Description

In an age defined by crew cuts, sport coats, and cheerless conformity, he not only broke the mold ... he reinvented it. Academy Award(R) winner Robin Williams (Best Supporting Actor, GOOD WILL HUNTING, 1997) delivers an extraordinary performance in one of the most compelling motion pictures of all time. Williams stars as English professor John Keating, a passionate iconoclast who changes his students' lives forever when he challenges them to live life to the fullest and "Carpe Diem" -- seize the day! Keating's unconventional approach meets with irrepressible enthusiasm from his students, but the faculty at staid, exclusive Welton Academy prep school is, to put it mildly, not amused. Featuring a star-marking performance by Ethan Hawke, DEAD POETS SOCIETY will captivate and inspire you again and again.

A movie I enjoyed. Not for everyone.

A good movie, but a lot of crazy stories and thoughts surrounding. I liked Robin Williams, and pushing and supporting his class to go beyond.

Touched my heart on so many levels. Such a great movie!

Having been so disappointed in recent movies that I have watched, I chose an older one with a surefire lead actor, Robin Williams. To my delight, Robert Sean Leonard, who played Wilson on the TV series "House" played the lead young male, Neil Perry. Wilson was my second favorite character on the series next to House himself and he didn't disappoint at all in this movie.Anyway, this movie is so good that it makes me sad. Robin Williams truly makes me believe he a carefree, happy, seize the day type of person who is trying to teach freedom of choice and nonconformity to his students. Set in 1959, this movie is about a strict all boys boarding school and a new English teacher taking over from the longtime teacher who had been teaching there. Robin Williams as the teacher, John Keating, is just brilliant. Everything he says seems so natural and real rather than scripted.The boys are, naturally, enamored with this free spirit considering the very strict rules of the school and their parents. They learn so much about not conforming, taking chances, and seizing opportunities in front of them, even if they're scared. They grow up in ways that no school can teach.However, disaster strikes and it shakes the school and the class to its core. The ending left me in tears. The students had so much respect and love for their teacher that they were willing to risk punishment or even expulsion to stand up for their "captain". Not a minute is wasted on filler. The movie captured my attention and kept it until the end. It was a great experience. Too many movies these days are thrown together and open ended leaving the viewer to figure out the ending themselves. This one gives the viewer a very concrete ending that really says it all about Robin William's character, John Keating. I loved it.
