- Amadeus is a 1984 American period drama film directed by Miloš Forman and adapted by Peter Shaffer from his stage play Amadeus. The story is set in Vienna, Austria during the latter half of the 18th century, and is a fictionalized biography of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The film follows a fictional rivalry between Mozart and Italian composer Antonio Salieri at the court of Emperor Joseph II (Wikipedia)
Die Entführung aus dem Serail (K. 384; The abduction from the Seraglio; also known as Il Seraglio) is an opera Singspiel in three acts by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The German libretto is by Gottlieb Stephanie, based on Christoph Friedrich Bretzner's Belmont und Constanze, oder Die Entführung aus dem Serail. The plot concerns the attempt of the hero Belmonte, assisted by his servant Pedrillo, to rescue his beloved Konstanze from the seraglio of Pasha Selim. The work premiered on 16 July 1782 at the Vienna Burgtheater, with the composer conducting.
The complexity of Mozart's work noted by Goethe also plays a role in a well-known tale about the opera which appeared in the early (1798) biography of Mozart by Franz Xaver Niemetschek. In the version of the anecdote printed in Bartlett's Book of Anecdotes, a reference work, the story is told like this:
The Emperor Joseph II commissioned the creation of The Abduction from the Seraglio, but when he heard it, he complained to Mozart, "That is too fine for my ears - there are too many notes." Mozart replied, "There are just as many notes as there should be" (Wikipedia) - บันเทิง

THATS what it reminded me off. no wonder salieri nose is huge
This comment is bold and brash
@@levithorstone2876 more like belongs in the trash! 😂
I agree too!
The true new testament
I don’t understand how the aging makeup on F. Murray Abraham was so seamless and believable in 1984 but nobody has been able to replicate it since then, not even with CGI being available. Incredible talent.
I marvel at the old age makeup on F. Murray Abraham. It looks realistic. Often old age makeup looks ghastly, like Al Pacino in Godfather 3. Fortunately Amadeus won the Oscar for makeup.
The film won 8 Oscars, one of which was, not surprisingly, for makeup. I watched a doc about the film and they went to great lengths to get the ageing makeup right (and it took hours and hours to apply every day).

0:14 that shift from lesson to opera is totally magnificent, along with the 8 second long high note of the soprano while the orchestra does its stuff... Genius Schaefer, Forman and Mozart, and the soprano.
Name of the opera?
@HQ correct. The aria is called Martern aller arten, which essentially means “tortures of all kinds.” It’s from Act II of Abduction. It is sung by the main soprano in the singspiel Konstanza, who is the one the piece is about. She’s the one they go to the Seraglio to abduct.
Totally agree. I'm serious: that has to be one of the most beautiful scene transitions in the History of cinema. Absolutely mesmerizing. Chills all over every time I hear it.
It would've been even better if they cut from his reaction straight to the performance, as if his admiration was seeing the performance and not the practice.

I love mozart's smiles as he directs the orchestra. he makes it seem as if genius is simply the pure joy of doing what you love. obviously, salieri loved music as well, but in his confession to the priest I feel that he ultimately loved the respect and potential legacy that music gave him more. to me, that was the dividing cut between the two masters.
That's very well put. If I'm not mistaken, Mozart himself said that love, doing music with love, is what makes a great musician.
Yes, exactly - note that in Salieri's boyhood prayer, he asks god to make him not just "a composer," but "a GREAT composer."
When you are excellent you think of respect and legacy… when you are a musical genius you create create and create and become lost in the process.
"Vanity and happiness are incompatible." -Glenn Close in Dangerous Liaisons
Im never going to get over the incredible makeup on Salieri. When I was a kid I thought it was two separate actors, it took me way too long to figure out it was the same person. Absolutely beautiful makeup. This movie deserves so much more love but no one wants to watch a 3 hour biopic about a classical composer anymore.
This movie needs to be re-released to theaters to be enjoyed all over again. I love this movie so much.
No way. I’ve seen this movie like over 10 times and u just made me realize it’s the same actor
Once you start watching you’re hooked. It’s like the Godfather - can’t stop watching.
I'd say the only thing that can match is seeing the theatrical production, where the same actor has to both quickly transition between old and young Salieri in the same scene, and sell the transition without the aid of extensive makeup. I saw such an example in 2012 and it really is astounding how Salieri really seemed like two different people with nothing more than the act of putting on/taking off a robe and a wig.
The actress doing the opera singer was amazing, you can see she loves the sound of her voice by just her expressions, without a line of dialogue you can see how big her vanity is and by the way she looks at mozart while she sings you can tell they have been intimate. Beautiful
That's Christine Ebersole
@@patricklaffin2172 And the singing is done by Suzanne Murphy
BTW, in real life, the "wife" and "mistress" characters in this movie were the same woman--Constanza Weber Mozart was a pretty big star in her own right. Yes, her mother owned the apartment building where they lived. She was also the one who convinced Mozart to study Back and include things like double fugues in his own music. Also, she was as ugly as a shovel.
Thank you for this informative & surprising comment. I'm just a little confused: do you mean to say that Constanza wasn't pretty or her mother? Also, what do you mean by saying the mother convinced Mozart "to study Back"? Thank you.

