It was his dream to become his pupil and he succeeded for a short while. When he was 16, Beethoven became Mozart's student for 2 weeks in Vienna but had to go back to Bonn to tend to his dying mother.
What people sometimes miss is that Salieri's anger was NOT at Mozart. It was God who he was angry at. Salieri was jealous of Mozart, but his real issue was his belief that God had betrayed him. Is Salieri's eyes, God had "sent" Mozart to mock him.
One of the many things that makes the film great is that the central conflict doesn't have an antagonist in the conventional sense - Mozart doesn't even know Salieri hates him. Unless you count God as the antagonist.
But how can he, with only the best of what he has, when clearly he's ALWAYS going to be bested by someone better. As if Mozart rewriting Salieri's march of welcome(Which Salieri WORKED his ass off to write, in an earlier scene) RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE COURT ITSELF wasn't enough.

Which he does accept, by the end, as he realizes it was absurd all along to challenge God. Like in his conversation with the priest: "All men are created equal." "Are they?"
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.

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.

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.
That’s not choir music that’s music requiem probably better than anything in the last 160 years you don’t know what your talking about you mindless drone
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!
@@michyoung77 that's highly contested tbh and I'm 99% sure is false. historians are not even sure if they met outside of a single occasion and even that one meeting is debatable
I remember having to watch this in music class back in eighth grade. When the part where he farts came up, the whole class busted up laughing. The teacher actually had to stop the movie and let everyone stop laughing.
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".
@@zuckmarkerberg340 Eh,you'd be surprised! I find that a big problem is how sterile and rigid kids view of history is. Humanizing people from they bygone eras by showing that some things, like raunchy jokes truly always remain can go a long way in garnering interest.
@@hughmahn484 that's not what i meant. A child watches this scene, hears a fart and laughs. Nothing more. An adult after watching this scene can think of very different things, like the one you've just told. Less than a percent of all children will think about what you've just said after watching Amadeus. They'll think about nothing while watchin it. Whereas an adult can interprete this film in many various ways. And this is what Amadeus is intended for. That's why it's not for children, in my opinion
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 😂
The part where he spits the candle out is freaking brilliant. I often wonder whose idea it was to do that. Such a great touch and it just solidifies his intense anger.
@@savhoneybadger3177 Everyone has a childhood. But some aren't allowed to have a healthy normal one. The pressure of earning income like and adult but being heralded for being young and with no time to explore who you are
Also Salieri loved Mozart. Salieri wasn't just a talented composer. He was the Grumpy Dad Friend of all the younger composers and basically their version of a Union Rep that made sure they all got fair pay and decent working conditions. His main gripe with Mozart's was basically "please take better care of yourself you brilliant idiot disaster child."
Amadeus is one of those movies that never ever fails to make me laugh in certain scenes and cry in certain scene. But that scene makes me cry and laugh at the same time.😂😂😂😂
I can't blame Antonio Salieri when he said Laugh one day I will laugh at you before I leave this earth I will laugh at you. Never gotten that. Especially when people mocked and made fun of me. That's what I will say. The same thing that Antono Said. I will laugh at you.
"Before I leave this Earth I will laugh at you." This is being said by a true believer. By a man who states he believes in walls of fire that burn you forever. That is one powerful hate.
My mom was a piano teacher and, after listening to her students playing Rondo Alla Turka once too many, my brother exclaimed: “Mozart must have been the most annoying person at parties.”😂😂😂
Salieri was actually a very remarkable composer. He tutored Beethoven, among others, so... But it's the movie and as such, it rocks. So, no mediocrity at all. Mozart just happened to be a genius and that's why Salieri's music's been overshadowed.
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.
I love the little smirk on young Beethoven’s face. He and Mozart both had a much better understanding of what they played, and it’s clear he revered Amadeus on his work. So cool
On the one hand you absolutely love Mozart for his music & on the other hand you absolutely love Amadeus the movie…..so watching this is basically double pleasure for the viewer.
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.
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🤔🤔🤔
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.
You can imagine how magnificent was a genius, when he compose and played amazingly and even could imitate to others greats genius of the music. Great film. Greetings ^^.
This movie is terrific!! I spent the three hours at a subway restaurant, drinking my coffee and with my mobile watching it, for the first time. What a great movie!!!!
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
По сути, Форман, будучи близким русской культуре, экранизировал первый монолог Сальери из Маленьких трагедий" Пушкина - Все говорят- нет правды на земле, но правды нет и выше, это для меня также ясно, как простая гамма. Браво!
The real sad thing is I don't think Mozart was even being deliberately malicious, he was just having fun joking around & playing music. But Salieri took it so personally, which is understandable. When you work so hard to be great at something but ultimately your very best is barely equal to someone's worst when they are younger & haven't even put nowhere near the work you have, they're simply that much more naturally talented.
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.
God forgives.
Italians don't.

Neither do we

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
I remember we watched this movie in music class and I started bussing out laughing. Because I had finally realized who Family Guy was mocking.
Interesting movie
2:13 Okay, you can stop laughing now.
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.
This movie does an excellent job of conveying what all true artists are attempting to do:
Capture the hearts and minds of those who come after
You can imagine how magnificent was a genius, when he compose and played amazingly and even could imitate to others greats genius of the music. Great film.
Greetings ^^.
This movie is terrific!! I spent the three hours at a subway restaurant, drinking my coffee and with my mobile watching it, for the first time. What a great movie!!!!
Mozart’s laugh cures my depression
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?
Every time my teens laugh at me...”Go on, mock me, laugh!...Before I leave this earth, I will laugh at *you*”.
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
That priest looks like he's about to lose his sht when Saleiri says "That was God laughing at me through that obscene giggle."
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.
These young kids and their damn harpsichord music. Music just isn't what it used to be.
Such resentment towards his god... powerful scene...
"One day I will laugh at you... before I leave this earth, I will laugh at you."
he was like the 1st rock star live hard die young type
2:10 The cut-scene gets me everytime LMFAO
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
Yes! One of my favorite scenes too!
IT WAS GOD!
*DIIIIIEEES IRAE*

Awesome acting by Abraham
This movie is so EFFING good!
I want to hug Salieri when they are mocking him
Such an amazing film, such an amazing scene
По сути, Форман, будучи близким русской культуре, экранизировал первый монолог Сальери из Маленьких трагедий" Пушкина - Все говорят- нет правды на земле, но правды нет и выше, это для меня также ясно, как простая гамма. Браво!
God, the atmosphere is so magical
1:53 That is what I would do, if someone was behind me, and started laughing at me while I was playing the piano!!!! 😂
That was God...THAT WAS GOD LAUGHING AT ME! I tear up every time because you know the priest is even thinking he's right.
lol
If you don't want to be mocked, don't ASK to be mocked!
For me these scene si the best of thé film!!
I think the family guy version of this is awesome.
Such a great movie
Yes. This part reminds me so much...of people, like me. Glad to see, it happens.
The real sad thing is I don't think Mozart was even being deliberately malicious, he was just having fun joking around & playing music. But Salieri took it so personally, which is understandable. When you work so hard to be great at something but ultimately your very best is barely equal to someone's worst when they are younger & haven't even put nowhere near the work you have, they're simply that much more naturally talented.
Bear in mind that this scene is fictional.
looove his laugh! :D
Such a great movie!
That's true. GOD always laughs at our plans. I love the clips from this movie, BTW. :) thanks for posting.
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.
