Captain!My captain!

The ideal shines into reality, why is it just helpless.
Even if the ending is not satisfactory, I am only willing to indulge in the beauty of "Dream" and "Love".
Because I know that the world is too dark, if I don't have my own support, I am not me.

After two English classes on Wednesdays, I finally finished watching Dead Poets Society, and I really liked it. In fact, I prefer its other name, "Spring Breeze and Rain".
Teacher Keating (Robin Williams) and a group of "stinky boys" at that time, with passion and romance, said a euphemistic but firm "NO" to the secular code of conduct. Although some people died in the process, some people defected.
When the "Bible" for appreciating poetry was torn apart, when the shy Todd vented his emotions loudly, when "Nuanda" was dropped out of school...
When the "ancient poet"'s heart began to open sincerely, my heart was also excited. . Who can imagine that in English class, my heart is agitated, surging, fanatical and sincere. And that's just because of one movie.
I dare not say that I am not naive, maybe I am not deeply idealistic in life.
But still so moved, moved by that little bit of nihilistic and worthless poet's feelings. Perhaps as Feng Youlan said, people with a "merry" spirit are often moved by things that other ordinary people are not moved by.

I really like Neil in this movie. Even if he took suicide as his final destination, it did not hinder my respect and pity for him.
In the course of the film before his death, I think everyone has begun to speculate about his ending.
Is it really death? ...
so I shouted over and over again in my heart, "No, no, really no!"
But in the end, Neil died after all.
Reality and ideal, it is not easy to have the best of both worlds.
Neil died because of his forbearance and love.
I think he really loves his parents, that's why he has that kind of pain that is hard to ask for, and that kind of sadness that bites his teeth and swallows blood.
But I can't see his hatred at all, he just quietly, quietly closing the door, all his love for acting, for his dreams, and even his love for his parents, brothers, and teachers, together Buried on the road of his life.
Can you blame him for being vulnerable? Can you blame him for being cowardly?
He couldn't take it, couldn't take it anymore. Death, sometimes not a feat, nor irresponsible.
When a person is really tired, he should always have the right to choose, and the choice will no longer be chosen by others.
How sorry I am for him, because he did not actively plan a better way to balance reality and ideals. But I am also pleased for him, because he finally no longer has to struggle between obeying his parents' wishes and his own decisions, and can be paranoid, willful, selfish and desperate.
Leave his parents, two serious people who didn't know the real reason until their son died, to miss him. For a lifetime.

And look back at Keating and a class of students.
Under the collision of contradictions and conflicts, I am still glad that what happened to Nuanda was being dropped out of school. It seemed to whisper to me, after all, there are people who insist on their ideals and themselves...
When Todd stood at the desk and shouted "Captain! My captain!" at the end, I was happily content with such an ending.
The story continues. This new "Dead Poets Society", many years later, how many people will become the next Keating, and how many people will become a member of all living beings. I don't know.
I just said to myself:
if in a few years, when I hear and see that "Captain! My captain!" scene again, I hope I'll still be in tears...

    Why is a film required to teach people the answers to realistic education? The reality is that there are many contradictions and it is necessary to find a balance in the chaos, so why should the film be correct in both black and white? If someone's interests will be damaged because other people guide others to think about the meaning of living, then this person must already be part of the authority. Since human beings form a society and cut off most of their freedom in exchange for stability and security, freedom has become the pursuit of human beings that never disappear. It is precisely because it is out of reach that human beings enjoy the process of constantly pursuing their ideals and choose the one with few people. Road is freedom, and choosing a road with many people is also freedom, but isn’t the most important thing to learn to think for yourself? The biggest problem in the film is that the independent thinking of students who do not have enough life experience is largely incomplete, but don't people spend their whole life perfecting their own life experience to further maintain independent thinking? The collision between ideal and reality is destined to be hurt. It is a pity that young people still don’t know how to steer the rudder to sail, but the wind of romance and freedom has blown, can the sail be far away, my captain

    "No one is good for a thousand days, and no flower is for a hundred days." Why does Keating like to be a teacher? Perhaps it is because they like to be at the first turning point in their lives and give them the best guidance. "Thoreau said that most people live in peace and despair." This sentence only begins to appreciate the meaning of this sentence until middle age. Therefore, dreams, love, ideals, pursuits, and hard work in childhood. Asking and answering hard will last a lifetime.

  • Todd Anderson: Mr. Keating! They made everybody sign it.

    Mr. Nolan: Quiet, Mr. Anderson.

    Todd Anderson: You gotta believe me. It's true.
