A Wonderful Coming of Age Movie

Rating: Null/10 (10 January 2002)

This is one of those movie you fall in love with within the first few minutes of watching it. Everything about it is haunting: the setting, the actors' performances, and the story of course. Robin William's plays the teacher everyone hopes they can be blessed enough to have in their lifetime, inspiring and fiercely dedicated to his students. He does such a wonderful job that he succeeds in inspiring practically anyone who watches this movie as well! Though the ending is a bit too maudlin and seems aimed at making the viewer cry, the storytelling is gripping and the overall message of "Seize the day!" rings in your ears for days after, filling you with energy and renewed enthusiasm for life. Powerful stuff.
