Robin Williams: who brought Koko the gorilla out of depression, who got Ethan Hawke his agent, who cheered up Steven Spielberg during the filming of Schindler's List, who kept Christopher Reeve's spirits up after his paralysis, who convinced Sharon Osbourne to resume chemotherapy. Lovely, lovely man.

Oh good luck ladies with this one.

The final scene will never not be powerful

What I really hate is the thought that the Neil's father can be allowed to think it was Keating's fault and not his fault.

The actress that played Neil’s mom did so well. She had such a small part but was so believable with her wailing after Neil’s death.

After Robin Williams tragically committed suicide, social media was loaded with the final "O Captain, My Captain" scene. Fitting tribute.

My favourite detail of the students collective stand-up for Keating at the end is it was the boy who didnt have a voice at the beginning that led the charge.

Norman Lloyd, who played the Headmaster, was an actor of immense range. In St Elsewhere he played Dr Auschlander, a character who was as kind and empathetic as his Dead Poets' Headmaster was terse and cruel. Lloyd died in 2021 at 106 years old.

“I stand upon my desk to remind myself that we must constantly look at things in a different way.” I used to feel that this movie was merely a sad one because of Neil's death. Then i think upon the final scene and realize that those who stood upon their desks and shouted "O Captain, My Captain" to Mr Keating now knew that their minds were free from the shackles of conformity enforced upon them by Hellton and their parents. Imagine the powerful verses that those seven or eight boys will contribute in the future.

When Robin passed…EVERYONE worldwide was saying Captain, Oh Captain. Robin was the best.

Robin WAS a teacher.
He was a professor of joy and humanity.

Dead Poets Society is such a beautiful film. Every viewing feels just as touching and heartbreaking as the first, and its brilliance never fades.”

The mother's performance when they find Neil has always wrecked me. I can't imagine that you'd feel anything other than that frantic pleading in that moment. Brutal.

Both Todd and Neil were characters living lives of quiet desperation. It took Neil’s death for Todd to find his voice. Also another good inspiration movie by Robin Williams was “Patch Adams.”

The script originally called for Cameron to also stand on his desk at the end, but the actor playing Cameron (Dylan Kussman) convinced director Peter Weir that Cameron wouldn't do that.

Standing on the desk is like when I did photography in college. We were taught that eye level is the most boring photo. Hold the camera up high or get on your knees and it's instantly a more interesting shot.

Neil faked his death. He changed his name to Wilson and became a top doctor in the U.S.A. His best friend is named Gregory House. His dad would've been proud.

This movie is tough. I watch it sparingly. But while one boy died, many others will now TRULY live.

@charlier711 10 months ago

In 1989 when this movie came out every graduate had "Carpe Diem" on their caps. Robin has said in interviews that this was one of his favorite roles because of the message, and it's definitely my favorite. Some of the cast, including Ethan Hawke, have said in interviews that they could see some of Robin's mental struggles even back then. What a verse he contributed. RIP Captain my Captain.

I loved how after Ethan Hawke stood on his desk and declared "O' Captain, my Captain", Cassie immediately sat up,subconsciously standing on her own desk, and then Carly did the same. If they were Mr. Keating's students they would definitely be among the standing.
