Dead Poets Society: Carpe Diem!

Mon, 16 Jul 2007 20:49:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author travinsky - "Carpe Diem" is the Latin phrase that John Keating (Robin Williams) used to inspire his Freshmen students. I also find it a coincidence that the star's character name closely resembles one of the great English Romantic poets. I first saw this movie...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author knc40905 - Being fully aware that this particular motion picture has raised numerous critics to the surface, I will begin by pointing out the fact that ANY film causing massive controversy, without question must be both powerful and extra-ordinary. Secondly,...

Thu, 11 Sep 2003 06:55:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author voxpoptart - There are intelligent movie fans, even major critics, who hate the Dead Poets’ Society; hate it enough to still mention the fact 14 years after its release. I say this because, if you’re one of them, I ask that you stick around; I'll...

Sat, 9 Mar 2002 13:15:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author zenstar812 - "Most men live lives of quiet desperation." This is my favorite quote by John Keating in the whole movie. Perhaps it is the truth that is spoken from the very soul that strikes such a chord in me. Perhaps it does not have the same impact as "Carpe...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author akaMum - It's funny how in the middle of a song, book or movie, that one memorable line pops from the page or screen and makes you stop and think. On a cold and wet Sunday afternoon, an old school friend and I found ourselves in our nearest movie...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Bunny74 - As a former student of The Darlington School in Rome, GA, this film hit home for me more than perhaps any other I've seen in a while. Robin Williams' performance as Mr. Keating was so reminicent of my teachers, Saunders, Powell, and Birch, that I felt...
