My family got a movie in Netflix this evening called, Shine. I usually question a movie if it is not very well-known and doesn't have a gripping title, but somehow my dad had already known that I was going to fall in love with this movie. And, I most certainly did!
This movie stars Geoffrey Rush as David Helfgott, an Australian Concert Pianist, and his hard life story. David Helfgott is still alive today, and performs as often as he can. He suffers from a schizoaffective disorder, but that doesn't stop him from playing piano!
Here is a link to a good, quick biography on him: http://www.musicianguide.com/biographies/1608000385/David-Helfgott.html
The movie Shine did an excellent job, and is a very emotional movie (of course, I cried a lot). The music is all played by David Helfgott, and the soundtrack has gotten very popular! =D
So, this is my discovery of the day!
