Im the first to admit that I get a little sappy when writing about Dead Poets Society. I first saw the film during my senior year of high school, and 16 years later its a movie that is still with me, one that I go back to time and time again.
Theres a little bit of formula at work here: A stuffy rep school, 1950s, a collection of impressionable young boys, and a teacher that will change their lives. But theres something at work that turns what could have been a forgettable, droll piece of saccharine storytelling into a classic. Part of it is Robin Williams as Mr. Keating, a young English teacher that uses poetry to teach them how to “Sieze the day,” to suck the marrow out of life, as Thoreau put it.
The poetry angle is an interested and unexpected one. And writer Tom Schulman and director Peter Weir have no confusion that the idea is a little corny. Putting a kid in front of the class, covering his eyes, and forcing him to free associate until he comes up with a verse about Walt Whitman? Sounds ridiculous, but it works. In fact, its one of the most powerful scenes in the film.
Thats because the kids in the film are just as good as Williams is here. Robert Sean Leonard is the ostensible star as Neil, a deeply repressed lad whos the class president type yet dreams of doing something artistic, despite the insistence by his father (Kurtwood Smith)() that he become a doctor. And then theres roommate Todd Anderson (Ethan Hawke), an intensely shy young man whos attending Welton Academy for the first time this year and will be memorably brought out of his shell, fighting all the way, by Keating. The other students of note -- Josh Charles as a lovesick kid and Gale Hansen as the unforgettable rebel “Nuwanda” -- are equally apt.
Ultimately the film revolves around Neils story, when he decides for the first time to defy his father and act in a local play -- as Puck, in A Midsummer Nights Dream, of all things. This leads to a series of catastrophic events that culminates in (spoiler alert from here on out) Neils suicide and the scapegoating/firing of Keating for it.
At once uplifting and emotionally crushing, theres no way to leave this movie without wanting to somehow improve your life and follow Keatings advice by seizing the day. Every time I watch the film Im compelled to complete some lingering project, plan a trip, move into a new house, or do something unforgettable. Weirs direction perfectly captures the 1950s mood -- an era of repression just on the verge of breaking wide open -- and Williams manages to keep his mania in check for the bulk of the film, trotting out an impression here or there when the story requires it.
In recent years, Dead Poets Society has become a curious platform for deconstruction and revisionism. Viewers wonder, among other things, whether Neil was so troubled because he was secretly gay. Whether Keating might genuinely be guilty of contributing to his death. Whether “Sieze the day” isnt such a great motto after all. Im not actually supporting any of these ideas per se, but the latter-day ruminating gives the film more weight than you might otherwise think, and it makes the movie all the richer for it.
First of all, this is movie is my all-time favorite, out of all the hundreds of films I have seen. However, every time I mention this film, I have to answer most people's quizzical looks with “It's a beautiful little 80s film that stayed in the 80s.” After seeing it for the 24th time since I first saw it 13th birthday, I can gladly say that this movie --t far and beyond the 80s, and the power and inspiration of the message can be felt every day.
Dead Poets Society is a most underrated film by a most underrated director whose inspiring, uplifting and moral tales firmly grounded in reality are not nearly as appreciated as they should be. Here, we see one of his very personal and cradled projects, and he shows the visual style and concentration on characters in which he is so affluent. His control of the camera and the characters are very strong and very smooth. The cinematography is near perfect, with every shot, along with the editing, seamless. Also very compelling are the color-tones in every scene, perfectly matching the mood and events of the scene. Could you say this is art? Absolutely.
Then we have the performances. Robin Williams continues in stride as one who has to-date remained the most touching, heart-wrenching, awe-inspiring comedians with inarguable acting talent (he still remains my most favorite performer on the film screen). His Professor John Keating is a man who embodies every professor who you thought was cool and respectable, every person who taught or enlightened you in something out of the ordinary. In fact - dare I say it? - he teaches something EXTRAORDINARY! We have the tragically underrated Robert Sean Leonard in his role as the free-thinking catalyst student Neil. Why is this man not a household name/Hollywood heavyweight? His roles are always full of inspiration, energy, and tragic emotion that never fail to move an audience. His role in this movie is fresh, unhindered, and never pretentious as the cautionary tale of the movie. And then we have Ethan Hawke in one of his earliest roles as the point-of-view character. The entire supporting cast is very strong, also, providing the foundation and serve as the various emotional ties that further involve us in the story. Josh Charles's role as Knox Overstreet is a role that almost all guys can relate to wholeheartedly. And of course, all the actors who are in that Dead Poets Society do a fine job.

