Seize the Day,

Rating: 9/10 (5 July 2012)

Dead Poets Society is a brilliant movie with a well developed plot and an outstanding cast. It is a powerful and inspirational film with very sweet, true messages that apply to the lives of everyone, to seize the day, make your life extraordinary and to follow your dreams. The complexities and challenges facing this are also chronicled here, as there will always be people holding you back from being who you want to be.
The only issue I really had with this movie was that there were far too many young adults to follow that none of them, other than Neil, are properly developed. We do not get a huge amount of scope for the rest of them, I certainly would liked to have seen more development there.
Robin Williams is, of course, the movies highlight, he plays the inspirational teacher John Keating, easily one of the greatest characters ever written for a film. Willliams gets the opportunity to deliver all levels of performance, he has dramatic scenes, comedic ones, he gets to do impressions. He showcases all of his talents with Keating while still delivering a pure, honest performance, as well as terrific chemistry between himself and the younger cast members.
The message of the film is strong, evident and inspirational, it does not sugarcoat the challenges of concurring your dreams and it shows how happy it can truly make you. Heartwarming, dramatic and very powerful, I would highly recommend Dead Poets Society to anyone looking for a good drama.
At an exclusive prep school, the arrival of an unconventional English teacher changes the lives of a group of young students with his wise and positive outlook on life.
Best Performance: Robin Williams
