      pay for the dream

      The birth of every genius seems to be inseparable from meticulous cultivation, but the person who cultivates a genius also has the ability to destroy the genius, so the genius seems to have the necessary factors such as the exploration of potential and the education of superhumans.
             Geniuses also have difficult household chores and are burdened by the world. Fortunately, the environment at that time provided convenience, which was a good road for geniuses, but the emotional...

      Love is a poison and an antidote.

      I just finished it, I don't know how to start, maybe I need to adjust my mood and think about how to describe it.
      Because I can't tell which emotions are my own and which are infected by the movie.
      Let's start with the movie.
      David had a father who loved him deeply, I have no doubts about that.
      But it was precisely because of his father that brought the tragedy of his life.
      Let me talk about David's father in my eyes.
      He is a very strong man, strong character,...

      Shine

      Why do

      adults always put their own unfinished ideals

      on innocent children,

      never consider their feelings,

      ignore their thoughts, and

      deprive them of their youth and happiness.

      Childhood should

      be carefree. He

      is happy,

      but he has too many responsibilities,

      too many expectations

      , and is deeply influenced by a mentally deformed father.

      He has absolutely no ideas of his own,...

      good piano movie

      One of several famous piano movies, it is an older one. Rachmaninoff is very impressive, but compared to No. 3 in the film, I still think No. 2 sounds better.

      Growing up in such a depressing family, the protagonist cannot avoid many setbacks, although the process of watching it is very depressing, especially listening to his series of English like tongue twisters -_-!! . . In the end, he was still shiny. This is the so-called gold that always shines. I feel very lucky that he met his...

      Genius is unable to adapt to this. Family love is always selfless and eternal

      dont trust everyone no one love you like me

      are all envious of his talents, all like to turn it into business or part of his own achievements,

      very afraid of this society and the world, not because I don't really love you, just afraid that time is not so eternal

      . The reality is that you can't give up your life forever because you cherish your talents.

      Before he went crazy, everyone was acclaimed. After this depression,

      why don't you help your...

      The actor's acting is great! The soundtrack is also super strong, and there is a movie about the lonely life of a genius. ....

      Implicit and metaphorical, Uncle Rush's performance makes people kneel. The editing is almost perfect, how can photography love to use close-ups so much. In addition, the story structure is very interesting, starting from the lowest point of David's life, first in flashbacks, and then in positive order. How, did you remember "Wuthering...

    Movie plot

    In the 1950s, David Hefkau grew up in a very strict Jewish family. However, he suffers from mild nervousness. He had already revealed his talent as a pianist in his early years. His father Peter put all his hopes on him, and always urged him to study hard and practice hard. When David's piano skill improved by leaps and bounds, he received an invitation to study in the United States. But his father Peter would not let him go, because...

    "Shine" is an excellent work. The film expresses the joys and sorrows and emotional struggles of David Hefgott's experience in a very simple and plain way, thus exuding a real brilliance. Although "Shine" is a non-Hollywood work that is so simple and without any decorations, it does not mean that it is a crude movie. The natural and touching picture like the theme, the soothing and smooth narrative rhythm, and the classic melody full...
