Oh my, where do I even start to begin, where do I even start- Well, first of all, Robin Williams I genuinely hope you are happier now, you will always be remembered. Anyway, before I start to cry about the death of such an amazing actor, this film is just amazing and I think they should show this film to you in school because I think a number of people would really benefit from it. This films sends people a number of lessons and one of them is to find your own voice and I think that’s a pretty important thing to told, especially when you’re in high school. This film makes you appreciate the beauty that is poetry, for some people more than they already do and for many people it makes them begin to love it. The film is just incredibly inspiring and I love it. One of the (many) things I love about this incredible film is that this film is story filled with boys. Quite a lot of people, when talking about anything to do with poetry or writing they associate it solely with girls. However, this film shows that boys can also learn and know about the beauty of words and poetry. Boys I think need to know that writing and poetry is not just for girls. Dead Poets Society also shows people that boys don’t always have to be fierce and tough, that boys can also be sensitive and a bit insecure which I don’t think is portrayed enough in films, especially these days. You don’t have to be a girl to appreciate the English language, this film taught you that you just have to be human. This film is simply beautiful and I really wish more people knew about it. R.I.P Robin Williams.
