Why Dead Poets Society Is A Masterpiece

"Dead Poets Society" is such an incredible film, In this video I talk about how this film uses imagery to get its message across to the audience. What do you think? Leave a comment below!

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.

[@darkbunnyfilm]

Love that ❤️🙏

[@GauriSharma-i8h]

i cried for every scene after neils death

[@lambadajewo.4143]

Fact: the soundtrack that plays in the background as Todd learns Neil is dead is called 'Carpe Diem'.

[@darkbunnyfilm]

I didn't know that

[@charisleighmusic]

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.

[@darkbunnyfilm]

Film is truly a powerful medium ❤️🙏

[@nethertaxi3719]

my teacher had us watch Dead Poets Society last year and yeah tbh probably my favourite movie ever. the more i thought about it after we finished it, the deeper the symbolism and imagery became. it's such a deep movie that brings me happiness even though the ending was absolutely heart wrenching (seriously it was a tiny class like 5 if us and we all started sobbing). tbh i really hope everyone who watches this movie is able to learn this lesson

[@darkbunnyfilm]

Its a magical movie, and it really is fantastic when we get to share it with others who haven't experienced it yet. Its really one of those films that is a pure journey to experience your 1st watch through.

[@doloreslehmann8628]

I think you perfectly described the difference between knowledge and wisdom. All the teachers just pass on knowledge, Keating teaches them wisdom. One favourite quote of mine from this movie is "Truth is a blanket that always leaves your feet cold."

[@darkbunnyfilm]

A beautiful quote ❤

[@beetlejuus]

If you're in high school, please watch this movie. It will change your life, as it changed mine.

[@darkbunnyfilm]

Agreed!!

[@garrylarry890]

It really did. Also I hope that anyone watching this video already watched this movie

[@heidibarker9550]

This movie just gets more and more intricate evry time someone mentions it.

[@darkbunnyfilm]

Its so GOOD!

[@benjaminroe311ify]

One thing to think about with GREAT stories is that they will always seem more deep, more intricate the more you study the and talk about them. It's because the themes and characters were portrayed soooo well that it activates our minds and souls. The same reason people read and reread Shakespeare, Dostoevsky, Elliot, Dante, Melville et al. again and again, and find new and diverse truths, is the same reason people do when watching and thinking about Dead Poet's Society. Great art activates our minds and hearts, our very souls. It can be said that we become "more human" when experiencing these great movies, books, plays etc. It what makes them truly great!

[@maritekpl]

Awesome essay. I've never heard this take on the movie before and it's quite interesting. I love getting new philosophical viewpoints on my favourite movies. Thank you. 🙂

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

You know what hurts the most when i watch this movie? How the parents of the boys don't care about their feelings. They use those kids as tools.

[@darkbunnyfilm]

It's sad that they are trying to make these boys I to something they aren't without letting them express themselves naturally. How they live through them, and make them live a life they never wanted.

[@romanov3937]

@@darkbunnyfilm The never-made sequel would have shown how the remaining boys were doing, Todd ditched his family and was going to become a teacher.

I was waitng to see a funny film about friends and teenagers, but this film was a truly masterpiece.

Where is still is a film about friends and teenagers, the messages it conveys to the audience are so inspiring

[@randomess61]

I remember watching this movie a while ago, and even though I thought it was enjoyable, I didn't think too much of it at the time. Revisiting it now really hits different, especially the whole part about learning how to appreciate the beauty in life... Thanks for the video! KZbin recommended it at a good time for me

i remember watching this movie for the first time in 2021, in my sophomore year of high school. i was so incredibly touched by its message, and i remember crying for days over it. the film still holds such a special place in my heart. i even put a quote from the movie as my senior quote earlier this may!

[@darkbunnyfilm]

That's amazing? What was it that truly captured you about this movie? Would love to hear it. Its such an incredible film

[@rexellerainbow1173]

I've never thought of it but now that you've shared this it seems so obvious. I've only recently watch this movie but I've loved it ever since. Love watching people talk about my favourites and this movie truly deserves more people talking about it. Thank you for this! :D

The classroom is also just shot to look bigger for Mr. Keating.

[@darkbunnyfilm]

[@rubeng370]

It's a perfect movie to first watch in High School and i dont think theres a movie like this or better than DPS since then 😮 10/10

[@wow9161]

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.

