thoughts on Amadeus?
10/10
I'm just like Amadeus except not nearly as popular and I can't play anything

Unpopular opinion: it's boring and annoying as hell.

>The lofty playwright Peter Shaffer has the minor composer Salieri (F. Murray Abraham) declaring war on Heaven for gypping him, and determined to ruin the incomparable Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Tom Hulce) because God's voice is speaking through him. The story is told to a priest (and to us) many years later, by the mad, suicidal old Salieri, and there is the suggestion that what we're seeing is his delusion, but the weight of the production, which is reminiscent of big biographical movies such as THE LIFE OF EMILE ZOLA and A SONG TO REMEMBER, asserts its own kind of authority. The director, Miloš Forman, trudges through the movie as if every step were a major contribution to art, and he keeps the audience hooked. Some redeeming qualities: Amadeus Mozart's music, Twyla Tharp's staging of the dances and opera excerpts, Abraham's eager, slimy Salieri, Jeffrey Jones' amusingly vapid Emperor Joseph II, and downtown Prague as 18th-century Vienna.

so is this if you loved it

I really love that they didn't make people act like a typical period piece. I've seen criticism that Mozart and his wife are too "80s" but I think that makes the movie better than stuffy accents and stilted speech. It makes Mozart a real person and not a museum piece.
Abraham is more than talented enough to make the period play work though
i couldn't get in to it the first time i tried to watch it but i'm glad i eventually did because it's pretty good
>>63690866
I still can't get over it that Amadeus is Pinto from Animal House.
>>63691395

When I watched it I was confused why they were being played like every other 80's comedy characters, then it hit me he's meant to be an anachronism and every other performance is by the book period piece. Since it's told from Salieri's point of view it's exactly as he would have perceived Mozart. F.MA's performance absolutely held the movie together, it just an amazing film.

Thats one way of looking at it. I just considered that not everyone in the past was stoic and polite without fault. I prefer your outlook though.
>>63691477
nice dubs
chek these

Good lord, my very soul shivered.
>>63690866
There are some great scenes in it, its pacing can be slow at times but if you're patient it's well worth it.
>>63690866
Fav movie
>>63690866
It's a wonderful film, but every single music class I was ever in played it. It got very old by junior year in high school, I still enjoy it on occasion, but Mozart's laugh will forever haunt me.
One of my favourite movies, bit long in places though. Tom Hulce as Mozart reminds me of a talented Ricky Gervais.
DOOOOOOOOON GIOOOVAAAAAAAAAAAAAANIIIII
WHEEEEEERE IS MY STIIIIIIIIIIIICKY
>>63690866
them titties under the table though..
As history it's shit, but as drama it's great. He did have an annoying laugh though. Gotta love when Wolfie bashes Gluck and "You are very passionate young Mozart, but you do not persuade" though FUCKING ICED DAWGGGG!
>>63694424
Why didn't Salieri fuck her?
>>63698671
dudes beta
All I know is the guy who played Mozart was also in Animal House. Now there's a movie with good music.

Every time Mozart laughed I cringed. Really was a great movie though.
Armond White on Amadeus:
>Milos Forman idolizes his nihilistic anti-hero of Salieri, in a shameless performance that ignores the depth of Peter Lorre's Hans Beckert in M, while resorting to eyebrow raising cliche; cackling, frowning, ‘acting’ for mainstream audiences who confuse the theater with high art. His performance is Jeremy Irons-grade, whose performance in Reversal of Fortune perpetuates one of the greatest frauds in cinema. Tom Hulce pays tribute to the rock star archetype with his darling-modern wife played horrendously by Elizabeth Berridge. Hulce ignores the quiet suffering and depth of Arthur Brown or Marc Bolan, instead choosing to depict the archetypal man-child that audiences relate to - as they allow one to avoid thought. The film is a cynical cash grab idolizing an average musician, while in its anti-religious, socialist view of the monarch (ripped straight from Ken Hugh’s Cromwell), pokes fun at the brainless masses who themselves mindlessly embrace Mozart's music. Through it all what is lacking is the depth of art itself, not as ear-window dressings and its spiritual grounding as in The Song of Bernadette or Francois Truffaut's Green Room. Everyone is barking, but no one knows why.
Immortal Beloved was better. Gary Oldman as Beethoven was a fucking inspiring choice.
Was anyone else immensely disappointed by Loves of a Blonde?
