Shine A Film Review by James Berardinelli Australia, 1996 U.S. Release Date: 11/22/96 (limited) Running Length: 1:45 MPAA Classification: PG-13 (Mature themes, brief nudity) Theatrical Aspect Ratio: 1.85:1 Cast: Geoffrey Rush, Armin Mueller-Stahl, Noah Taylor, Lynn Redgrave, Googie Withers, John Gielgud, Sonia Todd, Alex Rafalowicz, Nicholas Bell Director: Scott Hicks Producer: Jane Scott Screenplay: Jan Sardi based on a story by Scott Hicks Cinematography: Geoffrey Simpson Music: David Hirschfelder; piano played by David Helfgott U.S. Distributor: Fine Line Features Shine is a deceptively simple title for an amazingly powerful motion picture. Based on the life story of Australian pianist David Helfgott, director Scott Hicks' ( Sebastian and the Sparrow ) film touches on themes as diverse as the nature of genius, the triumph over adversity, and the destructive power of love. And, while there are few obvious similarities between this film and My Left Foot , there is an undeniable kinship, if only in the way both portray the extreme courage of an individual.

44. Entertainment Watch: Helfgott Shines, Argentina Cries - TV And Movie Reviews - M Based on the true story of pianist david helfgott, this Scott Hicksdirected movieis about the havoc caused by an ambitious parent, a father who loves too much http://www.americancatholic.org/Messenger/Mar1997/Entertainment_Watch.asp

by James Arnold Helfgott Shines, Argentina Cries Shine Evita Watching People Party The Crucible Michael Six O'Clock News Evita stars Madonna as the charismatic and ambitious Eva Perón crying out to the people of Argentina, with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice. SHINE (A-3, PG-13): Compassion for disabled or afflicted people has become a major characteristic of important movies. Shine , an Australian film that swept almost every conceivable award in its homeland, is the latest to emulate such films as My Left Foot and Rain Man Piano Concerto No. 3 Based on the true story of pianist David Helfgott, this Scott Hicks-directed movie is about the havoc caused by an ambitious parent, a father who loves too much. (This classic character is especially familiar in today's competitive mass-media world of big-time sports and performing arts.) The father (played with low-key intensity and insight by Armin Mueller-Stahl) is the ultimate stage parent. But it's not greed that motivates him. He's possessive. As an immigrant who is scarred by his own childhood and Holocaust trauma, he's afflicted by his wariness and distrust of the world. When teenager David breaks away to accept a scholarship in London, his father disowns him. David suffers a breakdown (a terrific sequence) almost at the exact moment when all his hard work and training are about to pay off in musical competition.

Shine Pianist op een trampoline Shine shine shine shine shine - het affiche herhaalt de filmtitel, naast een man die een gat in de lucht springt. Eronder staat: 'because there's light at the end of the tunnel'. Door deze marketingstrategie wordt de kijker voorbereid op een fijne feelgood-movie. De film zelf straalt die glans van gelukzaligheid heel wat minder uit. Het eerste stuk op de soundtrack van Shine is getiteld 'With the Help of God, Shine'. Het is een verwijzing naar de naam van de hoofdpersoon in deze geschiedenis: de concertpianist David Helfgott. Bovendien geeft het aan dat Helfgott niet zomaar kon schitteren. De film vertelt een waargebeurd verhaal. Zo'n jaar of tien geleden woonde de Australische regisseur Scott Hicks een recital bij van David Helfgott, het muziekgenie dat eindelijk gelukkig was omdat hij weer kon spelen. Hicks wilde zijn leven verfilmen. Volgens de filmmaker bevatte dat leven zoveel drama, dat hij het "op nuchtere Australische wijze" zo ingehouden mogelijk in de vertelling heeft verwerkt. Ziehier een interessant vraagstuk: moet een filmbiografie alle gebeurtenissen uit het leven van de protagonist exact volgen - helemaal als die persoon nog leeft? Mag zo'n 'biopic' psychologische interpretaties opvoeren om de film meeslepender te maken?

