Dead Poets Society

Rating: 10/10 (11 April 2017)

Dead poets society is one of the most powerful thought provoking movies i have ever seen which really challenges you to think about your own mortality and how to live your life to full .
The movie is set in the 1950s in an exclusive Vermont prep School when the students are graced with the presence of a new member of the teaching faculty named John Keating played by Robin Williams Mr Keating is not your usual kind of Teacher he teaches an English class full of dispirited and insecure young men and encourages them to think outside of the box ignoring years of Tradition at the prestigious school preferring his students to be free thinkers but will his influence rub off on his band of merry men ? .
The performances in the movie are of the highest caliber the late great Robin Williams shines as Keating , Robert Sean Leonard shines as a conflicted young man named Neil Perry a bright and articulate young man who desperately wants to be an actor but who can't escape the realm of his domineering Father who thinks any career in the Arts is unrealistic all of the young actors in the movie compliment one another tremendously well watching them be inspired by the methods of Mr Keating makes us in the audience feel like we're in the classroom being inspired along side them .
Overall Dead Poets society is a very special movie beautifully written expertly shot and memorably acted a film that says dare to be different and be your own person no matter who stands in your way .
