You killed Moe Zart

F. Murray Abraham is amazing in the movie. To whit: he won the Oscar for best actor. Tom Hulse, who played Mozart, was also nominated for the same award. So it was almost metaphorical... Salieri’s jealousy of Amadeus actually sort of won out though Hulse is extremely gracious about it and Murray and Tom it seems from extra features on our Amadeus dual DVD, got along, and still get along well.

🎼,on a historic note🎶, Beethoven felt that one of his teachers, Salieri, was OK, etc. 😎

What a great actor to be able to portray that with just a gesture

Don Giovanni: Now, You’re Mine!

I dont know, opera isn’t very popular today and Mozart would be a struggling artist once again. He’d probably be more successful writing Broadway musicals or cinematic motifs or most likely TikTok videos.

most musicians are not nearly as appreciated alive as they become after passing away, like the old adage 'you never miss something until it's gone.' Even Jimi Hendrix had a hard start in the USA & did not receive notoriety until moving to Europe

Mozart's pieces are truly immortal and used comercially, people know them not being aware that these are his works. Mozart's Requiem is one of the greatest pieces of music ever created. Opera is now rather niche and elite but his music is much more than this,

Don Giovanni: Enough!

@@bombonalvarez7718 There is nothing as dynamic or terrible as those flame-carrying dancers in that production.

I never understood what the weird bird is doing at the end. The weird bird and then the weird spider, never made sense to me. Maybe you can help me

@@omavioletta6645 It's a demon

@@Amethyst_Friend I find the cold, slow and darker figures way more terrifying than those torch-wielding mysterious men. They look like they truely are in eternal torment, eager to grab another soul to keep them company. Their slow movements better represent the stiffness of death, and serve the purpose of showing that they do not need to be quick, since they will eventually get him anyway. He cannot escape his fate. Just my thoughts on the topic.

Totally agree, Music. My only guess is Milos Forman (the movie’s director) used sound design (thin applause ) to show that the show was snubbed by emperor Joseph and the upper class and the theater was a snobby one, hence the general public didn’t get to see Giovanni in its original verrrrrrryyy short run. Therefore a very small audience. I go nuts seeing this scene too - it’s awesome -but the director I think was trying to show that this risky work that we all love was funded by royal benefactors back then and if they were on the outs at the end with the composer, then the show could get snubbed. IMHO.

@@sailormann1 YES

Maybe the audience was a bit disturbed, like Salieri lol. That’s dark even by todays standards.

When I watched this movie as a kid (when I wasn't interested in operas at all, I haven't seen any opera at this point) and I thought It was fantastic! Now I am an adult, regularly listenining to different pieces of classical music and I always get do excited when this scene comes up (in the opera itself and in Amadeus). It's one of my favourite arias- intense, atmospheric and just well...epic!

It is epic!

Indeed. Scared the sh*t out of me as a kid 😂

That’s the most American comment I have ever read. 😂

Now I know!

Well, that'd be nice.

Absolut

You’re welcome

Indeed.

You’re welcome

Right? I can’t find a recording of the whole opera that even compares to the perfection of this scene alone

IKR!? ❤❤❤❤❤❤

It does! Good analogy 👏

This is from the movie Amadeus.

Indeed.the stone statue would not be able to sing too many notes in quick succession.Mozart the genius kept it in mind and gave the Commendatore long held, slowly rising notes over a terrifying chromatically rising, pulsating orchestra.

My favorite part. Utterly thrilling.

It's sir John Tomlinson.

*apparition :)

@@toasterdrippings i don't know, i have watched the movie at least 40 times and i have always heard it as a "b" sound

@@Johnadams20760 I'm assuming it was apparition because 1) aborition isn't a word, and 2) apparition is a commonly used term for ghost or specter (which the commendatore is). But it also shows up in the script as "apparition" www.dailyscript.com/scripts/amadeus.html But either way :) It really is a wonderful movie isn't it? This iteration of Don Giovanni is better than any others I've seen in real life. I wish it was the full performance!

@@toasterdrippings i honestly think i spelled wrongly what I was trying to say. and not quite sure. like maybe abboration. and I think the word I am trying to think of means something along the lines of an anomoly that is ugly in nature and shouldn't be. the way i spelled it almost sounds like it sounds like salieri said to have an abortion lol. but appiration does make sense. based on the definition, given that don giovani is a ghost of a dead commander and all that. and salieri did describe this opera as mozart's father still posessiong his son from beyond the grave. so you are probably right.

THE STATUE Don Giovanni, you invited me to dinner and I have come! DON GIOVANNI I never would have believed it, but I will do what I can. Leporello, see to it that another dinner is served at once!

@@gergelybuday7433 thank you so much Gergely Buday! wow! those words , that is indeed quite chilling

@@Johnadams20760 You're welcome! Yes, it is quite haunting.

@@gergelybuday7433 yes. i mean i could tell already from the images, i figured he was probably decending into hell or something. or at least having the figure giving him massive nightmares at the very least. and that music. daaaam. i saw a couple people that do reaction videos who recently discovered some classical music, most have done lacrimosa and i think 1 or 2 other pieces. i keep telling them to watch this video if they want to hear some intense music. lol i hope they do the reactions for it.

For added context - the statue is the ghost of a man Don Giovanni murdered after raping his daughter.

Uh, Kurt Moll... :-

In the movie "Amadeus", that represents the ghost of Mozart's father returning from the grave to torment him.

@@masterblaster3914 that is pretty interesting I didnt know thanks

Hey lucky. Master blaster correctly says that in the framework of the movie Amadeus, the guy in the armor represents Mozart’s dead father Leopold. But in the opera Don Giovanni the armor guy (the Commandatore) is the ghost of a father who fought with Giovanni, to avenge his daughter, after Giovanni violated her. Giovanni murders the commandatore in this battle. Later giovanni and his servant leporelo mock the graveyard statue of the commandatore. A ghost voice of the commandatore foretells that Giovanni won’t live long. Giovanni dismisses this and flippantly tells leporelo to invite the statue to dinner. In a later scene there’s a pounding knock at Giovannis door and leporelo cries out in horror. The statue has come to Giovannis home for dinner. The statue admonishes Giovanni to repent his sins but Giovanni refuses. Giovanni is soon swarmed by hellish demons and is dragged down to hell. Abridged somewhat.

This is from the movie Amadeus and don Giovanni was an opera Mozart wrote after his dad died
