I love this movie. It came to me at a time when I was having suicidal ideations and I wept when Keating says “That the powerful plays goes on and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?” It sounds silly but I stuck around because Robin Williams was telling me I wasn’t finished yet. Thank you for making this.
I cried when they stand for Mr Keating in the last scene of the movie which means you need to stand for your own base on your perspective, don't let other drown your inner voice, don't let other killed the burning light inside you.
my teacher had us watch Dead Poets Society last year and yeah tbh probably my favourite movie ever. the more i thought about it after we finished it, the deeper the symbolism and imagery became. it's such a deep movie that brings me happiness even though the ending was absolutely heart wrenching (seriously it was a tiny class like 5 if us and we all started sobbing). tbh i really hope everyone who watches this movie is able to learn this lesson
Its a magical movie, and it really is fantastic when we get to share it with others who haven't experienced it yet. Its really one of those films that is a pure journey to experience your 1st watch through.
I think you perfectly described the difference between knowledge and wisdom. All the teachers just pass on knowledge, Keating teaches them wisdom. One favourite quote of mine from this movie is "Truth is a blanket that always leaves your feet cold."
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a movie where I felt so connected to the story, the characters, and the theme. It felt so relatable both in the shoes of the boys and their teacher.
It's sad that they are trying to make these boys I to something they aren't without letting them express themselves naturally. How they live through them, and make them live a life they never wanted.
One thing to think about with GREAT stories is that they will always seem more deep, more intricate the more you study the and talk about them. It's because the themes and characters were portrayed soooo well that it activates our minds and souls. The same reason people read and reread Shakespeare, Dostoevsky, Elliot, Dante, Melville et al. again and again, and find new and diverse truths, is the same reason people do when watching and thinking about Dead Poet's Society. Great art activates our minds and hearts, our very souls. It can be said that we become "more human" when experiencing these great movies, books, plays etc. It what makes them truly great!
I had a mr.keating in my school that got fired for a reason us students still don’t know. He was in our school for just two years and was described as the students second father. He never taught me a class personally but he was such a joy. He did teach my friends and they talked about him with such appreciation. And when i joined a club he was advising He talked a lot about life too. To be what makes you truly, and follow your heart. I had this one conversation where he told me about his life and how he followed what his parents wanted which was to be a teacher, and that in all realness he hated being one, but we made him kind of find a love for it. The school didn’t like how much we gave him the few last days he was in school, i think he had about 50 gifts or more from all his students including me. I dont know why schools always get rid of the good teachers.
My wife is a teacher, and I know she definitely brings those kids a lot of joy. I've gotten to See the connection she's had with them. The school system seems to rip itself apart when trying to educate kids. Half knows how to talk to the younger generation and speak to them and connect with them. The other side seems to not have a clue about children at all. And they tend to push those good teachers away with their poor decision making. It's a tragedy really... Thank you for sharing this with me. I appreciate it a lot. People like you really make me want to upload to this channel again. Its been so long, I do miss it. If I make a new video, just know it's cause of people like you 🫶
Awesome essay. I've never heard this take on the movie before and it's quite interesting. I love getting new philosophical viewpoints on my favourite movies. Thank you. 🙂
I am a English major who wants to work as an editor in a publishing house. I constantly get the condescending little look when I tell people that. You can tell people think STEM is the only worthwhile path, and all other fields are frivolous, that I don’t know how low paying passion industries are and I am an aspiring failure waiting to be blindsided. It can be disheartening. This movie reminded me that literature is worth pursuing because stories are so profoundly important to the identity of individuals and cultures. They are the things we come home to after a hard day and share with the people we love, and the people we want to understand. I know myself well enough to know that even if I did pursue a STEM job, I’d be miserable. Literature is what I was meant to do and there’s nothing wrong with that (in fact, it’s wonderful!). Money is not the only value that matters, and it’s comforting to be reminded
Poetry was vitally important up until the Great War. If people read any today, it’s the older work. I ask people - who is your favorite poet of today? No one knows any- no one tells me if a poem that amazed them. But I’m in a city. Maybe it’s different in a rural area. Consider writing a Substack - it might be a bit of income for you. Don’t give up on studying what you love.
Neil's dad was like, 'You got the opportunities I never even dreamt of having' Meaning seizing the day for him didn't mean seizing the day from life, from nature for the sake Poetry, Beauty, Romance & Love. For him, It only meant to seize things from the world and your heart in order to survive.
