	Shine (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Shine is a 1996 film based on the life of pianist David Helfgott, who suffered a mental breakdown and spent years in institutions.
		Peter Helfgott's decision to prevent David from going overseas at the age of 14 was not made with the vindictive spirit portrayed in Shine, she claims, but a reasonable judgement that he was not ready for such independence.
		Margaret Helfgott further claims to have been pressured by David's second wife Gillian and by the publicisers of the film to stop making trouble for them by telling her story.

	Denis Dutton on David Helfgott
		In order that the dramatic salvation David Helfgott be effected in Shine —; beginning with the implausibly polite and attentive crowd in a wine bar and culminating with the love of his new wife, the astrologer, Gillian — he had to be portrayed as down-and-out and friendless.
		The tragedy for Peter Helfgott was not that his talented son left home, but rather that David was slowly succumbing to the same genetically caused mental derangement that afflicted both Peter’s aunt in Poland and his own sister, Hannah, who died in 1989 in a Melbourne mental institution.
		David Helfgott was popular with the other residents, had an active social life, was given a piano for his own room when the lodge moved to a new building, and continued during his years there to give public concerts.

		Helfgott got more giggles in the Chopin F-minor Ballade, when he kept scratching his side with his right hand, simian-fashion (when he wasn't waving his arm about as if he were conducting).
		The last movement, though, lurched from one rhythm to another, Helfgott hitting a stone wall just when you thought he was getting into the swing of things.
		Certainly Helfgott, grinning and leaping up from his chair to receive his applause, shaking hands with front-row wellwishers, seemed to be having a ball.

		Shine: (David Hirschfelder) Among the red hot sensations of the 1997 awards season was Shine, an Australian film that caused such a stir at its Sundance debut in late 1996 that both New Line and Miramax were engaged in open warfare over the right to distribute the film worldwide.
