I’m with you there lol 😂

hahaHAHAHAhhheeehehehe

I bet you wish you had three heads ahahaha

totally...well no ...not even that ...im pretty responsible i just want likes.

Unfortunately, all I have is the fame part.

was that Constance or the maid

@@raisinbran3736 Constance. the maid was Cynthia Nixon.

so so pretty !

Tom Hulce was nominated that year too (for Mozart) but didn't get it.

have you umm.... seen that scene...

for a genius like Mozart...I think that, to write such a magisterial piece...it also meant to get deeply into that atmosphere and mood...you know what I mean...

@@antonkomel8949 Youre mostly right, Mozart needed her but in terms of finance yes she needed him but back in those days the job opportunities given to women were absolutely horrible...

It looks pathetic.

One of the many obstacles if a genius. Though she is mundane in his level she has common sense and loves him.

@@jazzstarish4186 Loves him? HAH!!

😮

Mark Hamill deserved that role

Makes me bust a guy every time. Ty Mozart

@@Maisonier No. Tom Hulce was rightly nominated for an oscar. He was brilliant. Hamill is Luke Skywalker. They were correctly cast.

@@sandy2au918 i think it was a joke based on the fact that hamill plays The Joker in Batman cartoons.

I saw an interview with Tom Hulce ages ago where he was asked about the laugh and it said it just came out of him and after the filming was finished he couldn't recreate it. Amazing.

Yes, though her father-in-law thinks she's a lazy, low-class bitch that his goofball son had "picked up" somewhere, if you get what I mean. (*eyebrow raise*) And I didn't think "The Magic Flute" was ridiculous; it was my favorite.

@@JA268 I don't think the Magic Flute is ridiculous either, I was just glad a wife had agency and opinions of their own 💅. And yes, I did get what you mean, it's not that subtle lol.

I think you're speaking about Don Giovanni here ! Legend says that Mozart wrote the overture during the night before the dress rehearsal.

@@pierrelandy9755 The godemperor of procrastinating

So Mozart hated The Magic Flute?

the rest is just scribbling bibbling bibbling and scribbling

@@vanguard4065 💯

It's a good movie, with excellent acting. BUT... it's a movie, based on a play, both fictionalized. It has some historical truth, but must not be taken as a truthful story, as The Pianist is. The only true part is the radiant music.

It's a very good movie. Well made. Well written. Well acted. It does play fast and loose with the history and exaggerates the characters for comedic and dramatic effect. For the most part though I forgive it it's transgressions, because it doesn't pretend to be the true and definitive story and it doesn't pretend to be commenting on some important modern event.

@@celebrim1 Problem is that people have taken movies to be historical and accurate. Which isn't the movies fault. But the generality of people when it comes to movies. It's sad that what many know about history or any subject comes from movies... just think of all the times you have heard or even maybe you gave an example of something based from a movie. Seriously, some people I know thought Middle Earth was some region in Europe in the Middle Ages.... obviously with fictional elves and hobbits, but a real place. Those who liked LOR movies looked shattered when you explain to them Middle Earth is a complete fictionalized world like Dune or Harry Potter's magical world or Narnia etc. But they give tours, they cry. That's a movie set in New Zealand.

This is the same Siskel that thinks Saturday Night Fever was the greatest thing since sliced bread. He watched it 24 times

@@jmitterii2 i've had stand-up arguments with americans about this. it defies belief. the last i had stemmed from me suggesting that it was unethical (in respect of the british soldiers who fought & died on the campaign) for U-571 to present that the US forces captured the enigma machine... with which i was met with a torrent of abuse that started with "but the americans DID capture it, hence the film" and concluded in "you're just bitter because we whooped your ass in wwii" at which point i walked away. i'm all for artistic licence, not least given i'm a filmmaker myself, but when you start dismissing the sacrifices made by people still in living memory for the sake of globalised face-saving and flag-waving then it becomes a different matter altogether. what's all the more shocking is the amount of US citizens prepared to believe that, in full about-face terms, apparently all that's depicted in 'braveheart' is gospel truth - how could it not be, given how evil all other empires are compared with the USA?

Yeah except you aren't gifted or a genius and the only thing you were working on was some shit assignment for highschool, none of which matters at this point

@@masterofpain120 who hurt you

@@masterofpain120 He could totally be gifted or a genius.. just doing lame homework

In high school?

@@musicalmelodies3595 Yeah, I was highly motivated back then.

they say the same about me

I hate you

Genius is creating stuff ahead of its time, stuff which doesn’t sit well with the social norms of what is, or what is not, artistic; stuff which has more soul than what is currently acceptable or recognised.

