THE DEAD POETS SOCIETY

Starring:

A few words about the movie:

    Academy Welton,1959... "Just 100 years ago 41 boys were standing in this room and were asked the same question as you are asked here today... Gentlemen, what are the four pillars of wisdom?" - "Tradition! Honour! Discipline! Excellence!". The college is old, traditional, conservative and strict. The teachers are also like that... So the arrival of the charismatic English teacher Mr. John Keating disturbs the steady methods of education! He puts upside down the boys and divides in two parts his colleagues with his modern and revolutionary ideas and teaching methods.

Poems:

“Truth is like a blanket that always leaves your feet cold. You push it, stretch it, it will never be enough. You kick at it, beat at it, it will never cover any of us. From the moment we enter crying to the moment we leave dying, it will cover just your head, as you yeil and cry and scream…”

Todd Anderson

"I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life. To put to rout all that was not life and not when I had come to die, discover that I had not lived…"

“The difficulty of maintaining your own beliefs in the face of others.

We all have a great need for acceptance,

but you must trust that your beliefs are unique, your own.

Some people may think them odd or unpopular.”
