DVD Reviews of Amadeus

DVD Review: What a great movie!
Summary: 4 Stars

This artistic biography of Amadeus Mozart is not just for classical music fans. If your into music of any type the excitement of musical genius can be paralleled with the artist that inspires you. An exciting movie in and of itself, whether you love music or never even turn on the radio, this movie will hold you in trance to the very end. You will find yourself searching for Mozart CD's or MP3s on Amazon right after the disc pops out. You may even be thinking of getting yourself a keyboard. The blu-ray version is not much better than an upconverted DVD but it is better. I believe there was not enough extras included for this to be a "special" release, but still well worth adding to your collection.

DVD Review: Extra scenes are a bit racy, but great movie!
Summary: 5 Stars

Love this movie. One scene was particularly revealing, so be careful when watching with children.

DVD Review: Amadeus
Summary: 3 Stars

not impressed with the dvd not having a cover and coming in a plastic case with the only thing on the dvd to identify it was the small print on the disk.

DVD Review: Great Movie
Summary: 5 Stars

I really have loved this movie for years. Now i had the chance to get it in HD.
It just looks great on full HD. a bit grainy on some dark scenes but not to cry over it. love the colors, the music etc.. sadly enough my receiver is broken so i had to content myself with the osund coming out of the tv.

But this is a must if you love classical music. This version comes with a cd containg music from the movie, a booklet with pics and actors biografy and a disc that will halp you get your digital copy for mobile stuff.

Go buy it. you wont regret

DVD Review: W-O-W
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie was absolutely astounding!!!! I loved it... The costumes, the scenery, the actors and actresses... Just amazing! And the music... Indescribable! I loved how they put this together...

I've been studying Mozart for a while... And I won't make any assumptions, but most of the facts were true I believe. Of course I haven't been researching his life for years and years... But most of it is quite accurate my by studies. : )

I know Mozart was in fact very spontaneous and loved to 'live life' as he told his father in his letters. He also did love women as well. He ALSO was witty and had a very 'wicked' sense of humor. Tom Hulce played him with just the PERFECT amount of eccentricity! It was great!

I LOVE THE LAUGH TOM HULCE GAVE HIM!!!

Ahahaha!!! Ha! Ha..! Ha... Ha?

***** 5 STARS!

Description of Amadeus

The incredible story of wolfgang amadeus mozart told in flashback mode by antonio salieri - now confined to an insane asylum. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 02/08/2005 Starring: F. Murray Abraham Tom Hulce Run time: 158 minutes Rating: Pg Director: Milos Forman
The satirical sensibilities of writer Peter Shaffer and director Milos Forman (One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest) were ideally matched in this Oscar-winning movie adaptation of Shaffer's hit play about the rivalry between two composers in the court of Austrian Emperor Joseph II--official royal composer Antonio Salieri (F. Murray Abraham), and the younger but superior prodigy Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Tom Hulce). The conceit is absolutely delicious: Salieri secretly loathes Mozart's crude and bratty personality, but is astounded by the beauty of his music. That's the heart of Salieri's torment--although he's in a unique position to recognize and cultivate both Mozart's talent and career, he's also consumed with envy and insecurity in the face of such genius. That such magnificent music should come from such a vulgar little creature strikes Salieri as one of God's cruelest jokes, and it drives him insane. Amadeus creates peculiar and delightful contrasts between the impeccably re-created details of its lavish period setting and the jarring (but humorously refreshing and unstuffy) modern tone of its dialogue and performances--all of which serve to remind us that these were people before they became enshrined in historical and artistic legend. Jeffrey Jones, best-known as Ferris Bueller's principal, is particularly wonderful as the bumbling emperor (with the voice of a modern midlevel businessman). The film's eight Oscars include statuettes for Best Director Forman, Best Actor Abraham (Hulce was also nominated), Best Screenplay, and Best Picture. --Jim Emerson
