It's worth reading up on Constanze Mozart. She was an amazing example of womanhood of her time. Mozart's death left her with serious debt. She could have wallowed and drifted into poverty, but instead she became a real businesswoman, arranging for memorial concerts of her husband's work, and making sure his music was published, and also arranged for a biography of her husband to be published. Not only did she get out of debt, but she ultimately became wealthy, providing for herself as well as her two surviving sons. Constanze Mozart is the reason everyone knows who Mozart is today, over 200 years after his death.

[@unclebounce1495]

[@RDRussell2]

I'm a classically trained composer, and this movie was a big influence on me when it came out, back when I was an early teenager. Needless to say, it has gone on to become one of my all-time favorite movies. You should know that this movie is based on a play, and both the play and the movie are fictitious. Many of the broad outlines of the story are absolutely true: Mozart was a child prodigy and his father toured him around Europe as a traveling show. Yes, Mozart always struggled for money. He tried to fit in to the upper class circles, but nobility regarded composers much like servants. Having a fine composer on your staff was sort of like having the fanciest car on the block, but still was considered easily replaceable by the next hot thing. Yes, Salieri was a real person and the official "court composer." Yes, Mozart began writing a requiem mass and died before it was completed. Some of his students and followers attempted to "finish" the requiem, based on Mozart's notes and leftover scraps of unfinished work, but to this day it's a matter of conjecture how much of the requiem is truly by Mozart. (Most of the "official" version is NOT by Mozart.) The piece you hear as Mozart is buried is the "Lacrimosa" movement of the Requiem, one of the parts that was most complete upon Mozart's death. If it rips tears out of your eyes, well, hey, it's Mozart! You couldn't ask for a better composer. Besides, that's exactly what "lachrymose" means, after all. Yes, it's true that Mozart was buried in a pauper's grave, unremarked and unnoticed in the press. He was only 35. (When Beethoven died some 36 years later, all of Vienna came out for his funeral.) After these basic outlines, however, the plot takes A LOT of liberties. There is no evidence Salieri had anything to do with Mozart's death, or sat taking transcription from Mozart on his deathbed. It's really an invention of the author, and an inspired one at that. The struggle to separate artist from who the man is has been going on forever. For instance, Wagner: Brilliant composer, horrible anti-semite. Picasso: brilliant artist, womanizer and child abandoner. But the conflict in this movie is really all Salieri's, and his inability to cope with "God-given" talent in the shape of the caricature we see in this movie's Mozart. And as a piece of dramatic invention, it is absolutely brilliant.

[@moritzkorsch9029]

Good information. I am not well versed in classical music, but I can speak to some of the writing of this. Of course this is a dramatized and fictional movie script, but I feel like it makes the movie much more than a biopic. Like you said, this movie is massively influential with musicians and I feel it is owed in big part to the writing, which is focused a lot on art culture and it's dynamics - one can easily imagine this storyline in a modern movie about pop music. Salieri - just like he says at the end of the movie - is supposed to be a stand-in for "mediocre" artists who are passionate about their craft but just cannot reach the level of someone truly inspired like Mozart. They envy what they perceive as effortlessly creative or maybe even just the effect of it: being showered with attention. They could most likely learn important insights by studying how a better artist thinks, unlocking the potential in a hard worker (like Salieri). The movie is a discussion about art itself, I feel. A great scene is when the emperor critiques Mozart's play or when the chamberlain censors it. The artist is certain the play is perfect, but an "important" person will take issue with it and mess with the original vision, muddling with the art or giving feedback without value ("Too many notes"). It's a great film and I love that it inspires people and makes them feel all kinds of emotions.

