    The look he gives at 2.47 when he first hears "captain my captain! Absolutely haunting. Like it's gone right to his heart. I like that not all the students stood up. More realistic. No teacher will get through to all their students -but the ones that do - their lives are changed forever.

      It is true, Robin Williams' restrained, yet highly emotional reaction is absolutely brilliant. I also like how Todd is the only person saluting his teacher for about 20 seconds, before Knox is the second student to step up. 20 seconds is an eternity when you are in a situation like this. With the most important decision of his life Todd has turned himself into a true leader, and this long time span nails it to the wall.

    For me, the part that gets me is when the guy who didn't give a crap and regarded the poetry assignments as a joke stood up. In the end, even he couldn't help but be touched and moved by the infectious spirit of Mr. Keating.

    The actor who played Meeks, James Waterston, is the son of actor Sam Waterston. Robin Williams was in an episode of Law and Order: SVU. Sam Waterston played DA McCoy in the Law and Order franchise. Originally, it was written that Cameron would stand with the rest of the guys at the end, but that would have not been believable and the actor who played Cameron suggested that he sit with the rest. The great actor, Norman Lloyd, was in a few Hitchcock movies and directed many of the Alfred Hitchcock Presents episodes. He is also memorable for playing Dr. Auschlander in the tv series St Elsewhere. I remember when Robin Williams died and the first words I thought of was "O captain. My captain".

    Mr. Keating challenge those boys to think for themselves. He dared to break the mold that was set before him and achieved much in such a short time. In our “society” today, those who dare challenge to think and to dream are always shoved down and told to shut up. This movie is a reminder that deep down, we can dare to challenge the norm. Dare to dream. “That the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse.” - Oh Me! Oh Life by Walt Whitman
    What verse will anyone contribute to society?

    What is also interesting is that at first Todd is told to sit down and he does, upset. I remember seeing that and thinking that the school was going to get away with what they did. But then Todd stood on his desk and stayed there, ignoring Nolan, showing he isn't scared anymore.

      What they did was build up the anger we are feeling towards Mr. Perry, Mr. Nolan and this whole society where they aren't permitting free thinking. You are waiting for Todd to stand up and say something and he does and when he sits down again you think, "Oh, great, what a chicken!" But when he stood up on the desk and ignored Nolan and the others also stood up, you see that they have changed. Keating taught them well and even though he is leaving, they won't forget what he taught them.

    My captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still
    My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will,
    The ship is anchor'd safe and sound, it's voyage closed and done
    From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won
    Exult O shores, and ring O bells!
    But I with mournful tread,
    Walk the deck my Captain lies,
    Fallen cold and dead.

      @@sha11235 It was actor Dylan Kussman's idea not to stand. Cameron was originally scripted to stand, probably in a dramatic change of heart, but Kussman felt he wouldn't have such a thing. "I mean I'd want him to stand, to have had that change of heart," I imagine him saying, "but I just don't think he would." Director Peter Weir agreed, "You know what, you picked up on your character so well, you understand him better than anyone else. Okay, he doesn't stand."

    That the world needs to hear.

    Here's the thing that puzzled me. Neil was a Senior with all A's in his classes and would have graduated the coming Spring. He would have been free to escape his Father. He could have got a service level job, got acting parts wherever he decided to go. He was not trapped.

    I think we could say here that Captain Keating found some of his top men. I say some because if things were different all the boys probably would have stood on the desks.
    I think Richard Cameron was clearly tempted to do it as we saw him react when others were doing it.
