The film Dead Poets Society is a film that explores the idea of "Carpe Diem" (seize the day) from the viewpoint of a classroom of young men at an all boys boarding school. Their teacher Mr. Keating (played by Robin Williams)helps them stretch their minds, and exercise their right to defiant acts of love for life and poetry, rebuttlng society. The director Peter Weir treats you with eye candy by using various camera shots of beautiful scenary, and neat techniques. Weir takes you on a roller coaster that leaves you gripping your seat, enjoying life, and thinking "Carpe Diem" in your own life. There are some very depressing scenes, but they are very artful, and teach you of appreciation for those brave members of society that dare stand up for their beliefs, and rights to wrestling around with life. I thought Ethan Hawke (Todd Anderson) gave a true life twist to the film, Robin Williams (Mr. Keating or also known as Captain my captain) added an element of excitement, and Robert Sean Leonard (Neil Perry)added passion that leaves you mesmerized. I just saw this film in English class, but I immediatly fell in love with it, as I know you will.

Dulu nonton film ini,taun 80/90an kali..duh...film yang pertama ama satu2nya yg bisa buat gwe menitikkan aer mata...aer mata ikan sura..kalo buayanya udah ada yg punya :p.

Asli ini film sederhana tapi gimana gitu...Robin Williams as Mr Keating itu bakal bikin gw betah sekolah kali kalo dia yg ngajar...bener2 kita diberikan free mind...diberi keberanian...sampai teringat temen yg comment..."nah ini dia ndre..konsep belajar kaya gini yg bikin gw suka ama sekolah anak gw...tiap anak boleh punya cara sendiri, tiap anak dihargai sesuai karakternya...gak cuma baca tulis teori aja, tapi anak bisa liat dan merasakan langsung, hasilnya langsung nempel pel pel....."

Sekolah ini terletak di tepi danau yang indah..sekolah khusus lelaki ....tinggal di asrama ketemu ama guru Alumni sekolah ini, Pak Keating, English teacher, he said " to look a thing in a different way", mengakibatkan Todd dan teman2nya pengen tau mengenai Pak Keating ini, alhasil mereka tau kalo Pak Keating ini dulunya buadung banget dan bikin kelompok terlarang bernama "Dead Poets Society", yg malam2 kerjanya keluyuran trus baca2 sajak ....[ngapain yeee mending dugem hehehe].

Yang bikin sedih mereka ini udah kompak n bisa melakukan apa yg pengen mereka lakukan...eeghh....terjadi hal yang tragis sehinggga semua pihak kena batunya..dan Pak Keating harus leave the sekolah ini.

Biar endingnya sedih & bikin miris...tapi yg penting message dari Pak Keating buat murid2nya nyampe...karna banyak yg rupanya kelak memilih profesi yang tidak sesuai dengan kata hatinya bisa/mulai berani...setidaknya to say " Ohh Captain my captain" sebelum berpisah ama Pak Keating hik..hiks...hiks.....
