so heartbreaking that part when the kid asks how Beethoven knew which note was which, and Mr. Holland says, "Well, Beethoven wasn't born deaf" and looks off, clearly thinking of his son.
i don't remember this part. i'm going to have to rent it today and watch it. i hate the part when john lennon dies and he's all upset and he thinks cole doesn't understnad and cole flips out and is like of course i know who john lennon and the beatles are. just because i can't hear music doesn't mean i don't know what he stood for and all. love it!
