touching and inspiring ...

Rating: 8/10 (11 March 2002)

dead poets society is a movie ive been wanting to watch for a long time. finally made it and was pleasantly thrilled. the movie is wonderfully touching, with deft sensitive handling and an inspiring storyline.
the first half of the movie is wonderfully inspiring and elevating, though the latter half breaks down slightly and does get a little trite and cliched. though the magic of the movie is strong and effective. its beautifully scripted and the performances are very real and believable. robin williams as the teacher who impels his students to "seize the day" is excellent.
the movie is a must-watch for all dreamers and lovers of the arts - it is wonderfully heart-warming. and it has a lot of curiosity value as well, especially seeing ethan hawke from way back!!
all i can say is "seize the day". watch the movie
an inspiring 8!
