Salieri was a very nice man who worked with Mozart on various projects

July 24, 2017

Format: Amazon VideoVerified Purchase

Oddly, this movie is so well done that you cannot help loving it.

Unfortunately, from what I have read, Mozart was not a sleazy, sex obsessed degenerate, and Antonio Salieri was not a jealous nut who tried to kill him. If fact, Salieri was a very nice man who worked with Mozart on various projects. He also taught Mozart's sons (he had two) after Mozart died.

Great movie, great music

June 27, 2017

Format: Amazon VideoVerified Purchase

I had never seen the play or the theatrical version of the movie, so my opinion is just about the Director's cut, which I watched. This was one of the greatest movies I've ever seen, seriously. I'm a casual music fan but I don't know much about the history of classical music or different composers, probably couldn't name more than one or two Mozart pieces, and then only because I've performed them. I do know the Requiem, though, and I'm very picky about how it is used (or over-used) in movies. This film does a wonderful job of overlaying Mozart's music on top of the fictional telling of his life, in a way that is very moving and touches on the core themes of humanity. I would recommend watching this movie to anyone with even the slightest interest in music, and even those who do not care for music at all. It's just a good story.

A Cinematic and Musical Fusion Like No Other

May 12, 2017

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

If you read the longish review by DVW, it will succinctly tell you what the Directors Cut does to the Theatrical Release, why it is good and why it is bad. I whole-heartedly agree with DVW's assessment. I also love AMADEUS so much, especially the Directors Cut, that for all I care they could have taken another 20 minutes of Milos' cutting room floor material and reinstated it as an Uncut Directors Cut! AMADEUS is one of those "perfect" movies. Like Casablanca or Gone With The Wind, Citizen Kane, 2001 A Space Odyssey, Schindler's List, a handful of others, AMADEUS has its own formidable life. The direction, the cinematography, the music sequences especially, the acting, the plot and subplots, everything adheres together in a gel of perfect balance. This is one of the movies you can watch over and over and each time spot something or hear something wondrously new and exciting that you didn't know before. I purchased this in 2007, ten years ago and just now getting around to reviewing it for Amazon because I normally do not review movies, mainly music. But this movie crosses the line, is special, and is a musical experience as well as a visual one.

The score is simply one of the best ever produced, engineered, recorded, for a feature film. On the DVD alone (I am sure it is even better on Bluray) the sonic space and surround are stupendous, enveloping and warm as needed, vibrant and dangerous as the movie progresses on. Naturally the whole score is Mozart, but it is one of the best conducted and arranged Mozarts I have ever heard and I have about a dozen Mozart CDs in my collection by all manner of European and American ensembles. Sir Neville Marriner and the Academy of St Martin in the Fields fill this movie with a heart-pounding soundtrack which carries you from opening title to end credits like a white water rafting trip on the Colorado. Incidentally, the soundtrack album/CD for the movie is arguably the best selling classical music album of all time (in terms of units sold).

The play upon which Amadeus is based on, and movie script itself, is written by Peter Shaffer who also left his heavy mark upon us with Equus a decade before Amadeus (and then again for the film script in '77). In both cases, Shaffer received an Academy Award and rightfully so, especially with Amadeus where he shows a lot of muscle and dexterity in his manipulation of two rival (from the viewpoint of Salieri) composers who are diametrically opposites of one another.

If you have been hiding under a rock for decades and have not watched AMADEUS, if you have cought a few minutes of it on a channel and didn't stay because you missed the beginning, do yourself a favor and spend some time with this movie, one of the preeminent works of art in the film industry. It is beautiful, it is funny, it is sad, it is mysterious, it is thunderous, it is heartbreaking, it is deceitful, and it is addictive. Mozart's Requiem during the run up to the end is perhaps one of the greatest cinematic and musical fusions ever brought to the screen (the opening sequence of TITUS comes close). For that alone, the film is worth every penny you pay for it.

Thank you DVW, hope I did not insult you with the description of "longish", my music reviews are often twice as long as your review was, I like detailed analysis.

They nearly ruined a great movie...

October 31, 2017

Format: Amazon VideoVerified Purchase

Very disappointed. The original movie is the one that won all the awards, they should've left it alone. I guess they wanted to make sure we got to see Elizabeth Berridge's boobs... I guess? But this cut is definitely more of a downer, you lose almost all affinity for Salieri and you find yourself looking at your watch (at least I did) and for me, showing this movie to my 15 year old daughter and her boyfriend got quite awkward when we were surprised to find a period of prolonged nudity and prostitution right in the middle off the movie.

No clue, maybe these details tell a more faithful story of the legendary tales... that doesn't mean they constitute a better story.

On the bright side, you come away still astonished at the greatness of Mozart and the score/soundtrack is gorgeous all the way through. The opening moments of the movie are still nearly perfect as Salieri begins to tell the stories and you see flashbacks and vignettes from their younger days. That part will forever be my favorite part of this movie.

This Director's Cut is TERRIBLE. Get the original on DVD.

February 4, 2018

Format: Blu-rayVerified Purchase

What a huge disappointment. The audio and HD transfer on this Blu-ray is great, but the Director’s Cut of this film is just AWFUL. The 20 minutes of scenes that were cut from this movie were cut for a reason. The deleted scenes are nothing more than pointless detours and fillers—they add nothing to the story or the development of the characters. There’s a long scene showing Mozart being frustrated for having to teach a pupil…which is totally satisfied in the original by Mozart simply stating to his father that he doesn’t want to teach pupils. There’s a scene where Mozart is asking someone for money because he’s broke…which is totally satisfied in the original by Mozart’s wife saying on multiple occasions that they’re broke. I could go on. This film is already long and there was literally no point (other than marketing the Blu-ray) to make it longer. The original version was flawless. This version is extremely flawed. The theatrical cut flowed beautifully and it never felt like a three-hour film. You feel every minute of this version. Although you’ll be sacrificing the sound and picture quality by purchasing the original DVD, it’s absolutely worth it if you care anything about this film. Again, what a huge disappointment.
