Amadeus (1984) "Did you know?" Deleted/Extended Scene

A deleted/extended scene that takes place after the premiere of the opera Die Entführung aus dem Serail (The Abduction from the Seraglio) in which Caterina Cavalieri questions Salieri about Mozart's marriage.

[@vigokovacic3488]

I can never get over how well the "...he had her." matched with Salieri's head tilt. Amazing performance..

[@paules3437]

That line works terrifically well i the stage version as well.

[@sirfermainclancharlie1018]

"The creature had had my darling girl" Past perfect continious😊

[@carlorachel]

Any acting academy that does not study this brilliant exchange is not an acting school at all. Masterful on every level.

[@jmw939]

The actor who played the young priest was underrated, in my opinion. His facial expressions and intonation were superb.

[@eprjct]

Yeah, he build up such a great contrast and chemistry with Murray. If Murray were the soloist who gets all the praise, he would be the orchestra who hyped him up in the first place.

[@jmw939]

@@eprjct , exactly! Well said!

[@luishumbertovega3900]

You are right, he helps immensely with the carrying of the story.

[@taylarolympia2202]

I think the best part is when she says, “ she must be dazzling in bed” because Mozarts face drops so fast it’s comical.

[@TheHappyT33nager]

Yeah that’s the best

[@gokouson180]

I just noticed... this may be one of the few Period films where none of the actors disguised their American accents. Usually they were all going for British accents. No matter where the film was set. Once you realize it though, there's no forgetting it and you became hyper aware of it.

[@nelsonying2898]

From IMDB - it explains that even though the American accents can be jarring to some, it’s actually symbolic of the native tongue in that place - German. Apparently the German language opera sections were also translated to English for a similar reason: “The accent convention in this movie is: American accents are native German speakers. Non-American accents are foreigners even if the accent doesn't match the actual language. This is why Simon Callow (British) plays Schikaneder with an American accent, while Charles Kay speaks in his normal English accent to play Count Orsini-Rosenberg, considered in this piece to be Italian (although historically an Austrian). F. Murray Abraham, an American actor, affects a slight Italian accent for Salieri.”

[@gokouson180]

@@nelsonying2898 The way I see it, it simply allowed them to use non typical Period actors. Thus we get the wonderful Christine Ebersole, F. Murray Abraham, Tom Hulce and even that priest who in my opinion was well cast. Finally the roles went to the actors who deserved them, not the actors who can fake a British accent!

[@yayoeliasgiron4892]

I like that. They don't actually speak in German, were they DO need to have an accurate accent. Sometimes in films which take place in a foreign country, they get that accent right, but still use the English language, and ironically you can get the proper language but a different accent or dialect, and that's really awkward.

[@willesnille]

Doesn't bother me at all actually. German substituted for american english makes just as much sense as german substituted for british english. The one thing I hate is phony accents eg german substituted for english with a phony german accent. Always thought that was dumb but I never appreciated just how dumb until I saw Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (I'm from Sweden) and had to endure english with a phony swedish accent.

[@SuperMarioBrosIII]

@@gokouson180 Wait I believe Jefferey Jones whom portrayed the Emperor spoke with an accent for the film?🤔

[@M1tjakaramazov]

I love their faces at 1:57. In 18th century Europe, a society woman saying that in public would be pretty much the equicalent of hiking up her skirt and shitting on the floor... 😅

[@livvyliv8722]

This scene is too literal. The theatrical cut, having her hit Mozart with the bouquet and Salieri saying "at that moment I knew" is much better.

[@AtlasBlizzard]

Agreed, I don't like the Director's Cut.

[@Psalm1267]

I think the dressing room scene is superfluous.

[@alchemira]

It's the only time Salieri being dishonest about Mozart's music : "extremely clever"

This scene was cut for a reason. It slows down the pacing and does nothing to establish anything we didn't already figure out for ourselves.

[@SlapShotRegatta22]

You bring up a good point.

[@williammasselink]

Still a lot of fun though. Glad it's in the director's cut.

It's like talking to your little brother, knowing he's crazy. In truth he is not crazy, he just listens to the music in a different way.

Looked really hard for the "Deleted/Extended Scene"... all of this appeared in the original movie.

Актер сыграл свою роль превосходно, его смех это что то!

[@doct0rnic]

yes Salieri, what did you think of the music? Salieri: "Too many notes"

[@deomartinez77]

Salieri was way too repressed to ever do anything more than have feeling for this woman from a distance. His music and life suffered because he needed to have the spine to tempt fate; to live life without fear of consequence. I am not saying be as wild as Wolfgang and do crap like cheat on your wife. But to quote Cervantes,..."Faint Hearts Never Won Fair Maidens!"

[@stopptdierussenusa4974]

not the real Salieri...

[@deomartinez77]

@[GD] Annoe Yep that's the tragedy of the ending. He basically by the end of the film is open about embracing the dark side and no longer has any shame. He is now in fact proud of himself and so he absolves himself of ever having felt guilty for doing what he did.

[@deomartinez77]

@[GD] Annoe You need to listen to the audiobook version of the script as read by the man himself. He would cheat and in that cut he does. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f56yiJ58mttsors

He wasn't repressed, he had "sold" God his chastity in exchange for talent, which he never received.

You are 100% correct. It was not included in the original theatrical release but can be seen in extended cuts of the film, directors cuts or sometimes, when aired on television.

[@williamphillips6049]

He died impoverished and was buried in a mass pauper's grave. It was all his fault of course . . A little more discipline, a little more common sense and some more discretion on his part and we would've enjoyed his genius longer. There isn't even any way to lay flowers on a grave or anything. I assume there's some monument in Vienna somewhere.

[@SlapShotRegatta22]

There is absolutely a monument in Vienna. It's located in the Burggarten

there's no genius without madness, it seems. Recently found out Tchaikovsky slept with young boys..Mozart was a saint, by comparison

[@IsaacA192]

That's not really true. He was buried in accordance to customs of the time, it wasn't a pauper's grave, it was just a common grave. They would be dug up again after ten years to be reused. Only royalty and people with high social standings were buried in graves that weren't exhumed. He also wasn't exactly poor, he was extremely popular during his time and did quite well for himself. His work went on to make his wife a very wealthy woman.
