Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Shine is a 1996 Australian film based on the life of classical pianist David Helfgott, directed by Scott Hicks.Based somewhat on Helfgott's real life, it follows him through his formative years as he rehearses the piano and gets accepted to the Royal College of Music in London and his subsequent mental breakdown and years in institutions. It stars Geoffrey Rush (as Helfgott), Lynn Redgrave (as Gillian), Armin Mueller-Stahl (as his father, Peter Helfgott) and Noah Taylor (as the teenage David).It grossed over $35 million and won Rush his first Oscar for Best Actor in 1997. One noted critic of the movie was Margaret Helfgott, David's sister, who said that she felt that "an evil had been done"; the film portrayed their father Peter as a strict disciplinarian and controlling bully and Margaret maintains he was almost the opposite in real life.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

| Shine / int_8ae880f7 | comment |
Deconstruction: The kindly lady volunteer from the church is a big fan of David's work, and she decides to take him out of the asylum and take care of him because she's moved by his mental state. She has absolutely no idea what she's signed up for. | |

Abusive Parents | |
| Shine / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
Abusive Parents: His father Peter is obsessed with winning who has no tolerance for failure or disobedience. Peter's own father. He tells a story throughout the film about how he saved up to buy a violin when he was younger and his father smashed it, explaining why Peter is so protective and forceful to his own children. | |

Disposable Fiancé: We never even get Gillian's fiance's name, and it takes Gillian all of a scene to decide she'd rather marry David. | |
