kmale76 no, he realized PRECISELY that, and it made him resent God. He asked to be able to be God’s instrument, and instead he was given only the ability to recognize that God chose a vulgar brat as his instrument, not him.
Did you watched the fucking movie you pretentious fuckwit? Salieri clearly wanted to be one to be able to produce the kind of music mozart has composed. Aesop fables wannabe spinning everything around to turn it into some kind of moral.
He did realize it, but he resented it. _From now on, we are enemies. You and I. Because you choose for your instrument a boastful, lustful, smutty, infantile boy and give me for reward only the ability to recognize the incarnation._ _Because you are unjust... unfair... unkind... I will block you. I swear it. I will hinder and harm your creature on earth as far as I am able._
The writing and acting for this scene is perfect. "God was singing through this little man. To all the world. Unstoppable! Making my defeat more bitter with every passing bar." Marvelous!
My favorite line was when Constanza had brought music for Salieri to look at "Replace one note and there would be diminishment...replace one phrase and the structure would fall".

I like to think the Emperor is completely unaware of just how prominently the people around him take his yawn. To him, it's just a yawn, he's an Emperor and he's tired, no biggie. But to all of his advisors and composers it's this big "This music sucks, kill it for me" alarm. I imagine a sleepless night for the Emperor has killed many operas the following day XD
+Wolf6119 They (royalty at that time) had people around them watching and emulating what they did every minute of the day - they did not sleep, dress or do almost anything without an audience.
@clown town Like I answered to Wolf6119: Then he should've never green lit it. Right at the rehearsal he visited: "Nope!". And since Salierei manipulates Mozart, who knows if he was telling the truth?
Envy is a detestable thing. You're able to recognize the genius of your piers and that the fact that you compare yourself to them and sell yourself short or long using them as your measure is your down fall.
It is a form of poetic glorification. The person appears to be criticizing but it actually glorifying. The entire movie is a play on this classical genre.
I just can't listen to this part of "Figaro" without crying. "Une Countessa Perdono" is simply one of the most beautiful sounds ever created. The scene is additionally evocative after Mozart's passionate explanation to the Emperor concerning his layering of harmonies with the vocals.
le nozze de figaro was the best opera ever written. and still is today. mozart is the only composer tht could fill a 4 hr opera with the most memorable music of all time and by the way the reactions the count and crowed had in this movie are quite different then the way they actually reacted it was an instant hit
I think "contessa perdono" is one of the most beautiful scenes in all of opera. At least of the ones I've seen. Such great commentary from Salieri as well! Yes. Perfect absolution indeed.
I’m in tears this scene was what started my classical music journey before I hated classical music I thought it was boring but Mozart’s music was just so inducing I could not resist it. I believe if I had never watched this film I would not be here today because I had nothing to live for before classical music entered my life. I only wish I could thank him (Mozart) in person his music literally saved my life, he will always be my favorite composer for this reason.
It's true that Salieri wasn't really like he was in the film. But there's one thing that people tend to overlook. This is not a true story, this is a story told by Salieri after his mind had deteriorated into insanity. It's been proven that Salieri spent his last two years in an insane asylum after attempting suicide and claiming that he killed Mozart. So this movie is told through the perspective of a mad man, and everything that we see is how Salieri's twisted mind thought really might have happened.
RageJoona i didnt know the insane part was true, thats a fantastic take on the story. Especially for the people who have problems with the historical inaccuracy
@@quezcatolthey had pretty much zero connection and was extremely famous in his own right. There were rumours they hated each other but no evidence at all
@@JackSurvana I was refering to the movie. why would he scream he killed mozart when nobody barely knows him anymore, because he just wanted some of the fame back- and had to use his arch nemesis.
I always thought the story was that the count actually realized that the "maid" was his wife, then realized what a fool he was being, then began asking for forgiveness (all in a moment, but clearly by the time he's saying "Contessa perdono," he knows he's talking to his wife. It felt like Salieri rushed the explanation for the sake of brevity or to dumb it down a bit. Still, this scene is incredibly touching.
