The film 'Shine' directed by Scott Hicks is an amazing film on power of love. Love is a very destructive power but it is also very uplifting. Love was one of the problems that caused David's breakdown. David's love came from mostly people out of the family but his parents and sisters still loved him very much, so I guess you could say that it came in two different pieces. This most probably confused him.
Negative- David is loved by his father very much, you know this because Peter (his father) says it to him a lot during the movie. David is confused because he is treated so bad from his father but also gets love. Peter probably thinks he is setting David for life and thinks his doing the right thing but it doesn't really help him at all.
Uplifting- Sylvia, Catherine and Gillian treated David with real love and respect like he had never been treated before, even by his own family. They showed him how much people can love and help. They were very patient even when he was annoying. They showed him that he was able to trust them, especially Gillian. Love is very help full and even you can achieve the hardest things just lik
Gillian- She was first a friend of Sylvia's that stayed with her and David for a few weeks. When David met Gillian, he thought he was another doctor but she was interested in astrology. Gillian also helped David, and David started to fall in love with her. When Gillian was about to leave David asked her to marry him, but her answer was 'look to the stars and you will find the answer to your question.'
