I walked into English today thinking that I would be walking out crying 90 minutes later from a near-impossible poetry in class essay. Much to my approval, Mr. Mullins had a surprise for us. When he announced what movie that we would be watching I figured it would be one of those school documentaries which I napped during. However, I was very pleased with Dead Poet Society. I haven’t really been a fan of old movies, and figured that such a movie about English wouldn’t attract me at all. Dead Poet Society (or the 50-ish minutes that we watched) was a very interesting movie. I think that part of it is due to that Robert Sean Leonard, Robin Williams and Red Foreman (no clue his actor name) are some of my favorite actors.
Not considering the cinematic elements that make movies appealling, I am legitimately intrigued with the Dead Poet Society concept. The in-depth and personal interactions that the characters have with poetry is very interesting. This movie sheds some light on the empowering and enthralling side of poetry, which is much more attracting than the view of intelligent, classy poetry that I hold. The structure and literary elements of poetry don’t do much for me, but I think this Dead Poet Society stuff is really cool. I’m excited to finish the movie!
