Dead Poets Society: screenplay

by Terrence Ryan

A new English teacher, John Keating (Robin Williams), is introduced to an all-boys preparatory school that is known for its ancient traditions and high standards. He uses unorthodox methods to reach out to his students, who face enormous pressures from their parents and the school. With Keating's help, students Neil Perry (Robert Sean Leonard), Todd Anderson (Ethan Hawke) and others learn to break out of their shells, pursue their dreams and seize the day.

"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. Medicine, law, business, engineering, these are all noble pursuits, and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman: "O me, o life of the questions of these recurring, of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities filled with the foolish. What good amid these, o me, o life? Answer: that you arehere. That life exists, and identity.That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse.
What will your verse be?"

Podría pasar horas hablando de esta película. Podría hacer un tfg, un powerpoint, lo que sea, pero una reseña se me queda corta.
Aún así tengo que dejar aquí las 3 cosas que más me arañan el alma de este guión:

1) "We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. [...] That you are here - that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. [Aquí Keating mira a Todd] What will your verse be?”

2) Toda esta escena: https://genius.com/Tom-schulman-dead-...

3) Neil: I want you in, but being in means you gotta do something. Not just say you're in.
Todd: Well, listen, Neil. I-I appreciate this concern, but I-I'm not like you. All right? You, you, you say things and people listen. I'm, I'm not like that.

En definitiva, Todd Anderson. En Todd Anderson vive un trocito de mi y en mí vive un trocito de Todd Anderson. Estamos hechos de los mismos pensamientos, emociones y remordimientos. Y esta historia es la historia más devastadora y preciosa del universo.

I read it in one sitting, because i couldn’t put it down.
It was good , better than good. I loved this book and the characters, the characters were funny, lovely, incredible and just amazing. And the title… poems… the poems in this book were so heartwarming. This classic was really good now i need to watch the film !

O Captain! My Captain! It is not just a line from Dead Poets Society but a way of thinking that teaches the new generation how to live. The book inspires readers to see life from a different angle, to question, to feel, and to think beyond limits. It shows what real education means, not just memorizing lessons but learning the art of life.
Even today, there are teachers like Mr. Keating who encourage students to discover their inner strength and follow their dreams. Dead Poets Society is truly a masterpiece that touches the heart and celebrates the power of words, passion, and individuality.

maybe the problem was in the translation or that i read the screenplay version (couldn’t found book version) but it was so hard to read and i barely could remember the names of the main characters at the end of the book. but I'll give this book a second chance after i watch the film and next time will try to read it in english because everyone loved it so i guess the problem is me and how i read :(

3.5 stars
Since the movie is a 5/5 for me, it is hard to give the same rating to the screenplay, which by itself doesn't fully correlate to the beauty of the film

اگر تمام ذوق و شوق های یک نویسنده و عاشق ادبیات جوان را بتوان در چیزی گنجاند و نشان داد این کتاب می‌شود
تنها دلیلی که چهار ستاره داده‌ام
این است که جدی در پایان ضد حال خوردم که نیل مُرد
به دیدگاه من ناچیز، منی که به هیچ‌وجه طرفدار پایان های خوش نیستم
واقعا اینجا پایان خوش می‌خواستم و منتظر‌ اش بودم
جدا از این ها محشرِ تمام بود و باعث شد در ۴ ساعت از نخست تا پایان‌اش را تمام کنم
