Truly Captivating, everything i expected and more.

Rating: 10/10 (2 December 2008)

I have aspirations t become an actor when i grow up, so i know about acting. This movie was simply captivating,Rush's performance was simply marvelous, it takes you to a journey in Helfgott's life. I fell in love with this movie cause it shows you family selfishness in a raw way, by using the character of Davids father,great acting by Stahl.
The directing was incredible,even that little detail when rush does the jumping in the hospital, which symbolizes the traumatized childhood of his character, and more importantly the look in rush eyes, were like an innocent traumatized child. The ending showed that Helfgott found out what kind of selfish man his dad was , and cared less when he found out he was dead.
Every movement in Rush is absolutely impeccable i thought he was really going through a mental problem, after this movie Rush became one of my inspirations along with Pacino,Penn, Brando, Depp, Day-Lewis and Nicholson. The movie should won the Oscar in every category: Best Movie, Best Direcor, etc.
