Dead poets society review
My Rating: 9.8/10
IMDb Rating: 8/10 Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 85% Metacritics Rating: 79/100 My Favorite Quotes: 1. (Standing on his desk) "Oh captain, my captain." - Todd Anderson 2. "They're not that different from you, are they? Same haircut. Full of hormones, just like you. Invincible, just like you feel. The world is their oyster. they believe they are destined for great things, just like many of you, their eyes are full of hope, just like you. Did they wait until it's too late to make from their lives even one iota of what they were capable? Because, you gentleman, these boys are now fertilizing daffodils. But if you listen real close, you can hear them was for their legacy to you. Go on, lean in. Listen, you here it? Carpe...... Here it? Carpe, carpe diem, seize the day boys, make your lives extraordinary." - John Keating 3. "Two roads diverged in the wood and I, took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference." - John Keating A lesson on life It is not very often that you can find a movie that can change your perspective on life. Especially in today's Hollywood, where the only thing people want to watch is guns, explosions, and cheesy one liners. That is the very reason why I like this film so much. Outstanding characters and a semi relatable plot combine to make one breathtaking movie. The unbelievably great performances lead by Robin Williams leave for a very love able storyline where everything matters. This movie has so many things that can be taken away and applied to your everyday life. In particular the Latin term "Carpe Diem", which mean seize the day. In life we as young people tend to do everything that everybody else wants us to and not what we want for ourselves. This is very prevalent in Dead Poets Society. Another Latin term that I love, an believe should have been Thrown into this film is Memento Mori, which means remember you will die. Anyway this is such a great movie and it should be shown In every single English class around the world. Unfortunately social media is brainwashing teenagers and making it more and more difficult for them to watch movie and take away anything valuable. I highly, highly recommend this movie, it will without a doubt be in my top 100 movies of all time. |
