Synopsis
Welton Academy is a prestigious all-male preparatory boarding school with old-fashioned school rules. John Keating, a new teacher, surprises his students with unconventional teaching methods that encourage them to think out of the box and “seize the day” to enjoy the meaning of life and discover their true interests and goals. Under Keating’s supportive wings, the students are introduced into the world of humanities and poetry with a fresh perspective. They secretly revive the unsanctioned Dead Poets Society which Keating was once a member of, and they read poetry about love and life in a cave off-campus. The school’s authoritative and conservative figures find Keating’s teaching methods deviating, and disapprove of the secretly formed Society. As the opposition and oppression from the parents and the school intensifies, one of the students chooses to end his life as resistance, while other students are forced to betray Keating, resulting in his termination from the position.
Teachers who provide compassionate guidance can leave long-lasting and inspirational influences on the minds of young students as they grow. Director Peter Weir tells a reflective and powerful story of the struggles between the traditional education system, a teacher using unorthodox methods and his group of young students in the process of individuation – interrogating the very nature of education.
