"In this world only the strong survive. The weak get crushed like insects."

Shine is a deceitfully straightforward and disposable title for an unreservedly amazing motion picture. This low-budget Australian feature illuminates the strength of the human spirit and the triumph of the heart as it depicts the tremendous courage of a troubled individual.

" The Untruth: A man everyone thought was a mad old tramp turns out to be piano playing wizard David Helfgott. (Geoffrey Rush) He is nursed back to health by Lynn Redgrave and embarks on a triumphant world tour. Everybody claps and cries at the end. The Truth: Helfgott is not very good at playing the piano. OK, he’s better than you are, but New Zealand philosopher Dennis Dutton described his playing style as ‘flaccid and inaccurate.’ "
