Amadeus - The Making off - 1/6

Amadeus is a 1984 drama film directed by Miloš Forman. Based on Peter Shaffer's stage play Amadeus, the film is based very loosely on the lives of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonio Salieri, two composers who lived in Vienna, Austria, during the later half of the 18th century.

The film was nominated for 53 awards and received 40, including eight Academy Awards (including Best Picture), four BAFTA Awards, 4 Golden Globes, and a DGA Award. In 1998, Amadeus was ranked the 53rd best American movie by the American Film Institute on its AFI's 100 Years... 100 Movies list. However, the movie dropped off the AFI's 10th anniversary edition of the list in 2007.

Mozart just smiles

Amadeus is a beautiful film, when I first saw it, I was mixed about it, but it really grows on you. The story, the acting, the cinematography. Milos Forman went all out to create a lavish epic.

@MysMultilanguagesFav I was making fun of the spelling error in the title, stupid

@yh3e The making of the movie, stupid.

I saw this movie in the theater when it first came out, and two amazing things happened: 1) At the end of the movie as the credits were rolling, nobody left the theater or moved; in fact, there was complete silence, as the screen went blank and the lights came up. I've never experienced this in a movie theater before or since. 2) I won a contest in which I predicted that Amadeus would sweep the Oscars. I had never won anything before that.
