5/5 Flash back time !!

I liked this movie cause of the flash back in time from the 60's to the 90's I like the movie because Mr Holland tried to teach the kid to enjoy music !

This movie quickly became a family hit. It also instills a love of music in a child's heart.

One of the best movies, ever! People of all ages should watch it at least once...this is my second copy and I'll watch it again!

2/5 Fail.

The good: some of the acting.

The bad: everything else. Especially the titular musical work. Hordes of composition students could've hit this one out of the park, and would've done it for free, but instead they paid gobs of cash to Michael Kamen, who decided to suck. Seriously, the "Opus" he wrote as Mr. Holland's proxy, should have come in a white can w/ black letters reading "music." In other words, generic as can be. If I spent my whole life working on that piece of trash, like Holland supposedly did, I'd stab myself in the eye with my conductor's baton.

I bought this video to use in a Career & Life Planning class. The students enjoyed it which surprised them because of the age of the movie. It is a very good story. It demonstrates the passion one can have for a profession in spite of the fact he hated the job at the beginning.
