How can you say it's an overrated film?

Rating: Null/10 (10 September 2004)

How exactly can you say Dead Poets Society isn't a great film? Everyone i know who has seen it has cried when watching it, and more than 90% of those people said it was the best ending ever created in the film industry. Yes, it was released in 1989, so the story line won't be as thrilling as the ones we get in our days, but its still a great film! You would be surprised how many of my out-of-school friends go to either a boarding school or a grammar school and get pressured into doing things that their parents want them to do; so don't say it's not realistic, because me and other people know that it is very close to reality, plus in the late 80's there were probably a lot of families, parents and children going to schools like this. If you wern't there, you wouldn't know from experience, but it's more than obvious about how things were run in those days.
