I saw this film in the theatres every week with my father from the time it was released to when it was withdrawn. I have seen it countless times ever since it was available on VHS, DVD, streaming etc. Although I much prefer the theatrical release to the director's cut for the most part - YOU HAVE MADE ME SEE THE FILM WITH BRAND NEW EYES! So many new things to consider - insights - valuable observations!!!!
I think the transition from bickering mother-in-law to the Queen of the Night aria shows two things: 1)Mozart is a genius and his mind is constantly on his music and 2) his music is relatable and reveals eternal truth. We are all Papagenos, Figaros, Leporellos, at some point or another in our lives. We also meet plenty of Count Almaviva, of ghosts made of stone and yes, Queens of the night.
I love that bit where you inserted a Sex Pistols song as Mozart is shown having quite a rebellious punk rock attitude. I recall Roger Ebert's review of the movie in which he mentioned Mozart's wig resembling the hair of a punk rocker.
The depiction of the staging of Mozarts operas always bothered me. They didn't always depict what I knew to be happening at that point in the story. The aria with the queen of the night singing to nobody in particular is a particularly obvious example. But, as you say, done for the purpose of telling Mozart's story, forgivable. And, yes: speaking as an amateur actor, i can confirm, the show must go on! You never drop the mask, assuming that the theatre's not on fire, and that the show can go on, it does. Dem's de rules of show biz.
These videos you are making are truly excellent! Very well though out and interesting to listen to. This is one of my all-time favourite movies, and I really enjoy your break downs! Can't wait to see the climax coming up next!!
I like how in the scene where constanza yells at Emmanuel (when he is holding Mozart by the collar), Mozart is looking at her on the side almost as if he is looking at the dispute from an outside point of view and not being directly involved in it. Congrats for these movie review btw, i love them. such an amazing film.
The mother-in-law escapade is one related to me, while growing up, to the pitfalls of marriage. Again, a father perspective is given via a film directed by Milos Forman.
I think the confrontation between Mozart and Schikaneder mainly shows a more unpleasant side of the latter. He was depicted as a carefree party guy, Mozart's partner in crime, now he's just a greedy entertainer wanting to exploit Mozart's talent for all it's worth.Constanze is the voice of reason here: the prospect of Mozart earning anything from The Magic Flute seems uncertain at best and certainly not worth the stress, or the bullying from Schikaneder. I love the "it'll never catch on" moment by the way: yes, on paper The Magic Flute seems pretty rubbish, a naive tale that doesn't know where it's going. And now it's one of the most popular operas in the world and something that resonates with people's mind.
This is very random but the music at the beginning of the Zelda game "Tears of The Kingdom" sounds very similar to one of Mozart's songs in Amadeus (the one he hears from the room him and Constanze are in which prompts him to get up and run to where the musicians are and take over from the other conductor).
The shock in the face at 19:40 is probably because he realised that he abandoned the performance which he was conducting. That's always been my interpretation at least.
Mozart had sketched out the requiem over spring and summer 1791 The film took licenses of course,which you pointed out is not a bad thing. It's not a documentary Cheers
my personal headcanon here with constanze's mom and the transition is that he made the opera he liked rather than the requiem he should as a form of defiance towards her.
@@leoavantmusic nono, this is Il Trovatore, another opera of his. The "libretto" is very important to follow, a very strong plot. I wont tell you anything. If youre into opera, just listen to it. And i hope youll like it
@@clardergrarder4991 I'll try but I'm not very good with following plots, I know shocking considering I'm doing this series but it's genuinely true hahaha
Are you the same guy from movie birthdays That thing was bad ass. You just need to make those videos in advance so that way you can release them every week.

So you purposely like to make my mind wander and turn me off, plus annihilate u ala Longshanks style?

Ebert is DEAD BUDDY
And? Hot pink punk rocker he is INDEED....
Yeah I liked that too, it fits perfectly 😂
Screaming over the frollo/salieri and mozart/quasimodo parallels

I like the part when Simon Callie’s character says “OH” when challenged about his libretto. 😂

Very good observation, I never thought about it like that!
"Why on earth won't you finish?"
I LOVE the intro to Zauberflote.
Amazing

Hi, have you ever listened to Giuseppe Verdis Il Trovatore?
No but I will and will get back to ya
Oh if it’s the same thing as la traviata then yh I’ve heard bits and pieces, particularly after hearing the reference in ANT Farm pffffff
