O captain! My captain! Thank you for teaching me to "carpe diem!"

I believe that every single person will, at one point of their lives, watch a movie that becomes a part of them. It runs in their blood and touches their very soul. Dead Poets Society was that movie to me. I watched it when I was 17, the same age as the guys in Welton, and I had never in my whole life related to a movie as well as I did to DPS. It hit so close to home. It almost felt as though the movie was made for me. After it ended I just felt this unexplainable pain in my chest about Neil and the other guys. At the same time it made me feel this feeling I've never felt before. A feeling of wonder and joy and happiness of being alive and being here. A feeling that is so good it cannot be explained. Thats when I realized that I had watched that movie... that movie that made me whole. I was born 10 years after this movie was released but no matter how old it is I know for sure that I would never be able to love another movie as much as I loved this masterpiece. How could I? For it had thought countless generations of people before me to "carpe diem" and it will continue to teach countless generations of people to "carpe diem ". It's legacy and beauty will never die for it will always be known as the movie that thought the great human race to seize the day and live life to the fullest.
