	'Dead Poets Society'
		In "Dead Poets Society," Peter Weir's (and screenwriter Tom Schulman's) touching private-school requiem for free thinking, he is the English teacher -- come to shake the Academy down, come to show 'em that somewhere among the three Rs is an immensely pleasurable P for poetry.
		"Poets" is about his influence, or teacher John Keating's influence, on a crop of impressionable young lads at Vermont's "Welton Academy" (actually Delaware's St. Andrew's), where learning is something you take twice daily, so you can wake up a doctor in the morning.
		"Poets' " conclusion, a tragic affair, is foreshadowed early in the syllabus -- but if you've lived more than five minutes (and they won't let you into the theater otherwise), you already know that most romantic flights of fancy inevitably crash-land.

	Dead Poets Society (1989)
		Dead Poets Society is a thoroughly moving, and inspiring film from Peter Weir, who is definitely one of the most under rated directors around.
		This movie is in the same vein as "A Separate Peace", in the sense of setting, and in the general coming of age story line.
		The basic message is to "suck the marrow out of life", as the passage for the society reads, or to live every moment to the fullest.

		Keating's specialty is poetry (his name, in fact, is quite close to a classical poet) and as he teaches his young students to appreciate the art, he also teaches them to stretch for individuality.
		When the lads discover that Keating, a graduate of the school himself, once was involved in a group called the "Dead Poets Society," which met in a nearby cave and read poetry aloud, they decide to re-form the group.
		"Dead Poets Society" is rated PG for (non-graphic) violence, a couple of profanities and a nude Playboy magazine photo in one scene.

	Mutant Reviewers from Hell do "Dead Poets Society"
		I consider Dead Poets Society in the league of only a few other campus films (like PCU) that truly manage to get the flavor of college life right.
		Dead Poets was also the first real "thinking movie" I'd seen — the kind where poetry was quoted and it dealt with issues and symbolism and everything else ninth-grade English teachers turn cartwheels over.
		I wonder how Dead Poets Society will fare with this generation of kids that are in high school and junior high now.

		And I squirmed through the meetings of the "Dead Poets Society," a self-consciously bohemian group of students who hold secret meetings in the dead of night in a cave near the campus.
		The society was founded by Keating when he was an undergraduate, but in its reincarnate form it never generates any sense of mystery, rebellion or daring.
		The society's meetings have been badly written and are dramatically shapeless, featuring a dance line to Lindsay's "The Congo" and various attempts to impress girls with random lines of poetry.

	Dead Poets Society
		Nevertheless, Dead Poets Society features Robin Williams' most convincing and restrained screen work -- effectively muting his compulsion to skip from one shtick to another, rather than limit himself to playing a single character -- even though those were the very anarchic impulses that made him a unique star in the first place.
		(The problem with Dead Poets Society is that the movie's generic strictures are too confining altogether.) Nor does he wallow embarrassingly in maudlin, Chaplinesque self-pity, begging the audience to have sympathy for poor, poor him, as he did so shamelessly in the syrupy Moscow on the Hudson and Good Morning, Vietnam.
		The simpleminded, formulaic rigidity of Dead Poets Society is, in its own conservative, commercial way, almost as suffocating as the atmosphere at Welton Academy itself.

	Dead Poets Society
		With Neil's discovery of Keating's senior annual, the old Dead Poets Society that Keating was involved with when he was a student at Welton (Hellton, by nickname) rears its head.
		It is as if the splendor of these words, spoken by an aged Ulysses in the poem itself, performed a double function by reflecting both on Keating's generation of the past and that of Neil and his classmates in the present.
		There is indeed "tradition, honor, discipline, and excellence" in this student-led initiative to revive the Dead Poets Society, in spite of the fact that (as Keating himself puts it) the school's "present administration" would not "look too favorably upon" it.

	Dead Poets Society: Special Edition DVD Review
		Poetry is his medium for instruction, and by establishing an unexpected but deeply desired connection with his students, themselves gripped with despair from parental woes, he makes the art of language come alive for them.
		As such, Dead Poets Society scored a PG rating, despite some strong language and brief nudity.
		"Dead Poets: A Look Back" is hands-down the best bonus on the disc and one of only two that will absolutely appeal to anyone who cares enough for the film to own it (the other is the trailer, listed below).

		In Dead Poets Society, I watch with glee as William's character trashes an overly analytical assessment of poetry's merit in the assigned textbook, and instead advocates the imagination and life-affirming message found in the writing of artists like Walt Whitman.
		Dead Poets Society has staying power because of such an insightful script by Schulman, William's delightful contribution as the inspired teacher John Keating, and Peter Weir's deft touch as a director.