I remember watching this movie a while ago, and even though I thought it was enjoyable, I didn't think too much of it at the time. Revisiting it now really hits different, especially the whole part about learning how to appreciate the beauty in life... Thanks for the video! RUclips recommended it at a good time for me
i remember watching this movie for the first time in 2021, in my sophomore year of high school. i was so incredibly touched by its message, and i remember crying for days over it. the film still holds such a special place in my heart. i even put a quote from the movie as my senior quote earlier this may!
Awesome review! Haven't heard this about the lights but I see it the same way. I always remember how dark the scene at the end with Niel is and then his father turning on light after light to finally discover a "truth" a dark one at that.
@@darkbunnyfilm I think it's one of the best movies ever made. Certainly the best one made about finding your own unique voice in life. It does a great job of not only showing the value of THAT but also the obstacles that get in our way.
What I found very interesting with it, was that the cinematic aesthetic of the boys' school felt to be a mix of the UK, Australian & NZ boys school culture, with just hints of it seeming like it was set in the US or North America more broadly. Whilst the script was very American in some respects, it was culturally & visually anachronistic (time but more place). Peter Weir, the director is Australian, and apparently he did draw on Australian boys schools, including his own experience, for inspiration too. Very timeless.
@@darkbunnyfilm Check out the Australian film 'Flirting' (1990). It's the sequel to 'The Year my Voice Broke' (1987). You'll see examples of boys' school culture (and particularly boarding schools) indicative of the 1950s-1960s in Austraila. Lots of scenes from the film on RUclips from the NFSA (National Film and Sound Archive of Australia). A few big names in that move too. ruclips.net/video/lJcKidPhrkU/видео.htmlsi=_pNQx2ENKx1m_S9j
@@darkbunnyfilm Yes I loved your vid. IM sorry didnt say anything about it in my original comment. I was just excited to see something about Dead Poets Society.
I've never thought of it but now that you've shared this it seems so obvious. I've only recently watch this movie but I've loved it ever since. Love watching people talk about my favourites and this movie truly deserves more people talking about it. Thank you for this! :D
this video is one of my favorite analyses of this film!! I never noticed the light symbolism until you mentioned it, and I can't believe I missed it. great video!!!!
One the note of passing the lights from one to the other there is this other scene at the start of movie as well where welton students are holding candles and pass the flame from one kid to the other... Now that you've brought it out the symbolism becomes that much more clear! Great work on the video !
Thank you for the insightful video essay! (If I may, I remember vividly, since I had graduated from college with a degree in Cinema in 1987, and then ran this film as a projectionist in a first run theater! ....certain scenes from the film, its sublime score by Maurice Jarre, and its primary message, almost a warning to me, - has stayed with me, stuck on me, not only for days after watching it on its initial run, but in a way constantly in the background to this day......)
@@darkbunnyfilm: Thank you for your compassionate reply! To answer you, it has been a bit complex, and a bit of a struggle due to personal challenges that persist to this day. To try to summarize here, I will just say that, to pay the bills, I worked as a union projectionist for 25 years; but at the same time, at least for the first 10 years after graduating, I applied at a few local video studios and was able to meet a few local artists/video people in the area who are still friends. I worked on a number of locally produced projects, including a low-budget feature, and a music video show produced for a small station. (I became specialized in cinematography/videography, and also in studying and occasional production of animation.....) But after not having made the progress in a direction I wanted, I decided to go off on my own and make my own experimental film on a subject I'm very passionate about: horses! For the past 25 years, I've followed and filmed a herd of horses in Montana, and am trying to create another unique, somewhat experimental work shot almost entirely in slow-motion. If you are interested, I would be obliged (?) to perhaps converse with you more via e-mail about this and other interests and studies in film/animation.....(Thank you!) 😌 (p.s., I'd like to close here by stating that, although important, being a "free thinker" sometimes comes at a price when one ends up with viewpoints that are non-conformist or even controversial.....)
This was an amazing video! I’ve always loved this movie and this video presented a whole new understanding of this wonderful film. Incredible editing too btw!
I saw this in the movie theater in LA when it came out. I was going to quit teaching because I felt like I was doing nothing and a failure. I left the theater knowing what was possible as a teacher. Years later, one of my students got a Presidential Scholarship in Music Composition, through many others were also as exceptional. One movie literally changed my life and perhaps that of others. "Thank you, boys. Thank you....."
I usually don't comment on videos since the content I watch is appreciated enough, but oh my god this essay here- it's brilliant to the marrow. I sincerely hope you'll get the gratitude you deserve
I just finished this film at 5am I felt like watching this movie had it on my watchlist and wow by the end of the movie I was so sad but what a film literally everything about the ending just made this film one of my favorites
I don't believe it's quite a masterpiece but it's truly a moving and beautiful film with a strong and uplifting message and great acting by Robin Williams,Robert Sean Leonard and Ethan Hawke.
