      "Dead Poets Society" is the sea drowns the ship and the captain



           "Dead Poets Society", this film is very interesting, some people are tangled, some people are excited, it is a good film that can disturb people.

          Although I used "telescopes, magnifying glasses, and perspective mirrors" to explore the film, the branches and petals related to poetry that were pulled together in the film still did not form a romantic bouquet in my heart, but this did not affect me. My love for "Dead Poets Society" does not detract from the score of...

      A thought without an answer

      The reason why I started this thought is because I thought the people who paraphrased "Dead Poets Society" as "spring breeze and rain" didn't understand at least not fully understand the film. The film talks about a deep sadness (about education and also about human nature) rather than just simple youth inspiration. You said that "Spring in the Cattle Class" is more suitable for "spring wind and rain".
      When I first became a teacher, I was also full of passion. I used some unconventional...

      Pairing : Todd Anderson/Neil Perry

          "I step into the jungle because I want life to be meaningful; I want to live deeply, to absorb all that is in life, and to take everything that is not life It's all blown away, lest when my life ends, I find that I never lived."
          Todd still remembers Neil's words vividly to this day. In that wet and cold cave, Neil's eyes shone so brightly, like the candlelight that dispelled all...

      Parents who dare not admit their mistakes

      Dead Poets Society is known as a must-see movie for educators.
      Although
      there are many systems in the movie and some educational concepts outside the system,
      I am not an educator or a principal, so I can't
      study it from this angle ,

      but I see
      When Neil committed suicide at home, his parents
      put all the responsibilities on teacher Keating
      , a child in the poetry club, in order to shirk his responsibility
      , in front of the principal, to say that...

      Dead Poets Society classic lines

      “I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately...
      I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life!
      To put to rout all that was not life...
      And not when I came to die, discover that I had not lived...
      I stepped into the jungle because I wanted to live meaningfully...
      I wanted to live deeply to take in all the essence of life! Smash
      everything that is not life...
      lest at the end of my life, Find yourself never lived... Just 　　when...

      Rewatch; "oh captain, my captain"; their youth in the movie is dark yellow with a little radiance, while our youth is pale and a little strange. I have also met Robin Williams' teacher, but just like the development of the film, in the end, the beaten track is not good enough. The last scene grabbed tears, how much love and admiration should be made to make such a move. Four stars because I feel that the hit is not...

      25th anniversary. I cried when I saw it at the end. Oh Captain, my Captain. The fat girl died in "Transcendence", the fat teacher died in "The History Boy", and Neil died here. Ethan's youthful years, he acted really well. Robin left today and heard the captain say that everyone dies, really. Films like CAPRICE.ps really can’t be translated into Mandarin, you have to feel the way the actors read their lines. The theme is mainstream and...

      The American elite high school full of vitality, Robin Williams teacher is like a koi mixed into a pool of stagnant water, activating the romantic engine of a group of handsome guys. Although they still won't disappoint their parents, at least they can be boring in the future. The real life is a little idealistic, carpe diem, seize the day, have fun, and be a fulfilling person. By the way, the teacher quietly went to MIT in Boston in 1997, and brought a talented teenager, his name is Matt Damon...

      There is no feeling of touching the soul at all, maybe I am really old. The world has its laws. If we can choose to walk into the forest freely, in order to find the real life, this is not a kind of freedom. What is real life? Singing the beauty of life in the woods? What is life? The 17-year-olds are confused by chicken soup. Who knows where your steps come from, is it your own singing? Please tell him the full...

    Club

    Soon after the film started, we heard calls similar to swans flying over, and these birds looked more like starlings.
    Factual error: Keating’s verse quoted by Whitman is incorrectly quoted. The correct verse should be: "I heard my unfettered screams breaking through the top of the world."
    Voices are out of sync: Keating’s lip movement did not match what he said when he ordered the students to tear up the verses in their....

    Casting of Actors

    When choosing actors, Bill Morrie and Dustin Hoffman were both candidates for Keating teachers, but after Jeff Kennew planned to direct the film, Robin Williams was cast in the role. Afterwards, Dustin Hoffman praised Robin for his audition, thinking that he would definitely perform better than himself.
    Robin Williams plays Keating, an English teacher in the 1950s. He loves literature and poetry, inspiring young people to express their...

    Evaluation action

    The film opens at 9 minutes and 40 seconds and consists of 103 shots, 80% of which are close-up or close-up shots. Through the recurring character movements and expressions in the ceremony, it creates a serious and dull atmosphere unique to the school for the audience. At the end of the ceremony, the characters began to move, and the camera was no longer as fixed as before. Through the comprehensive movement of characters and shots,...
