Geoffrey Rush is one of the most underrated actors in movie history. Fortunately, he won an Oscar for this performance...and he has other stellar performances like this one.
Everyone today is "underrated." The new complement du jur rather than simply saying he's a good actor. I understand the Grand Canyon is underrated as a hole in the ground...
The Peter Sellers biopic he did was amazing. It was a made for TV movie. If they had the foresight to put it in half a dozen cinemas he would have walked the Oscar.
Nicely constructed scene. The first thing I thought was he would never have gotten away with smoking in a restaurant. Then the manager/owner lights up. Sign of the times. How quickly we forget.
@@wibblewobblewellies No I had to sell my piano some years ago unfortunatly while moving between cities. Never got the space or the money for a new one. Perhaps some time in the future there will be a piano waiting for me again.
@@markt3720 Geoffrey Rush had once learned the piano up until aged fourteen. He took up piano lessons again thirty years later for this movie and also acted as his own hand double and body double. its a known trivia piece
@@markt3720 dude you just bursted the illusion i had :( you mean to tell me the whole flight of the bumblebee scene in the pub was simon and not rush ?
@@TheBarbahaba Actually, it was no illusion :) Geoffrey played the piano by himself and Simon played the piano scenes of when David was a teen\young adult
I love this movie and this scene had me in tears. Both Noah Taylor (very underrated and unspoken of) and Geoffrey Rush did an amazing job in this movie.
1/2 century ago I use to be able to play it this good on a violin and loved every second of it. Out of everything our orchestra played, this was always my favorite music. Now I'm so old I'd never be able to do it again, but I think at least I would be able to hold the violin correctly.
David Helfgott just played in Izmir tonight and he was such a pleasure to be around. Geoffrey Rush couldn't have acted better, David is exactly the sweetie pie you see at the movie. He runs around kissing everyone during the applouse, sings along while he plays (sings a totally different tune though), he's such a lovely man.
Always loved Rush's performance in this film, he was really great BUT I was always even more impressed by Noah Taylor playing Helfgott in his teens, he's such an underappreciated actor. Excellent in Game of Thrones!
I had the great pleasure of hearing Helfgott play live at a small country town recital in Merredin decades ago. Humble and talented. I also hate Flight of the Bumblebee. Took me three years to master it, my right hand ached after finally getting it right, played it once for a concert, then never played it again. Ever.
Baka Shiina Because it's technically a pain in the arse to perform well, my fingers aren't fast enough, and I don't even really like it that much. My parents did though, so I learned it for them. Much prefer the third movement of the Moonlight Sonata myself. Also difficult, but I just like it better over all.
I consider this to be one of the best scenes in film not to mention one of the greatest films of all time, no matter how many times I watch it. Pure Karma shown in all it's glory. Rush was outstanding here and deserved the Oscar for leading actor that year. He absolutely nailed Helfgott's mannerisms.
@@CaptainReedo40I still feel we were lucky to have him in “Pirates”, but that the series was Rush’s reward to enjoy. “ARRR!!!” as he charged Depp … I mean, seriously, that looked like so much fun!
When this film came out in 1996, I took my future wife to see it. She went to buy some drinks and I quickly bought the tickets. We settled down to watch and after few minutes, and a couple of grisly murders, I turned to her and said, 'Where's the piano?' It turned out that I'd bought tickets for Scream and not Shine. An easy mistake to make.
Shine was a crushing victory for all those musicians who lived similar tortured lives.... but remained obscure. Rush was clearly the winner that year for BA.
There are not 5 actors today with the range of Rush, truly one of our finest actors I loved him in Elizabeth, he was fiendishly good there. Here he made me very sad, how could a father snuff out the genius of his child. Or attempt to. Great performances all around in this very good movie.
Not just the father,,, the real story was the Electric Shock Therapy and medications on top of 130 cigarettes per day, 30 cups of coffee per day, alcohol and cigars fed to David by the Doctor who owned the Wine Bar.
Geoffrey Rush is an absolutely brilliant actor, one of the best on the planet. That said I thought Noah Taylor's performance was grossly underrated and a more difficult role than Rush. He was the portrait of the artist and had to create an arc, especially when it came to his relationship with his father. It was a more nuanced performance but truly first class and he deserves far more recognition.
Geoffrey Rush is such a Versatile Actor. From Helfgott to the Boss of Mossad in Munich to a Pirate in Pirates of the Caribbean. One of the best actors to come from Australia.😊🇦🇺
I had not heard of this movie before I watched this clip. After which I promptly watched entire movie. What an absolutely brilliant film. Geoffrey Rush did an outstanding job.
Geoffrey Rush resumed piano lessons for the movie because he was suspended from piano school when he was 14... in order not to require a hand double... this men is awesome :D
So many music teachers today shy away from teaching kids scales. "Flight of the Bumblebee" is full of chromatic scales. Kids can't grasp basic music concepts and structure without a basic knowledge of how music works. Teaching a kid music without the basics is like teaching someone to write a novel before they can spell properly.
