Celebrated actor Richard Dreyfuss earned an Academy Award nomination (Best Actor, 1995) for his unforgettable role in this heartwarming tale about the importance of following your passion. Glen Holland is a musician who dreams of composing one truly memorable piece of music, but reality intrudes when he reluctantly accepts a "day job" as a high school music teacher to support his family. Ultimately, Mr. Holland realizes that his true passion is teaching and his legacy is the generations of young people he inspires.

Notes et avis

Some people may say that this is an overrated movie. Some may say that this film is not worth it. But to me it represents something special for me I had my own equivalent of Mr Holland in my own Music/Band Teacher. He taught me to love music and if music can bring us hope no matter what the situation. Either it can be good or bad. More Importantly he taught us to believe in ourselves this movie teaches us the ability to hope and believe in our own abilities and reminds us of what the cost can be of not having music and the arts in our own school system's. The movie is a great movie and it is worth going to see and may it inspire the opus in your own life too.

This is one of the best movies I have watched. The movie, along with the messages never get old or outdated to me. I have been checking for this movie since I purchased my first smartphone. Thanks for offering this title for sale.

Superb movie shows the importance of us having our own Opus. A very cautionary tale to those Politicians cutting out the Arts and Music in short sited budget cuts by STUPID people, thinking they're saving money, but hurting children INSTEAD.
