Rating: 10/10 (1 January 2013)

Not many movies force you to walk and think about the social interaction after you are done watching them. Dead Poets Society, however, raises so many questions in your mind such that you think about it hours and hours. A controversial teacher who do not like the traditional ways of teaching comes to a high school and breaks the school principles one after the other. His new way of teaching and interaction with the students raise the students' attention to his character. They find out that their innovative teacher used to belong to a group called "dead poets society", hence the name of the movie. Couple of the students decide to recreate that group . The movie presents that how the life of these students is affected by this new group. They feel alive and they start doing things that they couldn't imagine doing before. Students family and the school do not like this changes in the students and try to expel the teacher. In some ways the movie is trying to present the challenge between traditional principles and the modern methods.