[@unclebounce1495]

It's actually possibly completely accurate. What yo call fictitious is not fictitious. There were contemporary accounts who suggested rivalry and claimed Saliari did admit later to scheming to ruin him to the very end. Now, this is not "proven" with enough evidence to verify it, but that doesn't make it fictitious. And IMO, it is very likely true. Salieri wasn't a composer. he was a political bully who ruled the music world. Politician first, musician second or third. These people by the pattern of history rarely except threats to their appointed positions and despite potential rivals. So this one "unsubstantiated" account seems very reasonable. Is there enough to prove? No, very little of history is actually "provable." But there IS a contemporary witness suggesting something like that (and there are contradictory accounts claiming Salieri was almost an altruistic angel, too). Quite frankly, if I had to chose which was more likely true based on the long and substantial evidence of historical patterns, I'd say this movie (and the account claiming Salieri was vindictive and scheming) is much more likely than the alternative. So there IS evidence, it's just considered "unreliable" so dismissed. that one account is what helped inspire this potential version of events. so it very possibly could be true, or it could not be, but considered everything else we know about the circumstances and landscape of the time and the pattern of such men throughout history, i'd say it'd more like to be accurate that your saying "it's fictitious" is more likely to be true.

[@joebloggs396]

Wasn't there a plague at the time and that's why there were quick burials in unmarked graves?

[@moritzkorsch9029]

@@joebloggs396 It comes down to fortune (finances), really. The point to take away from Mozart's death and burial is that many times the greatest artists struggle to get money. Salieri betrayed his artistry in favor of riches ("actually, the man had no ear at all, but what did it matter?") while Mozart worked on his music, considering most patronage beneath him (dog scene) and distracting. In reality, if not for Constanze continuing to push and sell his works, he would maybe have remained unknown. A fate that most artists on the world share...

[@joebloggs396]

@@moritzkorsch9029 Mozart didn't manage money that well, and spent a fair amount on things like places to live. I wouldn't say he was unknown at all but composers were still breaking out of that servile status people had seen them as occupying, so he couldn't be a superstar yet. And the vagaries of fashion meant it was hard to keep in favour all the time. But there was no way his music was vanishing forever. Vivaldi vanished for a long time but eventually resurfaced last century.

[@joromo]

"The worst way to die, in the presence of your enemy" When you said that, my jaw dropped. This movie moved me as a kid. It was like a life lesson of betrayal, family, and what to do and what not to do. Trusting the right people is everything. Loyalty is everything. Family is everything. Great reaction!

[@quwykxz]

Is that truly the WORST way to die?... There are many folks who would say that dying alone is much, MUCH worse..... Friends and enemies are constructs of the living, and when you are dying, those distinctions can become very blurry, even becoming inconsequential, sometimes.

[@StoryMing]

One thing that is perhaps less obvious here is that Salieri’s envy not only ruined Mozart’s life- it ruined his own as well. He was miserable, bitter, and evidently tormented by remorse while at the same time, still also being driven by his jealousy even after he has had his “revenge”.

[@matthewfarrer8395]

What's interesting is that this was one of a set of plays that Peter Shaffer wrote in which an older, burned-out and unhappy man is confronted with a younger man whose gifts and energy force him to see his own emptiness, and who is destroyed by the revelation. Pizarro and Atahualpa in "The Royal Hunt Of The Sun", Salieri and Mozart in "Amadeus", and Dysart and Alan Strang in "Equus". Always makes me wonder what Shaffer himself might have been processing, since it's a theme he keeps coming back to so powerfully. (I'd always assumed the plays were written very close together but I just checked and they were years apart with others in between, so who knows?)

Much of the story of "Amadeus" is fictitious, in reality, Mozart and Salieri were at least friends. But the health and money issues were true, as was his relationship with his overbearing father, who was the inspiration for "Don Giovani". Thankfully , his music was all written down, and eventually transcribed and copied so everyone could enjoy it, to this day. And Milos Forman has directed a cinematic masterpiece worthy of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and all his talent. Your reaction KSO was so emotional, as the movie progressed, you were becoming tearier and tearier, so real.

