    Trailer for Mr. Holland's Opus.
    1965. Musician and composer Glenn Holland decides to switch gears in his career by taking a music teaching job at John F. Kennedy High School in order to have more free time to spend with his bride, Iris Holland, and compose, most specifically a symphony which has always been his dream to do. This career change is despite music rather than teaching being his passion, and having no experience in teaching beyond having a teaching certificate. He quickly learns that it is a job that he hates - largely because his students generally don't relate to music the way he does, and of where he and the music program fit within the pecking order of the school - but which he sticks with if only because of life circumstances. With some help most specifically from school principal Mrs. Jacobs, he understands he has to find the same passion that he has for music and translate that somehow into the way he relates to his work and to the students if he is to survive in this life. His teaching work over the years is seen at various specific stages, and against the backdrop of milestone events happening in the world. His job and dealing with students and the staff also affects his personal life, not only with Iris, but also with his son Cole (who is named after John Coltrane), who on the surface could not be more different than his father, and as such is someone to who Glenn has difficulties relating, and to that much wanted time to compose that symphony, which was the reason for taking the job in the first place.

    Had the honor of meeting Dreyfuss today at Cincinnati Comic Expo; truly an amazing man in person. So kind and told me this movie was one of his most honorable movies because he belives teachers are some of the hardest working people we have in this country.

    My husband and I created a slideshow tribute to "The Conductors", meaning the music teachers of his high school in a small town where the railroad was parts of their lives - outside of school. We chose "An American Symphony" by Glen Holland as the background music. Thank you to the cast, crew, and their families for a great film.

    Went to this movie not knowing what to expect and just loved it. I had a music teacher like him. He was my favorit teacher. He had a temper big time but he gave a damn. He was an anomaly in the 60s a Christian Lebanese. Broke my heart when he left to become an Evangelist. Just missed catching up to him half way across the country. By 1 dang day. Think he's passed now.

    Watched it when it first came out, as a kid. Throughout all my turmoil, I remembered it. Specific moments. Him cheating on his wife. The wife discovering the child was deaf. The realization for both of them. The child realizing, the father realizing, sound, is movement, and emotion, and far more then what either could have forseen. It changed my perception, and though my own disabled children were not deaf, they were nonverbal, and it was part of my learning, understanding, this movie.

      I don’t remember him cheating on his wife. I remember him feeling tempted to cheat, but resisting it. I need to watch the movie again. I definitely missed something.

      He didn’t cheat, he was tempted to go for his dream (that had been put off), with the young student singer going to New York, but he didn’t follow through with any of it. He didn’t cheat.

    The biggest point that this movie made ,to me, was how the arts program is always the first school program to be sacrificed
    If schools don’t have an arts program, they may as well shut down all programs.
    One I know my kids school would Never shut down would be the Football program….
    God Forbid !
    Can’t shut down a program that makes big money !
    The years my kids were in band
    They constantly did well
    The band programs still are.
    The football program has its ups and downs but the support is always there.
    Thanks to the community supporting both , both have thrived in many aspects.
    So have other areas in sports and arts.
    The minute any school administration forgets that !
    They have failed their community !

    I always loved Alicia Witt in this movie but didn't then recognize her right away when I saw her in later Hallmark movies. Her role here was wonderful! And now that she has lost her parents (December 2021, tragically), the line in this Trailer seems all the more meaningful.

    I watched this at my old Town down movie theater back when it was released in theaters and the movie film sadly broke at the end and was skipping in most parts but after 15 and 11 years later I got to watch it over and over in its entirety. I enjoyed every minute of it and richard Dreyfuss is one of my favorite actors

      I too, watched this movie in my old hometown theatre.
      In my younger days, that theater was my, home away from home.
      I revisited the town recently and where the Regent Theater once stood, is now a car park. Apparently, the theater burned down, several years ago, in the early hours and under suspicious circumstances.

    I just saw this film for the 1st time on free TV. I only saw the last 40 minutes but it was enough to leave an impact on me, especially the end of the film. It reminded me of a time that I went to my little boy's school assembly about 3 years ago. They announced that one of the teachers was leaving. The teacher stood in the audience and he just gave a bit of a wave and that was that. I kept watching and one of the male students in his class started crying. The teacher and other students tried to console the boy. All the students of that class had tears in their eyes. I was awestruck. I hope that teacher knew how special he was. A million dollars could not buy that. I still feel emotional just thinking about it even though it had nothing to do with me. Cherish the little things in life. And the special times. That's probably why we are here, anyway.

    I was in Jr. High in 98-99 and this must have been my band director's favorite movie. Every time he had a substitute or we had free time he would always put this movie in. We never got to watch the full thing of course, but thankfully I was able to watch it all tonight (thanks Disney+).. feel just a little old now haha. Such a great movie and it was nice to relive those memories in the band room watching bits and pieces of this movie, even if a few of us grumbled about it haha.

    Bro I have only seen Richard in Krippendorf‘s tribe and what about Bob. I am so not used to him being a emotional and deep character. I’m so used to laughing at him. This movie just shook me. I didn’t know that Richard was that type of actor, but I most certainly would not put it past him. My cousin recommended this to me like a week ago and yeah, this movie was deep. This was a good watch.😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

    Well when you take a moment to really examine musical compositions they are constricted by numbers and time, they all have heartbeats, we call them, _tempos_ .
    Just like a physician can use a heartbeat to determine if their patient is on a depressant or stimulant or even the species based on contigency to normal heartbeats, musician(s) must adhere to tempo of composer when playing a piece

    Make sure to bring a barf bag if you plan on making it to the end of this movie, Highschool Over Rated. On second thought, bring a second barf bag as that first one can fill up surprisingly quick from the endless corny dialogues and tired clichés.
