There are several types of bad guys..
F. Murray Abraham as Antonio Salieri in Milos Forman's masterpiece... is the kind of bad guy that everybody hates...
Envious, obsessed with revenge, coward, ugly ...
And that is contrasted with Mozart, represented as the maximum expression of everything that's good.. talented, happy, and naive.
well now... guess who got the Oscar ?
Below the video which I am helpless to avoid getting shivers on my spine.
Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen ("Hell's vengeance boils in my heart")
(From wikipedia)
Words were written by Mozart's friend Emanuel Schikaneder, who also played Papageno in the first performances of Die Zauberflöte
Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen,
Tod und Verzweiflung flammet um mich her!
Fühlt nicht durch dich Sarastro Todesschmerzen,
So bist du meine Tochter nimmermehr.
Verstossen sei auf ewig,
Verlassen sei auf ewig,
Zertrümmert sei'n auf ewig
Alle Bande der Natur
Wenn nicht durch dich Sarastro wird erblassen!
Hört, Rachegötter, hört der Mutter Schwur!
Hell's vengeance boils in my heart;
Death and despair blaze around me!
If Sarastro does not feel the pain of death because of you,
Then you will be my daughter nevermore.
Disowned be forever,
Forsaken be forever,
Shattered be forever
All the bonds of nature
If Sarastro does not turn pale [in death] because of you!
Hear, gods of vengeance, hear the mother's oath!
