Geoffrey Rush is one of the most underrated actors in movie history. Fortunately, he won an Oscar for this performance...and he has other stellar performances like this one.
Everyone today is "underrated." The new complement du jur rather than simply saying he's a good actor. I understand the Grand Canyon is underrated as a hole in the ground...
The Peter Sellers biopic he did was amazing. It was a made for TV movie. If they had the foresight to put it in half a dozen cinemas he would have walked the Oscar.
Nicely constructed scene. The first thing I thought was he would never have gotten away with smoking in a restaurant. Then the manager/owner lights up. Sign of the times. How quickly we forget.
Shine was a crushing victory for all those musicians who lived similar tortured lives.... but remained obscure. Rush was clearly the winner that year for BA.
David Helfgott just played in Izmir tonight and he was such a pleasure to be around. Geoffrey Rush couldn't have acted better, David is exactly the sweetie pie you see at the movie. He runs around kissing everyone during the applouse, sings along while he plays (sings a totally different tune though), he's such a lovely man.
Always loved Rush's performance in this film, he was really great BUT I was always even more impressed by Noah Taylor playing Helfgott in his teens, he's such an underappreciated actor. Excellent in Game of Thrones!
@@CaptainReedo40I still feel we were lucky to have him in “Pirates”, but that the series was Rush’s reward to enjoy. “ARRR!!!” as he charged Depp … I mean, seriously, that looked like so much fun!
@@markt3720 Geoffrey Rush had once learned the piano up until aged fourteen. He took up piano lessons again thirty years later for this movie and also acted as his own hand double and body double. its a known trivia piece
@@markt3720 dude you just bursted the illusion i had :( you mean to tell me the whole flight of the bumblebee scene in the pub was simon and not rush ?
@@TheBarbahaba Actually, it was no illusion :) Geoffrey played the piano by himself and Simon played the piano scenes of when David was a teen\young adult
1/2 century ago I use to be able to play it this good on a violin and loved every second of it. Out of everything our orchestra played, this was always my favorite music. Now I'm so old I'd never be able to do it again, but I think at least I would be able to hold the violin correctly.
I love this movie and this scene had me in tears. Both Noah Taylor (very underrated and unspoken of) and Geoffrey Rush did an amazing job in this movie.
Geoffrey Rush resumed piano lessons for the movie because he was suspended from piano school when he was 14... in order not to require a hand double... this men is awesome :D
So many music teachers today shy away from teaching kids scales. "Flight of the Bumblebee" is full of chromatic scales. Kids can't grasp basic music concepts and structure without a basic knowledge of how music works. Teaching a kid music without the basics is like teaching someone to write a novel before they can spell properly.
@@savedbyjesusblood I don't know dick about theory, and I've wrote and recorded fuck loads of songs. Theory and scales aren't everything. But it definitely can help
The guy who realises he has been a prat is excellent in this scene too. Really helps to make the scene. Such a wonderful scene. I always want to join the party at the end. I can play Flight of the Bumble Bee on piano but only at 80% speed! I bet the ‘prat’ guy’s lovely in real life!
It's a great scene. Everyone else is captivated and delighted by this unexpected surprise. But Sam can't share in their enthusiasm. He looks around in dismay. How can this dishevelled mess of a man be drawing such rapt attention and respect?! It's so well done.
There are not 5 actors today with the range of Rush, truly one of our finest actors I loved him in Elizabeth, he was fiendishly good there. Here he made me very sad, how could a father snuff out the genius of his child. Or attempt to. Great performances all around in this very good movie.
Not just the father,,, the real story was the Electric Shock Therapy and medications on top of 130 cigarettes per day, 30 cups of coffee per day, alcohol and cigars fed to David by the Doctor who owned the Wine Bar.
I had the great pleasure of hearing Helfgott play live at a small country town recital in Merredin decades ago. Humble and talented. I also hate Flight of the Bumblebee. Took me three years to master it, my right hand ached after finally getting it right, played it once for a concert, then never played it again. Ever.
Baka Shiina Because it's technically a pain in the arse to perform well, my fingers aren't fast enough, and I don't even really like it that much. My parents did though, so I learned it for them. Much prefer the third movement of the Moonlight Sonata myself. Also difficult, but I just like it better over all.
I consider this to be one of the best scenes in film not to mention one of the greatest films of all time, no matter how many times I watch it. Pure Karma shown in all it's glory. Rush was outstanding here and deserved the Oscar for leading actor that year. He absolutely nailed Helfgott's mannerisms.
