what do we think about the dead poets and ambition? 🤔
#this is a VERY open ended question but go ham#personally i don't think neil has much ambition - he wants to pursue his art and find joy in it#and i sort of feel he enjoys the success as a byproduct#now although todd is too shy in most of the movie to express any ambition i can't shake the feeling that he would be an excellent leader#someone gentle but firm you know the type#knox has ambition for the sake of ambition but this guy is a fucking Romantic at heart#reckon he goes after the feeling not the goal#i can never separate meeks from his science in my mind so with full certainty: no ambition. this guy loves knowledge. that's it#academic credentials are a happy accident#pitts is too wise to entertain a lot of ambition.#i think he discovers the secrets of life or something like it at a very young age he has that vibe#charlie though? that's Mr Ambition to you#that boy has GOALS. that boy is going to be a LEADER OF MEN#to paraphrase something i read once#it's the charisma.#and last but not least#i actually don't know how i feel about cameron and ambition#does he have too much? too little? does he only have what he thinks he should have?#leaning towards the latter#FULL disclosure this was brought on by a musketeers au i've been turning over in my mind#disclaimer this is my personal interpretation#dead poets society#the dead poets society#neil perry#todd anderson#knox overstreet#steven meeks#gerard pitts#charlie dalton#richard cameron
