Review

 

Academy Award winner Robin Williams delivers a brilliant performance in one of Hollywood's most compelling and thought-provoking motion pictures. Williams portrays passionate English professor John Keating, who, in an age of crew cuts, sport coats and cheerless conformity, inspires his students to live life to the fullest, exclaiming... "Carpe diem, lads! Seize the day. Make your lives extraordinary!" The charismatic teacher's emotionally charged challenge is met by his students with irrepressible enthusiasm - changing their lives forever. Magnificently directed by Peter Weir (The Truman Show), Dead Poets Society earned unparalleled praise among audiences and critics alike. Discover for yourself what all the cheering's about.

What a fantastic film. I had heard many good reviews of this film so almost 2 decades after it came out I decided to watch it. I am pleased to say I was not disappointed. Robin Williams gives an outsanding performance as inspirational poet teacher Mr. Keating & was well worthy of his first Oscar nomination. All the young supporting actors are spot on & includes a young Ethan Hawke. This is well worth seeing & is highly recommended. Sieze the Day & buy it.
