Shine (1996)

Phenomenal
This is a great film, with stellar acting. The characters are based on real people, although they had to modify certain things to make the story more interesting. David Helfgott probably can't play the piano as well as he is portrayed in here. Nevertheless, the true Helfgott probably plays better than the majority of the people leaving reviews on Amazon...just a hunch. I find it somewhat humorous that Helfgott's sister tried to cash in on the inaccuracies of this film. Once you realize that this is based on true characters/events, it's much easier to accept this movie for what it is as a film instead of fact.

SHINE-A MUST SEE FOR PIANO MUSIC LOVERS
this is a must see for all people who love piano music-also a very good story.

Great acting! An amazing true story of overcoming mental adversity. Uplifting and inspirational.
