Like the cover of the DVD, the children in red, lift up their captain, MR.Keating in the white shirt, a feeling of excitement and uprising. Seventeen! It's seventeen years old again, and another group of seventeen-year-old kids! The uprising, to fight against the world of non-poetry, of course, is just a fight, and I will eventually return to this world, and become bankers, lawyers, and doctors in the future, but we would rather believe that their lives will be different in the future.
We have had such surging passion before. The film puts it in a powerful environment of confrontation and conflict. On the one hand, it is the new teacher Keating, who leads the children to the language and life of poetry, and guides them to demand different lives and meanings. On the other hand, it is the parents and the principal. The panic and violent suppression. And Neil's death finally pushed this conflict to the forefront. The narration is very tense, and the lens is very refreshing. I really like all the scenes where birds and snow appear. And the profile faces of the children, clean and innocent. And their running and chasing. There are also a few small actions of Keating.