Geoffrey Rush is an absolutely brilliant actor, one of the best on the planet. That said I thought Noah Taylor's performance was grossly underrated and a more difficult role than Rush. He was the portrait of the artist and had to create an arc, especially when it came to his relationship with his father. It was a more nuanced performance but truly first class and he deserves far more recognition.
Geoffrey Rush is such a Versatile Actor. From Helfgott to the Boss of Mossad in Munich to a Pirate in Pirates of the Caribbean. One of the best actors to come from Australia.😊🇦🇺
One of the greatest scenes of cinema history. A bum - sneering and ''throw him out' - and suddenly 'Flight of the Bumblebee' played with cigarette. I especially love Sylvia played by Sonia Todd who encourages him and whose surprise is palpable.
It's about time some producer somewhere in the world had the guts to give Geoffrey Rush a job, one of the world's very greatest acting talents wasting...
I remembering crying my eyes out while watching this film for the first time on a plane to Mexico City, back in August 1997. Certain scenes are simply heartrending.
I had not heard of this movie before I watched this clip. After which I promptly watched entire movie. What an absolutely brilliant film. Geoffrey Rush did an outstanding job.
I'm amazed. I remember when I was teenager ,I had seen this movie .Now I play piano and wanted to make sure, that actor was really playing this bumble one or not. I thought this was played by pro pianist. But now I knew he was playing for himself and how difficult this was !
David Helfgott recorded this, Geoffrey Rush synched the hand movements but was not playing. Movies are made piece by piece then edited together in the studio.
@@josephhapp9 at 1:19 there’s no edit and it REALLY looks like he’s actually playing. I know he studied for the film so they wouldn’t need a hand double for sure. But if that was fake piano playing on Rush’s part that’s the best faking I’ve ever seen.
I remember watching this with my mum as a teen. We loved it and bonded so well that day. That was more than 30 years ago & I remember it like yesterday.
I remember watching David playing at Riccardos wine bar (where this scene took place). He had the smoke on the lip and had turned his body to order a drink from a waiter, his hands just kept playing. Incredible. Geoffrey Rush had no hand double in this movie, and claims to not be a pianist, so you have just witnessed the greatest acting to ever be captured on film.
21 years ago, when this first came out; it was my first exposure to the Rack 3...I had heard some things by Rachmaninoff and I knew what an amazing pianist he was but...This movie gave me a thirst for more Rachmaninoff...The Rack 3 haunts me; It's power is sublime!
Me too. Favorite concerto from anyone. Absolutely gorgeous. I was shocked I had missed that piece, having been classically trained as a kid and a fan of everyone from Wolfgang to Stravinsky.
Geoffrey Ruh really can and did play Rimsky-Korsikoff's "Flight of the Bumblebee", from memory, at that speed. What an intellectual achievement that was !
I remember going to see this at my local cinema in stockport greater manchester as a film but #Geoffrey Rush played this role as person david Helfgott what truly a stunning role and again in The Kings Speech and again David Helfgott appeared on a the South Bank show being interviewed by Melvin Bragg
I still remember seeing this for the first time. I got chills when he goes right into playing after being heckled. And then looks back at 1:13 like 'I don't hear you laughing now b****' lol

Al final de la película él halla el amor de su vida de manera circunstancial y es quien reactiva su carrera, apoyándole en todo.
Yes. Geoffrey Rush is a brilliants and lovable actor ... but he is portraying an even more brilliant and lovable person, David Helfgott. Please don't forget. I met Helfgott shortly a couple of times after concerts in Denmark and when I told him my name is Leif he hugged me long and dearly and kept repeating "Leif Den Lykkelige" which was the nordic explorer that came to America 500 years before Columbus. Helfgott lived in Denmark for some time in my home town though I regrettable never met him at that time. When he played his birthday concert in Copenhagen after the regular set he kept running off stage asking his wife if he could play another piece. She rushed him in again and he ran back on stage and asked the audience if he could play another piece. The love from the audiience was never ending. He ended up playing double time, a night never to forget. I still cry when I reminisce.
It's one thing to play Flight of the Bumblebee, It's quite another to play it while smoking.
And without letting the cigarette's leftovers fall off.

Una de las escenas preferidas...no me canso de verla, espectacular.
Bravo Geoffrey Rush, a wonderful performance. And Chris Heywood, I wish we could see more of him.