What Makes A Boy A Man
Daed Poets Society
There are certain films that can heavily shock your soul, then elicit your thinking, and finally change your life. No doubt Dead Poets Society is one of these infrequent films. It is a film about a teacher and his students. It is a film about perseverance and change. It is a film about love and cruelty.
The film is set in the United States in 1959. It shows us a series of things which happened to Mr.Keating and the young boys in Wilton Preparatory School.
Mr.John Keating is certainly the main character of this film. He is a respectable teacher with a high self-cultivation. He has an advanced conception which is different from tranditional educatin. The other two main characters are Neil, a boy who is keen on performing, and Todd, a boy with a little shyness. From Todd, I see how a boy grows into a man.
The film starts with the opening ceremony of Wilton Preparatory School. Todd, a shy boy, starts his school life with his roommate, Neil. On the first lesson, their taecher, Mr.Keating, just told them ‘Seize the day, make your life extraordinary’. He reads Whitman’s poet Oh Captain! My Captain. He taught the students to swim against the steam and to be themselves but not to perform. Students regard Mr.Keating as a different teacher.
Neil rebuilds the ‘Dead Poets Society’. The menbers fall in love with poets, as well as Todd. When Mr.Keating asks students to try writing a poem, Todd has no idea. Mr.Keating is quite angry. With Mr.Keating’s stimulation, the youngster first time shows great talent, reading his own poem loudly.
On the evening of Todd’s birthday, he talks about his birthday present which is the same every year and his brother ,who is so excellent that makes him feel inferior, with Neil, with sadness and a little self-mockery on his face. Neil encourages him a lot. Finally, Todd breaks up the disgusting present. Todd smiles to Neil, from the bottom of his heart.
Neil has a sading ending. After performing on the stage, Neil’s father takes him home and warns him again. He just wants his son to be a doctor. Feeling despairing, in the midmight, Neil commits suicide with a gun. Both Neil’s parents and the school think that Mr.Keating is the only reason for Neil’s death and decide to fire him. A second before Mr.Keating leaves the classroom, Todd stands up on the desk for his
captain, with the menbers of Dead Poets Society followed. At that time, Todd throws out his recreance and becomes a real man.
That is the end of this film. I have to say that Neil’s death is a certain event, whether there is a ‘John Keating’ or not. It is not hard to see the long distance between ideality and reality. What Mr.Keating said and taught just strengthens the conflict between Neil’s heart and traditional conception. Neil despairs, but Todd doesn’t. We can see that Todd learns a lot from Neil and Mr.Keating, such as optimist, perseverance, courage and many other qualities which he doesn’t have before. So he stands up, and dares to shout what he thinks.
I love the boy named Todd and his growth. I love the teacher called Captain and his freedom. I love the beauty of dream, as well as the cruelty of reality. The film is not only a profound story but also a sincere advice. Seize the day, make your life extraodinary. We just need to be ourselves and grow up step by step, with a clear conscience and a tenacious spirit, like a boy grows into a man.

二、诗歌、美丽、浪漫、爱情,才是我们活着的意义。
《英语诗歌五百年》序言:要完全理解诗歌,我们首先必须了解它的格调、韵律、修辞手法,然后提两个问题:第一,诗主题如何艺术地实现;第二,诗主题的重要性。
To fully understand poetry, we must first be fluent with its meter, rhyme and figures of speech, then ask two questions: 1) How artfully has the objective of the poem been rendered and 2) How important is that objective?
