Movie Reviews of Shine
Movie Review: Excellent Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
The DVD version is one disc only. The only special features it has is questions for the director Scott Hicks and Rushes acceptance speech. You will need to turn over the movie to view the features. Besides that, this is an excellent movie about the real life story of Helgott- a musician who struggles with his art and with himself. Many would say this movie is about madness but to be honest with this movie is about acceptance and how not everyone loses their abilities after a set-back. I would recommend this movie for all musicians.Movie Review: All-time sleeper of a movie.
Summary: 5 Stars
A film so good that even though the leading man only appears in a half-hour or so of the film, he wins about every award known to film actors. The rest of the film didn't do so bad either. There is some hyperbole, the "Rach 3" isn't unplayable, but everything fits to get the various points across. I think what impresses me most is the overall quality of the production and acting. Not a comedy, not a psycho-drama but a rather joyful one hanky view of someone's rather screwed up life. Lots of good music too.Movie Review: GREAT MOVIE
Summary: 5 Stars
All I can say is, everything you want in a dramtic film is here. The realism of overcoming harsh abuse by an over protective father and the quest to play Rachmaninoff's Concerto No.3 lends itself to a first class dramatic piece of work.The music is excellent and I can't say enough about Geoffrey Rush's performance as the true David Helfgott is unforgettable.Movie Review: Shine
Summary: 5 Stars
Involving, stunningly executed feature benefits from a smart, knowing script and an astonishing, Oscar winning performance by Rush as the adult David. (Noah Taylor also excels playing Helfgott as an adolescent). Mueller-Stahl makes your skin crawl as the haunted father. An often harrowing tale that ends on an uplifting, inspirational note.Movie Review: Shine shines (original, eh?)
Summary: 5 Stars
Shine is a masterpiece, showing with great integrity and courage the journey of renown pianist David Helfgott. His courage is captured brilliantly both by actors Noah Taylor and by Geoffrey Rush. I recommend this film to anyone who likes great drama or especially anyone who loves classical / romantic piano music.
