Just finished watching Amadeus for the first time on /tv/'s recommendation and I have to say it was fantastic.
Is Salieri the most sympathetic and relatable villain of all time?
>salieri
>villian
>>71704502
>implying he isn't the hero
>>71704539
foil, antagonist, whatever you want to call him
>DR. PAVEEEEEEEEEEEL
>>71704502
>sympathetic
He's a cunt in the movie. He's a great character, but almost all of his hardships stem from his own rotten personality.
It really is a shame there aren't more period piece films as the set design in Amadeus was brilliant. Something about Enlightenment era decor is just so comfy
How long do you guys think mozartposting will live? I give it a week at most.
Reminder that Salieri is 4chan and Mozart is reddit
He should have banged Constance when he had the chance, it would have made him feel better. Who the fuck turns down a baby-faced qt with huge jugs anyway? What a faggot.
>tfw you are the Salieri of your life
>>71704683
I don't think he had a bad personality per se, but he did have an ego. If he'd never met Mozart it's quite likely his feelings of inadequacy and envy wouldn't have surfaced and that's the great tragedy about the whole thing.
I find him a very relatable character, however, as I think that everybody has met somebody in their lives who they can never hope to compete with. Someone who completely overshadows you with absolute ease and without even realising it.

>best friend since grade school
>in highschool he's 6'3", blonde hair, green eyes
>I'm 5'5" brown hair, brown eyes
>he's really popular with everyone and I'm just seen as his friend
>gets girls to do homework for him
>goes away to party college
>I stay and go into a tougher field
>bust my ass in school to get good marks
>get a good job and do nothing but work and save to buy my own place
You think there would be some kind of poetic justice but a rich girl approached him and club and pretty much gives him a free home, food, etc. Meanwhile I'm still single breaking my back trying to do it the 'normal' way.
>>71705087
I can understand your frustration but I don't think it's comparable. Salieri, like a lot of people (myself included), was frustrated at the ease in which Mozart practiced a skill that Salieri worked his ass off at. And even with all his hard work he could still never hope to match Mozart.
It's one thing to be born short or ugly but those things you have no control over. But with a skill you do. And to have that skill you can improve upon, to have all the hard work you put into it blown away by sheer natural talent, nevermind their own hard work on top of that, is just an awful feeling.
Out of curiosity do you get along well with your friend or resent him?
>Yfw they had a friendly rivalry in real life, went to plays together and enjoyed each others music
There's actually a pretty great film on the making of the film itself

>>71705231
We're still best friends.
It's not really a skill rivalry, just that everything good happens to him because of what "god" gave him, while I have to squeeze blood from a stone to get anything. That's just the way it is.
>>71705454
thanks 4 posting m8
Is claiming the villain is actually the good guy one of those memes I keep hearing about?
>>71705231
Talent is also a thing you are born with, some people are much smarten and better than other people in their own profession eventhough they practice it for 2 months instead of 20 years.
>>71705745
But talent doesn't mean shit if it doesn't have an outlet. Yeah there are people who get better than contemporary experts in a skill in no time at all but they still have to invest themselves to some degree in that skill.
hnnnnnnnnnnnng
Which cut is better?
>>71706403
Director's Cut. Adds a lot to the film without it feeling bloated or the scenes superfluous.
Was he autistic? Something about him just seemed off.

>Is Salieri the most sympathetic and relatable villain of all time?
Hahaha, no. There's nothing more pathetic and contemptible than the Salieris of life.
As someone who always had natural talent in a number of things, there was nearly always a pathetic, bitter Salieri. After a while, though, it just gets to be funny.
>>71704803
Not true, 4chan invents the memes.
>>71704698
agreed senpai
>>71704803
Literally the exact opposite.
>>71704803
>One is crude, disgusting and creates content shared over the whole web
>The other is uncreative and has to content itself with simply ripping off the former whilst maintaining an undeserved sense of superiority over them
I don't think you thought this through
>>71706345
>>71708702
literally waifu tier
How did this film win an Oscar for those costumes? They're horrible. HBO has better period clothing, ffs.
>>71705454
good post i like it
Play CIA
>>71704502
The real villain was God, for giving such talent to an asshole.
>>71706917
Of all the "that guys" that actor is the most most thattest that guy.
The begining is the best part.
>How well are you trained in shitpost?
>I know a little. I shitposted in my youth.
>Where?
>Here on 4chan.
>Ah! Then you must know this
>"JUST FUCK MY SHIT UP"
>I can't say that I do. What is it?
>It was a very popular meme on its day. I made it.
>Here, how about this?
>"Now THIS is podracing"
>I made it.

>This one brought down the board when we shitposted it...
>"What did he mean this?"
>Well?
>I regret it is not too familiar.
>Can you recall no meme of mine?
>I was the most famous shitposter in 4chan.
>I made 40 memes alone.
>Here! What about this one? "IF I PULL THAT OFF WOULD YOU DIE"-
>"IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY PAINFUL, YOU'RE A BIG GUY, FOR YOU!"
>Yes, I know that! That's charming!
>I'm sorry, I didn't know you shitposted that.
>I didn't. These were the baneposters...
>Bane Posters.
>The men you accuse yourself of cucking.
After 20 years of ignoring it, and just recently seeing it, this may be my new favorite movie. The story is magical, what great characters, I don't care about historical accuracy in this case, it is a wonderful fable.
The art direction is fabulous, the costumes splendid, lighting is perfect in every scene. Acting is spot on. And the way the music flows with the narrative!!!
Overall, as close to perfection as a movie can get.
>>71710239
spot on, mate
Damn, the guy who played Mozart got JUSTed hard
>>71706825
I have to disagree. If it's a first time viewing one should really just stick with the film cut. The Director's edition adds some good scenes but the movie drags on too long. It's best watched by people who are already fans of the film.
>>71710750
he's just fat
>>71704539
he tried to murder mozart by slowly making him go insane hes a villain
>>71710239
>*tips*
>>71711221
He hasn't had any good roles in years
>>71710750
I think he quit acting
>>71706917
>>71710281
He's a convicted child-rapist
>>71710387
kek
>>71706345
>they almost cast another actress
God smiled upon this movie
>>71714209
He truly belonged here

>the guy who played Mozart
Is better know for playing Pinto.

All memes aside about her tits and all she is probably the best wife material film character of all time. She was just so sweet and loving and was genuinely devoted to her husband. Even when she was about to let Salieri fuck her it was because she genuinely wanted her husband's career to succeed instead of her being unsatisfied with the relationship and she still felt terribly guilty afterwards despite Salieri changing his mind.
>tfw you will literally never meet a girl like her
They made him a cunt for the movie.
Real historical accounts of him say that he was actually a pretty decent guy.
>>71705712
there are no real villains in unforgiven either. Little Bill was just doing what he must.
>>71707083
Not anymore. 4chan has appropriated memes from tumblr, facebook, reddit and twitter.
>>71717825
It's kind of both ways now.
It was 4chan making memes.
Then since people became famous making memes, people went to Reddit,etc to post OC and other good stuff in a bid to get famous,girls,money.
But now there are things people don't want to get seen doing, so 4chan is producing counter culture memes.
