So much more

Rating: 10/10 (26 March 2008)

Something this page doesn't inform you about Dead Poet's Society is the astute use of little-known or unknown actors and their top notch performances or the fact that it received four nominations at the Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay.
Robin Williams used this film as a vehicle for serious acting rather than the comedic roles and stand-up he was so popular for and he did a masterful job. Anybody that thinks it's easy for someone to go from comedy into serious roles ought to take a good look at this film if they haven't.
