I am glad that you loved this movie. To me it is the single best performance of Robin Williams' career. It isn't even the one he got the Oscar for. When he died, I still remember it very well. Myself and so many others with My Captain, My Captain tributes on Twitter and Facebook. I think most of us wish we had a teacher like Mr. Keating. Someone who dared to care, dared to inspire. Who said, rules are fine, but some rules...are meant to be broken. Not all traditions are good. It was the honor and excellence that this school had forgotten the meaning of. It was only Discipline and Tradition they were after. Everyone who sees this film, everyone wants to just take that gun and shove it up Neil's father's ass. Which speaks to the performance by Kurtwood Smith. People noticed that his mom was crying. His father thinks she is upset with Neil like he is. She is upset with her husband. She has been living under his thumb walking on egg shells as well. Unable to stand up to him. That is why they come after Mr. Keating. Mr. Perry can't accept blame for driving his son into a life he never wanted and unaliving himself. So he has to blame Keating. The school of course, desperate to avoid responsibility for this, is more than happy to use Keating as a sacrificial lamb to avoid a lawsuit. One hopes they didn't revoke his teaching license though. That he was able to go to another school, maybe the public school in the area and continue teaching. Maybe even have Charlie "Nuwanda" Daulton as a student there. I like to think that the ones who stood up for Keating also got expelled and went to the public school, reuniting with Keating. That is how I hope it played out. I would in some ways love to see a sequel. A different school, one of the kids having become a teacher and inspires the new students in the same way. Hopefully without a suicide ending. We could use a movie like that.

I watched this when i was in middle school and one scene totally changed my outlook on life. The scene where Robin Williams stands on the desk and says, "Just when you think you know something, you just look at it in a different way." This message hit me so hard and I've tried to live by it for the past 30+ years. It has done me wonders and helped me understand those around me and the struggles they experience. It has made me a more compassionate and patient person. I feel that this is a message that we should all strive to live by. Oh Captain my captain. RIP

Imo, it was more than that. He was almost an adult, and almost free of his tyrant dad (as Mr. Keating reminded him). His complaint all along was that his dad would never listen to what he wanted. "I could never talk to my dad the way I talk to you". (ie, shifting the blame to his dad), but then, in the big confrontation, his dad finally does ask him - "what do you feel?!", and Neil couldn't come up with anything ("nothing"). At that point, he felt totally defeated. He couldn't blame his dad anymore. At the moment he finally had a chance to stand up for himself and tell his dad, there was something 'weak and missing' in himself, and that wouldn't go away just because he turned 18. He would always be bound by his own fear of disappointing his parents. I just can't believe he would take his life to avoid one more year of military school. It was deeper than that. He had failed himself at the big moment.

@@GK-yi4xv Yes, and there's also an added queer-coded interpretation that can be taken despite authorial intent. We can't be sure none of it was intentional or if any of it was, but it seems somewhat deliberate. At the very least, the non-conformist nature of the movie does relate to a queer audience and their struggles. Now, we can have some examples of the themes chosen and the works within these themes. The choice of having Walt Whitman as the main poet discussed in the movie and how his work is employed in a few scenes with Todd (his poem and struggles), and with Todd and Neil (the chasing). Then the chosen play and character for Neil. Puck. Not a masculine character at all, but an androgynous fairy which could be an added insult for his father. The military also means conforming to typical examples of masculinity and heteronormativity. Neil talking with Keating mimics a coming out scene, with his worry about his father, not being able to tell him and Keating suggesting he acts for his father in order to conform to the norm. Might not have been the intent, but it fits into this narrative and a lot of queer people do read into it and appreciate the impact the movie can have.

You picking up on the time and clocks and minutes in association with Todd is a bit of a theme that I never picked up on, despite watching this movie multiple times! Great job! And like many others, I watched this on my final day of high school AP English, with a teacher who very much tried to embody Mr Keating. I will never forget how we gathered our desks in a circle and had debates, or memorizing a scene from Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead (the coin flips!), and how he also was our running and track and field coach. By the time of this movie being over, there wasn’t a dry eye in the class, including my teacher. I also had my first kiss while I played this movie for my first boyfriend, a year later. Ah, the memories.

I know not everyone sees it this way (and that’s okay because art is subjective) but I think that the queercoding to Neil and Todd’s storyline is immaculate. The use of Neil’s love for theater to represent his identity that he is finally getting to explore is beautiful, and the fact that his father doesn’t like him doing theater is directly tied to that, especially the conversation at 29:36, where he so clearly sees a “threat” to Neil that is bigger than just theater and the way that 29:49 seems like it could be the kind of moment where Neil was psyching himself up to come out. Obviously nothing explicitly happens in the movie, but I do think Todd also discovered his identity through his connection with Neil. Regardless of your interpretation of the queer subtext, I think that the movie is impeccable at showing how art and human connection bring out our true selves way more than tradition, rules, and formality

I mean... maybe? Either way, Neil and Todd form a strong connection, be it romantic or platonic. They certainly didn't show a hint of a romantic relationship in the movie. I've had strong relationships with other boys growing up that felt similar to this and were in no way sexual. But I can see how it would be hard to not anticipate romance if that is your perspective.

Your point about the father seeing his son's show before passing judgement rings true to me. In High School, I played football, because that's what my uncle (my father figure after my dad passed) always wanted me to do. After deciding I wasn't made for sport, I tried out for the musical my sophomore year. Our relationship was strained a bit for a few years, and it hurt immensely. Senior year, I got the lead in the musical, and my aunt dragged him to come see the show. Afterwards, he told me he could tell I had talent and passion, and told me how proud he was of me, and that's stuck with me to this day, nearly 20 years later.

