Dead Poets Society was a movie that took some in depth realization.
Robin Williams did a fantastic job depicting individualism and how
to walk on your own. He realized that these young men were going to
be shaped in either a bad way or could shape themselves into the
type of men they wanted to become.Sure, everyone around them were
jerks and stiffs but that is the environment of the school. People
just didn't go up against all odds, and everything was OK. That is
exactly what Dead Poets Society was showing. Even though there were
consequences to the boys being inspired and re-forming "Dead Poets
Society" they still learned to march to their own drummer. They
could be boys and go for their own dreams and ambitions. This movie
showed Williams in a different light and i have so much respect for
his character. He believed enough in these boys to loose his job.
Standing on desks may not make everything better, but it shows the
real meaning of the movie. These boys had been taught to conform
and put their beliefs aside, but Williams opened up their hearts
and made a lot of people, whether they liked it or not, realize
that tradition is not always the way to push your children. If all
you can look at is the expression on Neil Perrys fathers face, when
he realized what his son had done, then you really didn't get the
point. This was not Mr. Perrys life, and Williams knew that and was
not about to cover up Neils dreams and tell him exactly the
opposite of what he had been teaching him all along. Dead Poets
Society was an unbelievable movie that showed how this teacher
believed so much in his students, that it changed their lives.