I went out of my way to use this film in my english class and to conapre it to songs from queen, i want to break free and under pressure as i felt those songs reassembled what those students wanted and felt. Ione of the very few movies that made me actually cry and im still in awe of how great this movie is and forever will be. I'm also proud to say it was directed by an aussie and as an aussie its a classic
This was awesome jdnbvinngjjv This is the first time I'm subscribing to a channel after watching just one video! (Might have more to do with how much I love the movie itself hehe) Excited to see more from you ❤
Oh, how the last scene has taken on a new layer of irony since dear Robin's suicide. Would that I might have stood before that man and said to him: "O Captain! My Captain!"
The one thing i know after watching this movie was that I'll never be the same again. This movie changed something in me that i couldn't recognize before..
upon watching this video i rewatched the final scene because I couldn't help myself, i then noticed that as mr keating leaves the office in the poetry room, there is a box of lightbulbs left on the shelf in the room, the light is also left on in there as he shuts the door. this feels light a symbol for him leaving his legacy and the tools with which to pass on the knowledge, the love, poetry, beauty and romance. i dont know, your video just really resonated with me and i found your analysis to be very poignant.
@@darkbunnyfilm I watched it twice. This movie is a masterpiece. I was able to get it on Amazon new and sealed for about nine bucks. It was the only one left.
I wasn't going to watch this video even though I was deeply moved when I first saw Dead Poets Society in a theatre (on June 7, 1989), but I clicked on it out of curiosity ("Does this video include new insights and appreciation? Something I didn't already know?). Yes, yes, and yes. It's cool getting older and drawing lines between points. I've written the draft of a note I'm planning to mail on January 1, 2024 -- beginning with the words: Love Admire Appreciate Respect Delight. My note will include a substantial gift to a 35-year-old "adopted" nephew who has a wife and three children, and those words express my feelings toward and observations about him. Was the seed of my note and gift planted 34 years ago when I saw Dead Poets Society? Yes, yes, and yes.
We're getting closer and closer. The film juggernauts are starting to make less and less in comparison to the smaller/ more indie films. Hopefully this can continue on and soon our voices will be heard
I have to admit, I should have paid more attention to my English teacher in 12th grade when I was younger. He was able to show us this movie to contrast "Carpe Diem" with "Memento Mori". I only saw it as another task to be completed. But for some reason the movie never left my conscious. It's probably because of my childhood memories with Robin Williams and how he replaced a father figure in my life. Looks like I have to watch this movie with complete attention this time and pay respect to everyone that came before me. Because everyone that has been a historical figure is dead now. And that's something I tried to block out of my perspective of life because I feared it.
I did the same thing when I was in 10th grade with my English teacher. I wrote it off as just another school lesson. I'm glad I went back and realized how impactful thus film truly is.
Thank you so much! Hahaha and I actually have no idea, something my fiancé put in the tree for the esthetics I suppose. It kinda just chills there and vibes
(And, if I may add.....how poignant the lines in the film referring to.....Dr. Nolan accusing Mr. Keating of encouraging the students to become artists......He replies: not artists (necessarily)........FREE THINKERS...... ....."Free thinkers at 17?" .....and I think.....okay, at what age would you, Dr. Nolan, have your students begin their free thinking, then?)
این فیلم رو خدا کارگردانی کرد ..... لذذذذت بردم ... نه فقط بعنوان یه معلم بعنوان یه مخاطب سختگیر که بهترین فیلمهای جهان رو میبینم و به همه جوانبش توجه میکنم .... عجیبه که بارها دیدمش وهربارمبه تازگی داره ... ۵ دقیقه اخر فیلمخودش به اندازه یه کتاب هزارصفحه ای حرف داره ❤❤❤ روح رابین ویلیامز عزیز شاد
Again, very perceptive video! (But, sorry, I can't help but make the sorrowful comparison, even though under very different circumstances, between the fate character Neil chose, and what Robin Williams chose in 2014.....) 😔
Fact: the soundtrack that plays in the background as Todd learns Neil is dead is called 'Carpe Diem'.
I didn't know that
I love this movie. It came to me at a time when I was having suicidal ideations and I wept when Keating says “That the powerful plays goes on and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?” It sounds silly but I stuck around because Robin Williams was telling me I wasn’t finished yet. Thank you for making this.
Film is truly a powerful medium ❤️🙏
I don't know you, but the world is a better place with you in it! Glad you stuck around 😊

Carpe Diem - Soli Deo Gloria
If you're in high school, please watch this movie. It will change your life, as it changed mine.