"Hurt me! Break me! Kill me!"
Mozart: 😄
Love it, Icelandic commenter of ESC videos ;)
It’s such a good part
are you descendant of Antonio Salieri
Let's see....Mozart wears an outlandish wig, outlandish clothing, sticks it to the authority, lives in an apartment where the rent is sky-high, drinks too much, parties non-stop, spends his money as fast as he makes it, women fawn over him, he sticks it to the authority some more. Mozart was the first ROCK STAR!!!!!!
There really is no evidence to suggest that Mozart was ever an alcoholic in real life, though there is evidence that he squandered cash.
I believe that someone put obstacles to Mozart' s career. He was only once paid for the " abduction from the seraglio", allthough there were repetetions. It is very strange that he was peniless with so mny operas and works.
@@goumasnick5020 Sounds like he got cheated by his manager and cheated out of his royalties. Definitely a rock star.
Great Mozart and fucking Rock'n Roll have nothing in common.
😎👍
Great physical acting by Tom Hulce throughout the entire film. I bet fans of this film like me have tried to mimick him when he's conducting the operas and symphonies (in private of course 😳) and know how difficult it is.
in private, of course
This just blew my mind when I was a kid. Its still in me.
Me to it gives me fucking chills always
Mee too. I discover I like opera from this movie.
Same! You also really have to listen to Edda Moser singing this it's called 'martern aller arten' btw :)
Same here! Saw it in the theatre with my mom and loved classical music ever since!
The creature blew your mind.
I wish they would re-release it for a limited time in the theaters so you can get the full effect of the concerts. This was such a great movie. Didn't it win Best Picture of 1984?
Maybe they will do it on the 40th anniversary. I am hoping so.
Yes it won 8 oscars
No es necesario con un buen equipo de sonido lo puedes obtener.
GENIUS!!!!

Mozart: 😀😀😀😀🙌🙌🙌🙌👊✊👊✊
Salieri: 😐
1. The movie really does make it seem like he was one of the very first rock stars
2. Iunno why, but I'm imagining Biden as Mozart and Trump as Salieri in this scene, just after Trump has finally come to terms with the fact that he lost. In the background, we can see Melania happily saying goodbye to the world of politics. Hilarious shit.
@@cquiroz7874, bruh. 🙄
@@cquiroz7874, still think it's hilarious? I'm sincerely and genuinely curious about how you feel about the current administration now?
the irony in this movie is so fitting, I couldn't even tell which are the events that are real and which are made up. love this movie.
I love the moment 3:32 when everyone is waiting for the emperor's reaction, and as soon as he rises, people staring cheering wild.
I love how there is an inverse relationship between his most famous operas and the reception of high Austrian society as the movie progresses. It goes from The Abduction from Seraglio ( one of his least famous) - for which he gets the emperor's approval - to The Magic Flute ( arguably the most performed Mozart opera) where there is no aristocrat in sight, nothing but commoners.
There’s the Queen of the Night...and Sarastro the High Priest.
Well actually the abduction from the seraglio is one of his most known operas
@@twood1uis I think he meant in the audience, not in the story.
@@gabriellopezperez7363 I know of the Abduction from the Seraglio. I even got to see it at the Vienna Volksoper back in 2012.

