Speaking of good movies. One of my all time favorites is Mr. Holland’s Opus. Yeah, it’s a relatively old one, but gosh, it makes me feel good, especially at the end when Mr. Holland’s Opus is played.
This movie, too, like The Blind Side, shows what can happen when you take an interest in other people and do things to try to help them. It shows how a little kindness, a little personal investment, can pay off with great rewards for the other person – and for you, even if you don’t see it at the time.
It also shows how we can make our grandiose plans for our lives – or even just normal plans – and while we may never achieve what we thought we wanted for our lives, instead we’ve actually reaped something far greater.
If you’ve never seen Mr. Holland’s Opus, I recommend it for an evening’s viewing. It might be considered a ‘chick flick’ but even for you guys who feel like you’re not achieving what you wanted out of life, it’s good to watch. It’s a good reminder that, as a line in the movie states, “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.”
