Imagine artists having any sort of profound vision in 2023

@@Ben-hn4nw what?

You are very delusional my friend. If Mozart chose Figaro and did all he could with Ponte's help to mount it it is ONLY because the play was a massive success in Europe. Mozart was only looking for success, and the Emperor had to yield because Mozart and Da Ponte were aware of the popularity in Vienna of the play. Marie Antoinette did all she could to favour the play. You have a romantic stupid view of composition. And I say this because the Nozze is the best opera ever made.

It was impossible to block. Joseph II was perfectly aware of his inability to block it. The Shaffer scenario is ridiculous but necessary for non specialists.

It is not trivial at all considering the turmoil in Europe at the time.

He did not die poor. He and his wife had 6 children to raise.

No one else. Marriage of Figaro was composed in 1786.

The casting for this film is absolutely perfect! Every actor is just right.

Le Nozze ( the marriage)

It is the finale of the second act

Mozart, not Moxart. Marble, not marbel. Laughed, not laught. Sorry, but I had to do it.

The Marriage of Figaro. 👍❤️

He also spied on Simba who was skipping school 😂

Well, the play really was banned in Vienna. It was Da Ponte who argued to the emperor that the opera should be allowed. The movie is mostly fiction, but makes use of historical facts here and there. Mozart's love of fart-jokes is accurate for instance, though I greatly doubt he would have made vulgar comments to the emperor.

@@teresagardiner153 1) you are right but you forget that it was not Da Ponte's words that convinced the Emperor. It was the popularity of the play among his nobles. Da Ponte has never had an influence on the court of Vienna. 2) The fart and poop jokes were very common in Mozart's time. It has nothing to o with Mozart 's personnality. His wife and many nobles used them. 3) Shaffer's Amadeus is a theft. He used Mozart's fame to advance his proper fame by constantly lying about him, to please the audience. He could have used a fictional character and the movie would have been as good, but of course using Mozart was a far easiest road. Read about Mozart's real life and you will find that Shaeffer is a crook. NEARLY EVERYTHING in this good movie is fictional and has nothing to do with Mozart's life.

@@antoinemozart243 I know that bathroom humor was common at the time, but that doesn't mean it wasn't part of his personality. Everything you do is part of your personality. I'm not aware of Constanze indulging in fart-jokes. I wouldn't be surprised if she did, but her letters to Mozart haven't survived, and none of her surviving letters include vulgar humor, as far as I know. They could have made a movie about fictional characters, but then they'd have to compose the music themselves, and it probably wouldn't be as great as Mozart. Also, a famous name is better for marketing.

@@teresagardiner153 No, it wasn't part of his personnality. Like food, religion, composition styles, language's habits are not part of our personnality. We integrate them. Mozart was initiated as a free mason. It was not part of his "personnality". It was just necessary for his career as nearly all of his influential friends were initiated, like Haydn. Dirty jokes were common if you read letters , not only of the Mozart's but from the people who had the same status. It has NOTHING to do with his "personality". Sorry. And if you consider marketing by stealing the name and fame of an historic person as a badge of authenticity, I absolutely don't agree. Because, for commercial purposes, it abuses people .

@@antoinemozart243 I'm not sure why you think that learned behavior shouldn't count as part of someone's personality. Most of our behavior is probably learned, on some level. Crude humor is pretty common in our culture nowadays as well, but not everyone likes it. Most people do some things that are common but don't do other common things. Why? Personality. Not everyone in the 18th century liked dirty humor, because not everyone had the same personality. It's also worth pointing out that fart-jokes are *especially* common in Mozart's letters. His sister Nannerl used vulgar humor in only one of her letters, and not at all in her extensive diaries. Their parents used it more frequently than Nannerl, but still not as frequently as Mozart. That's because it was simply a more prevalent part of Mozart's personality.

Well, we know for sure that Mozart was, in fact, quite vulgar.

The man made a piece titled "Lick my ass".

He was a very strange man from what there is about him.

Well, the testimony that he was vulgar and playful are his most difficult canons, there are some of them that are very, very nasty indeed.
