Seize the day – The essence of life

Rating: 9/10 (7 August 2017)

John Keating came to the Welton Academy as a new English teacher. He is a unique teacher so his students were puzzled at first, but they begin adoring. One day, one of the students found Keating established the poetry club called "Dead Poets Society" and then, some students decide to reestablish that club.
In this film, some poems that are related to life were quoted. In particular, Horace's "Carpe diem" (Seize the day) is the theme of this film so through Keating and students' words and behaviors, this film taught me how should I live my life. Some core students are in trouble in this film so they undergo mental conflicts, and like them, we also be needed to decide carefully for our lives. So, Keating and great poets lead them and us. You'll understand that poems of life tell us what is the essence of our lives if you read "Carpe diem" or watch this film. This film is 1989's film, but the young should watch this.
To avoid spoiler, I won't say in detail, but some scenes show characters' emotion very well. Actors behavior, words, shooting scenes strategy, I could understand characters' feeling from them easily.
I think this masterpiece will teach you about life. Please watch this.
