I have always preferred music-related soundtracks. When some emotions that cannot be expressed in words and images are expressed in music, they are often not embarrassing and contrived. Therefore, there is also an additional way for people to communicate with each other, and that is music. Music is Mr. Holland's language, and he uses it to bridge the gap with his students, racial prejudice, and even to convey love and guilt for his son. Although such a storyline has obvious idealistic tendencies, Mr. Holland's music is the voice of his inner love, and only because of this, we believe that his music has such power.
Relatively speaking, I prefer another translation of this film, "Life is Beautiful because of You". I think it conveys the emotion that this film expresses aptly, so I quote it as the title.
Life is like a song, inheriting the love for life.
