DEAD POETS SOCIETY (1989) dir. peter weir

[makeyourlivesextraordinary]

It’s always “what is your favorite color?” and never “what are your thoughts on the intensely queer coded relationship of Neil Perry and Todd Anderson in the 1989 film ‘Dead Poets Society’”

[makeyourlivesextraordinary]

Another (slightly more upbeat) DPS script highlight reel

I love him I love him I love him I love him I love him I love him I love him I love him I love him I love him I love him I love him I love him I love him I love-

Your honor he is perfect(ly cast)

All of the poets’ constant butchering of “Carpe Diem” for The Sake of the Meme is something perhaps better lost to time but I still miss it, it was funny.

Except Carpe Breastum. That’s gonna haunt me for the rest of my days.

Next up, live footage of the average writer being asked a basic question about their work at any point in time:

He is me I is he.

And, of course, a brief summary of the entire film:

[makeyourlivesextraordinary]

i dedicated flufftober day 9 to todd anderson bc i love him so much

[makeyourlivesextraordinary]

you know when todd is like i won’t read at poetry meetings nobody is gonna want me there i can’t read out loud i won’t do it and neil just looks at him like really looks at him and in the softest voice goes “you really have a problem with that don’t you” and he’s not judging todd at all he just finally understands how todd works and the fact that public speaking (especially to people he barely knows) is something that todd cannot handle and that’s okay and once he understands he just immediately is like okay how do i fix this because i want todd here and i want him to enjoy this with us and he just goes oh perfect i’ll rearrange some things and todd will wanna come :) it’s just so touching and todd probably isn’t used to people accommodating him he doesn’t even know what to do with it . my point is i am going insane over this

[makeyourlivesextraordinary]

me when im trying to tell someone about the deleted scene in dead poets society where todd helps neil with his lines for the play and theyre laughing and joking and heading towards the dock, which makes the end of the film all the more meaningful and emotional when todd runs to the dock screaming neil’s name

[makeyourlivesextraordinary]
