You Better Wake Up And Pay Attention: The Best High School Struggle Movies - Page 7
Music Of The Heart
The King of Scare, Wes Craven, is known for his horror films but the one time he stepped outside of the genre and directed a feel-good film, he earned his only Oscar nominations for any of his movies. Meryl Streep starred as Roberta Guaspari, who is hired as a substitute violin teacher for a school in the heart of Harlem in Music of the Heart. The music program enjoyed a successful 10-year run before it was threatened by budget cuts. Streep, who can seemingly do anything, learned how to play Bach’s “Concerto 2” for violins for the 1999 film.
