I didn't get it

Rating: 1/10 (24 July 1999)

Please forgive me, I didn't get it! I didn't understand why everyone swoons over this movie! When you read the reviews of this film (even from IMDb members)like, "this is the greatest movie I've ever seen!," it makes me wonder why I had to sit through it a second time just to see what I had to have missed! Nope, I still didn't get it! And I like Robin Williams! I liked Garp! I even liked him as that doctor in "Awakenings" who gave El Dopa to Robert DeNiro!
Maybe I understand all too well... maybe, just maybe the people who swoon over "Dead Poets"share this movie's ideologies. I happen to agree with a IMDb member's comments calling this movie "manipulative." Overall, Dead Poets Society is a movie that drowns in it's own hypocrisy when it attempts to educate it's viewers of their absolute definition of what is good and what is evil. I gave it a 1 out of 10!
