excellent film

Rating: Null/10 (11 February 2002)

This is a really good movie. I found Mr Keating, the teacher, to be very impressive. He taught his students to think for themselves and not to do what everyone else does. In his unconventional lessons they learned how not to conform to the others. My favorite scene from the film was when Todd Anderson, the shy student from whom his parents expected so much, decided to stand up on the table to show Mr Keating what he had learned and the other guys from the "Dead Poets Society" followed his example. I don´t see the movie having too many subplots. They make it interesting and you can identify with the characters. But I found that Neil Perry´s father and some of the teachers were shown a little exaggerated. Finally, I think that one statement of this movie is very important: "Seize The Day!"
