Carpe diem
Carpe diem!
Seize the day, Boys!
Make your lives extraordinary.
Because we are food for worms,
Believe it or not
Each and everyone of us in this room is one day going to stop breathing, turn cold and die.
When I was university student, I saw this movie titled “Dead Poets Society” and then I bought the video tape immediately. For about 20 years, the video tape has disappeared. The movie has been forgotten in my memory. Recently, I found the DVD at the Warehouse by chance. Without any hesitance, I bought and enjoyed watching the movie.
This is just a human drama sets in a strict boy’s private school in USA. Academy Award winner Robin Williams plays the lead roles a charismatic English teacher, John Keating. His unconventional teaching methods breathe new life into the curriculum steeped in tradition. With his wit and wisdom, Keating inspires their students to purse individual passions and to make their lives extraordinary.
Even though there are no actions and special effects that current generation like, this movie is full of moving and heartbreaking moments. The most admirable thing is the excellent cast. Especially, 7 teenagers are very distinguished and played their own characters very well as if they were real at the moment.
I strongly recommend this to all ages group, especially teenagers and their parents. I think that most people tend to respect only academic success, but everybody has their own talents God gave us. Not only academic success but also any other subjects should be equally respected, I believe.
Gather ye rose buds while ye may,
Old time is still a-flying and
this same flower that smiles today,
tomorrow will be dying
