I was so glad that after watching Dead Poets Society for a while it didn't come across as one of those 'Hey! I'm a new teacher with weird teaching technique who somehow manages to make my class win at something and y'all are gonna love me' movies. This film saved itself quite well from falling into that lame category thanks to high-degree drama towards its ending which I personally thought was the crucial factor to take this Academy-Award nominated movie to the next level. If certain graph were plotted to show changes of emotion along the length of the film, a steady line would be drawn from the start until the climax in its third quarter, the death of Neil, where every characters' emotion peaked and since then was literally one hell of a tear festival, when a graph would change into a crazy line like pulses of someone who has a heart attack.
Robin Williams as Mr. Keating was surprisingly subtle and fairly convincing. Considering it's a challenging role particularly for a comedian, so there's no wonder why he got nominated for Best Actor award, but frankly watching this movie, I couldn't care less about him because, you know, it's Robin Williams after all. The cast of students was good but I'm not gonna go through them one by one since I have no idea who these actors are, well, except Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman's ex-husband who now looks like a random UK rock band's guitarist who's always on crack. His boyish look back then surprised me so hard but that's not so important as the story of his character, Todd, who I relate to the most. Yes, I used to be one of those quiet and introvert guys and I still am, so the scene when Todd was dragged by Mr. Keating to the front of the class to spontaneously come up with poems was undoubtedly my favortie scene and the best moment of the film so far. I'm not gonna lie that I was literally about to give him a big round of applause as if I were in that classroom in 1959.
Mr. Keating is no hero. I appreciate that the movie didn't make any judgement on him and I couldn't ask for the better ending than in which Mr. Keating felt regretful of what he might have influenced his students and was finally terminated from the school. It's such a heart-warming yet realistic ending that didn't spoil viewers with excessive daydreaming or fit in happily ever after cliche because there was something much more beautiful in this film than just a rainbow spewing. At least in this last goodbye not only the students learnt a great deal from their teacher but Mr. Keating himself also experienced the lesson of his lifetime from his 16-year-old students.
