Dead Poets Society Spoilers - Tumblr Posts

I love hearing people ramble, especially about things im interested in 🗣️🗣️

I watched this movie after my finals and ended up sobbing my eyes out to a can of soda.

This movie is genuinely so carpe diem, for the lack of better word,,,

the part where neil finally plays a role in the theatre as ‘seizing the day’— except it just ends in a disaster. The moment he finally goes ‘carpe diem’, he is only met with the cruel fate of reality. (Not saying that the cave shenanigans, etc is not at least a bit of ‘carpe diem’ but this is like the ULTIMATE CARPE DIEM AHAHA)

AND TODD’S POEM SCENE. i could watch that for hours ‼️‼️I LOVED MR KEATINGS HERE OMG???THE PART WHERE IT GOES LIKE “forget them, forget them, stay on the blanket, tell me about the blanket.” IT DOES SOMETHING TO MEEE

I cannot for the life of me put my thought into words😭😭

u are so right with neil 😭 his story is so tragic and i honestly don’t think i can ever get past it :”) the adults in his life were absolute scum and he was too good for this world.

BROO THE POEM SCENE. IT IS ICONIC FOR A REASON!!!! like, our creativity is only hindered by ourselves and what we believe to be our limit, and with mr keating helping todd overcome his anxieties even just for a bit, todd managed to soar and succeed.

everybody deserves a mr keating in their life, i hope we can find ours one day :]

here are some recommendations btw, if u find yourself yearning for something similar to this masterpiece of a movie:

a separate peace (book)

good will hunting (movie)

les choristes (movie)

the browning version (movie)

the goldfinch (book)

the secret history (book. for the academia vibes. i love this one.)

to sir with love (movie)

there is obviously also the breakfast club & the outsiders, but u seem like the type of person who has watched those already 😋
