Shine is an good movie in some sense with obviously some touching moments. But the biggest problem is the potrayal of the pianist is not true. So even though the movie based on real life character but for most part especially the pianist talent is overrated or exagerated in the movie. I've seen the way he's playing in real life concert and it's so dissapointing. It's like watching a freak show. You expected a great pianist. But you saw an average talented pianist who happened to have some pshycological problem because of his childhood experiences. That makes me dissapointed with the movie.
