Dead Poets Society (1989)


Genre: Drama
IMDB rating: 8.0

Synopsis:
The movie is set at a conservative prep school, Welton Academy in the US in 1959. Neil Perry, Todd Anderson, Knox Overstreet, Charlie Dalton, Richard Cameron, Steven Meeks, and Gerard Pitts are some of the senior students of the school.
Their lives change when they meet their new English teacher John Keating, played by Robin Williams.

Review:
Dead poets society is a movie that can be watched at any stage of life, and still you can learn something from it. The movie is brilliantly written and directed. Each character has been beautifully developed and equally well played by the cast.
The movie is not about any dead poets or anything like that as the name might suggest. Its prime focus is to highlight the fact that we are running after things that are necessary to survive but have forgotten everything about the things that make us feel alive. In this fast paced world this movie can force you to stop for a moment and re-think about how you want to go ahead with your life? Are you on the right track?
The sheer brilliance of Late Robin Williams can be seen in the movie and days after watching the movie if you hear the name dead poets society, you will find yourself thinking about Robin Williams. Also all the students especially Robert Sean Leonard as Neil Perry and Ethan Hawke as Todd Anderson have given remarkable performances.

I do not want to reveal much about the movie as it will lose its essence for the people who have not watched it yet.
