in Prague 2 years ago, and the commendatore wore a similar outfit :)

  • There has yet, in my opinion been a single production of Don Giovanni that could produce the quality that came from this scene. I love the entrance. Especially when the spectere is coming down the steps. That bass drum hit on each step is buetiful. I want to learn Italian now, so badly.

  • wonderfull

  • I LOVE IT!!

  • this part is incredible!!!

  • The part from 1:40-2:10 gives me goosebumps and makes my hair stand up lol I could listen to this all day long. Beautiful and awe inspiring.

  • cette scene est vraiment incroyable, tout les acteurs son excellent Tom Hulce dans Son meilleur role ainsi que F Murray ABRAHAM vraiment EXCELLENT!!!!!!!! a voir et revoir sans modération

  • that movie...the best

  • I sometimes want to shout at the people listening "what is your problem!?!" It seems that Salieri is the only sane person in the room.

  • @repinshtrad : yes, I was always tempted to scream "what do you have instead of ears, morons!!!"

  • This scene was filmed in the same Opera house that Mozart played Don Giovanni for the first time in Prague!

  • @lothor1234 Interesting

  • lol the people applauded really "scared"

  • This is such a Tragic & Sad composition but in a VERY GOOD WAY!

  • hm... i thought leopold died after he had composed it... but maybe it was during... i dont know.

  • his father kinda looks like j.s bach in that picture...

  • One of the best scenes to one of the best movies. I love the intensity of Tom Hulce (Mozart) as he composes. F. Murray is also brillient here and in the whole movie.

  • totally agree with you about the intensity in tom hulce s composition,

  • i personally like more Don Giovanni than Magic Flute

  • Even though Don Giovanni wasn't foretold 100% accurately, it doesnt effect the overall message. Think about it, this Opera was supposed to be influenced over Mozart's depression from losing his father, he who viewed, as a commander over his life.

    Since Leopold did not favor his lifestyle of drinking, partying, living in debt, etc, it created tension. For when Mozart hears the dreadful news, he feels guilty of not lonly losing his father, but not being to prove his positive attributes to him.

  • I thought they only had black and white film in the 1700's.

  • i love this opera and this scene especially. Could listen this 5:44 forever and ever.

  • what was the opera where Mozart composed the Overture just a few hours before starting the opera?

  • amo Mozart!

  • @Gemmawebsite la ultima parte esta super intensa, melancolica, me encanta!

  • i love it!

  • One of my favourite scene from the film. When I was a child I was very scared and really inspired from this scene...

    Thank you for uploading!!

  • i would just have loved to see Mozart performing live this Opera...it's such a shame that the guy died such a long time ago...=(

  • Tremendous! 2:20 goosebumps

    I recommend looking up - S. Ramey & K. Moll "The Commendatore Scene" Don Giovanni on youtube for a much higher stage design, better singing voices, costume and even subtitles. Ferruccio Furlanetto as Leporello.

    Really loved this movie and scene.

  • My favorite part =)2 :00-2 :30

  • Its sounds and looks awesome, but this hardly resembles the actual scene from the opera. For example, Don Giovanni opens the door for the Commendatore, Leporello isn't killed too, the Commendatore keeps holding on to Don Giovanni's hand and the two get dragged to Hell together, and this isn't the final scene of the opera.

  • The directions weren't actually written down, so it was left to the director's interpretation. In his Vienna performances, Mozart also cut the last part where the other characters come in and everything ends happily, i guess because too many people thought it ruined the moment.

  • not neccaserily. It really depends on the direction at the end of the day. but i see where your comming from

  • In the original libretto, this WAS the final scene, but Mozart was forced to change it.

  • Killed? Isn't Leporello just fainting?

  • Whatever. It still isn't in Mozart's version.

  • Beautiful, probably one of my favority, if not, my favorite movie ever

  • Musica immensa, terrificante e titanica insieme.

  • Comment removed

  • The commendatore is John Tomlinson.

  • The dark side never sounded so beautiful.

  • @Ape6390 : the dark side indeed; 2:45 is what hell may look like

  • @Ape6390 You know, the commander isn't the dark side; he's sent from heaven. Sometimes, when I'm drunk enough to remember my religious days and maybe feel a little remorse, that's what really scares me.

  • what is the name of the piece that starts right at the end of this video?

  • I think it was the Requiem by himself. Maybe Lacrymosa...

  • Oh no! Excuse me. Its is of course the Commendatore scene of Don Giovanni!

