Reflection on the movie entitled‚ “Dead Poets Society” The movie was quite not new to me since I’ve watched it several times when I was still in high school during our overnight. But I must admit that the impact of this movie to me has never changed from the moment that I personally have watched it. It was a very realistic movie that touched my heart all over again. Indeed‚ when we are young we really are curious about things and would actually see for ourselves on something. Mr. Keating

Inspiring co-stars Robert Sean Leonard and Ethan Hawke play Neil and Todd‚ students enrolled in the school Keating teaches at.

When I first saw Dead Poets Society‚ it was nothing I expected. The film is quite serious and it is without question the best movie I’ve ever seen. It takes place in 1959 at Welton Academy‚ a private collage prep school for boys where discipline is the most important goal and any demonstration of a free thought is strictly prohibited . One voice stands out among narrow-minded administration-John Keatings‚ eccentric and inspiring teacher. He wants his students to "suck the bone of life to the marrow"