How joyful and lively Mozart's music is!! It seems that he was happy when he wrote this exciting opera!!.. If he wasn't, where did he draw such energy? I hope he was happy! What happiness this film this composer this music!! Thank you for the music Maestro !!..
One detail it took me years to notice: All performances of Mozart's Italian operas are in Italian, but all the German operas are in English. This stays consistent with the English-speaking cast talking about German as "our own language, plan German for plain people."
It's a brilliant film full of such attention to detail.
There is so much going on in this amazing scene between joy and envy.
"LEAST of all... the creature!"
*quick* *cuts* *to* *Mozart*
love that bit
Salieri was savage AF but that’s why we love him
I have felt for years that this should be Mozart's nick-name.
THE CREATURE!
I love that part, it cracks me up 😄
Gut-twistingly masterful cinematography, this film never ceases to knocks my socks off.
One of the best scenes in the history of the cinema
In real life Sallieri had an affair with the soprano and Mozart did not.
I mean no one knows what happened behind closed doors
The Soprano has an affair behind close door with Mozart !
@@canman5060 Or so Saleri suspects from their exchange he catches between them after the curtain goes closes for Die Entfürung Aus Dem Serail (The Abduction From The Seraglio), but we have to remember that he’s an unreliable narrator. I’ll admit that it’s a bit more implicit that SOMETHING probably happened between them in the Director’s cut because Caterina makes that bitter comment of how Constanze “must be dazzling in bed,” but, even then, it’s pretty uncertain because Constanze never confronts Wolfgang about it. In spite of being an alcoholic, a spendthrift, a manchild, and a workaholic, Wolfgang seems pretty devoted to Constanze throughout the film otherwise. It’s just this one little scene where Saleri ASSUMES that Mozart had an affair with Caterina Caveleri.
A remarkable performance by Murray F. Abraham.
Musical virtuosity that goes on and on, to the point of grandiosity, leaving people either overwhelmed in a sort of divine ecstasy, or tired out from “too many notes.”
Wow, Mozart invented prog-rock.
Meanwhile, Salieri was literally acting like Monty Python: “GET ON WITH IT!”
Legend has it Mozart ghost wrote Close to the Edge, the greatest of all his masterpieces.
@@nectarinedreams7208 You misspelled “Selling England by the Pound.”
@@PapaLobo94 I loved that bit, as much as Salieri recognized Mozart's music as divine, he was still critiquing it.
@@erickleefeld4883if we're talking about "too many notes", then it has to be a Yes album
The best transition that I saw in my entire life in a movie theater. 0:16
My right ear enjoyed this.
Omg roght
I love how it cuts directly from her practicing scales to performing in the opera. As if to say of course she's going to star in that opera, and of course Mozart's going to have his way with her...yeah, because of course.
Course he was the best. He could have most young Women who would allow themselves to sleep with him. It’s always been that way if you are great. Let’s not kid ourselves here. That’s human nature.
Masterpiece for eternity ♥️gives me chills each time . My favorite movie ever
0:57 her eyes though when she said "hurt me, break me"
And his lol
My favourite part of the movie! Anyone who sings classical music will appreciate this. 🌹
Heard this movie inspired “Rock Me, Amadeus” by Falco
Queen on Night is also an amazing piece in the movie!
Absolutely not. The movie and the script is Anglo-American manufactured view of the continental European culture and music.
Makes up the protagonist, and creates against him an artificial antagonist, to fit the Western dumb worldview of the distortion of reality.
Utter preposterous fiction, in violation of classical music and all known historic facts.
@@zvonimirtosic6171 The movie itself has nothing to do with the music being genuine. Naturally, the actress representing the singer and the actual vocalist are two different people. The music is still very beautiful on its own merits and used in context at least, so not entirely a "violation", despite any manufacturing of perception that may be going on.
