How Richard Dreyfuss never won an academy award /Oscar for this movie really puzzles me. I can’t think of anyone else who could have played this part better than he did. Such a touching emotional movie from start to finish.
A man who dedicated his whole life to his passion for music, loving it enough to weather every hardship and the political scheming of his school, passing it on to whole generations of students, but unable to share it fully with own son. The anger, resentment, and bitterness that must instill within a person. But, finally, overcoming that anger to stop seeing Cole only as what he fails to have, but recognizing that he is still your son; your own beautiful boy. Equally touching is that this song was written by a man Mr. Holland didn't think that Cole would even know, for the simple reason that Cole could have never heard his music. A conscious effort to acknowledge that prior failing on his part and to share with him, in the only way he reasonably can, the music of a man who changed the world. This movie is so vastly underappreciated I can hardly stand it.
Yes, thank you for that explanation. None of us really got the point of that movie, but thankfully you have illuminated it for us. We are eternally grateful for the education. 🙄
He got so lost in his work and neglected cole as a side effect, nobody believed he could ever reconcile with his deaf son who he truly loved. Such a Heart wrenching moment when he became completely vulnerable in front of his colleagues, friends, family, to reach out to his son and show him he’s not forgotten. And he means the world to Richard’s character
I miss my father who loved me and taught me so many lessons in life , one he never stopped loving me , showed me what a father is and now I have had a blessing having my son who is our world my wife and I love every minute life moves fast ...make it about loving your family they are Gods gift to us
My nephew Cash Allen is 12. He only signs and is autistic. I went through 4 years of American sign language classes just for him. On his 11th birthday, I surprised him on Zoom by signing "Happy Birthday". My sister and my brother-in-law still can't stop talking about it a year later. Cash is so awesome and amazing.
"Life is what happens when you're making other plans". Love that quote! This scene is film-making at it's finest. I am going to dedicate this song to both my boys. I think of this song when I think of them.
I wasn't aware of this great John Lennon song until seeing this movie. This has special meaning to any man that is a father and will bring tears to your eyes.
I really like this film and this is a beautiful scene. A way to show his son that he does care. I also like how he teaches the students how to think, not what to think, helping them to discover what they actually want to do and to follow their dreams and passions, rather than purely focusing on the academia.
It's also especially important in the context of the film because Cole and Mr Holland had a blowout fight after John Lennon's death where Cole called out his father's lack of interest in teaching his own kid about music, assuming he wouldn't get it because he's deaf
We watched this in band today and I lost it, in front of the whole class, as soon as he started singing. Great movie! Definitely recommend it to everyone.
I love how Mr. Holland loved Cole. Even though there was some dissent between them. Which there is in every family. I agree with you that Richard Dreyfus should've gotten an Academy Award or Oscar for this.
It definitely does make me emotional when I watch this. I block out everyone else in the room and just watch Mr. Holland and his son while he's singing and signing to him personally. It makes me think of how I would feel if my father was singing to me. My sister and brother in law raised my sister and me along with their kids. My father died when I was 6.
It reminds me of the moments when my father would dance with me on his feet. We'd dance to The Beatles, Queen, and Kansas were some of the ones I remember. I have one distinct memory of before my dad became disabled where we danced to Somebody to Love. I loved it when he spun me around. This scene always makes me tear up.
Thinking about naming my sweet baby boy Cole based on this movie alone. What a show of true fatherly love even through strife. Ugh. Gets me EVERY time.
+sha11235 My Dad Loved this Movie From what my mom tells me. ( I lost my Dad to Lung cancer back on Dec 13, 2006 ) I Was 15 years old At the time when he died. My Dad was 59 When he died and My dad also loved the Movie "Simon Birch" too. I'm Currently 25 year's old.