  • haha I know but right at the end when it shows that archway another piece starts but not enough of it plays in this video for me to identify it

  • Piano concerto 20 in D minor, by Mozart, of course.

  • Why thank you =)

  • Sorry but it's the beginning of Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 20 in D minor.

  • I confuise that he wanted to know the piece at the and of that video. I wrote the piece at the end of the movie...embarressing.

  • How history remembers: Salieri screwed over Mozart but in the end we in the 21st century listen to Mozart and not much Salieri

  • Funny. This is an amazing piece. Mozart truly was a revolutionary writer. Pissed off a bunch of people in his lifetime. Funny though, hollywood made it out like salieri was Mozarts enemy, when in fact, they where good friends. Wrong facts, but a more interesting story at least.

  • I can remember when my mom took me to see this when I was seven and being mesmerized by this scene and have been a fan of him ever since.

  • dooooon gioooovaaaaaaannniiii!

  • Leporello is supposed to be hiding under the table. Throughout the scene he's terrified, begging the Don not to do anything crazy. The Don, of course, takes the crazy course throughout, first meeting the Commendatore's challenge, but then refusing to repent when called on to do so.

  • this poor applause in the end hurts me so much

  • I know, it's like "FFS, didn't you hear what I just heard?!"

    Mindless automatons

  • :) sorry, what is FFS? I don't speak English so good..

  • LOL "For fuck's sake", typical english expletive, pardon me! ;-)

  • Oh..I see..;)..

  • well, you have to remember, these are rich rich people watching, who enjoy stories of legends and upper themes. As the film would go on to say, if he had played in the poor theatre, he would have a great sucess, as the plebians love fantasy.

  • "Don Giovanni" is undouptly a masterpiece as a complete piece but the "Commendatore" scene alone is probably one of the most epic scenes in mankind music history....words fell too short to describe

  • I'm spelbound!!! It's taken me 10 minutes to be able to post this. I've just been staring at the monitor...I'm crazy for this music, even though I have no talent, only to listen and wonder....marvellous Mozart...my whole body is still tingling and cold...amazing Mozart...

  • talent vs .mediocrity.

    ...i love thismovie

  • This might have been considerable as the best rendition of this aria if it didn't skip a part of it just to keep it from drawing out.

    As well, the tempo is too slow, and the statue can't make his last note so he goes up. Furthermore, Leporello isn't supposed to die in this scene (or even be present). He's supposed to be hiding somewhere. Another scene follows this one where he emerges to find his master dead and all the loose ends are tied up.

  • One of the best movies ever. If not the best.

  • BEST COMMENDATORE SCENE CATCHED BY THE Camera EVER!!!trefel version much worse...dont get why the clip of him has over 170k views more...PEOPLE,THIS IS THE BEST COMMENDATORE scene catched by a camera EVER!!!

  • I've seen better but I really, really like this one.

  • I totally agree

  • @HARRYGARRY21 what are you on about

  • One of the best scenes EVER, in film history. It gives me chills & moves me to tears.

  • in my mind one of the best movie scenes in the history of movies. look at everything it does! shows mozarts inner torments, beautiful music, 2 intercutting stories,such a huge revelation, beautiful acting, wonderful cinematography, etc

  • it was, but i think they made his voice tone 2 high, and he was much more a masculine type, and he was more crazy, but on a different lvl. More in - i do what ilike and i dont care what u think crzy- but at the end of his life he was despered.

    But his dead by the freemasons is a stupid comment i think, cuz he blew their rituals in zauberflöte, like that are the only ritual they have , lol

  • OMG This is probably a wodden operahouse and there are candles EVERYWHERE! :-O

  • Referring to´this movie I think Salieri could have been a great expert of Mozart music. But he didn´t want stay in his place. But some people say that this movie ( even a great movie ) said bad comments about Salieri. He was a great composer as well. But a great tribute to classical music from a best seller movie !

  • Since this is a play there are probably a lot of details changed to make things more dramatic, but I believe it's been recorded that the only opera of Mozart's that achieved immediate popularity during his lifetime was Die Zauberflote?

  • Why are there so few claps when it finished? Is it supposed to portray the fact that the Viennese nobles didn't know good music when they hear it? I mean, of all of Mozart's music that I have heard, this is near the top.

  • Because Mozart deprives the audience of applause for most of the opera... so that by the time it gets to the end, they have forgotten about all "entertainment" and are more focused on discerning between the love of lust and the war of repentance.

  • One of the most memorable moments in the movie. I doubt they actually had dancing Hell phantoms in any production, past or present, but if I were in Don's situation, I probably would be terrified beyond belief!

