Powerful

Rating: 7/10 (13 September 2001)

First time teacher MADE us watch this in school and I wasn't so excited first - the title isn't the best to make young people interested... It took time to notice that this is a good movie, there are jokes and sad scenes. Also this is one of those movies that give me the strange energic feeling, strength to climb up the walls... When the boys climb on their desks saying "o captain, my captain", I feel like doing the same! And then the end. I feel I can understand Neal, strongly hate his father who ruins his dream. I know they are only characters but- Second time watching this I started crying BEFORE you-know-what-if-you've-seen-this.
