Mr. Holland's Opus- Thank you very much for watching this beautiful movie for me this month, Jay! Mr. Holland's Opus is a beautiful and powerful movie, with an absolutely incredible musical score all throughout! And Richard Dreyfuss as Mr. Holland is fantastic!! I love Richard Dreyfuss as an actor. Always have. The rest of this movie's cast is marvelous too!! His wife, Iris, and their son, Cole, are marvelous too! As are his friends at the school... the football coach and the principle. And the few students they focused most on including Alicia Witt and a very young Terrance Howard, and a few others, were all fabulous as well!! Overall... I love most everything about this movie. I just love this movie's overall story. The only scenes I didn't care much for were the scenes between Holland and the female student who came to grow a crush on him. Roweena's story. I understand this storyline within this movie, because it adds to the deep rooted struggles happening within Mr. Holland as he struggles to deal with the loss of his dream of having his son come to be a musician like him due to his loss of hearing. However, I still could have done without the near love story between Holland and Roweena. I just love that this movie is about a music teacher who inspires his students to love music so impactfully. It's a powerful movie! :) So, thank you very much once more, Jay! I'm excited for so much more to come from you!! :) Sincerely, Heidi