@Luke Lucas at least im hated

@Luke Lucas Your spelling is neither.

Only 10 or 12 for me. My favorite movie. No doubt.

Hulce is underrated XD

He was pretty good, but the annoying, jarring giggle breaks the illusion for me

"Libretto" Basically the script for the opera

Very few composers wrote the "stories" for operas, although some altered them (figaro, for example). The "libretto" as pretzels713 said, is basically just the script. The story. A writer or poet would write the libretto, and the composer composed the opera for it.

a great civil burn, lol

@@pretzels713 Mozart wrote Librettos, i didnt knew that. I thought he took the Librettos and made the according music.

@@kevinhobbs6064 yes. The time before movies and motion picture scores.

Ikr

I love her

@@thesilvershining yeah, she is beautiful

@@abubakrshoaliev2775 Are you talking about the actress? Berridge isn't Mozart's wife lmao. She is only pretending to be her and she isn't anything like her at all.

@@cathy.905 Why?

She said "Wolfy" which is even cuter 😭

He did NOT!

He also played the bad guy in Ace Ventura 2

He also played the original bad guy on American idol lol

He was also the original Mozart in the play *Amadeus* in London.

@@misterparadise9542 Omg that's awesome!

The funny thing is that The Magic Flute is now one of the world's most popular and enduring operas. And Constance dismisses it as a silly story.

One of the greatest movies. There’s so many great movies.

Not COMPLETELY fictional, but a lot of artistic license, for sure.

But did they show a big screen saying - it's historically accurate? No

Mozart definitely put tins of things off to the last minute, he wrote one of his sonatas the morning he was to perform. I do agree that with a full orchestra it would be prepared earlier, but Mozart was def a last minute worker

nerd

I concur. Too much BRAIN Brian.

Swim agrees.

Same

The story is brilliant but historically inaccurate. It is loaded with many half truths. The biggest misconception is Salieri’s pathological hatred for Mozart which, of course, is what drives the entire storyline. There is no evidence at all that Salieri poisoned Mozart. They were contemporaries but they were not bitter rivals. The most outlandish liberty that Peter Shafter (the playwright who wrote Amadeus) took was to portray Mozart as a vulgar man child with a hysterical laugh. The real Mozart was a little rough around the edges but not anything like the self absorbed character depicted in the play and, particularly, in the movie. That being said, it was a brilliantly crafted production and the music, of course, was amazing, simply because it was Mozart.

Although Oldman was excellent, immortal Beloved is horribly depressing. Only 1 watching was sufficient.

What hell are talking about

So true,just artists can get this.

L

No such thing as "too many" with this movie!!

Actually, it's been a couple of years for me. I'm due.

He did tho. Never once did I call anyone a c*nt. I have called people other things but not that one oh lord 🤦🏼

Wtf

riiiiighhht!???

lol gay

That is a lie he never had syphilis!! 😠

Mozart wasn't "too naive to think of anything at all except writing music and having fun". Read his letters; he thought about all sorts of things.

@@sophiadao7325 Thank you Sophia. I am guessing you mean the letters he wrote to his father? And I stand corrected for any misinformation I unintentionally passed on.

Oh, indeed. Mozart had a very naive human nature and used to think about all sorts of things at the same time. Both things are not separated. Certainly, he was very afraid of the world, which gave him a thoughtful nature. But he loved life, that's all. Had he had the opportunity to choose, he'd have chosen to live on instead of dying.

@@sophiadao7325 I've found his letters to be some of the most enjoyable reading I've come across in the German language - very smart, playful and free compared to what the language became a little later - presumably under the influence of Goethe. Any notion that Mozart was 'naïve' or somehow limited by his enormous specialised talent is dispelled immediately in his writing.

@@mossfitz I agree I love reading his letters! He once had to write a letter to someone at the spa in Baden where Constanze was staying, listing rather private stuff you know (she was there often as she was exhausted due to giving birth constantly), however, he thought it was not proper to just tell this to a random stranger. "This is the dumbest letter that I've ever written" Mozart concluded lol.

She's do it to help her husband, she didn't love him. If you consider how desperate they were and how much she tried to help him that makes sense.

@@alcoholikosnuths7542 she didn't love her husband if she would sleep with another man behind his back for money

@@customsongmaker well the money was for him. Anyways

@@alcoholikosnuths7542 for herself

A bit of movie trivia. Who is the actress who plays the dim witted maid seen briefly in this clip? Answer: Cynthia Nixon who later gained fame as one of the lead actors in “Sex and the City.”

Lol dead wrong
