O Captain, Gotta Watch This!
A short review on a very well done Peter Weir film, "The Dead Poets Society."
First Impressions:
A private boys school in the late 1950s gets a teacher who is unorthodox in his teaching methods. We see how the other teachers teach -- threats, boredom, etc. And we see how Robin...

Come Alive With Dead Poets' Society
I'm not sure just when I watched Peter Weir's Dead Poets' Society for the first time. I heard of it when it arrived in theaters, as my uncle had seen it and mentioned it to us, but I was just a little tyke then, and it wasn't until much later that I saw the film for myself.

Carpe Diem!
"Carpe Diem" is the Latin phrase that John Keating (Robin Williams) used to inspire his Freshmen students. I also find it a coincidence that the star's character name closely resembles one of the great English Romantic poets.

Dead Poets Society (Special Edition)
In an age defined by crew cuts, sport coats, and cheerless conformity, he not only broke the mold ... he reinvented it. Academy Award(R) winner Robin Williams (Best Supporting Actor, GOOD WILL HUNTING, 1997) delivers an extraordinary performance in one of the most compelling motion pictures of all time. Williams stars as English professor John Keating, a passionate iconoclast who changes his students' lives forever when he challenges them to live life to the fullest and Carpe Diem -- seize the day! Keating's unconventional approach meets with irrepressible enthusiasm from his students, but the faculty at staid, exclusive Welton Academy prep school is, to put it mildly, not amused. Featuring a star-marking performance by Ethan Hawke and over three hours of never-before-seen bonus materials, this Special Edition of DEAD POETS SOCIETY will captivate and inspire you again and again.