MoonJung82 yeah ... Have to wonder whether -- because Mozart wrote this during the beginning of the maid's employment (the maid sent by Salieri) -- it was a fantasy or maybe even supposedly real situation in his life? And the "forgiveness" part was his mind imagining Stanzi forgiving HIM (for fooling around with the maid, whether real or fantasized) ?
Antonio Salieri: The restored third act was bold, brilliant. The fourth... was astounding. Actor playing husband on stage: 🎼 Contessa, perdono 🎶 Antonio Salieri: I saw a woman disguised in her maids clothes... hear her husband speak the first tender words he has offered her in years simply because he thinks she is someone else.
My first time viewing this 'forgiveness' scene on U-tube, and seeing all these comments, so I'm not alone! I, like I geuss everyone, react to that one phrase by the contessa, and the supernaturally beautiful and perfectly woven and placed melody by Mozart, in such a way,...I'm an old cowboy from Kansas, and it brings tears to my eyes, and lingers in my thought for awhile after each time I hear it. Like the choral high C in the ninth of Beethoven, just a moment of zenith in western music.
What's amazing to me is the majority of commenters on these Amadeus clips tend to talk about Mozart's genius and the beauty of the movie but they often overlook the beauty of the music. I mean sure they will talk about it in passing but there's few real comments I've seen that seem to truly appreciate what Mozart created. I think the beauty of him wasn't necessarily the music but more the legacy of the music. And the idea that we could take what he created and make it more beautiful as time went on
The truth is not a lot of people really like his music. Most people can rattle off a bunch of Beethoven tunes, maybe a Bach piece or two, Claire De Lune for sure, but he doesn't really have a lot of memorable pieces like that. The Queen of the Night aria for sure, but if that one woman didn't sing it, nobody would know it. Even a lot of performers don't like his music. Everyone is forced to play it for recitals, and a lot of it is annoying, and very light and flighty. Nothing wrong with loving his work, but let's be real--people talk about the movie because that's all they know, and most won't go past that. Honestly, if they didn't hype Magic Flute in this movie beyond anything, would 99% of us have listened to it? A lot of people like the idea of Mozart, not the reality.
@@arryaxx263 I assume this is a joke. People love Mozart and he is enormously respected by most musicians. Mozart doesn't have a lot of memorable pieces? Holy shit dude. Eine Kleine Nachmusik. The Rondo Alla Turca from the Piano Sonata in A major, K. 331. The Lacrimosa from the Requiem. The Overture from the Marriage of Figaro. Piano Concerto No. 21 in C Major. The first movement of Symphony No. 40 in G minor. "La ci darem la mano" from Don Giovanni. These are some of the most commonly referenced pieces of music in all of Western culture.
In addition, the Magic Flute is the least hyped of all operas in this film. We dont get a review of it by Salieri and we only see most characters in passing. The Magic Flute is one of the most well-known operas of all, especially in a German speaking country like the one I'm from.
My God, Milos Forman, Peter Schaffer and Saul Zaentz, what a brilliant musical-film masterpiece you created here. Sir Neville Marriner said that he would take over the musical direction under one condition, that not one note of Mozart would be changed. The music is the 3rd charakter of the film. This was the best decission af all. To put it in Rolling Stone Magazine's words: Perhaps the best film ever made about music.
Salieri isn't an example of mediocrity, no matter how good you are at writing or playing music there's always someone better 0r someone who does something you wish you did he is exactly how every single musician feels all the time
I'd say he's how every artist feels all the time. In this day and age, especially, it's very easy to find someone on a higher level than you to compare yourself to.
Oh yes yes yes! indeed, very true! I just found this video about 3 weeks ago and obviously --> love from first sight Their voice and acting are phenomenal, best version I've ever seen indeed! And I love the tears of the countess too, it truly makes all the difference.
"And then ... you know what happened? A miracle! I got dropped and hung from a helicopter! And His Majesty was suddenly transformed into a school principal chasing down some guy named Bueller! Yes, Ferris Bueller! Of course, to this day my neck still hurts from that helicopter hanging."
@@jasminnemcdonald94A F. Murray Abraham (Salieri) plays an gangster in Scarface, where he gets hung after they find out he’s an undercover cop, and the actor playing the Emperor is the Headteacher/villain in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
