The film "Life is Beautiful because of You" was originally called Mr. Holland's Opus in English. This is one of the most appropriate and elegant translations I have ever seen. It was also translated as "Spring Wind and Rain 1996"-think about "Shawshank's Redemption" that was inexplicably translated as "Stimulation 1995", you can imagine the situation of two distressed brothers and sisters.
Among all disciplines, there is one thing that has the least practical value and is the most difficult to teach. This is beauty. Because beauty cannot be written on the lesson plan, having it or not cannot change the amount of bread. Moreover, after a person enters the palace of beauty, he often becomes clumsy, or extremely selfish. It is difficult for him to withdraw and hold your hand, take you in for a tour, and tell you how to appreciate it.
Fortunately, we have Mr. Holland from "Life is Beautiful because of You". Dozing off listening to classical music? Then he will hit jazz on the keyboard to stimulate your wilting spirit, and then tell you little by little the relationship between this piece and Bach's famous piece. Tell you the inheritance relationship between the popular music you like and the serious music you fear.
Like to play but not talented? Playing the clarinet is like a tuberculosis patient walking around and changing the voice? Come and see how Mr. Holland taught his schoolgirls: He took the sheet music and told the girl that the music was in his heart and he didn't need to read it anymore. When the female student was still making no progress, he asked the girl a very strange question: "Which part of your face do you like best?" The female student replied with hair, because her father said her hair looked like sunset. Therefore, Mr. Holland whispered in the ear of the female student: "Then, play the sunset!" This time, the female student really did it.
At the beginning, Mr. Holland only wanted to end his teaching career as soon as possible, in order to complete his composition and become a great composer. But in the end he didn't do that, but became a middle school music teacher, like that throughout his life. He used music to change the destiny of countless students. More importantly, he taught them what the beauty of music is, so that life is no longer a boring cycle, but a little candle with music.
Life is like a song. If beauty can be taught and passed on, Mr. Holland told us one of the reasons: by love.
