Show me the heart unfettered by foolish dreams, and I'll show you a happy man✨️
Prepare them for college, and the rest will take care of itself.
Prepare them for a job, and the rest will take care of itself.
But how will a man learn to live to imagine, to feel if all his life he’s only been prepared to wage a monetary war?
What about love, romance, compassion?
Where can a man learn these traits?
Sure, with money he might rise in society but what of peace, of happiness?
These are the questions Dead Poets Society dares to ask.
It's phenomenal how Robin Williams, playing John Keating, breathes life into the idea of CARPE DIEM-Seize the day.
The film shows us how individuality differs from person to person, how beautifully each character casts their persona upon us. And yet, it also shows how brutally societal norms can crush the spine of a young dream.
How easily passion can be destroyed.
How quickly a life can be reduced to merely chasing an “acceptable” status.
Dead Poets Society doesn’t give us easy answers. It doesn’t romanticize rebellion. Instead, it challenges us to ask: what is the point of a well paying job if you wake up each day with a hollow heart? What is the point of a socially acceptable life if it demands the burial of your dreams?
