Terrific job by Tom Hulce and F. Murray Abraham, with fantastic visuals thanks to the production design and costumes.
The movie tells the tragic story of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Hulce) and his meteoric rise to stardom, only to die suddenly, through the eyes of his rival/confida...( read more)
The beauty of Mozarts music is combined with the sadness of his life story, a masterpiece
Celebration of music and genius. Critical portrait of Mozart with paradox at the film's core. F. Murray Abraham's Salieri portrays tragedy from the inability of talent to live up to desire.
Stunning performance by F. Murray Abraham, Love the music and the costumes.
I found this surprisingly interesting and entertaining. It was really good and Tom Hulce is HOT!
Amadeus is a 1984 drama directed by Milo? Forman and written by Peter Shaffer. Based on Shaffer's stage play Amadeus, the film is based very loosely on the lives of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonio Salieri, two composers who lived in Vienna, Austria, during the later half of t...( read more)
Tom Hulce brings an ANIMAL HOUSE sensibility to his portrayal of Wolfgang "Puck" Mozart. With Belushi having done Beethoven on SNL, one asks: when will Flounder make that Igor Stravinsky biopic?
Yawn... No, no, no! I can't understand why i watched this, awful music and almost 3 hours wasted. I wont watch this movie again.. I am sure that this music was very popular when amadeus was alive, but now i just cant understand what's so good with it. Anyways i think Elisabeth Be...( read more)
Milos Forman at the top of his game is the toe-to-toe match of any director who ever lived.
F. Murray Abraham is incredible as Salieri, who exemplifies envy in the light of the truly gifted Mozart.
A compelling exploration of a musical genius who is one of the most fascinating people in history, brilliantly seen through the eye's of one of his contemporaries.
Tom Hulce and F. Murray Abraham are spectacular as Mozart and Salieri. Mozart's laugh made me laugh throughout the entire movie.
Murray Abraham delivers one of the best ten performances of all time in this movie. This is a movie done right, a movie done perfectly.
Breathtaking performance and film ! Mozart's got a quite weird-funny laugh !
Wonderful performances by all the crew. The only major disappointment I have is from the way Mozart and Stanzi talks. They seem to be in an 80s drama rather than a story set in the late 1700s in Vienna. Of course, most of the facts are inaccurate but it's a piece of fiction and i...( read more)
I watched it due the Music classes and I was not fascinated. Although, it is a good film. But, I am not keen on biopics.
Follows the man who invented classical music and set screamingly high standards for creativity which to this day are rarely exceeded. I think we all know it didn't quite happen like this, but a wholly accurate biography will hardly ever live up to the excitement of one that sligh...( read more)
Incredible acting. Shows a fresh and compeling sight at the life of a genius.
From the first half hour I knew I would like this film. Always, the period of 16th-17th century fascinated me. Not so long ago but long enough. But this film was more. It made me see classical music and opera from a different perspective. The music of Bach,Beethoven and Mozart I ...( read more)
An interesting depiction of Mozart, I'm not a fan of classical music but this is an awesome movie and the music works so well in it.
As accessible as Mozart's music. A tremendously entertaining film. Not a great deal of subtext, but still worth raving about.
Didnt think i would like this movie, but after seeing it in school, i found it was really good
i really despised the guy who portrayed mozart! what kind of laughing is that? it is so freaking annoying!!!!!!!!
I was looking up best picture oscar winners. and I came across a few movies I'd never heard off including this. Well it's an epic tale of Mozart's life told by a jealous rival composer, who's been put in an asylum. The acting was great as well as the production, and the directing...( read more)
One of the few films where I think the Theatrical release was better than the Director's cut. An amazing movie all around.
No es que se trate de una historia desconocida pero lo que si podemos ver en esta peli es una gran puesta en escena y unas excelentes actuaciones, la recreación de la época es sencillamente maravillosa
I really love it, especially F Murray Abrahams performance and Tom Hulce, I just love it.. sometimes it feels a bit long.. but it is long.. and I always find something new to love about it, when I watch..
i dont know... ive never heard of it before... i googled it... its made in 1984... was ranked 53rd best american movie in 1998..
Uh, didn't like this. Maybe because I HAD to watch it for a class. The only thing I liked about this was the editing: sound and visual. I really didn't like the guy who played Amadeus and the chick who played his wife. They were annoying. They didn't have accents when others did....( read more)
Great storytelling. I liked this movie even when I watched it in 7'th grade music class.
spectacular performance by F Murray Abraham as the jealous enemy . carries the whole movie.
Watched in in Music Apperciation Class and Really Enjoy it Suprisingly!
What can I say about this movie that has not already been said by thousands of people over the course of three decades? There is something frightening about this film that makes you believe in good and evil, superiority and mediocrity, shadow and light and most of all blind know...( read more)
