[QUOTE="II_Seraphim_II"] I agree 100%. She was a freaking psychopath :xsammyjenkis898
****. I hated her..
I wish what you said in the spoiler had happened. :x
You can watch The Cook, the thief, his wife, and her lover on youtube:PFilm-GuyI am against to watching films on youtube, and for the most part on the computer. The only film I watched on youtube was The Crowd, it was a masterpiece but I had no other choice. :P
LMAO yes, she has to be the single most annoying character ever. She seems to always play annoying/needy little girls. Not to mention the fact that the movie sucked...
How can I forget little rachel from war of the worlds? Her screaming through the movie probably made her the most annoying character I've ever seen....

I hated her. Id love to have thrown her out of the store and watched her die.
I actually kinda felt bad for Antonio Salieri. The guy works hard for his whole life yet he's upstaged by some immature kid...it would be hard NOT to be jealous. JML897I know what you mean. But there were times where I thought he was being too cruel and spiteful. An example would be when Mozart's wife visited him.
Antonio Salieri mo0ksiThis is a character I feel I should hate, but don't, despite his efforts to try and sabotage Mozart's life. I feel he is a deeply tragic figure haunted by his own mediocrity, and for this I feel sympathy for him not hate. He is blinded by his envy for, what he genuinely believes, is Mozart's God given talent, a talent that he is adamant God has abandoned him in this sense. I found this quote which I feel is very apt when concerning Salieri:
Couple this with Salieri feeling God has abandoned him in favour of someone else, and it is likely that it will push over the edge even the most humble of men.

In "Amadeus" I actually kinda liked Salieri more than Mozart.I think it's because we connect to Salieri more than we do Mozart, for we are mediocrities :P It's a shame Salieri (in the film) couldn't get past his envy, as he was one of the only people who truly admired Mozart's music for the greatness that it was. If he sincerely believed that Mozart was the instrument of God, then to be one of the only people that could hear the voice of God is a gift in itself. But Salieri, not content with just being able to hear it, also wanted to BE the instrument. It always struck me that whilst Salieri did want to lavish praise to God with music, he aslo expected to be adored and remembered for it. It wasn't just a case of being able to write heavenly music but also to validate his own life, and with Mozart he felt his self-worth slowly fading. Not to mention that he had no wife, children or even true friends (again, in the film, he was married in real life); the only way that he could be sure that people would remember him is through his music, and as evidenced by the last scene his music was no longer being played, and thus his life, to his eyes, was worth nothing. It's heartbreaking to be fair.SaintLeonidas

It's heartbreaking to be fair. I agree, I could understand where he was coming from most of the time, especially when you look at how he viewed Mozarts talents compared to the way he acted and carried himself. I found it hard to really like either of them, but as you said we "connect" more to Salieri....all this talk makes me want to go home and finally watch the extended cut on blu-ray, had it for over a few months and still have not watched it.[QUOTE="SaintLeonidas"] In "Amadeus" I actually kinda liked Salieri more than Mozart.

all this talk makes me want to go home and finally watch the extended cut on blu-ray, had it for over a few months and still have not watched it.I've actually never seen the theatrical version. I have seen the phrase "too many notes" being thrown about when discussing the director's cut, so perhaps you had the better viewing experience than if you had watched the director's cut first, I don't really know. I've never felt the director's cut was overly long, or had unnecessary scenes, and I've watched this film many times. I have read the scenes that were added, and none, I feel, take away from the viewing experience at all.SaintLeonidas

I'm not really sure if I hate this guy or if I love him. He's scum, but he's also a great character to watch.

I still haven't seen it yet, I have it lying right on my coffee table all warped up just saying "Watch me, damnit!"

For me it was either Percy from Green Mile
or Combo from This Is England...

I thought Stephen Graham was fantastic as Combo. That kid Thomas Turgoose was great too. I still think that Dead Man's shoes is Shane Meadow's best film.
Don't get me wrong, I thought Stephen Graham played his part fantastically, it's one of my favorite performances. But it's hard to love a character like that who preys on the innocent and incites hatred.
