Education - Dead Poets Society

The movie "Dead Poets Society" from Peter Weir is set at an American boys' boarding school where students are to be educated to become compliant, successful members of society - the future middle class of doctors, lawyers and engineers. The new English teacher John Keating (himself a former boarding school graduate, played by the unforgettable Robin Williams) uses his unorthodox teaching methods to encourage his students to recognize their tendencies, to test themselves, to think and act critically and independently and to look at life from a different, open perspective - much to the displeasure of the boarding school management. The students set up the “Dead Poets Society”, where this „way of thinking“ is cultivated in secret. A student discovers his inclination for acting in the course of development and therefore wants to become an actor. However, his father intended him to be a doctor and therefore took him out of school to put him on a military academy and bring him back into line - after which the student then committed suicide in desperation.

In the ensuing investigation into the incident, the students are coerced into handing Keating over to the knife so they can remain at the boarding school. As a consequence, Keating has to leave the boarding school. In the final scene, Keating comes to his former class to collect his personal belongings. The head of the boarding school is just giving a literature lesson - now again in a conventional way: conforming, lifeless and soberly analyzing….what art (literature) is not really about. A student suddenly climbs onto the table and exclaims: „O Captain! My Captain!” - the preferred way Keating wanted to be addressed (an allusion to Keating's favorite poet Walt Whitman). With that he expresses his deference to Keating. Many in the class follow this example - which causes the head of the boarding school to freak out.

That powerful final scene says it all. The seed sown by Keating has already sprout: critical and independent thinking and acting. The movie was released in German cinemas in January 1990 and stirred me up very much. Maybe also because I realized back then that my path in society is basically predetermined as well. This feeling was certainly reinforced by my trip to Brevik in Sweden that same year (see later in the blog). Our educational system often only imparts sober knowledge and skills (cold memorization material) that predominantly wants to produce conform and useful citizens and does not really prepare us for life - except if you have the luck to get a John Keating style teacher. Above all: your own experiences (wether good or bad) are the most formative elements in life - how you process them and what conclusions you draw from them.

guys

i saw the dead poets society german play AND NEIL PERRY AND TODD ANDERSON FUCKING KISSED

TWICE

THEY KISSED RIGHT AFTER NEIL TELLS EVERYONE HE GOT THE ROLE AS PUCK

UP THERE

AND THE SECOND TIME THEY WERE GIGGLING, FLIRTING AND REHEARSING LINES. THEN THEY HID UNDER A BLANKET AND STARTED KISSING EACH OTHER UNDER IT and mr. perry caught them and oh my god you guys

i can't believe this isn't a dps fanfic BUT AN ACTUAL DEAD POETS SOCIETY PLAY

if it's possible for you to go see the play in bad vilbel, definitely do because it's totally worth it! and if u wanna see my insane thread screaming over the entire play and sort of spoil yourself, there you go ig.

[dead-gay-wizards-society]

i just need everyone in the dead poets society fandom to know that there’s a german band called “Club der Toten Dichter” (which is the german title of the dead poets society) and they make poems of dead poets into songs

if that’s not the most dps thing ever idk what is

[inahallucination]

Controversial Dead Poets Opinion: Mr. Perry is trying his best; let's give him a break. Both Mr. and Mrs. Perry deeply care about Neil. They did handle the whole theater kid situation poorly, but still… Let's give credit to Kurtwood Smith for his performance. As he said in an interview, in the hallway scene, he tried to play it down and not act as if Mr. Perry was harassing Neil because Tom loves his son and genuinely believes he is acting in Neil's best interests. Thank you. Now you can lynch me if you wish.

The interwiew is on YouTube "MOVIE TRAILER Action Trailer Movie | DEAD POETS SOCIETY - Actor Interviews | Club der toten Dichter", I'm refering to the bit from 12:53 onwards.

mr perry is such an interesting character and reducing him to just a dimensionless horrible person not only does a disservice to him but also to neil's character and story line

kurtwood smith is an amazing actor and his performance was amazing

dont get me wrong i very much dislike him and i dont think how he treats neil is okay or excusable but i also do believe he thinks he's doing what he thinks is good for neil

actually a lot of parents will push their own ideas and dreams onto their kids in the hope that theyll live a better/happier life

anyway im not gonna go on a analyzing rant about him and his relationship to neil but yea i get ya

Der Club der toten Dichter Empfehlung | Markus van Klev - DJ und Autor

[poesis-mugel-mugel-mugel]

pax america oder der amerikanische frieden. die russische Welt. und pax romana.

Einen gesegneten Sonntag: Danket dem Herrn, denn er ist freundlich und seine Güte wäret ewiglich und seine Wahrheit für und für. AMEN

Zueignung Genug, genug. Enaph. Es ist genug von den Autoren geredet worden. Oder haben sie es nötig. Müssen Sie getröstet werden. Hat es Fjodor Dostojewski aus dem alten Rußland so nötig. Seine Tränen. Heiß. Sie fließen in den Nächten. Auch wenn du ihn verwendest. Gebrauchst. Auch wenn du ihn vorkommen lässt in deinem Roman, der keiner ist. Er ist im Club der toten Dichter. Die Tränen…

In erster Linie in der Laufbahn von Thomas Sattelberger in der FDP. Darauf gehe ich hier aber nicht weiter ein. Hier der Text zu zwei Büchern. Die 68er-Bewegung war wohl weit mehr als eine Protestnote der revoltierenden…

Ach ja, Erich Kästners "Das fliegende Klassenzimmer" oder wie ich es zu nennen pflege: "Ein nicht ganz so trauriges 'Dead Poets Society'".

Okay, everyone hear me out. So my dad and I were watching Dead Poets Society (mostly because I watch this movie often and my dad was like 'this one time I wanna watch it w/you'), and he watched it at least twice and at the end he turned to me and asked: "Was Todd in love with Neil?". I was like, yes he finally understands it! But seriously, it was so obvious my dad pointed it out.
