The 1959 opening ceremony of Wilton Noble School and the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the school are being held ceremoniously. The principal, Dr. Nolan, proudly reviewed the glory of the school, and was proud of the school's adherence to the four creeds of tradition, honor, discipline and excellence over the past 100 years and that it has become the best university preparatory school in the United States. Also on this day, Wilton's honorary graduate, John Keating, a new teacher who returned from London to teach, returned to school as an English teacher.
The new semester has begun. The dull atmosphere and stale preaching made Wilton's big boys feel depressed. The students privately cursed Wilton as a hell school and tampered with Wilton's four creeds. At this time, the students would never have thought that the new teacher Keating, like the original desire in their hearts, had a distinctive and rebellious way of teaching, immediately making waves among the students. Keating's "Yankee March" humming, the creed of timely fun, and the analysis of poems by Ivanso Pulitzer torn from textbooks caused an earthquake in the long-suffocated minds of Wilton students. Soon, Neil accidentally found a Wilton Almanac with Keating's resume in the school library. It turns out that Keating was once the captain of the football team and participated in an organization called "Death Poetry Club".
What is the "Death Poetry Club"? Keating told the students the secrets of the Poetry Club. Under the advocacy of Neil, the "Death Poetry Society" was rebuilt. Charlie, Nacks, Mick, Cameron and other students responded enthusiastically, and the cowardly Todd joined in. From then on, the members of the "Death Poetry Society" twirled African primitive dances with a strong rhythm in the beautiful verses where Keating met, releasing the passion of youthful life.
Wilton School is undergoing quiet changes, and troubles and misfortunes also follow in this quiet change. Neal's participation in the performance of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" was strongly blocked by his father; Nacks had a crush on the famous and famous girl Chris; "Death Poetry Club" published an article advocating the recruitment of girls. All of this attracted the attention of Headmaster Nolan. On the night when the performance of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" ended, Neil used his father's pistol to float his soul to the distant heaven.
Neil's death shocked Wilton. Under pressure from public opinion, the school began investigating the cause of Neal's suicide. The results of the investigation show that Keating is fully responsible for what happened in Wilton's school. It's another English class. Under the guidance of Noren, Keating came to bid farewell when the students were reading Evans Pulicha's "ghost" article. The students watched Keating leaving the classroom with a smile on his face in the solemn form of standing on the desk and reading poetry aloud.