Agreed!!
It really did. Also I hope that anyone watching this video already watched this movie
I think you perfectly described the difference between knowledge and wisdom. All the teachers just pass on knowledge, Keating teaches them wisdom.
One favourite quote of mine from this movie is "Truth is a blanket that always leaves your feet cold."
A beautiful quote ❤
O Captain, my Captain!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a movie where I felt so connected to the story, the characters, and the theme. It felt so relatable both in the shoes of the boys and their teacher.
@@thebrowneyesofmandalore having the ability to connect to something like film is such a great feeling
Art keeps us alive. Cinema keeps me alive.
I'll drink to that!
You know what hurts the most when i watch this movie? How the parents of the boys don't care about their feelings. They use those kids as tools.
It's sad that they are trying to make these boys I to something they aren't without letting them express themselves naturally. How they live through them, and make them live a life they never wanted.
@@darkbunnyfilm The never-made sequel would have shown how the remaining boys were doing, Todd ditched his family and was going to become a teacher.
This movie just gets more and more intricate evry time someone mentions it.
Its so GOOD!

Where is still is a film about friends and teenagers, the messages it conveys to the audience are so inspiring

I don't believe it's quite a masterpiece but it's truly a moving and beautiful film with a strong and uplifting message and great acting by Robin Williams,Robert Sean Leonard and Ethan Hawke.
I'll drink to that! Thank you for the kind words 🙏❤️
great video with unique vierwing perspective, you are too underrated, subbed!
Thank you so much!!! ❤️🙏
This movie is truly amazing. It changed my life
Incredible how films can have that much of an impact
I went out of my way to use this film in my english class and to conapre it to songs from queen, i want to break free and under pressure as i felt those songs reassembled what those students wanted and felt. Ione of the very few movies that made me actually cry and im still in awe of how great this movie is and forever will be. I'm also proud to say it was directed by an aussie and as an aussie its a classic
Thats so cool!
This was awesome jdnbvinngjjv This is the first time I'm subscribing to a channel after watching just one video! (Might have more to do with how much I love the movie itself hehe)
Excited to see more from you ❤
Well I am honored and humbled to have you here. Thank you so much!
Oh, how the last scene has taken on a new layer of irony since dear Robin's suicide. Would that I might have stood before that man and said to him:
"O Captain! My Captain!"
The one thing i know after watching this movie was that I'll never be the same again. This movie changed something in me that i couldn't recognize before..
Movie are amazing the way they can do that
i loved this movie when i saw it when i was younger and only appreciate more and more as i grow older, completely my aesthetic
It's truly a great film
Six upright thumbs for your video Dark Bunny!
And six upright thumbs to you my friend 👍👍👍👍👍👍 thank you so much 🙏
Great movie. This nuance was a lovely addition
One of the most beautiful movies ever made!
Truly so much good in it 🙏
upon watching this video i rewatched the final scene because I couldn't help myself, i then noticed that as mr keating leaves the office in the poetry room, there is a box of lightbulbs left on the shelf in the room, the light is also left on in there as he shuts the door. this feels light a symbol for him leaving his legacy and the tools with which to pass on the knowledge, the love, poetry, beauty and romance. i dont know, your video just really resonated with me and i found your analysis to be very poignant.
Woah! No way!! I need to got rewatch that scene. So happy you enjoyed the video. I really appreciate you leaving a comment ❤
@@darkbunnyfilm youre so welcome! I have honestly reevaluated the way i watch this film because of you. Keep up the good work my dear
This movie changed my life, seriously.
Don't you just love when film can do that? It can be so powerful
At the conclusion of this video I stood on my desk and yelled out o Captain my Captain
Carpe Diem my friend 🧡
that´s why I decided to learn english. great video!
Film is truly a powerful medium 🙏❤️
i just finished watching the movie for the first time. i have never cried so hard over a movie, over art.
It's truly incredible how much impact a movie can have on us right?
Amazing video! Here before you blow up :)
Thank you so much!
I watched this film in the cinema 5 times, and I have rewatched this film on DVD about three hundred times.
It's truly a great film 🙏
@@darkbunnyfilm I’m going to watch it for the first time today. I just wish it wasn’t so hard to find on DVD but I understand why.
@wrightfamily7381 did you get to watch it?! What did you think?
@@darkbunnyfilm I watched it twice. This movie is a masterpiece. I was able to get it on Amazon new and sealed for about nine bucks. It was the only one left.
You deserve so much more subscribers
Thank you for that! If I did I could monetize the channel, and actually make videos again. But I'm having to put my attention elsewhere for now.
