Mr. Holland’s Opus – (1995)

A man becomes a music teacher, and teaches music and stuff.

An adequate movie. It’s easily a high-caliber for the kind of movie it is. It’s just not my thing.

- On the left is John F. Kennedy.
- On the right is Ulysses Grant, of Grant High School (Portland, Oregon)

24:45 — John Coltrane
37:15 — I don’t think anyone really appreciates just how loud that would be for a fetus.
57:00 — So what’s with the horn?
1:11:30 — This seems like a military funeral. Why?
1:14:45 — Oh no, that character we’re so deeply invested in.

1:45:15 — Why do you smell like another woman?!
1:45:30 — John Lennon
- Why do people care?
1:48:30 — The Beatles
1:51:00 — And they’re acting like a bunch of retards.. signing in the middle of it.
1:55:30 — .. and I safely skipped the singing..
2:08:30 — .. and the pretty girl became a waitress in New York instead of a singer..
2:14:00 — I would have made that first moment a complete out-of-tune fuckup, just to begin with a laugh.
2:14:15 — The tune is complete shit and can be safely skipped. End the movie now.
