I saw this in the movie theater in LA when it came out. I was going to quit teaching because I felt like I was doing nothing and a failure. I left the theater knowing what was possible as a teacher. Years later, one of my students got a Presidential Scholarship in Music Composition, through many others were also as exceptional. One movie literally changed my life and perhaps that of others. "Thank you, boys. Thank you....."

Unfortunately Hollywood won't allow such masterpieces now

Similar kind of movies can anyone suggest?

Oh, how the last scene has taken on a new layer of irony since dear Robin's suicide. Would that I might have stood before that man and said to him: "O Captain! My Captain!"

I just finished this film at 5am I felt like watching this movie had it on my watchlist and wow by the end of the movie I was so sad but what a film literally everything about the ending just made this film one of my favorites

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a movie where I felt so connected to the story, the characters, and the theme. It felt so relatable both in the shoes of the boys and their teacher.

Its so beautiful and tragic, and one of the best films ever made. Everything about its is perfect.

I had a mr.keating in my school that got fired for a reason us students still don’t know. He was in our school for just two years and was described as the students second father. He never taught me a class personally but he was such a joy. He did teach my friends and they talked about him with such appreciation. And when i joined a club he was advising He talked a lot about life too. To be what makes you truly, and follow your heart. I had this one conversation where he told me about his life and how he followed what his parents wanted which was to be a teacher, and that in all realness he hated being one, but we made him kind of find a love for it. The school didn’t like how much we gave him the few last days he was in school, i think he had about 50 gifts or more from all his students including me. I dont know why schools always get rid of the good teachers.

I have to admit, I should have paid more attention to my English teacher in 12th grade when I was younger. He was able to show us this movie to contrast "Carpe Diem" with "Memento Mori". I only saw it as another task to be completed. But for some reason the movie never left my conscious. It's probably because of my childhood memories with Robin Williams and how he replaced a father figure in my life. Looks like I have to watch this movie with complete attention this time and pay respect to everyone that came before me. Because everyone that has been a historical figure is dead now. And that's something I tried to block out of my perspective of life because I feared it.

What I found very interesting with it, was that the cinematic aesthetic of the boys' school felt to be a mix of the UK, Australian & NZ boys school culture, with just hints of it seeming like it was set in the US or North America more broadly. Whilst the script was very American in some respects, it was culturally & visually anachronistic (time but more place). Peter Weir, the director is Australian, and apparently he did draw on Australian boys schools, including his own experience, for inspiration too. Very timeless.

As a teacher i think God was the director of this remarkable film.... God bless robim wiliams ❤

این فیلم رو خدا کارگردانی کرد ..... لذذذذت بردم ... نه فقط بعنوان یه معلم بعنوان یه مخاطب سختگیر که بهترین فیلمهای جهان رو میبینم و به همه جوانبش توجه میکنم .... عجیبه که بارها دیدمش و‌هربارم‌به تازگی داره ... ۵ دقیقه اخر فیلم‌خودش به اندازه یه کتاب هزارصفحه ای حرف داره ❤❤❤ روح رابین ویلیامز عزیز شاد

Neil's dad was like, 'You got the opportunities I never even dreamt of having' Meaning seizing the day for him didn't mean seizing the day from life, from nature for the sake Poetry, Beauty, Romance & Love. For him, It only meant to seize things from the world and your heart in order to survive.

Oh captain my captain! Carpe diem 🫶

This movie is truly amazing. It changed my life

nice video

Art keeps us alive. Cinema keeps me alive.

I am a English major who wants to work as an editor in a publishing house. I constantly get the condescending little look when I tell people that. You can tell people think STEM is the only worthwhile path, and all other fields are frivolous, that I don’t know how low paying passion industries are and I am an aspiring failure waiting to be blindsided. It can be disheartening. This movie reminded me that literature is worth pursuing because stories are so profoundly important to the identity of individuals and cultures. They are the things we come home to after a hard day and share with the people we love, and the people we want to understand. I know myself well enough to know that even if I did pursue a STEM job, I’d be miserable. Literature is what I was meant to do and there’s nothing wrong with that (in fact, it’s wonderful!). Money is not the only value that matters, and it’s comforting to be reminded

Awesome video. You should keep making more of these!

O capiton my caption

one of the most beautiful and ingenuine interpretations of this movie. it is a gift to surmise this coherently and beautifully without losing the essence of the story. 🎉🎉

Living life is not everyone's cup of tea

Is there any way to connect you?

❤❤🎉🎉

At the conclusion of this video I stood on my desk and yelled out o Captain my Captain

amazing video on an amazing movie

The one thing i know after watching this movie was that I'll never be the same again. This movie changed something in me that i couldn't recognize before..

masterpiece

I went out of my way to use this film in my english class and to conapre it to songs from queen, i want to break free and under pressure as i felt those songs reassembled what those students wanted and felt. Ione of the very few movies that made me actually cry and im still in awe of how great this movie is and forever will be. I'm also proud to say it was directed by an aussie and as an aussie its a classic

I watched this film in the cinema 5 times, and I have rewatched this film on DVD about three hundred times.

I cried when they stand for Mr Keating in the last scene of the movie which means you need to stand for your own base on your perspective, don't let other drown your inner voice, don't let other killed the burning light inside you.

Omg i just want t say u r amazing ❤❤

this movie makes me ugly cry so hard that i get a migraine

One of the most beautiful movies ever made!

Doesn’t each boy standing on the desk one by one display the danger of conformity?

i just finished watching the movie for the first time. i have never cried so hard over a movie, over art.

It’s a beautiful movie, thank you for covering it.

that´s why I decided to learn english. great video!

I know im late i just finished watching this.. screaming , crying, throwing up …

I love this movie. Profoundly impacted my life. I'm more of a poetry man than scientist now and that was certainly the best choice i've ever made!

I love this movie. It came to me at a time when I was having suicidal ideations and I wept when Keating says “That the powerful plays goes on and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?” It sounds silly but I stuck around because Robin Williams was telling me I wasn’t finished yet. Thank you for making this.

think of this, those who didn't stand up will be slaves to men and will never find happiness and will suffer the rest of their lives missing something.