This storytelling deserves attention
Wow thank you so much ❤
I know im late i just finished watching this.. screaming , crying, throwing up …
It's never too late to enjoy a movie 🎬 ❤️
Such a good video! Keep it up :)
Thank you
I wasn't going to watch this video even though I was deeply moved when I first saw Dead Poets Society in a theatre (on June 7, 1989), but I clicked on it out of curiosity ("Does this video include new insights and appreciation? Something I didn't already know?). Yes, yes, and yes. It's cool getting older and drawing lines between points. I've written the draft of a note I'm planning to mail on January 1, 2024 -- beginning with the words:
Love
Admire
Appreciate
Respect
Delight.
My note will include a substantial gift to a 35-year-old "adopted" nephew who has a wife and three children, and those words express my feelings toward and observations about him. Was the seed of my note and gift planted 34 years ago when I saw Dead Poets Society? Yes, yes, and yes.
Thank you so much for sharing this with me, I'm so glad you decided watch 🙏❤️
You pointing out the lack of light or turning on of lights in several scenes is worth the price of admission.
Lit video ! Simply LIT
Hahah well thank you so much!
Extremely charismatic video! Subbed, wishing you the best with your RUclips career!
Thank you so much! More to come! Thanks for sticking around! Means so much to me
I love your perception!
Thank you! U love that you enjoyed the video!
Unfortunately Hollywood won't allow such masterpieces now
We're getting closer and closer. The film juggernauts are starting to make less and less in comparison to the smaller/ more indie films. Hopefully this can continue on and soon our voices will be heard
Proof I was here before this channel goes viral
Thank you so much for your support!
I have to admit, I should have paid more attention to my English teacher in 12th grade when I was younger.
He was able to show us this movie to contrast "Carpe Diem" with "Memento Mori". I only saw it as another task to be completed.
But for some reason the movie never left my conscious. It's probably because of my childhood memories with Robin Williams and how he replaced a father figure in my life.
Looks like I have to watch this movie with complete attention this time and pay respect to everyone that came before me. Because everyone that has been a historical figure is dead now. And that's something I tried to block out of my perspective of life because I feared it.
I did the same thing when I was in 10th grade with my English teacher. I wrote it off as just another school lesson. I'm glad I went back and realized how impactful thus film truly is.
Absolutely beautiful
Thank you ❤
This is absolutely beautiful & brilliant.
Thank you so much ❤ that really means a lot
The art of explaining......
this a really good video!
Thank you!! 🩶
wow this video was so good you did a good job
Thank you!
As a teacher i think God was the director of this remarkable film....
God bless robim wiliams ❤
Love it, all these film analysis videos explain so much I would've never noticed. What is that little cage hanging from the tree?
Thank you so much! Hahaha and I actually have no idea, something my fiancé put in the tree for the esthetics I suppose. It kinda just chills there and vibes
amazing video on an amazing movie
Thank you so much 🙏
You earned a subscriber 🚀
And you earned a friend! Thank you 🙏❤️
Oh Captain, my captain😭😭😭

OMG thank you so much ❤️ 🙏
Thank you.
Anyone that loves D.P.S. and I do owes themselves a three-way pile-up of Taps,Heaven Help Us,and The Chocolate War:)Trust Me:)
Most certainly!! Thank you for the recs!
Living life is not everyone's cup of tea
It's sad but it's true..
Oh captain my captain! Carpe diem 🫶
(And, if I may add.....how poignant the lines in the film referring to.....Dr. Nolan accusing Mr. Keating of encouraging the students to become artists......He replies: not artists (necessarily)........FREE THINKERS......
....."Free thinkers at 17?"
.....and I think.....okay, at what age would you, Dr. Nolan, have your students begin their free thinking, then?)
dude, I also saw it first in a writing class lmao. it'd be funny if we went to the same schools
Hahaha that would be crazy! Was your teacher's name Mrs. Montoya by any chance?
@@darkbunnyfilm nah
این فیلم رو خدا کارگردانی کرد ..... لذذذذت بردم ... نه فقط بعنوان یه معلم بعنوان یه مخاطب سختگیر که بهترین فیلمهای جهان رو میبینم و به همه جوانبش توجه میکنم .... عجیبه که بارها دیدمش وهربارمبه تازگی داره ... ۵ دقیقه اخر فیلمخودش به اندازه یه کتاب هزارصفحه ای حرف داره ❤❤❤ روح رابین ویلیامز عزیز شاد
Again, very perceptive video! (But, sorry, I can't help but make the sorrowful comparison, even though under very different circumstances, between the fate character Neil chose, and what Robin Williams chose in 2014.....) 😔
nice video
