Imagine playing the drums when you have no sense of rhythm, or singing with such emotion it's like falling in love. Every so often a teacher draws talents from students they never knew they had...every so often there's a Mr. Holland. Starring Academy Award-winner Richard Dreyfuss in an Oscar-nominated performance that's one of the most convincing metamorphoses ever seen on screen. This life-affirming, beautiful film features a nearly flawless supporting cast that includes Academy Award-winner Olympia Dukakis and Oscar-nominee William H. Macy.
In his wildest dreams, Glenn Holland (Dreyfuss) could never imagined that teaching music to teenagers would be anything other than a waste of his musical gift. But when the frustrated young composer places his dreams of writing a grand opus on hold in order to support his family, he discovers that the students he inspires strike a deep emotional chord within him... and that they become the very notes of his symphony. A glowing tribute to the unsung heroics of those rare, gifted teachers who make a difference in life, Mr. Holland's Opus hits a high note of triumph!

Mr Holland's Opus
Not a new film... you've probably seen it before in the VHS era but, oh, the feelgood factor when you watch this lovely film that ticks all the boxes for those film buffs who prefer good, honest, well-made films that contain little or no swearing, violence or sex. You also learn quite a lot about classical and easy listening music and the composers too!! Got to be watched again!!!!
