I am so glad Geoffrey Rush played the role of David Helfgott. I found it very moving, sad, funny, so many...he was brilliant and deserved that award. No one else could have done it other than him. He was sensitive, passionate and brought out David's character so it made you rivoted to the screen. I loved it so much I didn't want the movie to end. I love classical music and the people talented enough to compose and play such works of art. Although, I wish David hadn't experienced his troubles, I appreciate him for the 'true' human being inside and his beautiful heart. He is God's gift in so many ways. Thank you Mr. Helfgott and Mr. Rush for being the true life story and the other; on-screen story=brilliance!!!
I met him some years ago - came over to have a chat in a small town - talked but also muttered confirmations the whole time - one of this world's oddities!
@@guitaroso this is the third time I've heard of someone having met him in a small town & the muttering. Sounds to me like he wasn't really acting in the movie, just turned up and muttered. Oh well, I'm not going to wish bad on the phony.
I saw this movie when I was eleven. I loved every single minute of it and, till these days, it still makes me feel incredibly emotional. Talent is sometimes hidden in the most unexpected people, and I just love that. Jeffrey's performance is something else, another true talent there.
Having watched the film and been quite moved by the performance and story, it's quite emotional to see the subject of the film perform so well, receive adulation and yet bare the scars quite publicly of what still remains of his dark past.
I agree. It never did anyone a damn bit of good; makes patients CRAZIER is what it does, for whatever length of time they have left in their troubled lives.
Although it sounds horrific, electric shock treatment allows a better assimilation of psychotic drugs as it permeates the membrane that blocks the medicine to reach the brain
@Mike Eckert, right and your answer is nothing ? You cant fix an inbalance in the brain with nothing. Why is this stigma still with mental illness medicines. Would you shame a patient with MS, diabetis or a stomach ulcer for using medicine ?
@@ThornyRoseV drugs are NOT always helpful, they are used as a crutch and ARE NOT always the answer. For instance more than half of women 40 and older in America are on at least ONE mental drug. And for YEARS. Are you claiming that half of all 40 year olds in America need mental narcotics? They have an 'imbalance' of some sort???? Really?? I don't think so. There is NO scientific evidence this is the case Exercise, meaning in life, a support system, lack of negative self talk etc.. could fix a vast majority of these cases. I would say 1-5 percent of people really need psychotropic drugs. These drugs shouldn't be freaking played with like we play with them now. Almost a quarter of American boys are on some form of ADHD medicine. Do they really have attention problems? Or is school fucing boring as hell for most 9 yr old boys???? Etc. Etc. Throwing medicine on problems like these is assuming a hammer fixes all repairs. Retarded. If the brain is so precious like you claim, rearranging a healthy one is as sadistic as shock therapy.
I live near David and had the privilege of seeing him perform a few years ago. Ironically, about 10 years or so ago, I saw Geoffrey Rush back in Melbourne. He's a cool dude.
This moves you to tears seeing Tom Cruise, Nicholas Cage, Mel Gibson ( all of whom seem lovely people)and other stars in complete awe and wonder at such musical talent.
There's a - Japanese? - pianist, who is blind. Blind, folks! BLIND! He can't bloody SEE! "Oh, he can't play. I give him a thumb down." People should try playing the piano themselves, and see if they can do it better.
@@Aegisth There's a French pianist who is blind too, and not only could he play, he was actually one of THE best if not THE best in the world in his prime Bernhard D'Ascoli.
Unlike today. Did you hear about the new “diversity” standards? Awful🤦🏻♂️ Look, I’m not against diversity, but only in the context of the story. If you’re making a movie about medieval Europe, you don’t expect to see an African American. If you’re making a survival movie, you don’t expect to see an actor in a wheelchair. They’re literally oppressing the artists that make the movies.
I like viewing and listening to the tune of "flight of the bumble bee" in trumpet, in tuba and trombone...I love the Canadian Brass played it. I love the story of this film, and I was thinking to myself if who wrote the piece-actually it was the tittle of the song I was trying to recall. And it was your comment here that reminded me it was the "flight of the bumble be." Probably because it was played on string instrument that is why I forget. Your comment helps me recall. I love Leslie Dye.
Anyone who's had a handful of years with a good piano teacher can play it. It's little more than a lot of chromatic scales played at a fast speed. It looks and sounds a lot more impressive than it is.
@@NicholasOfAutrecourtyeah try doing it in front of hundreds of people, on a televised event, with a neurological problem and right after you became instantly famous. Anyone can play it? Pff please get real
@@silvia.r.2024 Professional and concert pianists play in front of hundreds of people and in front of cameras all the time. If anything, that would likely make many of them feel more comfortable, not less.
@@NicholasOfAutrecourt that is NOT the circumstance of this particular pianist, and you know it. So it's pointless to compare his ability unless you make the rest of the pianists suffer eleven years of electroshock ;)
@@TheCryptKeeper8 If you knew the Helfgott family you would know Margaret is not a full quid. And she didn’t have ECT. SHINE is pretty accurate, the bath tub scene with Davids father may be guilty of Artistic licence but the reality guarded.
@@MLMLW Oh come on, man is asking you to be specific. You know there are thousands of gods in this world right? Even Hinduism alone has so many varieties of them. So, which particular diety is believed to have delivered this parcel or package or whatever? Must be Hermes, don't you think? I have seen the movie series and read the book series of the Persy Jackson and the Olympians.