I clicked as soon as I saw omg. I watched this movie years ago (I think in middle school) but I really didn’t pay much attention to it (because my dad put it on and I thought it would just be another one of his boring old movies with dated jokes and bland characters) About halfway through I remember being interested enough to keep watching but afterwards I only really remembered it as “the movie with the sad ending” so I never necessarily forgot it, it kind of just fell off my radar. At least it did until not too long ago when I watched it again on a whim and that time I actually paid attention to the message, and the story itself has inspired me so much. I related with Todd a lot in school and I was probably the shyest person you’d ever meet (I mean I hated even the thought of leaving the house) but this movie helped me realize how much I’ve changed and helped me see the future opportunities I have to improve myself and now I’m actually pursuing new experiences, meeting new people, and wanting to chase my dreams. If my younger self met the me I am now I don’t think she’d believe it. This movie is truly so special and means so much to me and I’m so happy that you enjoyed it.

He had one of the movie posters of the latter option on his wall when he was a teenager. You can only imagine how much of a dream it was that he eventually got to work closely with one of his idols.

For me the movie was about breaking from conformity and thinking for yourself. So much of the system we're used to is attuned to conformity and us conforming to it. It is up to each of us to open our eyes and question it. Neil dying was the system letting him down, not Neil letting down the system. If only his father had put forth a little more effort trying to understand his son instead of controlling his life.

I remember my mom made me watch this and I was a little bit weirded out from outside (from my teenage "pride"), but inside I really felt genuine interest because I had some time when I was really into poetry, I still feel the echoes of this movie. My mom passed away a few years ago, and this is still one of the movies that had moved me the most, every time I watch it. CARPE DIEM

You should absolutely show this to your son. My mom showed it to me when I was younger, and I thought it was great. You just need to pick the right age for them to see it

Angelina says "am I going to cry?"... We all know she is, and she is showing us she is going to cry. Well it turns out not only can I not watch the movie without crying, I cannot even watch the reaction to it without crying. I'm not just at the moment, either. It's almost all the way. The thing is my tears are not just for the story and the characters, the movie reminds me of all my time wasted, and all my opportunities missed, and the reasons why I quit teaching school after 25 years in it (and loving the calling and the job). And how I am a big fat lazy coward, still wasting my time and missing my opportunities. This movie hurts on many levels. So, Angelina - a friendly approval for your tears. As usual - loving your reaction.

13:17 Of course this movie has some great cinematography. John Seale was the cinematographer and also did the camera work on 'Mad Max: Fury Road' as well as 'BMX Bandits'!

I watched this on VHS in high school and wish I had seen it in the theater. Such an impactful movie in Robin Williams’ career. Speaking of Ethan Hawke, please react to Before Sunrise. It is dialogue heavy but a wonderful meet cute.

you can probably stream a performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream somewhere. it's not my favorite bit of Shakespeare, but it will do. he's playing the character Puck.

This movie is wonderful and tragic... and has a special place in my heart like probably no other. I didnt watch it in theatre unfortunately but in early 90s on TV. Was a bit older than the boys in the movie but close enough. I remember when I watched it the second or third time it cut even deeper than before and in the final scene when some of the students stepped on the chair and showed their personality... I said to myself: I will be a person that stands up and steps on the chair. And I cried like a baby. Now I am in the mid 50s... and... I often ask myself: Did I? Did I support beauty and poetry and love... and all those elements that let us FEEL and are the reason to live for? Did I stepped up against forced conformity and oppression and hypocrisy? Probably not. I am not sure. Definitely not enough. But at least somehow... I tried... and still try. Thank you for your wonderful reaction and your tears that I shared with you through all the dimensions of our universe. Wish you all the best 🙂

I watched this movie when I was about 13 years old and I can positively say it changed my life. To this day it is one of my favourite films of all time and I already liked poetry before watching it but it really got me into writing and just changed my outlook on life. As a 13 year old boy I was obviously younger than Todd and Neil and the others but I think it was a perfect age to watch it for the first time

Ethan Hawke, my word, such a stellar performance. An incredible reaction. Thank you for your candor & emotion. I saw this at the movies 1989, & I sobbed at the last few moments. My eyes have never been dry, while viewing countless times since. RIP Robin Williams.

One of your best reactions. This one leaves its mark. A couple factoids. The scene where Todd (Ethan Hawke) cries out in the snow was done in one take. It was originally supposed to be an interior scene but Peter Weir, the director, noticed that the snow was letting up, so he moved it outside. He told Hawke just to do what came naturally to him in that moment. He gave him no direction. Robin Williams was attracted to the role bc Mr. Keating was the kind of teacher that Robin wished he always had when he was in school.

Good timing. Just finished a semester of teaching Anatomy and Physiology. I had a student say my class was difficult but fascinating and she learned a lot due to my "unconventional" style. Previously I had a student say "I miss your class...just not your exams." Another student told me that the fact that 2 days after I got assaulted in the NYC Subway (swollen and stitched up) I was back teaching the class like normal inspired him to do more with his life. I am not Robin Williams. But I have made a difference for students.

The first time I watched it was in high school english class. And ever since I wanted to form my own dead poets society. Also I knew that when I was old enough to get a tattoo I'd want "suck the marrow out of life" tatted on me. Im glad you liked the movie. Its one of my all time favorites.

I first saw it being senior in high school in 1990. It was one of our school's compulsory cultural outings. I reacted just as you did. I can't say for kids in other forms but in my form there was no dry eye.

the movie was fiction but it could just as easily been a rue story, aid you notice almost no special effects either, just a powerful story and outstanding acting/ I cried too, I'm not ashamed to say it for the reasons you did. It starts out light and then takes a turn. Excellent reaction, I can't help you with subscriptions as I'm already a subscriber but I'm sure you'll reach your goal...all the best!