我们不是在接水管。
We're not laying pipe。
惟有在梦中,人们才是真正自由的。
Only in their dreams can men be truly free。
学会自己思考,学会欣赏文学和语言。不管别人怎么说,文学和语言的确能改变世界。
Learn to think for yourselves again. No matter what anybody tells you, words and ideas can change the world。
我们读诗、写诗并不是因为它们好玩,而是因为我们是人类的一分子,而人类是充满激情的。没错,医学、法律、商业、工程,这些都是崇高的追求,足以支撑人的一生。但诗歌、美丽、浪漫、爱情,这些才是我们活着的意义。
We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering -- these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love -- these are what we stay alive for。
(梭罗)死亡诗人致力于吸取生命的精华。
The Dead Poets was dedicated to “sucking the marrow out of life”。
我们是一群浪漫主义者。我们不仅仅是念诗,诗从我们舌间滑落,就像蜜糖。情绪高涨,女人亢奋,灵魂驰骋。
We weren't a Greek organization. We were Romantics. We didn't just read poetry, we let it drip from our tongues like honey. Spirits soared, women swooned and gods were created。
(梭罗)我步入丛林/因为我希望生活得有意义/我希望活得深刻/吸取生命中所有的精华/把非生命的一切都击溃/以免当我生命终结/发现自己从没有活过
I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of put to rout all that was not life, and not, when I had come to die, discover that I had not lived。
(丁尼生)来吧,我的朋友/寻找更新世界尚为时不晚/我决心已定,要驶过夕阳尽头/尽管我们不再有昔日的伟力,可以震天撼地/我们仍有着,同样的英雄的心/时间和命运,使它衰老/但坚强意志仍在/让我们去奋斗,去探索,去发现/永不屈服
(Alfred Lord Tennyson)Come my friends, 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world for my purpose holds to sail beyond the sunset. And though we are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;-- One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will. To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield。
然后我有了信仰/然后我有了想象/我被他们沉迷的嘲笑所感染/然后我看见刚果河/在黑土地上流过/在森林中划下一道金色的沟壑(语言的节奏感)
Then I had religion, then I had a vision. I could not turn from their revel in derision. Then I saw the Congo creeping through the black, cutting through the forest with a golden track。
三、要敢于开拓自己的天地
语言的目的只有一个:交流(学生)追求女人(老师)
language was developed for one endeavor, and that is?
To communicate...No,to woo women。
站上讲台,用不同的眼光来看待事物。
we must constantly look at things in a different way。
一旦觉得自己懂得,就必须换一种角度来看。这可能显得有些荒唐,或者愚蠢,但必须试一下。同样读书的时候,不要只想作者怎么看,想想你自己怎么看。
Just when you think you know something, you have to look at it in another way. Even though it may seem silly or wrong, you must try! Now, when you read, don't just consider what the author thinks. Consider what you think。
你们必须努力寻找自己的声音,因为你越迟开始寻找,找到的可能性就越小。
Boys, you must strive to find your own voice. Because the longer you wait to begin, the less likely you are to find it at all。
梭罗说“大多数人都生活在平静的绝望中”。别陷入这种境地,冲出来。别像老鼠逃跑似的,看看你的周围,要敢于开拓自己的天地。
Most men lead lives of quiet desperation。(Thoreau)Don't be resigned to that. Break out! Don't just walk off the edge like lemmings。
四、做一个真正的上帝!
对我来说,运动只是一种让其他人把我们推向极致的机会。
For me, sport is actually a chance for us to have other human beings push us to excel。
与逆境不屈抗争,以无畏的气势面对敌人。
Oh to struggle against great odds. To meet enemies undaunted。
做一个世界的水手,游遍所有的港口。
To be a sailor of the world, bound for all ports。
我要做生活的主宰,而不是奴隶。
Oh, I live to be the ruler of life, not a slave。
走上绞刑台,面对行刑的枪口,我息安之如泰。
To mount the scaffolds. To advance to the muzzle of guns with perfect nonchalance。
舞蹈、鼓掌、兴奋、欢叫、跳跃、飘飘荡荡、滚滚向前
To dance, clap hands, exalt, shout, skip, roll on, float on。
哦,让生活从此变成一首欢乐的诗。
Oh, to have life henceforth the poem of new joys。
做一个真正的上帝!
To indeed be a god!
