These scenes are contrasts btw

Knox goes into Chris’ school to willingly read a poem he wrote. / Todd is already at his school when he’s forced to recite a poem he just improvised.

Knox entered the class with the whole purpose of reading it. / Todd entered class with absolutely no intention to recite anything.

Chris was… not impressed. / Neil, on the other hand, was.

(Chris covering her head and face, refusing to look at Knox. / Neil staring directly at Todd, unabashedly.)

Kids were laughing at Knox. / Kids were laughing at Todd at first, but then they stopped and became impressed, and clapped.

Knox looks at his audience (the students). Several times, in fact. / Todd’s eyes are closed. Just when he’s about to look at the class, Keating makes it a point to stop him, tell him to not do it, to keep his eyes closed.

Chris tried to discourage Knox from reading the poem and failed. / Mr Keating tried to encourage Todd into making up a poem and succeeded (after basically forcing him to, but well).

Both read it in front of the class aswell

(Also, Chris begins not being interested on Knox while Knox is super interested, slowly Chris warms up to him and they date vs Neil begins very interested on Todd and always trying to include him while Todd is reluctant at first and avoidant, but slowly warms up and then Neil dies)

So i was rewatching dead poets society and i noticed that in this shot

we see the gun laying there with neil's left hand so it implies the gun was in his left hand, but neil is right handed so why would he take the gun in his left hand that doesn't make sense but then i remembered this deleted scene

where the poets all eat with their left hand because they wanted to get rid of old habits. This doesn't need to be connected but I can't think of a different reason

I noticed something in dps

in film class last year they taught us that when shooting dialogue you show connections by putting the back of someone in the shot or smth i don’t really remember BUT

in the “I’m trapped” scene when Neil is telling Mr Keating about how his dad won’t let him act it shows Mr K, therefore showing that Neil feels like Mr Keating really understands

but right after Me Keating says that Neil should tell his father it no longer shows them together in the shot because Neil feels alone again, because he realizes that Mr K doesn’t fully understand his plight

so now I’m crying

thank you for coming to my Ted talk

Anderperry great gatsby AU (kinda) where Neil falls almost immediately for Todd but Todd is, yknow, Todd, so very distant and quiet, and when they discover about the dead poets society Neil decides to do it, if only in hopes than Todd will join, if only to spend more time with him, to get him to talk to him. Todd doesn’t go to the first meetings, but Neil doesn’t give up. I only threw this party for you, only threw this party for you, for you, for you…

Never getting over when Keating says "every one of us will turn cold and die" and not only does it pan to Neil but istg you can see him getting akward cus he's definitely been suicidal for a while
