  • @buckowens Comment could been done without the ugly gay asian emote guess your a gay slant eye retard

  • He just delivered the biggest FUCK YOU to everyone in there

  • haha after he played he was like HAHA IN YOUR FACE!!

  • I love the fancy musical "fuck you(s)" of history, from 1812 Overture, to this, and now the song "Fuck You".

  • did he actually have to learn how to play this? (and his other pieces?)

  • @GLmusicaddict Yep. c':

  • @GLmusicaddict

    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

    Geoffrey Rush for the win!

  • @Akoposizmac woww hes amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  • @GLmusicaddict Yeah, he did... But he would also of had a hand double, like all the actors who play him when he was younger... :) xxx

  • @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

  • @GLmusicaddict

    He learned to mimic them.

  • 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!

  • awesome

  • 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!

  • 25 People Cannot Even Play Twinkle Twinkle Little star.

  • stupid bar owner

  • Comment removed

  • Way to go David!!!

  • The guy holding the drink is like...I'm such a douche.

  • OMG I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!!!XD

  • Comment removed

  • 25 dislikes? Philistines!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  • I would still kick him out for smoking.

  • if i ever saught after learning the piano the only goal i would have is to play this song

  • this is such a powerful scene

  • press 3 to here the bublebee fall then catch itself :DD

  • lolz i never knew hector barbossa could play the piano

  • my only complain with this scene is that the piano is off-key as shit lol

  • All while smoking a cigarette.

  • @SuperHaloStarwarsFan not the best...bill went throught a zombie invasion while smoking a cigarette and even died with it in his mouth

  • Like a boss.

  • tHIS Is reAllY nICE,.!!!!UHMMMMMMMMMMMM<!!!

  • I SO WANT TO DO THIS!

  • The pretentious asshat got owned :3

  • 25 people think they can play it better.

  • The amazing thing is Geoffrey Rush actually played that.

  • @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!

  • @Medafets

    No, i believe it was just some camera trick, the record is from Helfgott himself (if I'm not mistaken).

  • @Santosificationable Maybe, But I have actually heard Geoffrey Rush play Piano and he most likely would be able to play it.

  • Wow that was super good!!!!!

  • brilliant! :D i love it! :)

  • pawned.....

  • 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.

  • Hey baybe ,what about a tune?

    A tune ,sure baybe no worries no worries :)

  • 25 people got socked to by Liberace 

  • geoffrey rush- pirate, pianist and speach therapist....what's not to love about him?

  • Fron what movie is this scene?

  • @elsoprano23rd It's Shine

  • The minute I saw his face I knew it was Geoffrey Rush.

  • Shredding on piano! D=

  • 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."

  • 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' their will be no doubt about that in anyone's mind."

  • I love how he comes in, sits behind the piano and gets rude comments, but he just shrugs it off and plays this tune, LIKE A BOSS!!!

  • Suck on that, bartender guy

  • my favorite movies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I never knew that Captain Barbossa could play a piano.

  • @3ddonovan nah, you didn't know that David Helfgott could be a pirate :)

  • love this piece of music!!! :)

  • That douchebag got owned, LOL

  • ...and he did that whilst smoking his cigarette!!! :D

  • Its magnific

  • Geoffrey Rush is such a playhouse, amazing actor, unbelievably good in this film and in Quills, just to mention a few.

  • lol, it isnt as easy as it looks like to play the piano and smoke at the same time

  • Bravo! Now encore!!

    ---

    Im Serious

  • One of my favorite scenes of powerful jerks get showed.

  • I love Geoffrey Rush, he is such a good actor.

  • That blew my mind. I wanna play the piano now

  • 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.

  • Yes, he sure showed them!

  • kai vlepete pws koitaei pisw otan paizei ,, to Bumblebee to xei gia thn plaka tou!!!

  • Geoffrey Rush all the money

  • that girl wanted a finger job from that pianist

  • I cry with joy & clap wildly at this every time. Fantastic stufff.

  • type in gift before youtube.com

  • One of the most deserved Oscar's....

  • This guy just delivered the biggest "fuck you" to every person being rude in that restaurant. haga :D

  • @Julianduncanmusic and it was brilliant to witness...

  • @Julianduncanmusic

    The 24 (now 25) people that don't like this clip are the 25 people that were in that restaurant who now look like fools.

  • @Julianduncanmusic yeah, it would have been complete had he turned round and gone 'up yours' to that guy. sadly they missed that bit.

  • @Julianduncanmusic He blessed them all with Music He did not curse with anger nor hatred

    There was No F word None

  • I saw David Helfgott live at a recital here in Melbourne Australia yesterday, and he performed this piece for his SECOND encore!!!

    A greatly talented man, he is - no doubt.

  • @Scruffy193 I too saw him, just a couple of hours ago, he also played this for his second encore : ), but my favorite was La Campanella

  • @xTwitch95,

    That was one nice too, his last encore was Moonlight Sonata... such a talented man, whatever his critics say off him.

  • 5 years of piano. forget that song not yet cant play it wont play it 2 hard lol

  • OMG he is goning to bumble bee us to hell!!!no!
