Good film,but not an easy one to watch. Do not rent this if you are depressed in any way!!\nThe acting was absolulutly top notch from both big Sam and Laura Linney.

Wow that was an amazing movie,--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\n\n\n\n \nI'm the first to admit that I get a little sappy when writing about Dead Poets Society. I first saw the film during my senior year of high school, and 16 years later it's a movie that is still with me, one that I go back to time and time again.\n\nThere's a little bit of formula at work here: A stuffy rep school, 1950s, a collection of impressionable young boys, and a teacher that will change their lives. But there's something at work that turns what could have been a forgettable, droll piece of saccharine storytelling into a classic. Part of it is Robin Williams as Mr. Keating, a young English teacher that uses poetry to teach them how to "Sieze the day," to suck the marrow out of life, as Thoreau put it.\n\nThe poetry angle is an interested and unexpected one. And writer Tom Schulman and director Peter Weir have no confusion that the idea is a little corny. Putting a kid in front of the class, covering his eyes, and forcing him to free associate until he comes up with a verse about Walt Whitman? Sounds ridiculous, but it works. In fact, it's one of the most powerful scenes in the film.\n\nThat's because the kids in the film are just as good as Williams is here. Robert Sean Leonard is the ostensible star as Neil, a deeply repressed lad who's the class president type yet dreams of doing something artistic, despite the insistence by his father (Kurtwood Smith) that he become a doctor. And then there's roommate Todd Anderson (Ethan Hawke), an intensely shy young man who's attending Welton Academy for the first time this year and will be memorably brought out of his shell, fighting all the way, by Keating. The other students of note -- Josh Charles as a lovesick kid and Gale Hansen as the unforgettable rebel "Nuwanda" -- are equally apt.\n\nUltimately the film revolves around Neil's story, when he decides for the first time to defy his father and act in a local play -- as Puck, in A Midsummer Night's Dream, of all things. This leads to a series of catastrophic events that culminates in (spoiler alert from here on out) Neil's suicide and the scapegoating/firing of Keating for it.\n\nAt once uplifting and emotionally crushing, there's no way to leave this movie without wanting to somehow improve your life and follow Keating's advice by seizing the day. Every time I watch the film I'm compelled to complete some lingering project, plan a trip, move into a new house, or do something unforgettable. Weir's direction perfectly captures the 1950s mood -- an era of repression just on the verge of breaking wide open -- and Williams manages to keep his mania in check for the bulk of the film, trotting out an impression here or there when the story requires it.\n\nIn recent years, Dead Poets Society has become a curious platform for deconstruction and revisionism. Viewers wonder, among other things, whether Neil was so troubled because he was secretly gay. Whether Keating might genuinely be guilty of contributing to his death. Whether "Sieze the day" isn't such a great motto after all. I'm not actually supporting any of these ideas per se, but the latter-day ruminating gives the film more weight than you might otherwise think, and it makes the movie all the richer for it. \n\nI Give it 4 out of 5 stars lol

I agree with you on this one my daughters and I really love the movie and have watched it numerous times. We feel that it is a blooper and there are a couple more of them if you pay attention.

Just saw it.  There are some funny lines and parts.\nI don't think the dog stuffs add anything to the story.\nThere are also too many bad words especially spoken by kids.\nI like the sushi.... no time to cook part and a few things he did to the neighbor kid, etc.\nIt is definitely funnier or happier with his second chance ending.\nI first thought just the sad ending would be OK too.  \nYou know he had his chance but just blew it.

I have. I enjoyed it very much. It was great to see many spiritual concepts being shown and discussed in a movie, a rare treat these days. I had to watch it twice to digest it all.

It was a well done movie, I thought.  The performances were great.  I liked the circular nature of the narrative.\n\nHowever, it is basically the same statement over and over again, "Everyone's a racist".  That's a statement I find a bit too simplistic.

Yes I have. The movie was better than I thought it was going to be. It was funny. I didnt understand why TI was mad at the girl thought. I didnt really see the point of him being so mad at her. But overall, it was a pretty god movie.

I liked it. I thought it was pretty funny. My family thought it was pretty entertaining (my 5yr old loves it). We went ahead and bought it and although I don't watch it frequently (like I do with my all time favs) we still enjoy it every once in awhile.

The most memorable film that I have seen is A Child Lost Forever. It is about a little boy who is taken away from his mother and father at birth because they are both underage and put in the American adoption scheme. 21 years later the mother goes looking for her son, only to find out that he died when he was 3 years old. The boys adopted mother physical abused him beating him and making him eat his own sick because he was an untidy and lud child unlike her son that she had, who was taught to be tidy. The child died of a ruptured bowl, which kills you after a number of symptoms if not treated. The case was closed as her whle family were police in the same department. They eventually found her guilty after opening the case again. She got life in prison. What hit it home for me and made me cry through it was the fact that it was a true story and that there are people out there back in them days that would take away a child to an underage mother yet nowadays it is becoming more and more common for 11 and 12 year olds to keep there babies. I think that the laws should be changed and that kids as young as that should be put on birth control and taught the risks of having sex at an earlier age. That is the film and that is my view.

not personally, but my parents & younger bros & sisters were on vacation last week and saw it on tv at their condo. they found it extremely humorous. i'd like to watch it, on their recommendations, but first i was thinking i'd try to compile a list of the movies that it spoofs and watch those beforehand. i think that would heighten the appreciation of the movie.

I just got back from seeing it about an hour ago.  It was such a good movie!!!  I don't want to give anything away, but it was not what I expected it to be.  So funny, and a really good message in the end!

I've watched that show.  It's pretty good.  I wonder where they get the kids, though.  I would love to be on there.  I know I could handle it.

It was a very good movie! It shows the good and bad side of people. I have a disabled child and people can really try your nerves when they don"t understand the situation. I cried and laughed at this movie ,rollercoaster of emotions!It shows you what a kid can do,with only a fantasy!