My brother is deaf as well and I've played and sung to him and he puts his hand on my acoustic as I play and sing, I know he knows that I'm playing to him and he loves it.
+dirtymexican138 that is so awesome! unfortunately my little sis passed away about a month ago, such a beautiful little girl. i play the drums, and i think its time to move my kit into my brothers room to play for em
I can't watch this movie enough as it reminds me of going to high school in the mid-sixties. They got it so right. And this scene moves me to tears every single time.. something about the way Dreyfus carries the song . The words alone will bring strong men to their knees.
I like this movie. I watched it when I took sign language classes back in 2007 at UC college. My 12 1/2 year-old son just started sign language classes this past Wednesday and I ordered this movie at the library so he can watch it.
no it isnt, though it's obvious that he's not professionally trained, just as its equally obvious that he's having difficulties with the emotions the song invokes but not overdone. The entire sequence strikes me as very realistic which is why i love it so.
@@colinmackinnon696 Oh its so stupid - Lennon was fecked up on LSD and Heroin for YEARS - hes the one who wrote the best beatles songs - he needed heroin to get of LSD and then a kid to get off heroin - if he had have lived past JUST FORTY there is no doubt in my mind at all him Julian would have made up and been best friends. You have to remember - his life was taken. His plans were destroyed - all that work to get clean - just to get shot to death.... Im 37 I couldnt imagine being that famous in that time and knowing how to wade the waters.
I saw this when I was really young, and for the longest time, I could only remember this scene. Every once in a while, I'd hear something close to it, but it wouldn't bring this movie up. Eventually I gave up hope on ever finding the name of the movie, but now, somewhere around 15 years later, I finally know what the movie is and I intend to watch it tomorrow.
I realize you know the name of the film already, but Mr. Holland's Opus is the name, indeed. And what a magnum opus it was for Richard Dreyfus, cast and crew....
This movie is wonderful. Saw it in the movie theater with my mother. Cried a lot. My mother texted me a little bit ago this song is so beautiful. I am going to use it for a video I am making on the iMovie app on iPhone for my nephew/godson’s first year on earth. The first lyric 30 seconds of the song I will use pictures of my brother holding his son.
Chris...I'm old school, and proud of it. I'm also a "band geek" (as my son-in-law puts it). My band director had a profound effect on me. I met up with him in later years (I was a teen of the 60's), and had an opportuity to tell him so...as did many of my former band-geek classmates at our 50th Class reunion. You see, musical memories are not only for the young.
My dad showed me this many years ago. We both really enjoyed it. While he could never play music himself he was VERY into music and like the Dreyfus character particularly into The Beatles. It's five years ago that he passed away and I'm sitting in my apartment getting ready for my wedding. I just hope he's here in spirit with us.
Richard Dreyfuss is actually pretty good at singing. I kry like a baby every time #RIPJOHNLENNON For me that's dealing with the loss of a father, this is an incredibly touching scene for me
Mr. Dreyfuss is an exceptional actor! He made a perfect interpretation! I love that movie too and after watching not stopped watching the movies that Mr. Dreyfuss appeared! I love the work of this man! That makes me very, very successful!
I just put on UA-cam "Mr Holland's Opus" looking for clips and stuff and when I scrolled down and just saw the title I already started getting misty, dammit.
My dad always sang this song to me since I was little. We buried him today and right now I watched this video in bed being so thankful and grateful for how much he loved me.
I cry every time I here this song because this song reminds me of the time I was in the hospital that was a terrible time for me. I was 5 years old when I had my cancer and I know that no child or adult ever wants to go through what I had I will always believe and pray to god for helping me with my cancer. My cancer and my time in the hospital is unforgivable to me.
Mr. Holland's Opus film picked a very good song for the last song for the film "IT WAS THE SONG BEAUTOFUL BOY BY JOHN LENNON" I cried every time I hear that song.
