The ultimate victory for the human spirit!

Rating: 10/10 (5 March 2002)

It's a text book in film narration. Absolutely away from the regular cliches, every moment in the film wants you to know more and learn more... just like the films belief " To teach is to learn twice". Every time u feel that it is the end and from within u want more... the director gives it to u. Not only does the film teach u to respect your teachers but also opens your eyes to see the need for music and other arts as an important part of our curriculums. It speaks of not only a tear jerking relationship between Cole and Mr. Holland but also of his effect on the various characters he comes across. How he not only changes their lives for the better but also accomplishes in achieving his own dreams. It brings to us a thought that life is not just a chance... u have choices available... pick the right ones and see your dreams turning to reality. When u need something so desperately the entire universe will conspire to give it to u. Three Cheers to Mr. Holland's Opus!
