Dead Poets' Society is by far one of the best movies I have ever witnessed in my 17 years of life. No movie has more impacted my life on a daily basis as this one has. The reflection on what society expects of us that is consistent throughout the entire movie is intriguing and presented in a likable way. This extravagant movie is filled with quotes you will hold onto for a lifetime, helping you to cope with the distressing situations that life will bring. Each character's plot line speaks about another type of existence, proving that we all have our own individual lives. Each person's plot is an extension of the theme that life is more than a career. Each person's hope and dreams are hindered by society and its demands on the individual. An outlet for this stress is the Dead Poets' Society, which is a collective group of boys in the private school. They write poetry and songs, sharing with one another. They express the demands on them as teenagers in this world: "Laughing, crying, tumbling, mumbling, Gotta do more, gotta be more. Chaos screaming, chaos dreaming, Gotta be more, gotta do more." This along with several other lines is what intrigues me most about this movie. The poetry is written so artfully to fit its message, and succeeds wonderfully in this outstanding movie.
