It's probably my first time that I review a mature movie (not saying all of the animated movies I seen and reviewed are just for kids which is one of the most unbelievable and hallow argument with no meaning behind it) and it's about time for me to talk something positive for once. (The reason I said that because I can be a harsh movie critic when it comes to movie that I discuss why I don't like it and that's what my parents calls and known me for apparently) This movie may not be my cup of tea but I still like it any ways (well at least it's not one of those school comedy movies because I'm not the biggest fan of those kind of movies). So without a further-a-do let's get into it:

Non plot related details: Before I get reviewing I want to address the things that I like. Good score, I love the boys runs away to the forest giving a mystery vibe, good performances and interesting camera shot angles.

My review:

The story is about a group of teenagers in one of the best high schools in the US. Each of the group has a desire and want their parents not to be disappointed. The teachers are mostly take the lessons serious but a English teacher name John Keating (who is Robin Williams by the way) rather take it in a more faithful way by saying other things like romantical poets.

The theme of this movie: The thing what makes the theme of this movie special is how it attaches success from dreams. The movie constantly challenges it of the value of happiness and reality. The movie presents the audience with a "Thought Experiment" to find out which of the two values do we value more or why we have been thinking about it.

We ask ourselves to to choose between being plugged into a simulated reality where we can be happy as we want versus existing in the real world even though it may be full of pain. The Thought Experiment constructed is exactly the famous experience machine argument by philosopher Robert Nozick knows it.

n the same vein the movie realistically tells us that oftentimes believing in your dreams and actually accomplishing them dose not have an inevitable causal relationships. In this case do we value the brief sparkle of romance more then the successful life and the security that comes with it.

From Keating's first lesson where he led the students to a picture of school with a poem "His versions make much of time was mentioned and how the flowers smiling today will be dying tomorrow". One of the most memorable lessons Keating taught his students was when he said that "medicine, law business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry , beauty , romance , love these are what people stay alive for." I love how John Keating encourages the young students by standing up the desk and showing a new perspective.

The most important scene in the ENTIRE film: It's the scene where Niall makes his dream come true by taking part of a Shake Sphere play and succeed. But his dad was disappointed ,he missed the point to appreciate life but instead he forces Niall to be a Doctor and at night Niall went down stairs to his father's office, a loud sounds strikes, his dad went down stairs to switch up all the lights and finds out his son taken his own life. It's a heart breaking moment not going to lied.

The Dead Poets Society features a paragraph from Thoreau's Walden "in which life and death again serve as the road went to live in the woods because he wanted to experience the essence of life to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, so that he wouldn't dies discover that he had not live".

After Niall death Keating revisited this paragraph emotionally , overwhelmed, heartbroken and cried. Death is the worst thing that happened to a person and makes death their last day on Earth. What's worst then death is lose your identity and lost it all. He was fired because he taught the lesson when he shouldn't and all of the students of the group had to sign it. At the end the students listen what Keating was teaching them about and all stand up on desk for him. Man this scene hits hard I felt so emotional to this scene.

Final thoughts: So that was Dead Poets Society, I'll dare to say it's a masterpiece of a film it's about romance , love , beauty , life and death. The more you thought about the movie the deeper the meaning behind this movie gets and the symbolism imagery become. I also want to point out of the movie is the teachers are more like knowledge and Keating is more about wisdom. This movie deserves more reconistion then it gets (well, I mean it was well critically and financially and I meant the numbers of review like 80+, seriously? I guss there would be a point of time it manage to get more even if I left) I now like this movie and Peter Weir you done a grand job.

R.I.P Robin Williams you brighten my day better and I'm going to miss you,