As far as doing a disservice to music is concerned, where some of the worst "violation" scenarios in American sensationalist movie, film and television procuctions exist, is linking classical music to bizarre associations. For example, the American silent film era is guilty of associating the organ works of JS Bach to that of "Dracula" music. Johann Sebastien Bach did not have Count Dracula, the headless horeseman n'or sininster goth in mind when he composed Tocatta & Fugue in D minor, yet this is the nonsensical association when modern pop & country music buffs hear this particular composition. Furthermore, the old TV cartoon Bugs Bunny is notorious for using classical music in the background. Frustrating trying to explain to a non-classical, country/bluegrass music buff who grew up watching Bugs Bunny on television that classical music is more than just Bugs Bunny, lol. There is also theatrical opera associated with Mafia hits in American gangster films. That, IMO, is the true and tragic disservice to classical music. Such tragic associations are firmly etched in the minds of those who haven't a clue about classical music and worst of all, are incapable of connecting to it in any way shape or form.
@@mickey5779 The film is American piece of trash, an Anglo-American view on things they never had, but they want to spit on it with "their twist". End of discussion.
The idea that opera singers could sustain the musicality necessary for a full opera chorus piece like this, while doing Twyla Tharp choreography, has always been hilarious to me 🤣
3:07 genius and love of music reunited 😍
Yeah somebody please help, I can't stop watching this video.
Tom should have gotten the Oscar for this. He made the movie.
Murray said the only way he'd have been happier is if he and Tom could have tied and each received one.
@@maestroclassico5801
Really, how gracious.
They should’ve campaigned for Tom to be supporting actor and then both of them would’ve gotten it and the world would be a better place
@@scordero12
Yes that would have won it for both of them
@@scordero12 I agree. Best Supporting in 1984 went to A non actor----a real life Doctor for his role in THE KILLING FIELDS. I still 37 years later have yet to see it.
Cool editing, at 1:29 old Salieri's hand gesture cuts to him completing the same hand gesture in the past!
Love the choreography, it fits perfectly with the beautiful music.
"Least of all... the Creature." *cue music*
I love it 😂
"showing off like the greedy songbird she was".... This is the best scene in the movie.
For those of you who are wondering, the first aria is called “Martern aller Arten". In this, the soprano (Konstanze) is rejecting the Pasha’s demands to love him despite his threats of violence.
3:11 this scene alone is *enough* to let him win the award
Squidward
😅😅 the look
Absolutely amazing. Wish I could go there.
Salieri's look of envy is priceless
This movie is simply a perfection.
Love this piece.
I wonder sometimes what he would do in today’s time. The wonders are endless. Rock opera at its finest
The orchestra in this scene is anachronistic. In the wide shots you can see the cello section on the right side, where it is commonly placed in a modern-day orchestra. But that layout was first introduced in the 1890s and was not widely used until the 1920s in the United States and the 1940s in Europe.
In Mozart's time, a typical orchestra would place the second violins on the right side opposite the first violins, the violas would have been in the middle, and the celli would have been arranged behind the upper strings much as the basses are in modern orchestras.
It ruins the film for me personally
Well, learn something new everyday. Didn't know there was a history about orchestral arrangement
The 1st and only "rock star."
what about liszt
In all seriousness Vivaldi was the first true rockstar. I think Mozart the second forsure.
He’s a rockstar but Vivaldi was metal
Prodigy, Virtuoso, Genius - MOZART
One of the most famous examples of Turkish influence on Western classical music is Mozart's opera "The Abduction from the Seraglio," which features a Turkish march and other elements of Turkish music. This opera was one of the first works to incorporate Turkish elements into Western classical music and inspired other composers to do the same.
Can you please specify those elements ? I came here because the book of Carl Nef "history of music" says exactly what you say and i was curious. Please give me some examples!
Master piece!!!
The name of the Divina Opera Singer is "Suzanne Murphy"
3:12 should be a meme
Yeah, with Antonio Salieri looking annoyed and bored
So beautiful
Laughing at Saleri’s snarky eyeroll at the long segments of coloratura in Martern Aller Arten and his description of it being “10 minutes of ghastly scales, WHIZZING up and down up pitch like fireworks at a fairground.”
