Literally a classic piece of art.
This isn't a biographical film of Mozart's life. It's the story told from Salieri's envy of the musical prodigy.
The music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart has never been so powerful. Perfectly cast and backed up with beautiful music words cannot describe how moving and beautiful this piece of art truly is.
The actors cease to be actors, they transform into their characters, and the direction is...( read more)
The ending piece, when his funeral song is played, actually made me cry. A magnifiscent musical piece.
Watched this in my High School Humanities 102 class. It was very intense. I recall wondering why we were really watching it, and it turned out to be more of a treat and less informative then originally stated. I'm glad I had the chance to enjoy it while I was still in high school...( read more)
Much like Quills and Dragon this is a far more interesting way of making a biopic: rather than detail their life, take the "tone" of their "work" and construct a story from that. And here we have success! It pushes three hours but it has such vibrancy and energy to it thanks to ...( read more)
Amadeus is truly a classic. This film is a living portrait of an era, even if they did stretch the truth somewhat to make the two primary characters more interesting. Ordinarily, that kind of artistic license would annoy me but in this instance it seems irrelevant compared to the...( read more)
Fantastic costumes and Salieri is very convincing. Parts of it are factual and parts are entirely made up, and it makes Salieri look like a bad man, when he probably wasn't!
The atmoshpere of the film is good and of course the music is beautiful.
Great movie. Good story and brilliant music. I wonder how much is true. Guess we' ll never know.
Brilliantly acted, flawless production design, and most importantly very entertaining. Amadeus is a masterpiece; a film for the ages.
I don't know what to say. The performances were brilliant, the script was tight, the direction was beautiful, the music sounded great, but overall it did nothing for me.
Milos Forman's most complex, best-developed and most outstanding beautifully made, choreographed, dressed and directed American masterpiece. It is an amazing contemporary biographical portrait in so many aspects: acting, direction, dressing, art direction, among others. The direc...( read more)
the first true musical libertine, and the starter of a new musical era, and through it, a new world view. Romanticism had begun. one of the best bios i've seen. three cheers for Forman, and specially for the brilliantness of the cast.
in mathematics,they said that,when negative meet negative,then the result is positive.well,it looks like that theory could also be implemented in films.Amadeus is the perfect example for me.this movie genre is biopic,and at the same time,a period drama.both is a genre that i don'...( read more)
A decent movie depicting the life of Amadeus Mozart. The film is a great period piece and has great characters and story. The film has a all star cast and was very entertaining. You have to love the music through out the film. Classic. Well worth the oscar win. Check it out.
NO creo que Mozart fuese tan idiota, pero siendo un retrato hecho por Salieri (q en verdad no opinaba esto de Mozart), está bien.
ovaj film nije potrebno komentarisat. samo je dovoljno cuti "Mocarta" kako se smije u njemu i cijeli film je awesome!
Everything in it is good: the scenarios, the clothes, the actors, the soundtrack...
I'm a HUGE Mozart fan (don't judge me), so I think this will be perfect for me!!!
I've seen this film probably 5 times or so and it's still very watchable, primarily for F Murray Abraham's portrayal of 'old' Salieri which is quite brilliant. The pace, editing, music, storyline are all top notch. The only gripe I have that stops me from giving it 5 stars is the...( read more)
Visto per la prima volta a quattro anni. Dovrei ringraziare mio padre per questo, perchè mi ha permesso di conoscere il mondo della musica classica e dell'opera, che ancora adesso amo profondamente. E le risate di Tom Hulce sono semplicemente adorabili!
Primero que nada debo decir que "Amadeus" es una grandiosa produccion (que arraso con los premios Oscar de 1984); llena de imagenes opulentes, es una pelicula excepcionalmente montada y filmada, sin embargo tengo dos problemas con la cinta. El primero es la interpretacion de Tom ...( read more)
Forman's masterpiece. There are more works. I assume that M.Forman managed producing good films even in the States.
My absolute favorite movie. Hulce and Abraham are incredible actors and the music is of course, out of this world. (:
