Whenever someone asks about movie scenes,  this is always the first that comes to mind for me.

YouTube didn't have the entire scene.....pity.

Amadeus.

Salieri (F. Murray Abraham) is confessing to a young priest throughout the movie, having tried to commit suicide for having "killed Mozart".   the priest is attentive as Salieri tells of his "chastity, industry and his deepest humility" so that God would make him a great composer. But alas, along comes a boastful, smutty, infantile, narcissistic Mozart....

having lost his faith, Salieri takes the crucifix from the wall, and throws it in the fireplace.
as it burns he says to God,

"We are enemies.......you and I"
he goes on to say that God is "unfair, unkind" that God took his faith, and devotion and gave everything he prayed for to Mozart. He swears to block, hinder, harm "Gods "incarnation...as far as I am able."

As Salieri tells of his blasphemy, following Mozarts death, The priests posture is one of a man defeated... His head is down, his crucifix barely hanging between his hands.....

Salieri looks and him....then LAUGHS.
