This film begins with a story about seven young people (Neil, Todd, Charlie, Smeeks, Pitts, Knox, and Cameron) who are studying at Walton Academy. The Walton Academy is an all-boys boarding school that applies very strict rules. The principles of this academy are tradition, honor, discipline, and achievement. When the school started learning, the principal (Mr. Nolan) informed all educators and students that he had replaced an English teacher with an educator who was an alumni of the academy and had studied at Harvard University, namely Mr. Keating.
The strict school rules made the seven young men often feel bored, especially since Neil was demanded by his father to study hard so he could graduate that year. However, after Mr. Keating taught in their class, the classroom learning, which was originally stiff, became fluid. Mr. Way Keating taught the seven young men to be excited.

In each lesson, Mr. Keating always encourages his students to always make changes in their lives and invites them all to interested in poetry. In addition, Mr. Keating also tended to employ unconventional learning methods, such as having his students tear up their textbooks and climb onto their desks. He does this so that his students are able to think for themselves from their own point of view and change their lives.

Review Dead Poets Society: Inspiring Movies
Apart from discussing education and poetry, this film also inspires all of us to dare to take action to get what we want. One example is Knox Overstreet, who began to dare to approach his idol, Chris Noel.
At the end of this film, Charlie Dalton expelled from school after his article discovered by the principal, who insults him in front of other students. Meanwhile, Mr. Keating eventually fired from school for influencing the seven youths to act against the principles of the school, especially when Neil committed suicide because his father opposed his drama performance. However, what Mr. Keating is actually doing is just shaping his students so that they can live according to his wishes.
This film is perfect for those of you who like the genres of friendship, literature, and romance. Apart from that, this film also highly recommended for those of you who often feel inferior to your ideals.