[@greasher926]

Very true, however the fictitious part where Salieri kills Mozart didn’t come out of thin air, they are based on historical rumors, which then inspired the play “Mozart and Salieri” written by Alexander Pushkin in 1830. 39 years after the death of Mozart in 1791, and 5 years after the death of Salieri in 1825. This play then inspired others, which eventually lead to the film.

[@davidcooklock129]

I think the Director's Cut makes Salieri look much more evil. I'm kind of sympathetic to him. He starts out being sincere about becoming a composer for his faith, but it all goes south on him. He also (in the sanitarium) seems to accept his mediocrity, and seems proud to call himself the patron saint. The reaction by the priest to his story is really telling.

[@palpalonpalpalon]

you gotta know that the king wasnt a musician so it was really really impressive for him to practice it that fast

[@rockubtzer]

There are several theories about how he died. This movie is the most controversial of them. A composer claiming that he caused his death. The requiem mass unfinished and he did dictate to someone to help finish when he was gravely ill. Who commissioned the death mass? But as a child he had Rheumatic Fever. I had Scarlet Fever as a child I was sent home from school with a temperature of 106 degrees, 41 degrees Celsius. Rheumatic Fever is worse it causes issues throughout your life. People drank Beer & wine back then because water was not safe in big cities. Was his death caused by his drinking? He did owe money and was sadly buried in a mass paupers grave with no fanfare.

[@RobbPadgett]

[@Daniel-Strain]

This is my favorite movie in the world. Pure genius, just like Mozart's music itself. Thank you for helping me relive it with someone seeing it for the first time! I love how perceptive you are, and hearing your thoughts on it. :)

[@gluuuuue]

Yeah, as others point out, the broadest consensus among historians is that, at least based on the written evidence that can be found and so forth, historical Salieri and Mozart were actually friends, or at least, polite acquaintances who were mutually cordial to each other. The resentment of Salieri of the movie and the play is highly dramatized, based on a lot of rumor and supposition over the centuries on the circumstances of Mozart's death, though it's an incredibly imagined story. And, if you consider it, *even* in this movie, Salieri isn't actually responsible for Mozart's death itself directly. Although it's not clear just what the cause of historical Mozart's death was, he suffered a number of health conditions throughout his life, partook in a lot of clearly bad life habits, and tried various "treatments" mistakeny believed by some at the time to work that we now know are actually poisonous. But Film Salieri is convinced he helped drive Mozart to his death, which is why he "confesses" to killing him, now that he's at a sanitarium, and the entire film is his own recounting and explanation to the priest about why he feels it was him. Film Salieri's entire rivalry and resentment and animosity toward Mozart is all one-sided. Mozart dies and Salieri's the only one left to stew in the fate of his own making, where his own music has been largely forgotten even within his own lifetime. He makes peace with that and revels in considering himself the "Saint of Mediocrity".

[@ferencercseyravasz7301]

OK dear, I've been waiting until you finished watching, in order not to spoil anything. But while this is an excellent movie, the plot is simply not true. There was indeed some healthy competition between Mozart and Salieri, but their relationship was good, even friendly. In fact, Salieri helped raise Mozart's orphan son. Mozart did complain in his letters about the dominance of Italian composers and Salieri was certainly part of that problem. The source of this story comes from the fact that when Salieri grew older, he became mentally ill and in one of his bouts of insanity he said that he killed Mozart. Rumor started spreading and even people who knew both of them well tended to believe it. Peter Schaffer wrote a stage play about it, the movie is largely based on that. But on his death bed in full lucidity Salieri swore that he never harmed Mozart. And I often feel that we owe a debt to Salieri. He was a decent composer, one of the many decent composers who lived in those times, and who were dwarfed by the three geniuses: Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven. He certainly didn't deserve all the bad rap, he didn't deserve to be considered a conniving sinister murderer and unfortunately that's what most people consider him.

