Ziting Lin 11/3/13 Dead Poets Society It is a good movie for many stereotype teachers and parents to think about themselves. Although the final result of this movie is an unexpected tragedy‚ I believe that Mr. Keating got a perfect success when most of the students stood on the desk; the respectful teacher is their captain in their whole life.

When I first saw Dead Poets Society‚ it was nothing I expected. The film is quite serious and it is without question the best movie I’ve ever seen. It takes place in 1959 at Welton Academy‚ a private collage prep school for boys where discipline is the most important goal and any demonstration of a free thought is strictly prohibited .
