message: I always thought the point of that scene was that Constanza was so poor she couldn't afford a funeral and Mozart was buried with the poor.

replies: text: No, no, no. This is an amazingly persistent misconception.  Mozart was NOT buried in a mass grave.  He was buried in a COMMON grave.  There's a big difference.  A mass grave is, as the name suggests, a hole in which multiple bodies are buried, the identities of whom are not specified above ground.  A common grave is for one body, with the name identified above ground.  But there was no guarantee of permanent burial with a common grave, so at some future time the body might be dug up and disposed of, to make way for a more recently deceased body.  Aristocrats and members of the nobility had permanent graves, but ordinary (common) citizens had common (impermanent) graves.  Nothing whatever to do with mass graves.  --  Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 10:48, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

message: There is two DVD's of the movie. The Director's Cut and the original one. My local library has both of them. The theatrical version has an R rating for brief nudity, as does the director's cut, but the scene in the director's cut where Constanze shows her breasts is not included and the runtime is 20 minutes shorter. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.223.219.133 (talk) 17:55, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: If, by "theatrical version", you mean the one shown in theaters, it has a PG rating, not R. (It is probably the only PG film that shows an adult man's penis.) I dislike the "director's cut", because most of the scenes add nothing to the story, and the post-Abduction scene in the dressing room is poorly written.

replies: text: Hello, WS. It is unlikely that the IP who opened this thread 3 and a half years ago will see your post -- although anything is possible. OTOH I agree with your assessment of the added scenes (with one slight exception -- after what Salieri put her through C's antipathy toward him later in the film makes sense.) I don't like putting the director's cut on my DVD player so, hopefully, a Blu-ray release will give us the option of which version to watch. Cheers. MarnetteD | Talk 16:50, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Correct. We now know why Constanze so badly wants Salieri to get out. We also know why Mozart is swigging a bottle of wine as he stalks the streets. The Blu-ray has been around several years, and does not give one a choice. I just scan over the restored scenes. (Saved the DVD and LV, though.)

Calling for Mozart's forgiveness as his assassin happens before the attempted suicide not after. After there is disturbing noises.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: A student I oversaw started work on a revamped awards section at User:Icleamons/sandbox. They also started in on some of the reception - the page is a little jumbled about but I was thinking that the tables especially could be useful. I'll try to get back to this, but if anyone wants to work on this first, go for it. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 19:36, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

message: Just to cover all the bases this attempt to add an unknown cast member to the list does not meet the guidelines at WP:FILMCAST. Occasionally an uncredited cast member can be mentioned in an article as with Sam Waterston at Hannah and Her Sisters but there isn't even a name for the person that the 2 Ian's are trying to shoehorn into this article. There are dozens of unnamed actors in the crowd scenes of this film and none of them merit inclusion in this article. MarnetteD|Talk 04:18, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
thread_title: Unneeded edits

message: I recall watching Amadeus on TV in the late 1980s, and my memory clearly has it Mozart was not buried during a 'rainstorm' as the end of the Plot section in the article states, but in snow (or to be precise a synthetic imitation of it) which I recall seeing lightly covering over the bodies in the grave. Can someone check this out? It was Beethoven who was buried reputedly amidst a storm.Cloptonson (talk) 06:04, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: It's such a minor detail and so irrelevant to the plot that I've simply removed it. DonIago (talk) 07:03, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