[@khalidcabrero6204]

The story is not entirely the play/movie's original invention. The Salieri vs. Mozart rivalry plot was conjectured by the Russian poet Alexander Pushkin a century-and-half ago. But it was a fragment that was little known. I'm so glad it inspired Peter Shaffer to flesh it out. I happened to come across Pushkin's version in my youth and thought it a bit thin. Then the movie came out, and I was flabbergasted. Fantastic movie. The one question Pushkin asked - can genius ever be conjoined to evil? - Shaffer gave a resounding answer to: No!

Interesting to note that in real life Salieri tutored not only Beethoven and Schubert (among other famous composers) but also one of Mozart's sons, who ended up becoming a very successful composer in his own right. Pretty decent legacy.

[@CalvinChikelue]

My personal favorite movie of all time. I still remember also crying at the scene where Salieri & Mozart worked together on his last piece. The same revelation you made is what makes it so tragic: If Saliei had just abandoned his anger & envy he & Mozart could have lived a long life together & friends who truly understood one another which is already so rare. Greed & lust for glory gained Salieri nothing but at least Mozart got to live his last moments at least believing that they were friends & that Salieri felt the same.

Now is 2024, 40 years pass and Amadeus was still a masterpiece ever and ever❤️

40:26 G'day! I think he knows what ballet is in its regular form. What he doesn't know is what they're doing hopping about without any music.

The Emperor's "dear sister Antoinette" who has "begun to be frightened of her own people" is none other than the Queen of France, Marie Antoinette. She had good reason to be frightened of her own people. The French Revolution began in 1789 - only three years after The Marriage of Figaro premiered - and she was beheaded in 1793.

Such a sweet, gentle soul. Y'all know who I'm talkin bout.

[@MrJimithee]

This film walks that tightrope between high-brow for the intelectuals and just plain entertaining for the common man... No mean feat! I've met so many people who were turned on to classical music, in general, due to this movie Great reaction matey!

[@ScenecrlyK.S.O.]

Thank you hun

[@ulomaogbonna3674]

I'm so glad I found you🥰!!!

[@Lethgar_Smith]

She is pretty unique

[@krissiep1317]

I love how your enthusiasm almost matches Mozart!

[@cyrilmauras4247]

Great reaction!

[@HalkerVeil]

One of the best interpretations of his life I've seen. I wish modern movies would go back to this era more often with this kind of passion and power in their performance.

Before the grave was closed, the grave digger claimed he grabbed the skull of Mozart. It is in a museum in Austria. They haven't been able to determine for certain that it is his skull yet. They tried DNA testing after getting a bone sample from his father and sister but it was inconclusive. Hopefully one day they will prove one way or the other. In the meantime, there are pictures and articles about the skull you can find online.

I just wanted to say Thank You for really showing respect and taking in this film as it should be. This is maybe in my top 3 favorite films of all time and a lot of reactors just bumble through it and it breaks my heart. It's such a beautiful work of art. You're a great and thoughtful person so I guess I shouldn't be surprised but Thank You just the same 😺

[@ScenecrlyK.S.O.]

I appreciate that!❤️❤️❤️

[@firstlast5690]

Aww thank you 🥰 I didn't expect a reply. Keep doing what you do!

[@polinamarchenko1007]

I like this movie so much, thank you for your reaction! I like how this movie shows the topic of genius people - that they are often unrecognized, envied, hated, abused during their life-time and their lives are often short...the reverse side of true talent.

[@reinholdmueller4882]

Great reaction to a beautiful movie!

[@pyrettablaze86]

This is one of my favorites but they truly did Saliari dirty. In reality he was a good man and Mozart's friend. He taught Beethoven and I think Handel as well as Mozart's children. And he paid for his grave if memory serves, or he would have ended up in a potter's field since he died a debtor. Stanze is a real one, for sure, God bless her. Fun fact, in the Broadway version of this Mark Hamill starred in the title role opposite Ian McKellen as Saliari. Wish I could see that.

"Amadeus" - "Beloved of God." The magnitude of beauty, sorrow, unfairness, envy, and evil vividly illustrated in this movie is unparalleled. A heavy, unforgettable masterpiece.😢

[@davidwilkins5932]

Great reaction! Extremely few reactors have featured this modern classic.

