Whether its a teacher or a parent, gaps in communications with those who are supposed to teach and mentor us, can render the whole learning process meaningless. so having a teacher knowing exactly the hardships students of Welton Academy go through, who tries to bridge this gap can really affect these students' way of thinking.
Dr. Keating -portrayed by the brilliant Robin Williams- decided to discard the creativity-depriving teaching methods used in literature that are aiming at making it into a science that can be translated to rules and equations, and to plant a seed of individuality and opinion based thoughts in the minds of his students, and to teach them to seize the day and give their lives meaning or 'Carpe Diem'.
I loved watching the enthusiastic teacher interact with his students, where every lesson was one that you learn from experiencing life with everything it has to offer, and every lesson can change the way you live your life. But they weren't just words these lessons,every single one of them was given with the utmost care and delivered in a creative manner.
I also loved how the students started living their lives after that, how realizing their own mortality gave more value to the time they had on earth, a thought that should never leave any of our heads, displayed by these young boys in a very daring and entertaining manner.
Of course this display of character growth was allowed due to the amazing performances of Robert Sean, Ethan Hawke, Josh Charles and Gale Hansen. All of which of course pale in comparison to Robin Williams' inspiring performance that can inspire even the viewers of the movie let alone the students.
And of course many of the scenes of the movie are heart-warming from the teacher providing guidance to his students, to students seizing the day, to a memorable movie ending. I was surprised by the dark and realistic turn of events that happened but it gave the movie and the ideals it inspires a link to the real world.
the soundtrack however is barely noticeable with the exception of a few scenes like the ending, and the fact that the death of Neil was due to his own lack of will to communicate with his father, of course the harshness of his father was a major cause but at that night that was his chance to finally communicate with his father but he didn't, so at least he died after finishing his master piece to immortalize something that he loved into this world.
I highly recommend this movie for everyone its really enjoyable, full of great scenes and is full of inspirational quotes, but as you watch it don't wait for events and plots, just strap back and enjoy the ride.
