Great film that brought back a lot or memories

Rating: 10/10 (7 May 2010)

I think this is probably the best thing Richard Dreyfus has done. The story was great and reminded me of a teacher I had in high school who taught me the most important lesson of my entire life, as did Mr. Holland with Gertrude.
The scene of the funeral and later the death of John Lennon were very apropos to the story line. And when Holland learns that his own son loves music its just gets that much better.
I have and will continue to recommend this movie to anyone who will listen. Its a wonderful story of a man trying to cope with life and ending up impacting 100's of lives along the way.
