I also watched this movie last night... and although I did
enjoy what was there, it was only 50 minutes or so long!!!
Come on... I thought there must've been something wrong with
my copy of it, but probably not... it was enjoyable no
doubt, I especially liked the scenes where Mozart and
Serinelli (sp?) were working on the piece of music... but,
it was far too short... lots of things could've been
expanded upon in my opinion...

you're right...
hehe 50 minutes? hahaha...
I thought it was kinda too long...
but yeah a good movie,
should watch it again.
I dig Milos Forman... or didn't he do it?

Really, 160 minutes? Damn, the one I watched was seriously
only 50 minutes or so... hmmm, weird...

that is really weird though... I just put the dvd in, and it
played automatically... didn't even go to the menu first...
and then after 50 minutes the credits came up...

Heh, after like 40 minutes or so, Mozart had died and I was
like "What the fuck?"

:)

"50 minutes long"?!?! aaaaaahahahha

maybe it's like what happens sometimes when my computer has
all the RAM used up. a video or audio file, or even a DVD,
will skip a lot and what was once a 2 minute scene is 30
seconds of stop-and-start madness.

how you couldn't have noticed the difference is beyond
me?!?

maybe you had an accidental playlist of only certain scenes.

i'm assuming your dvd has two sides to it, yes?

hahaha. you have to flip it over for the other half. i have
that dvd and actually just watched it a couple of nights
ago. that's funny.

i'm glad they didn't do this historic record style. it's
among my favorite films not because of the reality of it,
because the direction and acting and all were just great.

there it is!

yeah... but unfortunately... people are taking the movie as
fact... and thats rather unfair to Sallieri

wow major difference of opinion. i grew up listening to
classical and opera.....i love it AS much as modern music.

you should give it another try, lots of musicians get
inspiration from classical composeurs....aka NIN, AFX....=0)

when you finish Amadeus.....i'll recommend a couple of arias

heavens.......ehhehehe

yeah, I haven't seen him anywhere else I don't think... he
did a great job, even won the oscar I believe... but I
really liked Selineri (I swear, I do not know how to spell
it)... the actor did a great job (forget his name), but the
character was just yummy... such a great character...

f. murray abraham (antonio salieri) was the one who won the
academy award. tom hulce (mozart) has done crap since and
before then (well...unless you liked the voice of quasimodo
in disney's adaptation of the hunchback of notre dame).
hah.

and the music was conducted by one sir neville mariner.

i love this movie. and i recall saying somewhere in this
thread that the other half of the movie was on the other
side of the disc. you gooner. =P

Yeah, you thought it was fifty minutes? Ha. And you were so
concerned about how stupid it was making a movie like that
fifty minutes that you wrote something here. "lots of things
could've been expanded upon in my opinion" Ha.

I have the extended version DVD and it's like 171min long,
but anyway the point is salieri didn't kill mozart, but he
was driven crazy by him so much that he really wanted to
kill him, and when mozart died, salieri figured he had
killed him through music.

DON'T YOU GET IT!!!

remember it's a story. Salieri's involvement in his death
was not necessarily true.
