concert scene from "SHINE"

submitted by enoch

1 decade 5 years 5 months 2 weeks ago

from the movie "shine" a true life story of australia's prodigal pianist david helfgott.
this is the scene where david is basically playing his final exam,rachmaninoff's concerto no.3 lovingly refered to as "the monster".in the end it drives david into a psychotic break.
my family are all pianists,except me,but i have such an admiration for the difficulty and beauty pianists bring to our lives.
and yes..this concerto is a MONSTER.

Adding video to channels (Bravo, Downunder) - requested by kronosposeidon.

As much as I love this film and this story, I should say that this is not an accurate tale of what really happened. David Helfgott performed this concerto brilliantly and perfectly as many would say. In the following months (or years if you prefer) he became mentally disturbed at a clinical level. He resorted to a mental hospital and they administered shock therapy as one of their options to help him. "Shine" is a great film and well describes his life after his therapy, but it seems to blame the therapy for his odd life. This is a foolish assumption. The brain is the most curious device in the world, but we have some idea how it works and how to fix a serious problem.
