I love how Salieri from behind his mask challenges Mozart to "Play Salieri". Mozart's reaction was to pause and then say, "now that is a challenge. That is a challenge." Causing Salieri's chest to swell with pride for all of a split second before Mozart stomps on his pride by mocking Salieri and Salieri's music while he plays.
Imagine being mocked by somebody who was so much more talented than you in a field you were so passionate about. Now imagine that person dead, and you still alive, but nobody remembers you.
Salieri was a narcissist who thought he was better than Mozart. Mozart knew how great he actually was compared to his colleagues. Here he is surrounded by friends letting off steam about the condensation Salieri had subjected Mozart to. It is hilarious. Salieri didn't like the mirror he was given that night. Made him turn up the abuse he subjected Mozart to.
@@constancedenchy9801 salieri never thought he was better than mozart. He just thought it was bullshit that someone could be that better than him. He knew Mozart was better because he believed mozart had a gift only god could bestow and mozart was put on earth and given that talent to mock him specifically
The issue was simple here. Salieri promised God chastity, industry and humility. The first two he fulfilled, but he didn't have humility. God sent Mozart to him in order to give Salieri a chance to overcome his pride.
hungfao. As I have said on this page , this is a fictionalized story of people who existed . It ties in to a saying proposed by the late American Playwright/Actor Sam Shepard . In one of his plays a Character says “ It is like a game of pool . All the talent & technique in the world can’t beat you because you have magic ! “.

If we are to believe that the boy is Beethoven (even if it's historically inaccurate), I love that this scene showcases the three masters. Mozart playing Bach while a young Beethoven looks on with a smile. It's almost like the writer's and director's tip of the hat to Bach and Beethoven in a film about Mozart.
Symbolically fitting, considering that all three unparalleled musical superstars sit atop a celestial pantheon unmatched & unreached in the sheer level of artistic genius that that trifecta of dynamic brilliance conjured, devised & wove together...in those unforgettable sounds of deep parochial poignancy, swirling light hearted vibrancy, soaring triumph, pious humility, passionate reflection, thunderous power, carefree delight, joyous exaltation, divine beseeching, loving contemplation, fearsome resignation, complex intricacy, patterned delicacy & rhythmic fluctuation, all the various breakthrough styles & pleasing ear candy that that trio of transcendent musical Gods brought to melodic, finely textured & harmonized life!

I don't understand why teachers do that. This film can be interpreted in so many so different ways, and all of them need at least some effort and mind, that a child can't and won't put in. It's like making a 17 y.o. read "War and piece".

We watched this in music class, possibly mainly because of the end where Salieri and Mozart compose the Confutatis Maledictis together (because it is a nice example of music theory). I still remember when the teacher skipped the part where Constanze shows her twins; I was the only one knowing why he would suddenly skip a part of the movie (because I had watched it before) and I laughed and said 'Ah, I know why you're doing that!' XD
The worst part is you can interpret Mozart’s joke as just a ribbing on Salieri just being too serious and not as mean-spirited as Salieri thinks it is, since Mozart does seem to have a modicum of respect for him.
Exactly. And Salieri humiliated Mozart first by agreeing out loud with the Emperor’s “too many notes” crap... then he tried to make Mozart send music through the bogus Italian “committee” to become Elizabeth’s teacher. He’s likely still really annoyed by that. I would be furious forever tbh. He doesn’t owe Salieri any respect, but down deep he still does respect him, as we see in the end of the film. Also he’d never do this to his face, it’s best not to be a fly on the wall when you might be involved 😂

He was the Master of as you said Beethoven but also Liszt and Schubert. Easily 3 of the most influential musicians of their period and beyond - and he was the one educating them. On top of this is a number of other composers aswell as Singers both male and female, some actually very popular during their time. Salieri was formative to an entire period of music through his teaching at the very least.
F. Murray Abraham's physical acting was art in this film. The subtulness of the face after the fart and then talking to the priest. I was fortunate to see him years later on the stage but I can't remember the show.

The look on that boy’s face has stayed me with since I saw that film in 1987. Thank you for reminding me. This is a great thread on this subject and I’ve learnt a lot
Tasos Patriwtis because salieri really didn’t kill Mozart. I mean if course he was jealous but IRL they were friends. all the rumors of him killing Mozart made himself think he killed mozart.
Don't be: in real life, Salieri and Mozart were really good friends; Mozart sent his son to Salieri for piano lessons and his pupils were pretty good too - Lizt, Shubert and Beethoven(!) - all this is really in his mind at worse.
CESSKAR Jesus was crucified between 2 criminals, his was the middle cross. Jesus is the Son of God. As he blows out the middle candle, which represents Jesus, Salieri says "one day I will laugh at you...," meaning God. My take on the scene anyway.
Roger Bharath "i love this scene, especially when mozart plays in the style of bach. who was the little boy - was that a young beethoven?" A little too young perhaps... Beethoven would have been about 17 or so when he met Mozart in Vienna. Though I imagine he had a similar expression while listening to Mozart's work in the years prior.

