He is not a weirdo, nor a maverick, just an ordinary teacher with an ordinary personality. Students graduated one after another, social and political turmoil, war, human rights movement, Kennedy's assassination, Nixon's resignation... Each and every one of the most influential figures has come and gone, and Mr. Holland is still there.
Not everyone can be a blockbuster and gain both fame and fortune, but if you can do ordinary work conscientiously, live every day, accumulate year after year, and let your life continue to a certain length, it is already amazing.
PS. By the way, let's sigh about the makeup technology in the United States. The time span of the film is very large. The technology helps create a more realistic sense of age and gives the actors enough space for expression. I really want to know how many years China is behind in terms of technology. . . .
