Gripping human drama. Sumptuous period epic. Glorious celebration of the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. This marvelous winner of eight Academy Awards(R) portrays the rivalry between the genius Mozart (Tom Hulce) and the jealous court composer (Best Actor Oscar(R) Winner F.Murray Abraham) who may have ruined Mozart's career and shortened his life.

«I saw to it that Don Giovanni was only played five times in Vienna, but in secret I went to every one of those five »

That line is one of my absolute favorites in any movie. Its so evil and haunting, but at the same time so sad and desperate. The delivery is just spot on. Here is a man trying desperate to make people not recognize the true genius  that got the gift of music which he feels he was denied. His entire character can be summed up with that brilliant sentence.

I agree. That line still haunts me, along with «I'm the patron saint of mediocrities »

Spot on. And I love how in each succeeding shot of Salieri in the balcony, he shrinks further and further back n his seat.

"Amadeus". Breathtaking from start to finish and this, by far, is the best scene in the movie. Gives me chills every time.

«...that the horrifying apparition was Leopold... raised from the dead! » 

«Wolfgang had summoned up his own father to accuse his son before all the world! It was terrifying and wonderful to watch. As l stood there, understanding.. how that bitter old man still possessed his poor son.. .even from beyond the grave... l began to see a way... a terrible way...  could finally triumph over God »
