Review of Dead Poets Society (1989) by Srinath P — 22 Nov 2013

A top-class, great, very unique movie. It had a masterful, very original and well carried out story, and excellent acting from Williams as well as the rest of the boys. It's very fleshed out and well-rounded.

This movie is not a traditional, cliche "inspirational" film. It defies the standard plot formula for an "inspiring" movie at every turn. By the end of the film, you won't be bursting with joy, and I was actually really scared for the kids through most of the film.

At the end, however, you'll probably realize that despite its relative gloominess towards the end, this is a great, very even, very inspiring movie. Congrats to everyone involved with the film on a great movie made.
