Mr. Holland had a profound influence on my life and on a lot of lives I know. But I have a feeling that he considers a great part of his own life misspent. Rumor had it he was always working on this symphony of his. And this was going to make him famous, rich, probably both. But Mr. Holland isn't rich and he isn't famous, at least not outside of our little town. So it might be easy for him to think himself a failure. But he would be wrong, because I think that he's achieved a success far beyond riches and fame. Look around you. There is not a life in this room that you have not touched, and each of us is a better person because of you. We are your symphony Mr. Holland. We are the melodies and the notes of your opus. We are the music of your life.

Beautiful Anthem to Life and Music!

After wanting to see this film since it came out, I finally was lucky enough to see it tonight.  As a music lover, this film blessed my soul.  The score was gorgeous, and the struggles and victories of Mr. Holland made me laugh..made me cry and warmed my heart.  Richard Dreyfuss was glorious in his performance as the troubled Music Teacher.  He showed that anyone, be they a young girl who struggles to be good at something, or a teen in the 60&apos;s who wants to play the drums but can&apos;t find the beat..can be changed by music. Bravo, Mr. Holland!
