  • Hey All! This was an excellent film! I saw this as a kid of around 10, so I re-visited this movie as an adult. What a great movie, with a great message. And the fact that it's from 1989, when things were even more stringent than they are now, that makes me realize that this hit even harder when it was released.

    Those teenage boys, standing up as men for the very first time as men, and letting their voices be heard, and feelings known.
    I cannot think of a more perfect ending.

    “I don’t care if the world comes to an end tomorrow night.” Father to son. Tragic foreshadowing

    Great film, and given your age, I understand some of your reactions during the film. This was set in 1959 and the world and family dynamics were very different back then. Your analysis at the end was partially the consensus. I was 33 yrs old when this came out, and there must have been at least 6 months of intense talk talk talk about the film no matter who you were with. Thanks eh !

      Hey thanks again for visiting! Yeah I bet there was a lot of good discussion had about this one. The more I think about it, the more I can understand the differences and how things were back then.

    _FINALLY._
    A reactor who actually picks up on the fact that Neil is _lying_ about having talked with his dad.

      Do people most of the time not pick up on that? To me it seemed like there were plenty of clues, he stuttered while telling Keaton about it, and also Keating looked like he didn't believe him

      Several of the reactors I have seen missed the clues.
      …Or maybe it just seems like a lot because it is *_SO_* painful to watch them be happy for Neil, knowing what’s coming. I’ll have to review my watch history. I remember at least 2 for sure, anyway….

      Okay- so far, found 3 or 4 that DID pick up on it. 5 or 6 who took Neil at his word. The rest were ambiguous, silent on commentary, or skipped that scene.

      @@StoryMingto be fair, that scene wasn’t meant to be very clear that Neil was lying, or else the character of Mr. Keating himself would have sensed that his student was lying to him. Keating’s character as a highly intelligent and experienced English professor would also be highly attuned to the characteristics of his own students.

      I believe that Keating _DID_ in fact suspect that Neil was not being truthful. The way he asks him (“Really? …You told him what you told me?”) suggests to me that he has his doubts. But (if so), he does not want to accuse Neil of lying. And anyway, there was nothing more that he could say or do to help Neil, beyond what he had already said. So he lets it be. -i note, too, that he does not seem surprised or taken aback by the father’s angry reaction, after the play.
      …I think Keating knew.
      It is subtle, yes; I’ll grant you that. But the signs are all there. Neil’s nervous delivery, his stammer, the way he dwells on the fact that his father will be away. The sheer unlikelihood, given everything we have seen of his father so far, of his relenting so quickly (or that the movie itself would have omitted to show us that critical scene). I don’t think I’m being unfair.
      I’m not saying I expect _every single reactor_ who ever.watches would pick up on this. But a good many reactors have shown themselves to be astute and observant; so I am surprised that more did not catch it.
