In the autumn of 1959, shy Todd Anderson begins his senior year of high school at Welton Academy,
an all-male, elite prep school. He is assigned one of Welton's most promising students, Neil Perry, as his
roommate and is quickly accepted by Neil's friends: Knox Overstreet, Richard Cameron, Steven Meeks,
Gerard Pitts, and Charlie Dalton.
On the first day of classes, they are surprised by the unorthodox teaching methods of the new English
teacher John Keating, a Welton alumnus who encourages his students to "make your lives
extraordinary", a sentiment he summarizes with the Latin expression carpe diem, meaning "seize the
day." teacher was member of the dead poets society while he was at welton, Neil restarts the club and
reads the poetry with his friends in the cave. Then Nale discovers his love of acting and gets the role
despite of the fact, that his father doesn’t like the idea of being actor, but neil is encouraged by his
teacher,who want really good for him. After that neil wasn’t supported by her parents and at the end he
commit suicide. Then neil’s death is investigated by Nolan one of the teacher of welton and keating is
fired. After that Nolan (who taught English at Welton before becoming headmaster) takes over teaching
the class, with the intent of adhering to traditional Welton rules. Keating interrupts the class to collect
personal articles; before he leaves, Todd shouts that all of them were forced to sign the letter that
resulted in his dismissal and that Neil's death was not his fault. Todd stands on his desk and salutes
Keating with the words "O Captain! HYPERLINK "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_Captain!
_My_Captain!"My HYPERLINK "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_Captain!_My_Captain!" HYPERLINK
"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_Captain!_My_Captain!"Captain HYPERLINK
"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_Captain!_My_Captain!"!". Knox, Gerard, Steven, and over half of the
class do the same, defying a furious Nolan's orders to sit down. Keating is deeply touched by their
gesture. He thanks the boys and departs.
This is our favourite film, because there are the things , that will help us to improve our personalities. We
can learn that our wishes are the most crucial in the world and nothing is more significant than that is.
There should be mentonied also, the relationship between teacher and students, how they respect and
love their teacher is amazing. when we watch this film , we can feel so many different senses at the
same time and that makes film more interesting. Just it touches our souls deeply. Dead Poets Society
teaches us to resolve to lead lives of passion and conviction, mindful of the fact that in the story of our
lives the script is ours to write, but the ending has long been decided. No matter what anybody tells you,
words and ideas can change the world - this is the most important thing that we must understand.
