Inspiring would be the best used word to describe this film

Rating: Null/10 (7 December 1999)

Dead Poets Society is like The Shawshank Redemption, it's so many different things at once. It's uplifting, inspiring, dramatic, inspiring, emotional, inspiring, humorous, and did I mention inspiring? It's probably one of the best dramas that have came out over the past 10 years, and I must say those who actually gave this film a 1 are probably the most idiotic down-right morons to ever review a film. Robin Williams performance is alone worth a 7 not to mention the younger cast that's so good you just can't find in films today. Peter Wier is an outstanding director, known well for launching Mel Gibson's career in Gallipoli and also Jim Carrey's first dramatic performance in The Truman Show. The film moves at a rather slow pace and you don't realize how powerful it is until you reach the last 45 minutes of the film where the climax takes place. There is so much to say about this film but one must see it for themselves. It seems all schools show this film now as it is a prime example of an inspirational movie. A must see.
