A must see for all literature lovers!

Rating: 10/10 (21 January 2003)

I first saw this movie in a literature class back in high school. It was the only movie my teacher showed that year and she showed it for a reason; poetry is powerful and important.
This movie follows the lives of a handful of young men at a conservative private academy. A new English teacher-and former student of the academy-(Robin Williams) shakes things up. He teaches the students not just to READ literature, but to LOVE and APPRECIATE it. However, the student's new found love for poetry causes some problems for them.
Dead Poets Society contains important lessons on life, love and art that, in my opinion, no other movie has ever captured. It is a must see for all literature lovers, English teachers and anyone who has ever stood up for what they wanted.
