Better
than
most
school
films,

As
with
many
High
School
English
classes,
we
had
to
watch
this
over
the
past
few
days.
Unlike
most
"school"
movies,
however,
I
quite
enjoyed
it.
Robin
Williams
was
great
as
usual,
a
pleasant
change
from
his
typical
over-the-top
comedy
roles.
He
is
one
of
my
favourite
actors,
as
he
can
play
so
many
types
of
roles
so
perfectly.
The
supporting
cast
was
great
as
well,
each
having
their
own
moments
to
shine.
The
film
had
a
very
good
message,
to
always
stand
up
for
what
you
believe
in,
and
to
seize
the
day,
Carpe
Diem!
Part
of
the
ending
bothered
me,
to
avoid
spoilers
I
wont
go
into
why,
though
the
final
scene
certainly
made
up
for
it.
Overall,
I
was
pretty
surprised
with
this
movie.
Who
knew
they'd
actually
make
us
watch
something
good
in
school!
7/10

There's so much good about this movie. The first time I saw it I watched it solely for plot and I loved it. Now I've seen it again and watched Peter Weir's filming and timing which is also great. Robin Williams is a terrific actor when he's serious. He proved it in Good Will Hunting but he proved it first here. If you liked that movie and your liking it had something to do with Williams than you will like this one. The plot is about a number of students who are taught by Williams about life. They are taught how to enjoy themselves. This ends up causing great controversy among the heads of the school. The students are terrific and even the dialogue is great. This is a movie that I can't imagine anyone not liking. It is good in every way.

There are certain films that get under your skin, never to come out. They change your life, subtly altering your perceptions of reality, almost always for the better.

Dead Poets Society is one of those few films.

I saw the movie back when I was in High School. I had a teacher who told us that we really needed to watch it; in fact, it was our "homework" for the day. We didn't need to bring back a report, or talk about it in class. All he asked from us was to watch it, make up our own mind about it, and that was it. As you can imagine, many friends of mine didn't watch it at all; I did. And yes, I feel I changed a bit from there on.

Back when you are young, you never really stop to think what in the world you are doing with your life. You simply live for the day, hope your grades will be enough to pass, and that's it. Long term thinking involves maybe flirting with a girl. Nothing more. What this film showed me was that we have the responsability and the joy of being alive in this planet. That we are dust, and we will go back to it, so we have precious little time to make a difference. That we have a moral obligation to "seize the day, and make our lives extraordinary" (my favorite quote in all movie history). That the world, basically is ours. That the only limitations are within ourselves, and that we owe it to us to fight, to rebel against conformity, to change what we hate and keep what we love. That living in this world is a beautiful responsability, and that only cowards dare not to change it for the better.

The fact that the cast was basically my age, and was passing through the same dilemmas and situations I was facing made it all so much more powerful.

So here I sit, 12 years from that day. I still don't think I have seized the day completely. But I keep on trying; I always will. I wonder how many people were transformed by this gem of a movie; I hope many.

10 out of 10. A definitive masterpiece.
