"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!

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

I didn't know that
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

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.
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.

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.

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."

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!
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. 🙂

@@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.....)

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.

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.
