Analyzing One of My Favorite Movies
The film Dead Poets Society is a coming-of-age story that took place at Welton Academy in Vermont. This movie was staged in the 1950s, at a prestigious all-boys academy throughout the fall and winter semester. Dead Poets Society was directed by Peter Weir, and featured many well-known actors such as Robin Williams, Ethan Hawke, and Robert Sean Leonard. Robin Williams plays the most influential character in the film, Mr. Keating. As the movie moves along, viewers will begin to realize how Mr. Keating goes against the traditions of Welton Academy, and helps his students grow in their own way, regardless of their parent’s feelings or the schools respected tradition. Dead Poets Society shows the audience new levels of individualism, self-growth, and the effects of stress and pressure from family and peers.
