    5.0 out of 5 stars A Fun Loving Movie about High School Music
    Reviewed in Canada on October 19, 2015

    This is an excellent movie especially if you enjoy music. Mr. Holland is a musician but taking a year off and has decided to teach music during his time off at a High School. If you are thinking of teaching as a profession Mr. Holland's first day might make you think twice about it, I'm only kidding with you. Some of the classroom scene's are great.

    I found the movie moved smoothly throughout and Richard Dreyfuss did a great job portraying Mr. Holland. There are times you will laugh and there are times you will not and there are other times you will get a little angry but then, that's good acting and the actors have done their job well. I enjoyed this movie very much and have watched it many times over. In fact this is my second copy.

    I enjoyed this movie immensely. I have several relatives that were and are teachers. Two of them were totally engaged with the students in the classroom and after hours helping with extracurricular activities. This was about a music teacher and he was such a leader!

    Haven't viewed this yet since I received it, but it is a long time favorite movie of mine and I know it will be wonderful. This movie demonstrates that there are different ways to communicate and to open ourselves up to this!!! Society tends to want to put everyone in a box with a label so that they are secure in their understanding which is sometimes limited and excludes people who are different especially deaf. I love this movie because it respects difference.

    Good movie, good story line. I've always liked Richard Dryfus, and this one is no exception. Thought provoking about how family dynamics grow over the years, and family values that change over time, One never knows when something seemingly mundane, actually changes or inspires those around to greater lives than they thought possible.

    Mr. Holland's Opus - A truly inspirational film!

    The dream of this man, Glenn Holland, played masterfully by Richard Dreyfuss is to write music. A young wife and the responsibility of a baby about to arrive make him seek a job as a music teacher. Soon, he is no longer paying the rent of an apartment, but considering a house because they no longer fit within such confined space.

    His dream to compose one piece that would achieves his dream to leave a legacy to make a difference in the music world is set aside as he takes on the role of mentor, husband, friend, father, teacher, counselor and the more involved he becomes in the dreams of his students, the further his dream appears to be.

    Richard Dreyfuss acts with amazing honesty, revealing feelings of love, inspiration, frustration, anger, anxiety with such finesse that we care and suffer right along side the Holland family.

    There are many quotes that stayed with us as we watched this fantastic film, lines said with such profound wisdom that I noted them down to ponder on the lessons learned. One of my favorite statements is what we learn as we navigate our own lives, and that is:

    * Life is what happens to us when we are busy making other plans.

    The movie takes us through his entire life, from 1965 to the 90s and it is remarkable how it weaves viewers through the fabric of the turmoil of the 60's, the challenges of the 70s and 80s and finally to the time he is forced to leave the teaching profession because the music program at his school is canceled due to budgetary pressures.

    And here is where the movie made us cry. On his way out, he feels the nagging pressure of having given up his dreams for nothing, because now, he does not even have his job. As he clears his office, taking his things in boxes with the help of his wife and son, Mr. Holland hears sounds in the auditorium and goes to investigate what that is all about, only to find all his students... all graduating classes have gathered to thank a man that gave them the gift of music.

    A student whom he tutored during his first year as a teacher is now Governor and she delivers the most beautiful lines during this movie, for she tells Mr. Holland that "he has profoundly influenced my life and the lives of all gathered in this auditorium. I have the feeling that Mr. Holland considers a large part of his own life misspent because he never accomplished the symphony he was composing to make him famous, rich, or probably both."

    And as she looks around the room, filled with students, parents, friends, she says: "Mr. Holland, you are not rich or famous, at least not beyond the walls of this hall, so you may think you are a failure, but you would be wrong, because you have achieved a success beyond riches and fame, for as you look around you, you have touched the lives of all gathered here. We are your symphony Mr. Holland, we are the melodies and the notes of your opus... we are the music of your life!"

    If you want to see a movie that touches your heart, if you have teenagers that are in need of inspiration, and if you wonder about dreams you have set aside to accomplish much for others, watch this film and the true purpose of life will reveal that fame and fortune are not necessarily the true goals in life. A treasure of a film, don't miss it!

    Excellent. Very good film. Mr Holland thought composing his own music was the most important thing, but in fact the time that he gave to his pupils, his care, his consideration, over many years, that was really the most important thing, his true opus. It's a film I have personally learnt from as well as enjoying.
