start thinking

Rating: 10/10 (16 January 2019)

The film was published before the book. The book based on the screenplay. It was published in 1959. It plays in Vermont.
The film "Dead Poets Society" is about a school called "Walton Academy" where boys are taught very strictly and with a lot of discipline. But there is one teacher who teaches the students to be free thinkers. He does not care about consequences.
A large roll is John Keating who is played by Robin William. He is a young English teacher who is different from the other teachers. He tries to inspire the students. His motto is "Seize the day". Also important is he Headmaster Mr. Noland. He is a contraire to Mr. Keating because he is very strict and traditional. The most important student is Neil Perry. He is a boy who is like a leader of his friends. His father puts a lot of pressure on him. Neil suffers under this.
In my point of view the way of Mr. Keating's teaching is a good way because he is open minded and motivating. He wants that the students live their life extra ordinary. They should have an own point of view. That is what I like.
The film is well accomplished, because it shows how a very strict school is. Moreover you can imagine better what you really want in life. You are stimulated to think more about your life. Maybe you change something in your life because you remember that it is not imagination.
I can recommend watching the film. It isn't a predictive film because it has a surprising turn. This film never gets boring. To sum up one can say that the film has a great motto "Seize the day" and this is relevant for everyone's life. Everybody can be someone great. You only have to try it. So watch the film and learn from it.