To this day...when any of us 2 brothers laugh at the 3rd, the 3rd will break out the “Go on, mock me, laugh!” line
*Play "Peter Griffin"*
Whole reason I’m here
When you ask people to roast you online but you get insulted when they "go too far" 2:06
He didn't expect to be roasted though. You can see the shock on his face when Mozart starts to mock him. I think he just wanted to have Mozart play his music.
@@nelsonchereta816 congrats. You missed the joke
You gotta admit, that's one hell of a party trick. . .
Murray Abraham was absolutely brilliant in this movie... spotless perfect performance. It may be the most deserving oscar award ever..
That priest looks like he's about to lose his sht when Saleiri says "That was God laughing at me through that obscene giggle."
I watched the family guy version
I thought it was from the omen, but it was from here,
me too! that famous harpsichord scene from the omen
But it wasn’t Stewie laughing at me, IT WAS GOD!!!
Aaric Davis family guy is a shit show simpsons is better
Wait, there's a Family Guy version? I need to see this now - where can I find it?
“Play Peter Griffin”🥷
I feel you Salieri🙁God laughs at me too nonstop 24/7 +places all kinds of obstacles and misfortunes on my way all the time. I figured out I m the only one strong enough to take all the bs🤔🤔🤔
2:13 Okay, you can stop laughing now.
The look on that boy’s face has stayed me with since I saw that film in 1987. Thank you for reminding me. This is a great thread on this subject and I’ve learnt a lot
God, the atmosphere is so magical
I won't even imagine the smell, the tripper and syphilis of this room
Every time my teens laugh at me...”Go on, mock me, laugh!...Before I leave this earth, I will laugh at *you*”.
"Go ahead. Mock me! But it wasn't them whose laughing... it was GOD"
- Peter Griffen
That part when the woman says "Bandal" instead of "Handel" really pissed me off when I first heard it!
Yeah, what the hell is up with that anyway?
she did say handel
No she didn't. She clearly says "Bandal".
Maybe she's like those people today who don't know how to pronounce Nicky Minhaj
I didn't hear what she said.
Mozart’s laugh cures my depression
These young kids and their damn harpsichord music. Music just isn't what it used to be.
Abraham’s performance in this film was literally one of the greatest in history.
2:10 The cut-scene gets me everytime LMFAO
I would've hated to live back when this was the epitome of excitement
WHY I FEEL SO SAD FOR SALIERI??...
Tasos Patriwtis because salieri really didn’t kill Mozart. I mean if course he was jealous but IRL they were friends. all the rumors of him killing Mozart made himself think he killed mozart.
@@napoleonsukk7770 ya his death is a mystery
@Victoria Cser well said
I am a modern day salieri 😣😣😣
Don't be: in real life, Salieri and Mozart were really good friends; Mozart sent his son to Salieri for piano lessons and his pupils were pretty good too - Lizt, Shubert and Beethoven(!) - all this is really in his mind at worse.
1:53 That is what I would do, if someone was behind me, and started laughing at me while I was playing the piano!!!! 😂
he was like the 1st rock star live hard die young type
If Mozart says that you are a challenge, you should be flattered.
No matter how historically inaccurate this movie is it still speaks to us all about our struggles in life
I think you don't know my struggles.
The middle candle blown out...subtle. I wonder how many people got that reference?
+RobertKaydoo What does it mean?
CESSKAR Jesus was crucified between 2 criminals, his was the middle cross. Jesus is the Son of God. As he blows out the middle candle, which represents Jesus, Salieri says "one day I will laugh at you...," meaning God.
My take on the scene anyway.
RobertKaydoo That makes sense. Thanks.
@@CESSKAR yes!💪✌👌👍👏
Vienna's hottest new club is
This place has EVERYTHING!

"One day I will laugh at you... before I leave this earth, I will laugh at you."
I am believe that last note was a Bb
Nah it's a G
That's true. GOD always laughs at our plans. I love the clips from this movie, BTW. :) thanks for posting.
Such an amazing film, such an amazing scene
salieri: "go on, laugh at me"
mozart: "ok, HAHAHAHAHA!"
“It wasn’t stewie who was laughing at me….IT WAS GOD!!” (Dramatic opera tones)
Play Peter griffin 👺
Mozart after finding out Salieri's obsession with him: *Uncomfortable, obnoxious laughter*
Such resentment towards his god... powerful scene...
I want to hug Salieri when they are mocking him
Awesome acting by Abraham
Roger Bharath "i love this scene, especially when mozart plays in the style of bach. who was the little boy - was that a young beethoven?"
A little too young perhaps... Beethoven would have been about 17 or so when he met Mozart in Vienna. Though I imagine he had a similar expression while listening to Mozart's work in the years prior.
Yeah, it definitely wasn't me in this scene, although the boy really does resemble myself at that age.
He uses in fact the main theme of a duet from his own opera "Die Entführung aus dem Serail", the duet Osmin-Pedrillo "Vivat Bacchus"
One of the best operas men has to offer.
IT WAS GOD!