五、主题简单无妨,只是不要太俗套
1.爱(诗歌和生活的重要主题)
我在她微笑中看到了甜蜜/她的眼睛闪烁着光芒/但生活如此复杂/我已满意/只要知道/只要知道/她还活着
I see a sweetness in her smile. Blight light shines from her eyes. But life is complete; contentment is mine, Just knowing that... just knowing that she's alive。
2.主题简单无妨,只是不要太俗套
Sometimes the most beautiful poetry can be about simple things. Just don't let your poems be ordinary。
3.惠特曼“站在世界屋脊上,我喊出我野性的狂叫”
I sound my barbaric yawp over the rooftops of the world。
一个牙齿流汗的疯子
a sweaty-toothed madman。
我闭上眼睛,他的形象在我眼前晃悠
I close my eyes. this image floats beside me。
一个牙齿流汗的疯子,瞪得我心怦怦直跳
A sweaty-toothed madman with a stare that pounds my brain。
他伸出手,掐信我的脖子。
His hands reach out and choke me。
他一直在念叨真理。
all the time he's 。
真理就像一床总让你双脚冰凉的毯子/你怎么扯,怎么拽,总也不够/踢也好,打也好,它总也盖不住我们/从我们哭着降生/到我们奄奄一息/它只会盖住你的脸/不管你如何痛苦/不管你如何痛苦/如何叫喊
Truth is like, like a blanket that always leaves your feet cold. You push it, stretch it, it'll never be enough. You kick at it, beat it, it'll never cover any of us. From the moment we enter crying to the moment we leave dying, it will just cover your face as you wail and cry and scream。
六、你们用不着表演,完全为你自己。
坚持与从俗不同的信仰的困难。
the difficulty in maintaining your own beliefs in the face of others。
我们都有一种被人接受的需要。但是你必须坚持自己的信仰是独特的是你自己的,哪怕别人认为它们很怪,或者很讨厌,哪怕一群人都说,那太差。
we all have a great need for acceptance. But you must trust that your beliefs are unique, your own, even though others may think them odd or unpopular, even though the herd may go。
罗伯特·弗洛斯特:希望你们也找到自己的路,找到自己的步伐、步调,任何方向,任何东西都行,不管是自负也好,愚蠢也好,什么都行。
I want you to find your own walk right now. Your own way of striding, pacing. Any direction. Anything you want. Whether it's proud, whether it's silly, anything. Gentlemen, the courtyard is yours。
你们用不着表演,完全为你自己。
You don't have to perform. Just make it for yourself。
要敢于逆流而上。
Swim against the stream。
Is Mr. Keating a good teacher? Frankly speaking, I am not sure about the answer this time. Before the movie started, I thought it’s easy to answer, because I had watched it twice in recent years.
I believe that most of us, have taken Mr. Keating as a hero of freedom, a warrior against conservatism and a romantic with hope and enthusiasm. So it’s needless to say that I was inspired and convulsed again, but at the same time, which is different from the former, I felt sad and frustrated without rhyme or reason, and in the end of the movie I can’t help sobbing and feeling awful in some sense because I’m not familiar with the others and after all I’m a man and most of all, an adult.
All of these bad moods make me feel that Mr. Keating is not a good teacher, although he is a good person, an excellent poet and a brilliant ideologist. He succeeded in evoking the original sensation to freedom, individuality and love not only of most of the students in the WALE? School, but also of most of us, but the costs are tremendous, which are already out of his control and even some of which are out of his imagination. Kick lost his life, Nowanda lost his future and Keating lost his career, his favorite career, maybe his confidence and happiness were taken away together, and I lost my former position, which made me realized that I am not better than the headmaster. He and I are birds of a feather flock together, which really made me feel pathetic and helpless.
I don’t know when it happened, that I got used to living in tradition and discipline, which I still believe can bring me safety and a bright future. I really want to “Yawp” together with Anderson and walk my own steps, taking the road of life as my own courtyard, even though Mr. Keating is Mr. Cheating or Mr. Kidding. After all, he helped us enjoy a scene of movement, which is in a powerful and unconstrained style. It is paradoxical that I love the progress and hate the end.
