An Excellent, Emotional Movie

Rating: Null/10 (20 February 2002)

"The Dead Poets Society" is truly a wonderful, in-depth and very moving masterpiece that provides an excellent script, excellent acting and an excellent storyline. Robin Williams is truly magnificent in his portrayal of English teacher John Keating, a charismatic individual who encourages his students in a strict and traditional prestigious school to break out of their conformist mode, aspire to new heights and to "Carpe Diem" -seize the moment. The rest of the cast -including a very young Ethan Hawke-also contribute excellent and believable performances to this movie and this guarantees that it has a very powerful impact on the viewer. I was very close to tears at the conclusion of this movie -and it takes a lot for movies to have that impact on me. An emotional and heart-wrenching film that will touch and inspire you
