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.

A person's life is a work, a magnificent work constructed from different movements. In fact, everyone is the same. Your life seems so ordinary and simple. Until the end of your life, if you have worked hard and have had an impact on other people, then your life will be a complete work.

I saw it on CCTV6 a few years ago, but I never knew the name...It was very touching, especially when he was angry with his son at the time. He thought that his son didn't know who was John Lennon. The work of many people made them patient. Communicating with people, but often ignoring the closest relatives around you,,,,

Stadler: Who's that in the box?
[a brief pause]
Glenn Holland: Just some kid I taught to beat a drum.

Principal Jacobs: Mr. Holland, it has come to my attention that you are teaching the students rock and roll.
Glenn Holland: Is this a problem?
Vice Principal Gene Wolters: Is this a problem? Yes, I think so. Our only job is to teach. We cannot teach and the students cannot learn if there is no discipline.
Glenn Holland: Uh... I'm sorry, uh, what exactly is your point, Gene?
Vice Principal Gene Wolters: My point is rock and roll, by its very nature, leads to a breakdown in discipline.
Glenn Holland: Well, what would you like me to do? Deny that rock and roll exists?
Vice Principal Gene Wolters: What I am... What we are saying is that you should be pushing the classics. Brahms, Mozart, Stravinsky.
Glenn Holland: Stravinsky was the music of the Russian Revolution, if you want to talk about a breakdown in discipline.
Vice Principal Gene Wolters: You are deliberately exaggerating.
Glenn Holland: How about the Kingston Trio, Gene? How about Sing Along with Mitch?
Vice Principal Gene Wolters: Oh, please!
Principal Jacobs: Just a minute, gentlemen. Mr. Holland, I do not want to interfere in the curriculum of any teacher. But next week, I have a meeting with the school board. And there are people in this community who believe that rock and roll is a message sent from the devil himself. Now when that issue comes up, what can I tell them?
Glenn Holland: Mrs. Jacobs, you tell them that I am teaching music, and that I will use anything from Beethoven to Billie Holiday to rock and roll, if I think it'll help me teach a student to love music.
