Starring Richard Dreyfuss and William H. Macy, this movie is about a composer who takes a job as a music teacher, only to find out he enjoys it.
Well the way I saw this movie, was an assignment for a class I have, where we have to find an early draft of a screenplay, read it, then compare it to the movie. Well I used this movie, and I have to say I enjoyed the screenplay more than the movie.
Mostly because the screenplay starts out in the present time, when Mr. Holland is getting laid off, and his teaching life is told in a series of flashbacks. Well the movie went in a linear pattern, and started in the 60's and told the story until the present day. But other than that this was a fantastic film, the story was great, and all the actors did an amazing job. Also a younger Terence Howard makes an appearance.
Rating: 9.5/10