[@darkbunnyfilm]

He should have seized the relationship with Neil before it was too late..

[@dlwlrmagic]

I watched this movie last year and I feel like I won't forget it for many years

Awesome review! Haven't heard this about the lights but I see it the same way. I always remember how dark the scene at the end with Niel is and then his father turning on light after light to finally discover a "truth" a dark one at that.

[@darkbunnyfilm]

Thank you so much 🙏 Sometimes the truth is dark. This movie has such a beautiful message though

[@benjaminroe311ify]

@@darkbunnyfilm I think it's one of the best movies ever made. Certainly the best one made about finding your own unique voice in life. It does a great job of not only showing the value of THAT but also the obstacles that get in our way.

[@darkbunnyfilm]

It's one of the many things we stay alive for 🙏

[@chatterbox-y8k]

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.

[@darkbunnyfilm]

That's a really cool observation!

[@chatterbox-y8k]

​@@darkbunnyfilm Check out the Australian film 'Flirting' (1990). It's the sequel to 'The Year my Voice Broke' (1987). You'll see examples of boys' school culture (and particularly boarding schools) indicative of the 1950s-1960s in Austraila. Lots of scenes from the film on KZbin from the NFSA (National Film and Sound Archive of Australia). A few big names in that move too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/onvGfJyahc2lobcsi=_pNQx2ENKx1m_S9j

One the note of passing the lights from one to the other there is this other scene at the start of movie as well where welton students are holding candles and pass the flame from one kid to the other...

[@polls9673]

upon watching this video i rewatched the final scene because I couldn't help myself, i then noticed that as mr keating leaves the office in the poetry room, there is a box of lightbulbs left on the shelf in the room, the light is also left on in there as he shuts the door. this feels light a symbol for him leaving his legacy and the tools with which to pass on the knowledge, the love, poetry, beauty and romance. i dont know, your video just really resonated with me and i found your analysis to be very poignant.

[@michaelp.9921]

Thank you for the insightful video essay! (If I may, I remember vividly, since I had graduated from college with a degree in Cinema in 1987, and then ran this film as a projectionist in a first run theater! ....certain scenes from the film, its sublime score by Maurice Jarre, and its primary message, almost a warning to me, - has stayed with me, stuck on me, not only for days after watching it on its initial run, but in a way constantly in the background to this day......)

[@darkbunnyfilm]

That's wonderful, what did you get to do with your degree? Would love to hear more about your journey.

[@michaelp.9921]

@@darkbunnyfilm: Thank you for your compassionate reply! To answer you, it has been a bit complex, and a bit of a struggle due to personal challenges that persist to this day. To try to summarize here, I will just say that, to pay the bills, I worked as a union projectionist for 25 years; but at the same time, at least for the first 10 years after graduating, I applied at a few local video studios and was able to meet a few local artists/video people in the area who are still friends. I worked on a number of locally produced projects, including a low-budget feature, and a music video show produced for a small station. (I became specialized in cinematography/videography, and also in studying and occasional production of animation.....) But after not having made the progress in a direction I wanted, I decided to go off on my own and make my own experimental film on a subject I'm very passionate about: horses! For the past 25 years, I've followed and filmed a herd of horses in Montana, and am trying to create another unique, somewhat experimental work shot almost entirely in slow-motion. If you are interested, I would be obliged (?) to perhaps converse with you more via e-mail about this and other interests and studies in film/animation.....(Thank you!) 😌 (p.s., I'd like to close here by stating that, although important, being a "free thinker" sometimes comes at a price when one ends up with viewpoints that are non-conformist or even controversial.....)

I wasn't going to watch this video even though I was deeply moved when I first saw Dead Poets Society in a theatre (on June 7, 1989), but I clicked on it out of curiosity ("Does this video include new insights and appreciation? Something I didn't already know?). Yes, yes, and yes. It's cool getting older and drawing lines between points. I've written the draft of a note I'm planning to mail on January 1, 2024 -- beginning with the words: Love Admire Appreciate Respect Delight. My note will include a substantial gift to a 35-year-old "adopted" nephew who has a wife and three children, and those words express my feelings toward and observations about him. Was the seed of my note and gift planted 34 years ago when I saw Dead Poets Society? Yes, yes, and yes.
