Dead Poets Society is a movie that was released in 1989, and it is full of tragic loss and hope for what the future can hold. The film was written by Tom Schulman and directed by Peter Weir, and it stars Robin Williams as Mr. Keating, Robert Sean Leonard as Neil Perry, and Ethan Hawke as Todd Anderson. The movie is available to watch now for four dollars on YouTube, Google Play, Apple TV, Fandango at Home, and Amazon Prime. 

Dead Poets Society takes place in 1959, as a new English teacher named Mr. Keating returns to Welton Academy, the all-boys school he attended as a youth. The school is known for its high standards and ancient traditions, but Mr. Keating uses unorthodox methods to teach his students. With the help of Mr. Keating, his students are able to pursue their dreams. 

I highly recommend watching this movie. It shows the deep trust and understanding you are able to build if you just listen and understand other people. Dead Poets Society deals with some very deep topics, such as tragic loss and mental illness, but it captures them beautifully. 

The actors chosen to play each character are perfect. I don’t think anyone could play the role of Mr. Keating the way that Robin Willams does. He is able to perfectly capture the love of teaching and the love for his students in the movie. 

The story keeps you hooked all the way through. You will be enthralled from the very beginning, when Mr. Keating is introduced as the English teacher, all the way to the very end, when the students stand up for Mr. Keating as he ends his time at Welton Academy.

Dead Poets Society has some very memorable moments. One of which is when the students all stand on their tables to support their teacher, who has stood up for them and taught them how to find themselves. 

Overall, Dead Poets Society is a movie that shows the power of humanity, the hopefulness of the youth and the fight against the patriarchy. I would definitely recommend watching this movie, because it perfectly captures the connections in human life.