I watched this movie so many times, I've lost count. This song and this scene changed my life as a Mother and the life of my young boy, who grew up to be and still is, a phenomenal young man. I remember an expressionless face. I found as a parent, they may not always get it at that moment, in our moment. They may not always listen, but they "hear" us. If We try, keep trying, if We are fortunate enough to be Blessed, Never lose Hope, Remain Constant, Pray.... They will get it. NEVER GIVE UP! ** I still cry to this day, every time. Kudos Richard Dreyfuss
@bluedragonfire, That's usually the case. Those that are trained or very good singers usually find it harder to sing off-key. For someone, even a character, who revolves around music and knew how to hold a note, that must have been so difficult for Richard.
I have dear friends whose son lost his hearing as a baby The dad treated his son and the situation in a similiar way to how Mr Hollannd treated his son and their sitaution He was MOVED TO TEARS IN THE CINEMA at this movie and CHANGED - EMBRACED THE IDEA OF SIGN, ETC IM moved to tears just typing this Ive ALWAYS LOVED this movie from the word 'go" But when i learned of this , it took it to another level Wow
I saw this movie in an asl 2 class i was taking and it's been well over a year. Every single time i hear "beautiful boy" i hear this scene and im not an overly emotional person but i nearly cry each time.
This scene right here is how I became a fan of The Beatles. Mom made me watch this and I loved it. I searched the song, Beautiful Boy on youtube and got further and further into the music of The Beatles as soloist and as one and still today I'am a HUGE Beatle's fan.
been a Dreyfuss fan for yrs .this movie didn't really have a chance for any awards because they chose to see the struggles of teachers and the funding for arts . He can really sing .
I love this movie and this song it makes me cry every time and this ocean reminders me of why I love signing in the first place even though I am going to be 17 on May 13 2014
Beckman high school 2014 . I was 14 fresh man in hs , young and dumb , my avid teacher played this movie and this scene got embedded in the back of my head . Thank you miss heron for showing us this beautiful movie 🍿 I miss all you guys in my class wish I could go back again I’ll never forget you guys or this movie .
I remember when i took band in the 6th grade and the teacher was like "There's this movie that a lot of us band teachers like but none of you have seen it." And he named this movie and little kid me was like "OMG I LOVE THAT MOVIE!" And he was so shocked lol. And ofc nobody knew what was going on and just looked at me weird but that was one of the coolest moments in my life lol
I love this movie from both the hardships of being a teacher who cares for music but has to deal with school "prioritizing" budget( my Marching band had those times sadly) to the real life depiction of how hard it is to raise not only a child but one who is deaf. Not that deaf or any different kind of person is bad but I love that the film doesn't just make the dad and or mom out to be uncaring or the super parent who can handle any child. I prefer to see some of the hardships so I can try and empathize with the characters. sorry for long comment when I get talking about something i like I will really talk lol
I haven't been able to take care of my son in quite some time. And I finally see the chance over the horizon. I thought of this and listened to it. I'm so happy I did. I get to be dad again. I'm so waiting patiently for the chance.
When I watched this movie it motivated me to get into ASL, now I'm in my third year of ASL and I'm fluent. Back then I didn't really appreciate the Beatles but just this year I've gotten REALLY into them and I adore this, because there isn't many deaf movies and one of the few good ones has the Beatles. I just love the combination, the deaf world and the best music there ever will be.
My sons name is Cole. I sing this to him when I put him down for bed and I make sure to put his name in just like here. Some things just seem meant to be.
How Richard Dreyfuss never won an academy award /Oscar for this movie really puzzles me. I can’t think of anyone else who could have played this part better than he did. Such a touching emotional movie from start to finish.
Probably because the whole movie was trying a little too hard to earn an Oscar.
Greg_n_Christy how this movie isn’t huge baffles me
He was nominated for an Academy Award Best Actor for Mr Holland's Opus but lost to Nicolas Cage for his performance in Leaving Las Vegas
Academy Award and Oscar are the same thing, friend.
Matthew Holmes I liked both performances and would have voted similarly.
This is such a beautiful scene. The break in his voice towards the end gets me every time.
me too...

