If this was the only role in film he ever did, Rush would still be what he is today - a fucking miracle. Excellent film, brilliant performance from Geoffrey.
He did, he did all of his own 'stunts'. He learned to play the piano when he was a kid, util he was 14 and thirty year later he took up piano again for this movie! 8D
@GLmusicaddict No he learnt where is fingers were ment to be, but it was a pre recording that you can hear. Once Elton John congratulated Geoffery Rush on his piano playing skills, and Geoffery didn't have the heart to tell EJ that it wasn't him playing lol
I don't care how many times I see this clip, it is truly an inspiration to me each time that I see it. It shows that each and every one of us were meant to shine no matter what our disabilities may be. BRAVO!
I am truly inspired by this clip and the genius of Mr. Helfgott. The passion, the focus, the total mastery of that wonderful instrument. He sat down at an upright piano and made it a grand piano. A man with so many barriers and he found a way to reach out to others with his gift. WOW! Thank you so much, simulatedmind, for posting this.
Wow, to be the person that David was and to come out and get the admiration of a large group of people, indeed that was a moment worthy of the movie title. Did you see the awkwardness at the beginning, but when he hit those piano key running... well when he was done, he had one the crowd... even the heckler with the drink was genuinely impressed!
@Medafets Nope no big deal the big deal is that he played so well. I learned to Fur Elise on righthanded and left handed guitars. Then learned to play it upsidedown on both. HE learned all the script and piano playing all at once amazing!
There was this homeless woman in my town who i think unfortunately died recently, but there was a rumour going round that she was actually brilliant at piano. one day my uncle, who has a piano, invited her over, and she played. I wasn't there but apparently she was fantastic. This scene always reminds me of that.
The thought bubble from the graphic novel version would read:
"Yeah, sure, baby. Liberace's a hack and you're an asshole and as soon as I'm done playing this 'tune' there will be no doubt about that in anyone's mind."

Thing is, though we see Rush's hands, and I gather he is capable of some level of rendition of this piece, the film credits make it clear that we were actually hearing a performance by David Helfgott. Now, this would be a creditable performance by someone whose career is in acting, and it's likely to be a better effort than I will ever achieve, but it's really not world-standard concert pianist stuff. In the past Helfgott may have been a very talented pianist, but not when this film was made.
At 1:00, he looks back with a smile. He's got 'em, and he knows it!
