Movies like Dead Poets Society make me want to be a boy and experience boy friendship so badly.

Like maybe it was said before but I feel like people identifying themselves as women don't have movies like this, with a bunch of girls experiencing teenage years.

A movie with like no sexual tension, just a group of girls being girls and talking about their thoughts and existential aspects of life, not as women but as humans. Because I feel like (it's my opinion, I can be wrong though) when there's women involved in any friend group in movies or book there's always some romantic interests.

And I know romance is important, love is expectations and beauty and life, but it's not the only aspect of a woman life right? What triggers me is that the romance is often the main part of a woman characterization.

A thing I love about dps is that the romance isn't the main aspect of the plot. However if you take Ginny and Chris for example, the only plus they're adding to the film is romantic interest (with respectively Charlie and Knox). Same for the two girls Charlie brings to the cave. And I get that in this movie particularly the story is centered on the boys, but why aren't the girls, I don't know, integrated in the club too? (they kinda are in the book I think but still).

Anyway, I feel like there's not really a problem with how girls are depicted in the dps movie (not the book, book Knox doesn't exist to me), but I wanted to point out that fact. I also know that this movie's from 1989, so there wasn't as much gender questioning as nowadays.

However, a thing why dps is so good and life-changing is because there's no gender-coding. You can be a girl and relate to Neil and his passion for his main intrest and his relationship with his father, you can be any gender and resonate with Todd's anxiety and quietness, you can be anyone and relate to how profoundly sincere Keating is in his want to transmit and help and share to those young boys.

In dps the boys are just being friends and experiencing life, and it's so real and true that it ends up painfully good. I want a movie like that with girls so bad. If you guys have some recommendations, I'll gratefully take them!

have you ever wanted to kiss your roommate so badly that you punched him just because even bad physical contact is better than none? and then you really wanted to actually hurt him because you two drunkenly made out last night and the guilt and the need for more and the unspeakableness of that is eating you up from the inside and it's all his fault, isn't it? and now you're fighting and kissing but he's still bleeding and everything is too hot and messy and horrible and the most amazing ever?

because these two have.

if you hate richard cameron, we actually have beef. like are you just purposefully ignorant towards the message of dead poets society or what

richard cameron was a boy in a world full of men, one that he so desperately tried to fit in to.

Your honor he’s just a little guy, surely he can’t be responsible for- *several explosions on the background*

"Your favorite Dead Poet's alive and very well"

"Best known for his work in 1989's Dead Poets Society (in which he plays the aspiring actor turned... well, dead poet)"

Now it all makes sense why we don't have him in talk shows so often (paragraph 3)

He's the realest actor I've ever known and I love him so much (for that and for other reasons)

january hurts as it always does, but todd feels like the weight on his chest has eased a little.

the soil under his worn sneakers is frozen, the pale winter sun makes him squint. todd's breath hangs in the air as wisps of cotton candy on his morning walks, and everyone in philadelphia seems to have a dog.

he scratches their ears when he gets caught up in conversations in parks, and he likes that.

he likes many things - orange juice and buying the paper, watching wrestling matches with his colleagues, cinnamon chewing gum and car rides and dusty desert wind.

the world is very big and philadelphia is sunny even in winter, even when the cold seeps into his apartment.

last sunday todd saw protesters marching down the streets like they owned them, holding posters and hands and thermos bottles of coffee, and he thinks neil would have liked that.

a quick moment- todd catching the eye of a freckled teen clutching the hand of his partner, a lanky boy still half stuck in childhood - but it made him smile, because that could have been neil- it isn't, and it will never be, but it could have been.

these boys will be happy for all the times neil wasn't, and todd will scratch dog ears and eat toast and stub his toe and inhale the january chill for all the times neil can't.

the radio plays the news and his laminate flooring is lit by winter sun, a perfect square. todd buys tulips and paints the counter top and feels less heavy than he used to.