real good music = good & inspired melodies/tunes with good harmonies, and good & inspired melodies/tunes with good harmonies = real good music.. like the ones of Mozart, the beatles etc.. only these will be remebered and loved for many many years and stay in the people minds...
It's a shame that through all Mozart's life, the only person who truly understand his compassion and music was his arch enemy, and he was also the only person who "stayed" by his side when he died
+bailey guan This is a great movie, but the main things it states is not true...in reality EVERYONE knew, in reality, Mozart was a genius, he and Salieri were not enemies, Salieri was sure as hell not mediocre, he was great, but was, like THOUSANDS of classical musicians, overshadowed by Mozart. The rest is conpsiracy theory and fiction based on facts.
This music felt so warm and delightful as if everything around me was peaceful for a moments. Not an easy task to do to a 26 year old man who is angry at state of the world that it is today. Well done Mozart. Well done.
The original vocalists from the score for the marriage of Figaro was - Antonio (Willard White) - Count Almaviva (Richard Stillwell) - Countess (Felicity Lott) - Figaro (Samuel Raimi) - Susanna (isabel Buchanan)
the look on salieri's face is so full of overwhelming emotion (only at that moment, mind you) at 0:55 that it makes me emotional everytime i see this film. bellissima!
I love this movie, but I was actually researching for the "Contessa Perdono" scene because I'm in the chorus for a class at school THanks for putting up!
one of many favorite scenes from this movie! i love how the very man tormented by all of this is the only one truly capable of fully appreciating such great work!
Salieri should count himself blessed that he at least could understand music. That's something God gave him, more than he gave the Emperor and more than his father. But no, he wanted more, he wanted to be able to write it and not just hear it. He loved music, he truly did. But he loved the thought of his own immortality and divinity more.
Someone down there in the audience was saying:"that piece of shit up there I never liked I never trusted him. For all I know is he got ne set up and got my friend Angel Fernandes killed. But that's history I'm here he's not "
In a sense, Salieri is Mozart's biggest fan. Because unlike the audience who are there for the show, Salieri hears, the music, and knows it's worth. Like a love story gone awry, the admirer you attract may be the one who kills you : That envy, that covetous desire to possess what you do not have - in this case, that musical beauty, that talent - Salieri wishes he could experience that talent coursing through his own veins, to be able to say, "Oui, c'est moi."
Fan - rhymes with man. She's got - the look? "I want your bod"? .. Or brain? But this, is about sound. Woman, on a pedestal - the stereo? Partialism. Mind. Body. Spirit. How is a song like a woman? Stay in logic space. And wait, for another song rather? High Fidelity... Guys who like rap music, are weird.
The fact of the matter is that, unfair to Saleiri or not, there was a rumor around the 1820s that he killed Mozart out of jealousy. In fact, Alexander Pushkin wrote a play in 1830 (!) about that subject matter. I don't know the quality of Pushkin's drama but surely it must have been the genesis for Peter Schaffer's version 150 years later. In any case I look at Salieri in the film as merely a character and not as a historical portrait -- we're meant to identify with his envy and even resent Mozart a little. :)
Love the comments ... it’s a film, loosely based around two people who did exist, but it is not and never tried to be an accurate historical presentation of these two men or their relationship. It’s a film!
Salieri is often depicted in this movie as creeping about like he was spying on mozarr all the time, in real life he had a wife and daughters, and kept himsrlf very busy throughout his life writing 40 operas amongst other compositios eg piano concerto's etc, i would just love to transport myself to those days and see how it really was! mind ypu living was very hard back then!
Often REvisiting the movie Amadeus, this spectcular description by Salieri, and this is the one that captures it from that scene so descriptively, its a shame it hasnt been remastered in hd or 4-8k
I can't decide which brings tears to my eyes more. The beauty of Mozart's music or Salieri's decription of the music.
The combo makes it overwhelming.
Both
Greatness and love of greatness both inspire such exaltation and affirmation of life.
Mozart
Without the music, there is no critique.
The irony of it was Salieri never realized his gift from God was to see the true genius of Mozat's music when none of the others in his circle could.
and the tragedy lies in his envy, which is a real madness: talent is so rare that when it is... it should only be admired
kmale76 no, he realized PRECISELY that, and it made him resent God. He asked to be able to be God’s instrument, and instead he was given only the ability to recognize that God chose a vulgar brat as his instrument, not him.

