Dead Poets Society
Harsh review by Jim Emerson analyzing what the film is really about.
Dead Poets Society (1989) By Hopelessly riddled with paradoxes and contradictions, Peter Weir's Dead Poets Society is a numbingly conventional commercial formula picture that, incongruously, pretends to celebrate non-conformity
Nevertheless, Dead Poets Society features Robin Williams' most convincing and restrained screen work -- effectively muting his compulsion to skip from one shtick to another, rather than limit himself to playing a single character -- even though those were the very anarchic impulses that made him a unique star in the first place
Unfortunately, in the case of Dead Poets Society -- a sort of Stand and Deliver about wealthy, male, teenage Anglo-Saxons -- these paradoxes (except for the ones involving Williams) don't serve or enrich the movie, they just cause it to collapse upon itself
When the kids dig up Keating's old school yearbook and find that their charismatic professor used to belong to a mysterious cult called the Dead Poets Society, he lets them in on the secret: It was a group of students who met in the ancient Indian caves nearby and read poetry -- their own as well as Walt Whitman's -- thereby causing girls to swoon

"What 'Stand and Deliver's' Edward James Olmos did for logarithms, Williams aims
to do for iambic pentameter in this lively blackboard melodrama.

Send e-mail to: Dead Poets Society (1989) Steven C
When he asks 'Think he will test us on that stuff?' Charlie Dalton aptly replies 'Don't you get anything?' Later it will be Cameron again who will be most reluctant to tear out the pages from the textbook at Keating's request and who will later still have doubts about renewing the Dead Poets Society Keating was a part of when he was a student at Welton Academy at an earlier time
But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.' With Neil's discovery of Keating's senior annual, the old Dead Poets Society that Keating was involved with when he was a student at Welton (Hellton, by nickname) rears its head
Not a bad way to spend an evening, eh?' That evening, under Neil's leadership, the boys 'reconvene' the Dead Poets Society
Neil honors tradition by opening the new 'chapter' of the society the way Keating and his classmates used to open it, by reading from Henry David Thoreau's Walden the passage about 'going to the woods' in order to 'live deliberately, ' to 'live deep and suck out the marrow of life, ' so that when they came 'to die' they would not 'discover' that they 'had not lived' at all

The society was founded by Keating when he was an undergraduate, but in its reincarnate form it never generates any sense of mystery, rebellion or daring
The society's meetings have been badly written and are dramatically shapeless, featuring a dance line to Lindsay's 'The Congo' and various attempts to impress girls with random lines of poetry