@@savedbyjesusblood I don't know dick about theory, and I've wrote and recorded fuck loads of songs. Theory and scales aren't everything. But it definitely can help
The guy who realises he has been a prat is excellent in this scene too. Really helps to make the scene. Such a wonderful scene. I always want to join the party at the end. I can play Flight of the Bumble Bee on piano but only at 80% speed! I bet the ‘prat’ guy’s lovely in real life!
It's a great scene. Everyone else is captivated and delighted by this unexpected surprise. But Sam can't share in their enthusiasm. He looks around in dismay. How can this dishevelled mess of a man be drawing such rapt attention and respect?! It's so well done.
I still remember seeing this for the first time. I got chills when he goes right into playing after being heckled. And then looks back at 1:13 like 'I don't hear you laughing now b****' lol
I'm amazed. I remember when I was teenager ,I had seen this movie .Now I play piano and wanted to make sure, that actor was really playing this bumble one or not. I thought this was played by pro pianist. But now I knew he was playing for himself and how difficult this was !
David Helfgott recorded this, Geoffrey Rush synched the hand movements but was not playing. Movies are made piece by piece then edited together in the studio.
@@josephhapp9 at 1:19 there’s no edit and it REALLY looks like he’s actually playing. I know he studied for the film so they wouldn’t need a hand double for sure. But if that was fake piano playing on Rush’s part that’s the best faking I’ve ever seen.
I remembering crying my eyes out while watching this film for the first time on a plane to Mexico City, back in August 1997. Certain scenes are simply heartrending.
It's about time some producer somewhere in the world had the guts to give Geoffrey Rush a job, one of the world's very greatest acting talents wasting...
I remember watching this with my mum as a teen. We loved it and bonded so well that day. That was more than 30 years ago & I remember it like yesterday.
This is one of my MOST FAVORITE video clips on RUclips. Sign That Man Up! Did you see how everyone... EVERYONE (including the heckler) in that bistro seemed to be mesmerized by this man's honest talent.
Geoffrey Ruh really can and did play Rimsky-Korsikoff's "Flight of the Bumblebee", from memory, at that speed. What an intellectual achievement that was !
parte de la película "Shine" una de mis preferidas, aquí es cuando una vieja amiga decide apoyarle dándole una oportunidad de tocar el piano en su pequeño restaurant, cuando el toca unas cuantas notas alguien del publico lo "invita" con tono altanero a dejar el piano y es cuando sorprende a lo comensales con esta ejecución..magistral. Al final de la película él halla el amor de su vida de manera circunstancial y es quien reactiva su carrera, apoyándole en todo.
21 years ago, when this first came out; it was my first exposure to the Rack 3...I had heard some things by Rachmaninoff and I knew what an amazing pianist he was but...This movie gave me a thirst for more Rachmaninoff...The Rack 3 haunts me; It's power is sublime!
Me too. Favorite concerto from anyone. Absolutely gorgeous. I was shocked I had missed that piece, having been classically trained as a kid and a fan of everyone from Wolfgang to Stravinsky.
One of the greatest scenes of cinema history. A bum - sneering and ''throw him out' - and suddenly 'Flight of the Bumblebee' played with cigarette. I especially love Sylvia played by Sonia Todd who encourages him and whose surprise is palpable.
Shine nos habla de la vida de David Helfgott y cómo se vio marcado por su historia familiar y la obsesión por la música. Puede que esta escena no sea la más representativa, pero sí nos da una idea de en qué se convirtieron gran parte de sus años adultos tras sufrir un colapso nervioso.
Need to buy this film, I love the story for all its tragic humor, but it's rare that a movie about a pianist has somebody who can fake the hand motions well enough to fit what they're supposed to be playing. Rush is superb.
+lygophile If you look closely, you can actually see that he is kinda faking it or maybe failing a bit sometimes. It's originally played by the real David Helfgott and added on to the footage. But i read in the trivia of the film at IMDB that Geoffrey Rush actually had to learn this piece to play this role in the movie, so he is kinda playing it the right way still
If I remember correctly according to the director's comments, the music you here isn't Rush playing BUT he did learn the fingering to a "T" so he could appear as if he was playing without splicing someone else's hands in. That, in itself, is amazing!
I think Geoffrey is pretty good on piano and his fingers are definitely in the right place.I can play this piece but not up to speed. In the opening downward run, however, the first note of every 16 should be with the left hand not the right hand. Geoffrey does the lot with the right hand which I thought was interesting! Pretty impressive hand synch though!