_Because you are unjust... unfair... unkind... I will block you. I swear it. I will hinder and harm your creature on earth as far as I am able._
The real irony is that Salieri and Mozart have been good friends in real live.
I cannot help but shed tears of how beautiful the 4th act was. As a musician myself I have a love for music as divine as this. 😢

Something I love about this movie's rendition of Saliari is how much he despises Mozart but also how much he admires his work.
Envy is a detestable thing.

That’s the point
Give him a break, he’s just tired
Just because you're born Emperor doesn't make you an expert musician 🤷♀️
@ Ben: Between you and me, no one can harm the musical knowledge of the Emperor!!
I just saw this opera and while I loved every bit of it, it will give you fanny fatigue.
The switch in transitions when Salieri mentions what happens after 1 yawn from the emperor is a pretty nice yet simple touch by the directors/editors.

This forgiveness scene form the Marriage of Figaro is probably the most beautiful ensemble ever written .... it makes me cry
Heavenly music. Only your rival is best at depicting your worth. Mozart is a genius. His music is incomparably awsome

the opera society at my uni put this on for three nights. it was fantastic. utterly amazing! :-)
aww this music is wonderful!! ❤
I love this movie,
but I was actually researching for the "Contessa Perdono" scene
because I'm in the chorus for a class at school
THanks for putting up!
Maybe the emperor had had a tough day. You know, the supreme ruler of millions of people... Some work to do before the opera night :)
Have you seen the movie? He's a bloody moron when it comes to music.
Not his fault. Mozart was far too early.
Deus Paligorius why should a emperor be a good musician?

Because it is expected of him. And in reality the Emperor and his family were very capable musicians...
one of many favorite scenes from this movie!
i love how the very man tormented by all of this is the only one truly capable of fully appreciating such great work!
Those were the days!! The yawn of an Emperor could ruin a man's life
Yes, Antonio. The 4th was and *is* astounding.
Salieri should count himself blessed that he at least could understand music. That's something God gave him, more than he gave the Emperor and more than his father. But no, he wanted more, he wanted to be able to write it and not just hear it. He loved music, he truly did. But he loved the thought of his own immortality and divinity more.
Listening some of his work in youtube or cd.salieri is good.but mozart is even better than sslieri
Salieri was Italian and he basically made the best Italian opera ever right in front of him
This song shall resonate with me forever ❤
Level of pettiness = Salieri
The most magical moment in magical film...
Someone down there in the audience was saying:"that piece of shit up there I never liked I never trusted him. For all I know is he got ne set up and got my friend Angel Fernandes killed. But that's history I'm here he's not "
great movie..one of my favs. i've always wanted to see this sice first seeing the movie back in the early 90's
In a sense, Salieri is Mozart's biggest fan. Because unlike the audience who are there for the show, Salieri hears, the music, and knows it's worth. Like a love story gone awry, the admirer you attract may be the one who kills you : That envy, that covetous desire to possess what you do not have - in this case, that musical beauty, that talent - Salieri wishes he could experience that talent coursing through his own veins, to be able to say, "Oui, c'est moi."
Fan - rhymes with man. She's got - the look? "I want your bod"? .. Or brain? But this, is about sound. Woman, on a pedestal - the stereo? Partialism. Mind. Body. Spirit. How is a song like a woman? Stay in logic space. And wait, for another song rather? High Fidelity... Guys who like rap music, are weird.

Now 76. But considering this was published in 2007... 76 dislikes on TH-cam in 14 years is a Miracle! ❤️
What a beautiful music :)
Best scene ever
@49bobbyk Agree...this movie really introduced me to Mozart's music and made me fall in love with it
The fact of the matter is that, unfair to Saleiri or not, there was a rumor around the 1820s that he killed Mozart out of jealousy. In fact, Alexander Pushkin wrote a play in 1830 (!) about that subject matter. I don't know the quality of Pushkin's drama but surely it must have been the genesis for Peter Schaffer's version 150 years later. In any case I look at Salieri in the film as merely a character and not as a historical portrait -- we're meant to identify with his envy and even resent Mozart a little. :)
yeah i get misty eye'd every time. good to meet a fellow mozart lover!
This music gives me the chills, in a very good way
Love the comments ... it’s a film, loosely based around two people who did exist, but it is not and never tried to be an accurate historical presentation of these two men or their relationship. It’s a film!
Salieri is often depicted in this movie as creeping about like he was spying on mozarr all the time, in real life he had a wife and daughters, and kept himsrlf very busy throughout his life writing 40 operas amongst other compositios eg piano concerto's etc, i would just love to transport myself to those days and see how it really was! mind ypu living was very hard back then!
Often REvisiting the movie Amadeus, this spectcular description by Salieri, and this is the one that captures it from that scene so descriptively, its a shame it hasnt been remastered in hd or 4-8k
Bellissimo film
