a special concert

"Life is Beautiful because of You" is a story about a music teacher.

Holland is a composer with big dreams. Because of the need for composition time and a living, he went to a middle school to become a music teacher. Gradually, he fell in love with the job from the state of being at a loss, and devoted himself to it, and finally made himself an excellent music teacher in 30 years.

On the day he had to retire, the world was full of peach and plum. The previous students have given their teachers and life mentors great gifts: a special concert was held for the teachers.

Already the current governor, his students said at the opening ceremony of the concert: Mr. Holland, it is said that he often writes symphony music, which can make him famous. But he didn't develop and he didn't become famous. Maybe he thought he was a failure. But he was wrong. Because I think his success is greater than fame. Look around you. Is there anyone here who has not been influenced by you? All because of you, we are all better people. We are your symphony orchestra, we are the notes and melody of your work, we are the movement of your life!

What is success? Horan's success is to light the hearts of the students. Free them from chaos. Let the students gradually fall in love with music from the initial sloppy arrogance, ignorance of music, and out of tune; let them understand that life requires dreams and the pursuit of dreams.

Mr. Holland is a lamp in itself. He loves music, composing, conducting, and instrumental music in one. His own talent is a huge treasure trove and a magnet for students.

Mr. Holland is also a compass. He has been pursuing his dreams all his life, and he never gave up composing when he became a teacher. He told talented students, do you have a dream? If so, you should go to college, go to New York, not stay in the family business after high school.

Now, thirty years seem to be at the flick of a finger, and Mr. Holland is about to leave the podium. The curtain of the concert was slowly opened, and a banner of "Goodbye, Mr. Holland" was hung in the air. The students who used to be Holland were already sitting on the orchestra pit with their musical instruments. The audience burst into applause.

The governor held the baton in the palm of his hand and signaled to Holland.

Horan stepped onto the stage, took the baton, solemnly, and the eagle struck the sky.

This is the final command, the most sincere love of the students to the teacher, and the most beautiful curtain call of Holland's teaching career.

Hats off to Horan!

    In fact, the profession of teacher is very difficult.

    Watching the movie on the 20th anniversary of the release of "Life is Beautiful for You": At the beginning, the sweet music made me think that this film will be as deep as "The Bronx Story". The helpless, affectionate story is true for me. There are not many surprises that shine, but it is still worth recommending to friends who like to watch inspirational movies. … The long shot of Holland’s new job was great; at the end of Governor Ling’s speech, the students did not move their mouths, so the sound effects were made incorrectly.
