Review of Dead Poets Society (1989) by Yunhee C — 13 Jun 2018

While watching this movie, I thought it was similar to the society of South Korea.

We make a great effort to get higher scores because the college where we can go with really small scores changes. In this situation, what John Keating told me about Carpe Diem made me think about what I want to do now. I think the key point of this movie is 'Oh, captain my captain' This is because children who were oppressed by their parents were the first ones to express their thoughts. John Keating, who is called Captain to them, plays a role of pushing them from behind so that they can say what they want. I think the real teacher is the one behind the scenes who pushes the children along their way, rather than the one who shouts and writes in front. It was a little boring in the beginning, but as the children spoke their own voice, they became more absorbed in the movie. The scene that the children shouted that "Oh captain my captain" ,when Keating left school, made me move.
