Carpe Diem!

Rating: Null/10 (31 July 2000)

Robin Williams is Professor John Keating who takes over an English poetry class. He is a revolutionary in that he tells his class to "suck the marrow out of life" and seize the day. I thought that this would be a drag from the title, but it is misleading in that it shows the lives of several students in the authoritarian school of 1950's America, which is at times humourous and sad.
Williams should play more of these kind of roles. He has lost his way a bit in recent times with such trash as "What dreams may come" and "Flubber". Check this movie out for some fine acting and a good story.
