Shine (1996)

What a wonderful movie! This has to be Geoffrey Rush's best so far that reaches one of my favorites "The King's Speech". He is an amazing actor who really shines in the role as David Helfgott. He is really well deserved by the Oscar he won in 1997. But I also think we must not forget David's father Peter (Armin Muller-Stahl) although he plays an unpleasant dad who makes a very difficult ultimatum -if David travels to London to study on a famous music school, he will no longer meet his family again.
