The irony is that this movie actually helped rekindle interest in Salieri's work. There's even been a few annual Salieri music festivals as a result. Some of his music has even been featured in movies. Not so forgotten now, I'd say.

You are so right. I never even heard of Salieri until I saw this movie way back in 1984 and I'm glad I did. As an amatuer musician who's had experience with 4 instruments I'm glad. I did. I even have some of Salieri's recordings which i really enjoy.

I always get shivers when mozarts laugh plays in this scene. It validates Salieri's story... Wolfgangs music is immortal and got even more popular after his death while Salieri is left with a life with fellings of guilt and anguish while spending his last years in an asylum with his status diminished and his work forgotten. Mozart getting the last laugh is the perfect ending to this. If Mozart would have lived and Salieri would have helped him finish the requiem, then they may have become friends and Salieri could have redeemed himself, but even this was he denied. This movie is truly a masterpiece!

Neither of your points are accurate. The word "peace" is not the right word to describe salieri in his latest state. And the priest is horrified, not because he's having an "existential crisis" but because he realizes that he's dealing with a lost soul, who has become corrupted by anger, bitterness, venom, envy, etc. The priest just knows there is nothing he can do to save him at this point.

When I first saw this film (it was on TV) I missed the opening scenes and jumped in during the scene where Salieri first meets with the priest and asks him if he knows who Salieri is. After sitting through the entire thing, it was only during this scene that I actually found out that Salieri had been taken to an asylum. It put a really interesting twist on the ending for me which was actually completely unintended. The man who had been telling the moving story of Mozart's life turned out to be completely insane. I wish the film had actually been cut that way.

He looked absolutely wrung out from the unbelievable story he just heard. Most importantly, his expression tells us he believed every word and was moved by it. If he didn't convey that, it would have thrown the whole tale into doubt as the ravings of a mad man. One of my favorite movies of all time.

The fact people acussed him of being Mozart's murdered because they parroted those stupid rumours back then tormented and drove him to have depression episodes later on his life, which contributed to Salieri end up believing he did killed Mozart when he finally got dementia as geriatric. It is now known that most of these rumours were spread mostly by many members of the German school of music, since they had a deep resentment toward italian musicians in general, considering them having been always favored by the Austrian aristocracy over them and blaming them for all their difficulties.

The movie's theme is more than just show the life of Mozart, actually is centered on the thoughts and emotions of Salieri and about religion. Salieri in the film is showed as a musician who wanted to serve God with his talent, and after seeing Mozart acknowledge that he has not that talent he thought he had. So that is why at the end he sees himself and the people as mediocre, even the priest. The movie also talks about religion and God. Because in the eyes of Salieri, he wanted to do good, but God didn't let him do good, and also put somebody with talents who doesn't care about God.

Many great movies have not so great endings. Not this one! The ending scene of Amadeus is one of the greatest and most ironic conclusions of cinema history!

The film sets up one thing and then throws you for a loop. The first scene makes it sound like Salieri genuinely regrets what he did to Mozart and as the flashback happens, you wait for him to have his moment of realizing what a monster he’s become. But he never does. It turns out his “forgive me, Mozart” and suicide attempt was one last effort to get some kind of spotlight. He never feels sorry for anything he did. And it’s horrifying for the priest to realize just how insane this guy is.

If you pay attention you see that both men were were not without fault. Neither could find humbleness in themselves or could count their blessings. Salieri was a competant composer with a great job, salary, and home but saw himself as less than because he didnt have more talent. Mozart had the talent but couldnt submit to being under anyone elses authority. He was a perfectionist who felt all his music had to be spectacular and wouldnt take time for breathers and wouldnt take projects to provide for his family because he viewed them as beneath him.

I think this is one of the greatest films of all time and Murray Abraham's performance here is a miracle.

It would be interesting to know if the real, i.e. dead, Salieri would consider the renewed interest in his music to be worth the film’s aspersions on his character.

What an unfair movie ! Salieri's music is beautiful and far from being mediocre.

What Salieri says in the end doesn't necessarily represent the message of the movie itself.

I was left speechless like that priest when I first saw this movie.
