so I haven't seen this be talked about on here, so I apologize if anyone has posted about this. on TikTok I've seen a lot of people say they never finished dead poets society because the beginning was "too boring to get through" and this is my thought on that
the movie was MEANT to be that way. in my eyes at least. in the beginning it did kind of drag on. the boys are barely getting into Welton and adults are prattling on about tradition and the importance of staying devoted to their work and what not. the boys go to class and they learn latin and get assigned a million assignments a day. naturally it's going to drag on !! that's what the boys lives are like !!! it's slow and boring and they probably hate it as much as that audience does.
all that changes whenever they get to Keating's class. that's when you get interested, that's also when the poets get interested. now they're eager, now they're actually looking forward to something. and from that point onward the movie really has you captivated and wanting to watch more. that's whenever you finally get an understanding of the characters !
then yknow. after the play happens. that scene. and you're/the audience is taken by the loss of Neil. you grieve with the characters. (aside from the people who thought it was stupid that Neil killed himself or completely misinterpreted why he did it. I don't like you people.) and the movie starts slowing down again, because now the poets are losing everything. all the progress they made was forcefully taken away by the system they've been forced to grow in.
the only scene that goes by a bit faster is the closing one, and I think that's because that was their last stand. their last attempt to fight against the system. they still lost, but at least they tried.
of course, this is how I see it, don't know about everyone else !

I think Brokeback Mountain made the general public mad in a way a lot of other gay movies before it hadn’t because it made people uncomfortable to think of gay men in careers associated with traditional masculinity. It’s okay if the gay guy on screen is a lisping effeminate theatre performer or troubled artist, that’s comfortable, they’re used to that stereotype, it’s okay if they exist in a world separated from them. The idea that there are gay men out there working rugged blue collar jobs in fields like construction, mining and animal agriculture makes them angry. We need to keep telling these stories.

When it comes to asexual allyship a lot of people wanna have their cake and eat it too (pun unintended). People like a lil 'aces are valid' moment but don't actually unpack compulsory sexuality. People see sexless queer representation and always clock puritanism before they ever clock asexuality. No one's actually reading the ace theory and texts coming out. Everyone keeps doing surprised Pikachu faces whenever a conservative or TERF says they're against asexuality despite the fact ace activists have been saying since day conservatives are not anti sex but anti sexual autonomy. 'Aces are queer' until we actually are. Even ace support posts keep ending with some expectation or condition that asexuality is #valid as long as asexuals still perform a small quota of sex/sexual activity. I'm so over 'Aces still have sex!' 'Aces are hot' Aces are sexy' 'Aces aren't virgin vanilla prude sexless puritans!' disguised as support.
Like no. Sorry. Until you accept that some asexual people's no is permanent, that some asexual's singleness is permanent, that some asexual's childless-ness is permanent, that some asexuals are the 'no' in little to no sexual attraction and i'd say most importantly, that queer sexlessness isn't a biological, social or moral failing, I don't believe you'll ever genuinely support asexuality. (In reverse, I also feel similar about aromanticism and romance).
Like a lot of u haven't gone beyond 'the a isn't for ally' and it shows. I don't want people to support asexuals just because we're soooo hot or because we write the best smut apparently or because we could have hypothetical sex or because we could do hypothetical kink or because our minds are soooo dirty actually or because we'd do romance reallllyyyy well or because we can still have kids or because asexuals hand out water bottles at the orgy or some shit. I want people to support asexuality because no sexuality is deviant and it's basic human decency.

everything is going to be okay. there is always going to be another toasty morning snuggled up in your sheets, another soft sweater to throw on, another moment of pure contentment. there is always going to be another laugh that heals everything you didn’t know needed healing, there’s always going to be another time that makes you feel certain that being alive is the sweetest gift. even if it’s not now, it will happen.

It will forever make me ill how Neil’s line “I was good. I was really good.” is so completely not about the play. But it is, at the same time, because it’s about his acting, and him playing the part for his entire life, getting good grades and being top of his class and being a good friend and appeasing his father. He was good. He was really good. But he still wasn’t enough.
