Dead Poets Society- Film Review

Rating: 8/10 (23 April 2013)

"Dead Poets Society" – A dramatic film which makes you think about your own life.
"Seize the day!" This statement is mentioned by one of the protagonists of the film, Mr. Keating, during his first English lesson at Welton Academy.
If you are looking for a film, which makes you thoughtful about your life and your own decisions, you should have a look at "Dead Poets Society". This film portrays a few students of Welton Academy, who begin thinking by themselves and living their own lives.
After the boys found out that Mr. Keating had taken part in a group named "Dead Poets Society" they become interested in poetry and decide to establish their own club. With the aid of this club and Mr. Keating's different attitude Neil and his friends develop their own wills and the wish of following their passions. By changing their ways of life they break the rules of the school and offend against the traditional four pillars of Welton as well as Neil's father's conceptions concerning Neil's future. Will everything be fine for Neil? To find out how the film ends you will have to view it yourself. Even though the film is a drama, it has some humorous parts and effects so that the atmosphere is not too depressing.
All in all, I can only recommend this film because it is classic and if I was asked to rate this film on a scale from zero to ten, I would give it 8 points. It is full of inspirations and shows changes in life.