I agree
I saw this is the movies with my dad when I was very young and I remember crying a lot.
Frankly I hated this scene > : ( HE SHOULD HAVE HAD WILL SMITH SMACK HIS ASS!!!!!!
A man who dedicated his whole life to his passion for music, loving it enough to weather every hardship and the political scheming of his school, passing it on to whole generations of students, but unable to share it fully with own son.

Nathan Johnson so beautiful said! Just perfect..
❤❤❤one of my very fave movies ever!!!
could not have said it better myself
He should have gotten an Oscar and Grammy for this Masterpiece.
I feel my heart squeeze when he sings the part... "can hardly wait to see you grow" and John Lennon was robbed of that.
John Lennon didn't give a fuck about his kids. Especially Julian.
I absolutely love the look on Cole's face throughout this scene. A turning point in the relationship between father and son.
So true
He got so lost in his work and neglected cole as a side effect, nobody believed he could ever reconcile with his deaf son who he truly loved. Such a Heart wrenching moment when he became completely vulnerable in front of his colleagues, friends, family, to reach out to his son and show him he’s not forgotten.

He's a deadbeat!
It doesn't matter how old you get, hearing that my Dad loves me and is proud of me never gets old.
I miss my father who loved me and taught me so many lessons in life , one he never stopped loving me , showed me what a father is and now I have had a blessing having my son who is our world my wife and I love every minute life moves fast ...make it about loving your family they are Gods gift to us
I wonder what that feels like...
@@DesiGalCrochet Have a wonderful week.
I hope you have a reason to smile today😁🤗🌷🦒
My father died when I was 7, and nothing has shaped my life more than the loss of my person. I wish I had him back, everyday.
Amen to that.
I cried at Cole's expressionless face. Gets me every time.
I always cry every time...
Mee too

This part always makes me cry. We watched it in ASL and there I was balling my eyes out over how touching this was
I watched it in my asl class as well perfectly fits I hope every asl class shows it.
if you dont cry, at least a single tear in this scene, you have no heart.
love this movie! have two deaf siblings and this movie gets me every time

A great scene from a great film. One of the best of 1995. Why on Earth does this not have a Blu-Ray release yet?!
This was my very favorite movie for years. Beautiful story about appreciating what you have.
I can't watch this movie enough as it reminds me of going to high school in the mid-sixties. They got it so right.
And this scene moves me to tears every single time.. something about the way Dreyfus carries the song . The words alone will bring strong men to their knees.

This is my 850th tear. My 849th smile. That's how much this movie and scene means to me.😭Aww. My son is deaf and mute. hugged me after watching it.😂
This is the only piece of media that can surefire make me tearjerk in under 5 minutes.
only a real man cries in this scene.
I love this version the most and the film is brilliant.
no it isnt, though it's obvious that he's not professionally trained, just as its equally obvious that he's having difficulties with the emotions the song invokes but not overdone. The entire sequence strikes me as very realistic which is why i love it so.
He deserved an Oscar. He did a marvelous job!
Oh my… I think I started crying in the very first seconds… 😭 so touching ❤
This scene makes me bawl everytime. Such a tender love song from a father to his child.

What's wrong with 'old school"? We learned values that young people today will probably never experience.

Beautiful scene, beautiful song, beautiful movie.
I love this movie from both the hardships of being a teacher who cares for music but has to deal with school "prioritizing" budget( my Marching band had those times sadly) to the real life depiction of how hard it is to raise not only a child but one who is deaf. Not that deaf or any different kind of person is bad but I love that the film doesn't just make the dad and or mom out to be uncaring or the super parent who can handle any child. I prefer to see some of the hardships so I can try and empathize with the characters. sorry for long comment when I get talking about something i like I will really talk lol
Richard Dreyfuss best role ever
I haven't been able to take care of my son in quite some time. And I finally see the chance over the horizon. I thought of this and listened to it. I'm so happy I did. I get to be dad again. I'm so waiting patiently for the chance.
One of the greatest films ever made. Richard Dreyfuss - Absolute champion and Legend.
When I watched this movie it motivated me to get into ASL, now I'm in my third year of ASL and I'm fluent. Back then I didn't really appreciate the Beatles but just this year I've gotten REALLY into them and I adore this, because there isn't many deaf movies and one of the few good ones has the Beatles. I just love the combination, the deaf world and the best music there ever will be.
Moving song, lovely film, pretty scene... wonderful Dreyfuss!!!!
My sons name is Cole. I sing this to him when I put him down for bed and I make sure to put his name in just like here. Some things just seem meant to be.
This scene will stay with me forever. A brilliant film, throw in one of the best songs ever written, a fantastic actor and well.....
Why am I cutting onions while watching this...
He should have one the oscar.
Man, having a dad looks awesome.
Damn, I always get all teared up whenever I see this. I love this movie
