The combo makes it overwhelming.

Both

Greatness and love of greatness both inspire such exaltation and affirmation of life.

Mozart

Without the music, there is no critique.

and the tragedy lies in his envy, which is a real madness: talent is so rare that when it is... it should only be admired

kmale76 no, he realized PRECISELY that, and it made him resent God. He asked to be able to be God’s instrument, and instead he was given only the ability to recognize that God chose a vulgar brat as his instrument, not him.

Did you watched the fucking movie you pretentious fuckwit? Salieri clearly wanted to be one to be able to produce the kind of music mozart has composed. Aesop fables wannabe spinning everything around to turn it into some kind of moral.

He did realize it, but he resented it. _From now on, we are enemies. You and I. Because you choose for your instrument a boastful, lustful, smutty, infantile boy and give me for reward only the ability to recognize the incarnation._ _Because you are unjust... unfair... unkind... I will block you. I swear it. I will hinder and harm your creature on earth as far as I am able._

The real irony is that Salieri and Mozart have been good friends in real live.

My favorite line was when Constanza had brought music for Salieri to look at "Replace one note and there would be diminishment...replace one phrase and the structure would fall".

@@richardmendoza1692 and remember what Jesus said? Matter 5.18: For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not one Jot nor one tittle shall pass from the law till all is fulfilled. A jot is the smallest letter in the Hebrew alphabet, and tiddle is a small detail-often a dot-that is added on a Hebrew letter to change the meaning of the word with a small detail.

Santiago trying not to cry

Its mostly fiction

@@kylew.4896 i agree. but it's still quite a good film.

@@kylew.4896 The battle between mediocrity and greatness is hardly fiction.

+Wolf6119 They (royalty at that time) had people around them watching and emulating what they did every minute of the day - they did not sleep, dress or do almost anything without an audience.

+Wolf6119 "Too many notes."

I'm with you on this one. For one reason. He saw it at the rehearsal and greenlit it. So he can't find it that bad.

@clown town I think he was just like "Did that seem rude? You saw that?".

@clown town Like I answered to Wolf6119: Then he should've never green lit it. Right at the rehearsal he visited: "Nope!". And since Salierei manipulates Mozart, who knows if he was telling the truth?

Envy is a detestable thing. You're able to recognize the genius of your piers and that the fact that you compare yourself to them and sell yourself short or long using them as your measure is your down fall.

Also keep in mind this rivalry was not historically accurate they had competition but never hated each other.

"Something I love about this movie's rendition of Saliari is" exactly the entire plot of this movie!

I hate you because I ain't you😂

It is a form of poetic glorification. The person appears to be criticizing but it actually glorifying. The entire movie is a play on this classical genre.

Lol what the heck

LMFAO

Don't quite follow the logic, but LMFAO🤣😂

Found this comment ridiculously funny *laughs in Mozart* JAJAJAJAJA

Wtf did I just read. 🤣

It's simply perfection.

Director/Editors**

That’s the point

Give him a break, he’s just tired

Just because you're born Emperor doesn't make you an expert musician 🤷‍♀️

@ Ben: Between you and me, no one can harm the musical knowledge of the Emperor!!

I just saw this opera and while I loved every bit of it, it will give you fanny fatigue.

RageJoona i didnt know the insane part was true, thats a fantastic take on the story. Especially for the people who have problems with the historical inaccuracy

Now it explains everything!!

probably used mozarts name to get some "fame".

@@quezcatolthey had pretty much zero connection and was extremely famous in his own right. There were rumours they hated each other but no evidence at all

@@JackSurvana I was refering to the movie. why would he scream he killed mozart when nobody barely knows him anymore, because he just wanted some of the fame back- and had to use his arch nemesis.

Yep

Actually he was, and he even was more popular than mozart. And in Real Life they were friends but still had a rivalary

+Iray Mc Saleri was such good friends with Mozart that Salieri even tought his son.

Because this film wasn't meant to be a biography. It loosely uses these characters to make a point.

MoonJung82 yeah ... Have to wonder whether -- because Mozart wrote this during the beginning of the maid's employment (the maid sent by Salieri) -- it was a fantasy or maybe even supposedly real situation in his life? And the "forgiveness" part was his mind imagining Stanzi forgiving HIM (for fooling around with the maid, whether real or fantasized) ?

You got it...

@@irisblossom4229 Mozart didn't write the libretto. He wrote the music. This has nothing to do with Mozarts personal life

The truth is not a lot of people really like his music. Most people can rattle off a bunch of Beethoven tunes, maybe a Bach piece or two, Claire De Lune for sure, but he doesn't really have a lot of memorable pieces like that. The Queen of the Night aria for sure, but if that one woman didn't sing it, nobody would know it. Even a lot of performers don't like his music. Everyone is forced to play it for recitals, and a lot of it is annoying, and very light and flighty. Nothing wrong with loving his work, but let's be real--people talk about the movie because that's all they know, and most won't go past that. Honestly, if they didn't hype Magic Flute in this movie beyond anything, would 99% of us have listened to it? A lot of people like the idea of Mozart, not the reality.

@@arryaxx263 I assume this is a joke. People love Mozart and he is enormously respected by most musicians. Mozart doesn't have a lot of memorable pieces? Holy shit dude. Eine Kleine Nachmusik. The Rondo Alla Turca from the Piano Sonata in A major, K. 331. The Lacrimosa from the Requiem. The Overture from the Marriage of Figaro. Piano Concerto No. 21 in C Major. The first movement of Symphony No. 40 in G minor. "La ci darem la mano" from Don Giovanni. These are some of the most commonly referenced pieces of music in all of Western culture.

In addition, the Magic Flute is the least hyped of all operas in this film. We dont get a review of it by Salieri and we only see most characters in passing. The Magic Flute is one of the most well-known operas of all, especially in a German speaking country like the one I'm from.

Just like the actors throughout the movie!

*Samuel Ramey

I'd say he's how every artist feels all the time. In this day and age, especially, it's very easy to find someone on a higher level than you to compare yourself to.

I'm confused here. What??

@@jasminnemcdonald94A F. Murray Abraham (Salieri) plays an gangster in Scarface, where he gets hung after they find out he’s an undercover cop, and the actor playing the Emperor is the Headteacher/villain in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

Okay fuck you how's that?

You alright man?

+bailey guan It's only a movie ! it's Hollywood! for the REAL story, read a book ! "Mozart" by Marcia Davenport is one of the best

+bailey guan It's only a movie ! it's Hollywood! for the REAL story, read a book ! "Mozart" by Marcia Davenport is one of the best

+bailey guan This is a great movie, but the main things it states is not true...in reality EVERYONE knew, in reality, Mozart was a genius, he and Salieri were not enemies, Salieri was sure as hell not mediocre, he was great, but was, like THOUSANDS of classical musicians, overshadowed by Mozart. The rest is conpsiracy theory and fiction based on facts.

yes Dirk R but Wolfie still died broke and couldn't even a decent funeral, he WAS buried in a mass paupers' grave, etc.

ignorecorporatenews ..no he wasnt, it was a commoners grave 1 person

Have you seen the movie? He's a bloody moron when it comes to music.

Not his fault. Mozart was far too early.

Deus Paligorius why should a emperor be a good musician?

HanKyeolYoon Because it is expected of him. And in reality the Emperor and his family were very capable musicians...

I thought the same but Imho it's the scene during Don Giovanni. You can see the pain, fear & anguish that he alone heard!