  • Habia escuchado la historia de don juan y habia visto esta pelicula muchas veces, y no sabía que "don giovanni" contaba la historia de don juan, jeje. Sabiendolo, ya me imagino qe escena representa. Me encanta esta pelicula, aborda el tema de la envidia muy bien, y los actores hacen un trabajo estupendo, ademas, es muy entretenida, y me abrio las puertas a investigar sobre mozart; el y chopin son mis compositores favoritos de musica clasica :)

  • miguelbsas, A mi me gusta mucho esta peli, ya la mire 7 veces y sigo, asi como es una historia clasica, no muy precisa, pero que importa, es sublime, como por ej, Cyrano, o The jazz singer, mouling rouge, etc.

  • great music /question, im kinda new to classical kind of music and im asking if anyone knows any other musicians that compose peices like this dark operaic classical kind of music

  • There are many requiems out there (by Berlioz, Donizetti, Verdi, Brahms for example) that are quite dark.

  • Carl Maria von Weber's opera: Der Freischutz is also a very good dark opera.. about a hunter who makes a deal with the devil in exchange for human souls.. awesome part is the finale of act II when the hunter summons the devil

  • that was the most brutal opera ever

  • BRAVO!!!!!!!!

  • I love this song :] its so epic xD

  • For this film, they altered the entrance of the Commendatore who is supposed to appear when Don Giovanni opens the door himself.

  • TheLostSoulX you are right, but my son is really 10 years old and a great fan of classic music and wrote this with the help off a dictionary(just like i do) he was shocked the way you react. But no harm is done we still want to visit Rome one time. greetings

  • One of the most dramatic and best Commendatore scenes I've ever seen.

  • Salieri was, at worst, just a colleague that Mozart had a friendly competition with so they could keep on their toes. Salieri was completely delirious when he 'admitted' his guilt. I know, fictional, but still. You have to feel bad for Salieri. The dude was a good composer and all most people remember him for is his fictional jealousy and orchestration of Mozart's death. On a side note, where can I find a recording of just this music? One of the best Commentators I've ever heard.

  • To be fair, he probably was jealous of Mozart.

    If you were his contemporary, wouldn't you have been jealous? Hell, I am jealous of his talents and he's been dead for centuries.

  • "probably"? Hello? Anyone in there!? Why can't you stupid americans keep your mouths shut! You're embarassing the rest of the world.

  • I wasn't aware being an obnoxious ass was so fashionable for the rest of the world!

    Yes, "probably," because there is no contemporary evidence that Salieri was in fact jealous of Mozart. The movie's not a historical documentary, in case you did not know.

  • Why don't you set an example for the rest uf the Jew$A trash and kill yourself - 'cause you will all die very soon anyway - fucking SOBs hehehe

  • hehehe indeed, poor troll.

  • This is such a good movie and Mozart was such a good music composer way ahead of his time

  • I'm not a fan of Salieri's music, but Salieri was a concurrent, not a killer! Mozart died off a pulmonary affections and a lot of another disease. Sorry, i'm 10 years old, i am using my mothers account so don't be angry about my vision off Salieri

  • Salieri was a great composer, this story was made up by people who resented Salieri and wanted to make him seem like a villain.

  • The film "Amadeus" was based on the play of the same name by the British playwright Peter Shaffer. The story on which the play was based was fictional.

  • yeah Salieri was a pretty successful musician

  • I'm not familiar with 'Don Giovanni', but the scene with the statue isn't actually the last scene of the opera.

  • Yes, the scene of the Commendatore is not the last (after there is Questo è il fin di chi fa mal), in fact when Mozart presented his opera in Prague "Questo è il fin" was the final scene, but when Don Giovanni arrived in Vienna, Mozart preferred to remove the last scene, leaving "Don giovanni a cenar teco" as actual last scene.

  • One of my all-time favorite movies...

  • j'adore ce film parce qu'il est complet, il est a la fois emouvant, drole et dramatique les 8 oscars ont largement été mérités BRAVO!!! il est de loin le film le mieux réalisé et joué dans le paysage cinématographique international

  • I actually understanded this, looks like French classes do work.

  • Good for you but could you check your own language first...? :) I mean come on... understanded...really?

  • ...Calm down. Looks like you really want to comment on a 2 week old post. I made a mistake...who doesn't? Damn...you had nothing better to say on this great video, but comment on someone's mistake? REALLY?

  • da guy that plays mozart is pretty cute ;]

    but i luff da movieeee