Shine è un film meraviglioso, commovente, splendido! Recitato magistralmente dal protagonista, Geoffrey Rush, fa' ridere, fa' pensare, fa' piangere, pensando alla triste vita a cui è stato costretto il povero David, un ragazzo pieno di talento e fragile, troppo fragile x fronteggiare quell'orribile padre! 😠😑😔... È difficile guardare questo film senza commuoversi... 😢😢
Interesting and simple aspect that this movie showed us. That is, that we tend to judge people based on their appearance first and not their character and talent. We fail to get to know people before we pass judgement about them. It continues to this day and maybe even worse now then it ever was.
See how they go from deriding him and treating him like dirt to accepting him once they know he has talent (apart from the kind lady). How I loathe fair-weather 'friends'!
That's the sad part of it all. Happens all the time to these unique humans. Mozarts are born every day but only one or two every generation make it to a piano never mind an audience.
The most incredible thing is not the playing itself but the fact that the piano in a cafe is perfectly tuned😂
Lol, so true!
considering it's a cafe full of posh folk, it's quite believable
Hagq, tht wht i was thinking too. No piqno is ever tuned tht good. Esp around ppl tht arent necessadily music savvy. ( excuse my grammar in spelling) tysm❤

That's putting it mildly. If you're extremely talented, you could probably nail it in a fortnight. I'm not that talented.

brilliant film ! A performance about a talented musician who has paid a price for his art in modern society! David Helgott is a genius to the world.
For his art? Classically able musicians can usually find somewhere to play.
I don't care about who you are or what you do, if you can play Flight Of The Bumblebee on any instrument then I have nothing but respect for you

Still my favorite scene in the movie. It has a great silent energy about it b/c the people in the bar are transfixed on his playing.

I can't stop smiling when I watch this 😁
Jean I too cried my eyes out on a plane fro L.A. to London. In fact every time I watch this movie I find something new in it to cry for
This is my favorite movie of all, Rush played Helfgott to the tee
Need to buy this film, I love the story for all its tragic humor, but it's rare that a movie about a pianist has somebody who can fake the hand motions well enough to fit what they're supposed to be playing. Rush is superb.
+lygophile If you look closely, you can actually see that he is kinda faking it or maybe failing a bit sometimes. It's originally played by the real David Helfgott and added on to the footage. But i read in the trivia of the film at IMDB that Geoffrey Rush actually had to learn this piece to play this role in the movie, so he is kinda playing it the right way still
+lygophile Not true, at all. He's miming it.
@lygophile Geoffrey Rush finger synchs the piano part.
David Helfgott recorded the soundtrack music.
Happened to be thinking of this movie just the other day, and here this scene pops up on my page!
Bravo Geoffrey Rush, a wonderful performance. And Chris Heywood, I wish we could see more of him.
Greatest underrated person's Revenge scene EVER!
Thanks for the video 🙌🏻
The most music I've ever heard stuffed into 69 seconds.
Greatest film ever made x
If I remember correctly according to the director's comments, the music you here isn't Rush playing BUT he did learn the fingering to a "T" so he could appear as if he was playing without splicing someone else's hands in. That, in itself, is amazing!
David Helfgott recorded for soundtrack,,,Geoffrey Rush finger synched for the cameras and acted/voiced David perfectly.
@@josephhapp9 The playing looked fine, but his looking back at people seemed a bit odd to me.
I think Geoffrey is pretty good on piano and his fingers are definitely in the right place.I can play this piece but not up to speed. In the opening downward run, however, the first note of every 16 should be with the left hand not the right hand. Geoffrey does the lot with the right hand which I thought was interesting! Pretty impressive hand synch though!
Shine è un film meraviglioso, commovente, splendido! Recitato magistralmente dal protagonista, Geoffrey Rush, fa' ridere, fa' pensare, fa' piangere, pensando alla triste vita a cui è stato costretto il povero David, un ragazzo pieno di talento e fragile, troppo fragile x fronteggiare quell'orribile padre! 😠😑😔... È difficile guardare questo film senza commuoversi... 😢😢
Remember the guy who you called lame in middle school
haha precisely.
I remember that guy. I put him in a wheel chair for molesting my younger cuz. Is that you?
Now they just shoot people. Should give them free piano lessons
Interesting and simple aspect that this movie showed us. That is, that we tend to judge people based on their appearance first and not their character and talent. We fail to get to know people before we pass judgement about them. It continues to this day and maybe even worse now then it ever was.
One of the great scenes of Australian cinema
I saw this movie with one of the best human beings I have ever met. Miss you.
See how they go from deriding him and treating him like dirt to accepting him once they know he has talent (apart from the kind lady). How I loathe fair-weather 'friends'!
That's the sad part of it all. Happens all the time to these unique humans. Mozarts are born every day but only one or two every generation make it to a piano never mind an audience.
Honestly I wasn't shocked to learn that Geoffrey Rush re-learned how to play the piano so he could do this scene without faking it.
Sempre me emociona essa fantástica cena
"The 'Flight of the Bumblebee' is the single greatest piece of music ever written that captures the true majesty of nature's perfect chaos."
