Teaches a lot

Rating: 8/10 (14 January 2019)

Dead Poets Society criticizes the strict, orthodox teaching methods, by using the Welton Academy in Vermont as a representative. Mr. Keating, an English teacher, teaches his students to be free-thinkers, without mentioning the consequences.
That way the movie does not only criticize tradition but also teaches the risks of Carpe Diem (Seize the day).
It features Robin Williams as John Keating, Norman Lloyd as Headmaster Gale Nolan, Kurtwood Smith as Mr. Perry, George Martin as Dr. Hager and many more.
John Keating is played very convenient by Robin Williams.
He plays the role of a modern, calm teacher and mirrors the future of teaching.
This movie is great, if you want to learn about Carpe Diem but also want a proving example why it is not always right and that you have to know the consequences.
