This is that kind of comedy... My friend wanted to see it lol

Did Arrival not win the poll? Bit confused since the times I looked it was in the lead. I'm sure it will come eventually, just wondered if I missed something since it's one of my favorite movies.

Had already recorded Amadeus when I saw it won a week ago, Arrival had more votes after I were already done filming and started editing 😅

Well that's disappointing, but understandable. Thanks for the quick response.

This is my favorite movie. Thank you for reaching to it! Thank you for checking historical facts too!

I know I'm late to the party but what are you always looking at when you look off to the side, your right, our left? Are you originally streaming these reactions live and you're looking at chat? Or just looking at your recording software or something? You seem very distracted during these moments and that is, in turn, very distracting to watch ^^'

Checking audio levels, and seeing if the recording still goes. Had my fair share of reactions going wrong because I didn't check these previously :) I still check it in my more recent reactions, but haven't had any reactions where we can't hear nor see me or the movie since 2022! 😎

I honestly don't care that this movie is mostly fictional, it's such a good story. Salieri is such a fascinating character, as portrayed here. And it wouldn't have worked without F. Murray Abraham, he's fantastic. Obviously mostly a villain, a bitter, spiteful, narcissistic man, they still give him this odd endearing side which Abraham sells so well, his deep love and appreciation for music in general and Mozart's music in specific, you just can't help but adore his passion. As to the director's cut, I have mixed feelings. Keep in mind though that there's "only" 20 minutes of extra stuff in the director's cut, the theatrical is also 161 minutes long and if you thought all of the opera scenes were a bit much, they are all in the theatrical cut anyway ^^' But as to the added scenes, some of them are definitely unnecessary and overly long, like that whole backstage drama scene around the beginning of the movie with the soprano Salieri was "in lust" with, I really feel like that scene drags in the DC. The relationship between her and Salieri wasn't really built up enough to warrant this much drama, and she's never mentioned again afterwards anyway, so the shorter scene in the theatrical cut works better in my opinion. While other additions just disrupt the flow of scenes, like the brief flashes to Constanze away while Mozart is in his death bed dictating to Salieri. That latter scene is incidentally probably my favorite of the whole movie, just two experts at work, and the simultaneous delight and just sense of being overwhelmed expressed by Salieri at the genius of Mozart and his process, not to mention Mozart's ability and clear-headedness when he's just hours away from death, it's so great. Even if you don't understand the technical stuff, it doesn't really matter, the emotion that is being conveyed is the important thing. And the two brief flashes to Constanze do somewhat take away from the intensity of that scene. We don't really care where she is or the logistics of her return. On the other hand, some additional scenes I do like. The whole subplot with the lowbrow nobleman who wanted Mozart to teach his daughter, I think that adds to Mozart's characterization. I also like the most controversial of additions, the scene where Constanze is willing to basically prostitute herself to Salieri in order to help her husband. I don't think it was really necessary to make the, like what, 20-year-old Berridge undress herself onscreen, felt a bit creepy and male-gazey, but as a moment of characterization for both Constanze and Salieri, I think it really works. But overall, I just love this movie. I'm a lover a Mozart's music anyway, and the way this film employs it both as emotionally meaningful score and as plot-relevant diegetic music is simply masterful.
