Amadeus (Blu-ray Book) [Blu-ray]

A different movie with omitted scenes put back in. Much darker undertone for main character. Great, funny, stellar acting by F. Murray. Buy it now.

I have shown the original version of this movie many times over the years in my classroom as part of a unit on Mozart and was very familiar with the content of the movie. This newer version contains scenes that were not in the original and I was not aware that scene 16 contains nudity until I showed it to my seventh graders-so beware! By the way, this movie is unrated as there were no ratings for movies at that time-the original does contain some inappropriate language which I explain to my students that the use of this language helps to explain Mozart's behavior.

this is simply my favorite movie, the blu ray looks incredible, directors cut footage is great.
music cd included. what more do you want, just buy it if you like mozart.

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.

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