motivation,

Rating: 10/10 (7 November 2005)

every time i need motivation to do homework or i just want to be amazed by the power of language, particularly the English language and i don't feel like reading Nabokov, i know i can rely on dead poet's society to invoke in me a sense of passion for great literature, along with a great plot line that reflects the anxiety and tribulations we face as teenagers in a college-focused society - when all most want is to be able to branch out and be themselves. for me, i connected to todd, the shy boy who wants to write but finds himself unable to be confident in both the work and himself. he surrounds himself with passionate boys who step out especially charlie and neil, and he slowly learns to be more daring and to take risks seeing what oppression of a someone's dreams can do to a person's mind. i absolutely love this movie.
