I got to know this movie from CCTV6's excellent film appointments. The topic of that episode of the show’s guest talk was "True Feeling in the Ordinary, and Greatness in the Ordinary", I felt very appropriate. This is not only a generalization of the theme of the film, but also a generalization of the profession of teachers. I remember that in "Meet on Tuesday," Mo Li said, "Teachers are a profession in the world that does not rely on exploiting others to gain something" that touched me. In this increasingly materialized world, people often act in accordance with the principle of utilitarianism. People are accustomed to devoting their energy to the pursuit of lofty social status and rich wealth. They believe that success in life is the most successful life. However, we ignore the ordinary people around us, who are realistic and real, and construct the main body of life; we also ignore the ordinary posts around us, and only the endless life can create brilliance. It is undeniable that Mr. Holland in the film has also undergone a difficult and painful conceptual change. He loves music and wants to be an excellent composer and create an amazing work. However, his fate has made him an ordinary music teacher. In this ordinary post, he has worked for 30 years. He sent away batch after batch of students. His enthusiasm for music has never diminished. On the contrary, this enthusiasm has infected the people around him. He uses music to convey good morals, and his feelings are like spring breeze and rain that nourishes everyone. soul. Although he failed to create an amazing work in the end, every student he had educated turned into a note to compose the greatest "Mr. Holland's Movement". The film is based on hundreds of people. The end was a grand farewell ceremony for Mr. Holland by those who had been influenced and educated by Mr. Holland. I think that not all teachers will have a grand ending like Mr. Holland, but those who have devoted their life to education will have a day full of peach and plum. This is also a joy that people engaged in other jobs cannot experience.

When Mr Holland said to the students "Beethoven is not born deaf" with wet eyes, when Mr Holland smiled and kissed Rowena's face at the farewell station, when Mr Holland used all his strength to sing "Beautiful Boy" to his son, when Mr Holland When Holland covered his mouth before the performance at the farewell party and was speechless, when..., I was moved...

[Glenn and Iris are discussing the possibility of sending Cole to a special school]
Glenn Holland: The doctor said that gestures meant...
Iris Holland: It's way more than gestures.
Glenn Holland: That gestures meant that Cole would never learn how to lip read or to talk!
Iris Holland: He can barely talk now, he can't say two or three words!
Glenn Holland: The guy is a specialist, Iris!
Iris Holland: Ohhh, he's a specialist who thinks that deaf people are retarded and he is not retarded, he is...
[Cole is screaming, asking for something and Iris doesn't know what it is]
Iris Holland: Cole!
Glenn Holland: What does he...? Give him what he wants!
Iris Holland: I don't know what he wants, I don't understand what he's trying to say. Don't you get it? You walk to school every day with all these children who are normal. I can't talk to my son! I don't know what he wants or what he thinks or what he feels. I can't tell him that I love him, I can't tell him who I am. I want to talk to my son! I don't care what it costs, I don't care what the stupid doctor says it's right or wrong. I want to talk to my son!
