History Funny / Amadeus

''(Salieri, Kappelmeister Bono and Orsini-Rosenberg laugh)''\\

''(Kappelmeister Bono giggles nervously until Orsini-Rosenberg shoots him a [[DeathGlare withering look]])''

* The scene where the Emperor attends the Marriage of Figaro rehearsal and the OhCrap expression building on his face when he is gradually explained and reminded that he himself prohibited ballet in Mozart's opera.
* The smooth transition from a dejected Mozart being scolded by his mother-in-law, to him staring at her as if struck by inspiration, to the premiere of ''Theatre/TheMagicFlute'', becomes extremely funny when you realise that the character is the Queen of the Night — the opera's villain — and she is performing her '''rage aria''' "Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen" (Hell's vengeance boils in my heart"). In reality Cäcilia and Wolfgang grew quite fond of each other. (Also in reality, the soprano performing the aria at the premiere performance would historically be [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josepha_Weber Josepha Hofer]], Mozart's sister-in-law and Cäcilia's eldest daughter.)

* When Salieri plays ''Un Kleine Nachtmuzik'' for the priest, he does it barebones, like playing on a toy piano. Still, the priest instantly recognizes it.

* As Salieri recounts his diabolical plot to trick Mozart into writing his own requiem and then play it his funeral as if it were his own, the music [[ThemeMusicPowerUp flares triumphantly]] and [[SuddenSoundtrackStop abruptly stops]] when he notes there's [[MissingStepsPlan one crucial step]] he didn't account for:

-->'''Salieri:''' ''([[SarcasmMode sarcastically]])'' Oh love! Well of course, In Italy, we know ''nothing'' about love!\\

--> "I'm a famous horseman!"
--> "And we're a famous horse!"

--> '''Salieri:''' ''([[SarcasmMode sarcastically]])'' Oh love! Well of course, In Italy, we know ''nothing'' about love!
--> ''(Salieri, Kappelmeister Bono and Orsini-Rosenberg laugh)''
--> '''Mozart:''' ''(Completely serious look on his face)'' No, I don't think you do. I mean, watching Italian [[{{Main/Opera}} opera]] -- all those male sopranos [[VocalRangeExceeded screeching]], stupid [[FatBastard fat couples]] rolling their eyes around. That's not love, it's just just just just ... rubbish!
--> ''(Kappelmeister Bono giggles nervously until Orsini-Rosenberg shoots him a [[DeathGlare withering look]])''

--> '''Mozart:''' Here, everything goes backwards. People walk backwards, dance backwards, sing backwards, and even talk backwards.
--> '''Constanze:''' That's stupid.
--> '''Mozart:''' Why? People [[ToiletHumour fart backwards]]?
--> '''Constanze:''' Oh [[SarcasmMode haw haw haw]].
--> '''Mozart:''' ''(Crazy high-pitched laugh)''

* When Salieri is first trying to find Mozart, he notices some waiters passing by with some chocolates, and immediately abandons his search for Mozart, and follows them with a perfect "[[NotSoAboveItall Oh, I'm getting me some of that]]" face.

In reality Cäcilia and Wolfgang grew quite fond of each other.

* The [[SanitySlippage little dance and the raspberry]] that Mozart blows at the portrait of his father, accompanied by the silly-sounding music that is the ''TheMagicFlute'' Overture.

* The parody of ''The Magic Flute'', complete with a dove flying right out a horse's ass.
