Movie Reviews of Shine
Movie Review: Triumph of the Soul, Triumph of the Cinema
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the greatest stories of overcoming obstacles, Shine is the pinnacle example of good old-fashioned tenacity and persistence in a world that stigmatizes the emotionally needy. Based on the life of Australian Piano virtuoso David Helfgott, the film takes us on a journey of anger, relationships, triumph and forgiveness from beginning to end. After a growing up with an abusive father and suffering a nervous breakdown, Helfgott faces the struggle having been in and out of institutions for the greater part of his life. Trying to piece his life back together he rediscovers his talent and begins to realize the fact he has just as much right to be happy and successful as anybody else. The storyline and director keep the audience open-eyed until the very last moment where we are allowed to witness the subtle but unmistakable climax. Geoffrey Rush, who portrays the role of Helfgott during his adult life, performed all music as seen (no hand doubles) and heard in this exceptional story of the human spirit's capacity to overcome.Movie Review: the worst father in human history
Summary: 5 Stars
if this movie was based on a true story, then the father was the worst father ever existed on the earth. self-centered, self-righteous, self-important selfish monster, ruined his genius son with an excuse of his ultimate love. how could he call himself a music lover? a piano concerto extremist? this kinda father should be locked up for life. he was a tyrant at home, but a wimp once stepped outside his residence. a selfish, stubborn and disturbing soul who forced his own demon on his son and the whole family, with an excuse of 'who's your daddy? who loves you most?' my god, if the son got a normal father, he would have become even a greater, even the greatest pianist in the world. the movie itself is not important, but it's important for all the fathers in the world to take a serious look and then take a look of himself after watching this movie. don't you ever become one like this father, a demon hidden behind a big excuse of love.Movie Review: Powerful, and stunning
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is just stunning, I've never seen a movie that has so much power, so much enthusiasm, and so much drama all at the same time. I'd recommend this movie to anyone! It's the best movie I've ever seen, I instanly went out and got the sound track!The music in this film is just outstanding, and it will make you want to go and learn to play the piano.
Everyone in this film does an excellent job. This movie just draws you into it. I'm a man who has always liked the scary movies, and also the funny ones, never drama. But this movie just blew me away with it's joy of the human spirit. My heart still races when I hear the beautiful music of the film. Great job to everyone.
I'd really like to know more about this main character as far as what's he doing now, and did he play any part in the making of the film. This is just a tremendous movie!
Movie Review: Reminds me of the old days
Summary: 5 Stars
What can I tell ya, when I was just 8 years old I can remember sitting next to a piano with my father, who wasn't as insane as the one in the movie, but was enough problematic to make me remember that unpleasant experience. This movie is amazing, the plot is excellent, and the actors are wonderful, not one phony moment, but a well written script that makes you shed a tear at the end of it. You have the same feeling like in Rocky movies every time you see david appear in a concert - it makes you feel the experience he is going through. Excellent performance by the actors I must add... If you have it already, it can be an excellent gift to any music teacher you know, or anyone who's into playing Piano or any other instrument. Buy it, you won't regret it, trust me.Movie Review: Incredible Actor Performance !! Wonderful Film !
Summary: 5 Stars
Even now, after seeing "The Pianist" from Polansky, I think that SHINE is equally or even a more "brilliant" film, let's say... And in fact the main Shine Actor role demands such an interpretation that we don't see in "The Pianist", which actor almost look the world on a passive way... Shine, on the other hand, is an amazing film, it's actor seems to really incorporate and love the character !! Shine exuberates in love for life in such a way that it literally extracts tears from our eyes.Perhaps if the "The pianist" actor would be that one of Shine, the result could be better.
In a phrase: Shine is one of the best all time movies. Get it!
