Two dead guys, both with iceboxes where their hearts used to be. One found on Nancy’s car, one found at Nancy’s carnival. I vote Temperance.

I just don’t understand Christmas, I guess.

The camera panning to Neil when Keating mentions dying and when Knox says he is going to off himself if he can’t have Chris is absolutely diabolical

What’s your favourite scene and/or what’s your favourite quote? 😊

All of Keating’s lessons mesmerized me, so have to give those scenes an honorable mention, especially Todd’s poem. After so many rewatches, I have a special fondness for Charlie’s “poetrusic”:

“Laughing, crying, tumbling, mumbling. Gotta do more. Gotta be more. Chaos screaming, chaos dreaming. Gotta do more. Gotta be more”

It’s incredibly real and speaks to the nature of wanting to “seize the day”

Thanks for the ask @puckspoetry

Why is the snow lowkey traumatizing now like all I think about is Neil and him being DEAD

As we approach the end of 2024, this quote from Walt Whitman’s poem “O Me! O Life!” as heard in Dead Poets Society seems a fitting way to reflect on the year as we enter into a new one:

“That you are here—that life exists and identity, That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse” (Whitman)

…

that the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse

Dead Poets Society (1989) dir. Peter Weir

[thegreatmelodrama]

In Dead Poets Society, when the gun shot goes off, the sound is cut and we see Neil's father wake up. He's the only person that heard it.

If a tree falls in a forest with nobody around, did it even make a sound?

Neil's father was never willing to listen to Neil. His insistence that Neil follow a path he didn't want led to Neil's final decision.

If a tree falls in a forest and the only person around is deaf, did it even make a sound?