[@conureron3792]

One of my all time favorite movies!

[@dayzeethecozy]

I really love your take on the movie

[@kennymonty8206]

When the Emperor was telling the story about Marie Antoinette, I thought of later when she was told that there was no more grain to make bread for the people, and she recommended brioche. What a fool she must have been. Oh well, she paid dearly in the place de revolution.

[@allenanderson4911]

When I was a boy I prayed intensely that God would make me a musician...and please DON'T ever make me famous!! Stage Fright

[@merryn96]

Take what I'm going to say with a grain of salt, but according to some books I've read on Mozart, he was in love with Constanze's older sister Aloysia. When she rejected him, he was devastated, but then got manipulated into marrying Constanze by her mother who saw the marriage as an opportunity to get the family rich and famous. He was a great artist, but not exactly a great person. He was happy to spend more money than they had on alcohol and gambling, his wife was happy to spend money on ostentatious parties and latest fashion. When he was sick and dying at home, she was somewhere at a spa with another man, I believe (but that's probably the very part of this comment that has the least evidentiary support). When she got back, she decided to spare the expense and not organise his funeral. She was also very much in debt because of their previous lifestyle. Then she took great care in publishing and preserving his music to have a comfortable lifestyle from then on. Salieri, on the other hand, was probably one of Mozart's (very few) true friends. He wasn't afraid to call him out, but they supported each other in their musical endeavours and Salieri truly did several things that helped Mozart gain favour of some "important" people. It is believed that this movie is based on rumours surrounding Mozart's death (he most probably died after a short sickness accompanied by high fever) that actually could have been spread by Constanze. His funeral was attended by only three people. One of them was Salieri, none of them was his wife.

[@BCTMarcus]

Mozart died way too young, that's true, during a heavy flu epidemic in Vienna, but this might be of some comfort to you: he died in the loving presence of his wife, sister-in-law and maybe a servant or two. He was buried in a 3rd class grave (not in a mass grave), but Constanze was ill and could not attend the burial. When she got her health back and visited the cemetery, no one could tell her where her husband's grave was, because so many people had died and been buried during that epidemic. I hope that Salieri will not become a name of evil for you. He was a rival of Mozart, but also a colleague in arts. He visited many performances of The Magic Flute, and praised Mozart openly. Later in his life, Salieri became the beloved teacher of f.i. Beethoven, Schubert and Liszt, who had nothing but praise for him. This movie was based on a lyrical drama written by Alexander Pushkin ("Mozart & Salieri"), and Peter Shaffer used it for his stage play "Amadeus". It's a great piece and a splendid movie, but it's not the historical truth.

[@gmunden1]

I have been to St. Marx Cemetery in Vienna. There is a monument built in his honor at the approximate location of Mozart's burial site. Other famous composers are buried nearby. Salieri is buried at the Vienna Central Cemetery. Emperor Joseph II is interred in the Royal crypt of the Capuchin Church in a modest copper crypt in front of the massive tombs of his mother Empress Marie Theresa and his father Emperor Francis I.

[@QuayNemSorr]

Every time I watch this I am hit with the sorrow that Mozart died so young. Imagine all the music that was never written. The amount of genius the world was deprived.

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

Mozart did probably have several great works in him as he became a mature, older adult. He did train Beethoven, though.

[@MisterWondrous]

Agree about the envious. I saw a fresh copy of Amadeus on the big screen the night it came out, and it was glorious, and I wanted it to keep going, it was so beautiful, in stark comparison to the bleak Boston winter outside. I later got to be in Black Rainbow with Tom Hulse, the genius who played the genius in this film. Small film. Nothing like this. I shared your tears for Wolfy.

[@RussellStClair-cy1vu]

This Immortal Beloved and the Legend of 1900 . Some of the best music base stories about people .

[@thenungzo]

One of my favorite movies. Love your reaction. 😎😎