Pre-Order "Ghost Ship" - $22.56 Shine (1996) Synopsis: A man in his forties, David, stumbles into a wine bar after getting lost one night in driving rain. Although he is wildly eccentric, David charms the bar's owner who, impressed with his brilliant skills as a pianist, gives him a regular job playing at her bar. David's impromptu performance is, in fact, the first time he has been at a piano after more than a decade of obscurity. Inspired by this, he is transported back to his childhood in which everything seemed to revolve around the piano. Based on the ultimately triumphant life of classical pianist David Helfgott, "Shine" focuses on Helfgott's painful retreat into a private world while still in his early 20's and on the brink of a glittering international career. Spanning the 1950's to the 1980's, "Shine" dramatizes the deeply moving way in which Helfgott, after a decade of obscurity, achieves both personal and professional fulfillment through the love and support of a remarkable woman.

David Helfgott Shines me by Rowland Barkley David Helfgott performs tangibly with so ul, caressing the keys, touching the emotional fabric of the universe while he plays, creating much more than sound. He accesses something Divine and something human, linking them in a flow through sound. In keeping with his own enigmatic depth, his grand piano sits on a grand piano shaped stage in his lounge room, situated in Promised Land, Australia. He recently (February 1997) sat at the piano with me muttering: "It's all image, all image, if one image doesn't work, try another image and pianist is the image." My experience was as if he, as someone small and weak, caressing the keys lightly and seductively, was constructing an image as a focusing system. Then this enormous Divine power flooded through him, striking me with a blissful artistic shock that can never be put to sleep, but possibly can be tamed by artistic expression. Is there a Deep Self in the belly in each of us with the power and wisdom to shine inexplicably and powerfully beyond the cognitive self of the head? Is that what great artists are here to stir within us? David is fortunate that his upbringing encoded motivation for his whole range of power to come through, with performing and excelling

60. The Michigan Daily Online By Kelly Xintaris Daily TV / New Media Editor Shine is an Australian importbased on the life of classical pianist david helfgott, a man blessed with http://www.pub.umich.edu/daily/1997/jan/01-22-97/arts/arts4.html

True story shines on screen By Kelly Xintaris Daily TV / New Media Editor "Shine" is an Australian import based on the life of classical pianist David Helfgott, a man blessed with prodigious musical talent, but cursed by the pressures of an over-zealous father (Armin Mueller-Stahl). Newcomer and prime Oscar-candidate Geoffrey Rush plays Helfgott, who first appears scampering through the rain toward a small cafe, seemingly euphoric. Looking haggard and acting hyperactive, Rush demands attention from the opening scene, ending his staccato outbursts with, "Oh yes, the tragedy of it all, the tragedy." Rush's performance rightfully deserves praise, as he comfortably fills the shoes of a man who suffers and succeeds because of his obsessive relationship with music. In a refreshingly different move, director Scott Hicks ("Strictly Ballroom") then cuts to flashbacks of Helfgott's childhood and troubled adolescence. Most of the film centers on Helfgott's growing years, which send him spiralling toward a nervous breakdown. Under the reign of an overprotective, controlling father who was traumatized by the Holocaust, young David (Alex Rafalowicz) grows into a fragile, socially overwhelmed teen-ager (Noah Taylor). Rafalowicz is adorable and convincing in the role of little Helfgott, a boy who never knew the release of a free-wheeling childhood because he was too busy fulfilling his father's expectations. By the time Rafalowicz passes the baton to Taylor, some sort of catastrophe seems imminent. For audiences who like a little unpredictability with their dramatic tension, "Shine" may not seem as brilliant as the hype surrounding the film would have you believe. Yes, this is one of 1996's brighter cinematic offerings, but no, it is not the Hope Diamond of bio-dramas.
