It is good but it's not my thing

2 stars

12 Mar 2024

When I finished this film I had a confused look on my face and a muddled mind, but having some time to think about it this is what I have to say. Robin Williams is obviously the best part of the film giving an enjoyable, likeable and entertaining performance as John Keating. The boys who form the dead poets society are fine enough for me most of them blend into the group except for Neil and Charlie for there own reasons. The drama I could not get into except the one with Neil reason being the side drama came from certain boys being stupid and thoughtless like Todd and his thing for Cindy which to me Todd is really in the wrong for (if you have watched the film you might know what I am referring to.) The rest of the film is pretty standard filmmaking like the camera work and lighting etc. The soundtrack is good but used rarely. I think the film is good but it really is not my thing.