As someone who’s been professionally trained as a soprano in classical/musical theater singing for a little over a decade, and sung a fair amount of pieces with extensive coloratura in them, that entire description of “10 minutes of ghastly scales whizzing up and down up pitch like fireworks at a fairground” makes me laugh! It really is true that coloratura sopranos are meant to be the vocal show-offs in opera, operetta, and musical theater with singing long melismas, scales, and high notes that usually go above C6. I think it’s pretty cool, and I love this aria. However, I can see why it would get annoying going on for ten minutes, and I can understand why some notes were asked to be cut.
It’s actually about nine minutes, not ten. I know because I’ve listened to it many times lol.
@@matthewcastleton2263 gotta round it up to drive home the truth
I love that bit, because as much as Salieri recognizes Mozart's music as divine, he's still critiquing it.
You know this movie got me to compare the music of Salieri and Mozart, and the point of the movie does stick. Salieri's music is very direct and doesn't wander too much. While good, it could use a little more pizzazz. At the same time, while musicians like Mozart and Beethoven undoubtedly made songs that far outshined Salieri, I really do think there are "too many notes" in certain works.
Maybe I'm just too much of a rube, but I do find myself wondering why we have to keep going up and down scales over and over for long stretches, and what the listener is supposed to get from these exercises aside from the fact that these musicians can really play their instruments. Just give me a nice melody line, please! It mirrors the literature of the time - yes, there are many timeless stories from the 18th and 19th centuries, but do we truly view the laborious vocabulary employed in so many books in that period as the true height of language? Or perhaps was it an affectation that comes across as a tad silly and indulgent in retrospect? Not that we've mastered language or music today, either.
It's overkill. It's like a4-minute song and the last minute of pompous ending.
Simply the best.
_"That's not love. That's, that's that's that's, er, rubbish!"_ -Mozart.
Nevermind all the social or political innuendos, the music is simply beautiful!
This man was music manifested to human form
It is interesting how he criticizes hearing her sing 'ghastly scales' when Mozart is conducting, but is infatuated listening to her sing scales when he plays them for her.
love the transition of salieri's hands when he talks of the ghastly scales
good catch, it's so well done that you hardly even notice. If there was an oscar for best transitions, Amadeous would have won that too!
@@AlexAlcyone so true, i love the transitions of this movie
My favorite movie of all time
Are you sure?
Mine too
Oh, come on! Shut up Salieri we want to enjoy the music. Suzanne Murphy has amazing voice. One of the best what I've ever heard.
My left ear enjoyed the beginning and narration
The ultimate TH-cam reaction video would be Mozart himself reacting to the film Amadeus. Can anyone arrange this?
Well...i can try 😅
when I saw this scene as a child I was overwhelmed
I love this scene for the great performance.
I love how he says "the creature" 😂 He admires him A lot yet he is shocked by the real him 😂
Too many notes
Gorgeous
God Damn THE MUSIC, the MUSIC!
loooooove this move and scene
I think Tom Hulce's acting, is better than alll the conductors🤣
Sublime, happy and fun. see the ending of Idomeneo Salzburg production.
He was just 36 yo when he died.
I just can't imagine all Operas and music he could have composed had he lived longer.
Mozart era un genio e vedere la gente quasi annoiata mi fa capire che essere potenti non vuol dire essere intellingenti . Che corte inutile per un genio unico come mozart. Bravissimi Fred e tom

Shit I’d sing like that too if Mozart was hyping me up like that

The first time I saw this with my dad we expected the opera to be sung in german and we were a bit confused when it's apparently sung in English... :o
Yeah, but the good news is there are only about five or six words to this song (in English or German) . . . Pasha Selim, long may he live!

She has nothing on Dolly Parton's Wigs!!! I went to see a movie in the 1980's but they showed this instead, sooooo glad they did! One of my favorites.
The greatest biopic ever
Salieri is Mozart Italian Opera consultant in reality.
In the end of the movie, Salieri sees himself as the Patron of Mediocrity, having never in life, been able to outshine Mozart’s genius…which he envied and admired at the time…but this movie, at last, is about HIM, Salieri. It’s he who takes the center stage to tell Mozart’s final story, as an act of kindness or irony, from the director and…God.
I started remembering what they did to me in Englewood. As my old account stated what I could remember while it was happening.
Love Mozart from TÜRKİYE !!
