Blubbed like a Big Baby...

Rating: 10/10 (3 January 2001)

I was told before going to see Dead Poet's Society that it could be quite an emotional film with many saying that they cried as they watched it.
So I went and watched. Some very emotional stuff, but I never felt close to tears...
Until the end. The final scene of the film is truly, truly wonderful and I have honestly never heard a cinema audience weep so openly as I did on that occasion.
It was a perfect ending. It didn't need anything more. You didn't need to know what happened to Keating. You didn't need to know what happened to the boys. Everything was summed up in the few words put over in the scene and Williams' final "Thank you, Boys".
