The Dead Poets Society Movie Review

Character

The actors that played in the movie were really suited for their characters.
The character of John Keating was really suited for Robin Williams because the
character was like the ideal father figure to the boys for he posses the traits of the
father that each of them never had.

Viewers could really relate to the character of the boys especially for the
ones who have same parents as the boys in the film.

Plot

While watching the film, I remember myself to be somehow got turned off
of the film because I saw the students smoking on a pipe and drinking liquors.
They also had a part that Charlie pulled out a picture of a naked girl and was
approach to be a joke. But if you will really look at the message of the film, it
actually focuses on the message “follow your dreams” because everyone has their
own dreams and especially the youth. If someone wants to be a doctor then let
them peruse what they want, and their parents should just give their full support.
Children should also go to their parents for advice but it is still up to them if they
want to do it or not.

Another lesson to be learned on the film is the value of friendship. The


members of the Dead Poets Society never left each other even at the hard times.
One part in the film that shows this lesson is when Charlie published an
unauthorized article on the school paper under the name of the dead poets society
and he didn’t pointed anybody out instead, he took responsibilities for his actions.

Acting

The actor definitely got to their inner character and it shows in the film. It
felt like each actor really experienced on what their characters are experiencing
wile hooting the movie.

Visual effects

Well since the movie was shot way back 1989, we the viewers of course,
still can’t expect the movie to be really high-tech. But if you will look at it for a
movie that was done back at the 80’s, it was pretty polished. It was not blurry the
colors were not as vibrant as movies today but good enough.
