Mr. Holland's Opus - Part 1

Glenn Holland is a musician and composer who takes a teaching job to pay the rent while, in his 'spare time', he can strive to achieve his true goal - compose one memorable piece of music to leave his mark on the world. As Holland discovers 'Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans' and as the years unfold the joy of sharing his contagious passion for music with his students becomes his new definition of success.

its really hard but after awhile it gets easier plus in australian music classes we learn composing. and i major in it!

@danpluswife Damn dude, lol. I'm 16 and I've the feintest idea on composing. Of course, I'm more into performing than writing.

Coincidentally, my symphonic band's conductor's name is Mr. Holland.

I can so relate to his first day as a teacher. I got the same reaction from my students.

@MrHollandsOpusMov Me too. It doesn't seem like a two hour movie at all. Every scene is well done, and the soundtrack outside and within the movie is absolutely amazing. Some of the best pieces of music. Immortal Beloved still beats this movie out. And possibly Copying Beethoven, but I do think it's better than Amadeus, mainly because the little Mozart was a spoiled little highly talented annoying brat.... IMMORTAL BELOVED is a MUST. Y am I tellin yall this. I'm sure you all know bout em