Long retort short, ditto!
They have a similar resemblance, a little, and it was portrayed nicely.
I met him some years ago - came over to have a chat in a small town - talked but also muttered confirmations the whole time - one of this world's oddities!
"rivoted to the screen" - that means what exactly? Is that like "gluud to being thrilled", or "exited to my nails"?

I saw the movie today in quarantine for tenth time. I cried like always. Love you David, for the human being that you are. Thank you for exist.
They really nailed his look in the film.
It's a great movie
They sure did! What a great movie!

Brilliantly played and brilliantly played. 👏 👏
all i can say is look at the joy and surprise on James Woods face. he was happy and very surprised to see David there, I personally like that
ashdhuk It's Geoffrey Rush. But yeah, the joy is delightful.
They show both of them.....Geoffrey Rush is smiling and applauding, but James Woods looks way more excited than he does.
He had the gift of imagination and play with all the suffering he went through in his life and his health !! Legend
painfully beautiful
In the film "Shine" his play was wonderful、I felt some quake of my Heart!
I have waited decades to review this moment. Man...finaly i found the vídeo
Just saw this!!!! My heart is pounding!!!! Well done!!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

I can see Mel Gibson having other kind of thoughts entirely, knowing him as we do.
I don't know if it's just me but I couldn't stop thinking about the Puffy Shirt episode of Seinfeld when watching this clip.

Painful yet beautiful story! I just love the movie and David’s interpretation. Magnificent!
“If You Can Play Something Slowly, You Can Play It Quickly.”
2:46 the way he applauds with total admiration. captivates me
God Speed with u, thx for all your passion!!
Why thumbs down - give me a break - so what if it’s not perfect technically - it would be if had not endured his health probs and childhood

I remember watching that Oscars show on TV. This was the only thing that I remember.
I remember this particulary moment since then. Shine was probably the movie that marked me the most
I watched him live on stage here in Denmark many years ago. A weird creature but very kind person with a lovely smile.
Liar.
Shine is amazing 👏
Una creatura meravigliosa!!❤
He looks so pure.
He is amazing ❤
Wonderful♥Wonderful
Thank you
one word:awesome
Hermoso!!!!,lo amo!!,
Thank you
Que ser tan extraordinario y maravilloso... Bravo...!

Axtraordinary ,love it

merci, Genial !

BEAUTIFUL.¨!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's the face Nicolas Cages makes when he knows he has been out-crazied.
Minutes later he jumped on his seat and started yelling YEAH BABY!
The difference is David actually has talent.
Convenient they showed the three crazies in a row. Mel Gibson, Nic Cage, and Tom Cruise.
Wow!
Film gigantesco!!! Helfgot e Rush due miti.
Grande!
He's a gift of God!!!
感動
Godfrey rush realy is amazing actor ..portrayed David helfgot perfectly in movie shine....
Amazing flight of the bumblebee
Muito bom
Must warch the movie
Great
Best film ever
If you like Silverchair, he plays the piano in ‘Emotion sickness’
Well done
Bravo👏👏👏👏👏
Im here because I read the book of Robert Mckee Story,substance and structure and I have to say, what a ride

The shards of a crystal still give rainbows to the world.
Tom Cruise, Mel Gibson, James Woods. Three people we now know are crazier than David Helfgott. Is life too weird or what...
In their heads they are thinking: Tom Cruise: "He needs an audit", James Woods: "I wonder if he has a daughter", Mel Gibson: "He's a Jew".
They are thinking?
You can add Nicolas Cage to that list
Never sign a long contract with Disney you may get Eddie Murphy syndrome
Nicholas Cage is in a whole other league of crazy. The RC Psych had to rewrite the definition of "crazy" thanks to Cage.
Isso foi foda
Next time I see a homeless person talking to him/herself, I'll try to remember this.

If you didn't know his past, and what he endured, this would be a pretty average performance. Props to Helfgott for pushing through it all.
